FINS Garrett.

AS soon as Congress adjourned Finis
Garrett came home and went right on
the stump speaking for the Democratic
ticket, making several speeches in this
Congressional district. We believe Mr..
CARROTS speeches over the district did
much to solidify the Democratic vote,
aud that his coming home did much
good for the party. He emphasized the
fact that two aud four years ago there
was some reason for some Democrats to
go off and vote with the Republican
party, be Independents, for the plat
form was not what was wanted by them,
and was not in keeping with what was
thought to be the tenets OF the party,
but that this year there was no reason
whatever for the Independents to vote
Republican ticket, for the party in its
platform declared emphatically for-the
temperance and law enforcement planks
they had been calling for for four years
We know that his speech here did good,
and we feel confident that wherever be
spoke he made votes for Tom Rye.
Finis Garrett is brainy man and a
fluent speaker, and whenever he gets
on the hustings there is generous OUT
pouring Of the people to hear him.
Some of these days the Mail man will
see him Governor Of the State OF Ten
nessee. He IS man that stands high
in the councils OF the Democratic party
both nationally and in the State. May
his shadow never grow less. Martin
Mail.

DIR. +. M. McRee is a candidate for
State Commissioner Of Agriculture and
one OF the applicants for that position
under Governor-elect Thomas G. Rye.
This position was held for eight yearsby
Middle Tennesseans and four years by
an East Tennesscan. West Tennessee
has been disregarded altogether IN the
appointment Of Commissioner oil Agrl-
culture. This statement is not made to
boost DR.. McRee. A farmer all his life,
citizen of the highest character, hon.
orable, clean to the core, he is equip
ped and qualified 10 every conceivable
way for this one of the most important
positions in the State. DR.. Mckee
knows farming from the ground up.
He knows the methods. No man stands
higher in the State, none better known.
La public life there are none more active,
and these are the real reasons why he
should have the appointment. ltwould
be hard to find more suitable man, In
fact, it is extremely doubtful II there is
a single one in Tennessee as well adapted
to the duties and responsibilities OF the
Office as DIR. Mckee. Besides, Dr. Nc
Rec would undoubtedly give the position
a dignity and command the respect it
has never yet reached. This is said
without reflection on any OF the pre-
decessors, and no man will entertain
any who knows the genial obion County
citizen. DIR. McRee is Endorsed by some
of the best citizens and public men OF
the State. He is personally Endorsed by
General Bennett H. Young, general
commander OF the Confederate Veterans,
and the whole people Of his own county
are for him. As we look at it, there IS
no use going any further about the APP
pointment. DIR. McRee is the man, the
right man, and he should by all means
have the place.
