PEACE IN TENNESSEE.

The present political campaign has
one paramount issue.
1t is peace in Tennessee, for Ten.
nessee.
For years there has been no peace
There have been chickering's and ha-
treds and rivalries and jealousies and
feuds and lamentations that have un-
settled conditions and checked prog
ress, and made the state an object OF
humiliation to it's citizens, and for
sympathy from those who live with
out it's borders.
The state has for years made no
material gains.
It's legislators have been seething
aggregations of factionalism.
Sobriety of conduct and converva-
tism have not been known.
Criticism of the courts, disturbance
of the regimes of the state institutions
an injection of politics into every mat
ter of public concern have been the
rule and the program.
The governor of the state has been
an arbitrary, restless, reckless, greedy
busybody, playing his game of politics
at heavy cost to the good name, fair
fame and prosperity of the people.
He has been guarantee against
peace.
In continuous and never-ceasing agi-
tation has lain his opportunity, and
he has grasped the fact and made all
use of it.
Should he be reelected, he will con-
tinue his headlong career, grabbing
power from every direction, until his
ambition is gratified and the political
party to which he belongs has be-
come in fact majority party in the
state, when it is the third party in the
nation.
His program is to take our district
and county and municipal affairs and
direct them to the one great end of
his own political perpetuation and his
party's advantage.
Fortunately there is a president in
Washington, who with steady and pa
triotic hand, is guiding the nations
course.
A democratic administration, with
a democratic congress to cooperate,
will be able to avert peril in present
world turmoil.
This is no time, therefore, to with
hold support from him.
1t is no time to withhold cheer and
the comforting assurance that the
states of the union are with him.
In England, all local issues, the III
ster threatenings among others, have
been relegated, the veal of the en-
pire being put ahead of all others.
In France, a new cabinet broader
than the old, representing all clcsses,
has taken charge in this fateful hour
of the republics destinies, and every
Frenchman is at one with his govern
ment.
The democrats have named as their
candidate for governor man who in
herits the love of his state and country
from pure-bred Tennessee ancestry.
He is strong in his individuality, in
his integrity, in wisdom and courage
and poise.
He is no alarmist and will discour-
age sensationalism in the executive
office, and bring the states govern
ment to a sane and safe basis.
He is not an agitator, but will walk
in high places with dignity and with
respect of his fellows.
He will give the state rest and
peace. He will give to the national
administration his sincere and heart
felt cooperation.
Gov. Hooper has strutted and fretted
and agitated and messed through four
long years of unsuccessful domination
of Tennessee's affairs.
It is time to relegate him. Let us
have peace in Tennessee Memphis

ARGUMENTS IN
BIG CASE CLOSES
STEEL TRUST WAS ABLE TO
CRUSH ALL ITS SMALLER
COMPETITION.

Philadelphia, Oct. 29--The final
- y argument in the greatest co..
poratlon case ever considered by any
court opened with Jacob M. Dick
1nson, former secretary of war and
special assistant to the attorney gen
eral, continuing his address urging
that the United States Steel Corpo-
ration should be disintegrated, be-
cause it is violating the antitrust
laws. Mr.. Dickinson's argument was
largely in rebuttal of what the six
corporation lawyers who preceded
him had said in defense of the cor.
poration and its subsidiaries.
Mr.. Dickinson said the steel corpo-
ration had the power to crush out all
competitors if it so desired, but it
realized that if it pursued such a
policy it would be crushed swiftly by
the government. 1t adopted a differ
ent scheme, he said. 1t entered into
pools, agreements and combinations
with its competitors, he declared, by
means of which prices were kept up
and larger returns were received on
its enormous Watered capital 1t was,
he said, the most astute and most
comprehensive policy that ever has
characterized any business movement
In the history of the world
After fumors of possible prosecu-
tion got abroad, after congressional
governmental investigations were
stated, Mr.. Dickinson declared the
corporation changed its methods to
reach the same ends. 1t dropped
pools and agreements and larger and
broader schemes were devised. These
were the famous Gray dinners and
meetings which were attended by 80
per cent of the iron and steel manu-
facturers of the country. At the din
ners and meetings K. H. Gary, head
of the steel corporation, WIS always
the most active figure, and Mr.. Dick
inson alleged that understandings
were reached by which prices were
Kept up. He ridiculed the explana-
tions of the defense that the dinners
were held only to discuss business
conditions and not to fix prices, di-
vide territory and limit output ~
