son.
Resolved, further, that we endorse
the appointment of the Honorable
Sam c. Williams as a member Of the
supreme court of this state. We le-
cognize in him a learned, able and
! faithful Judge, which merits an en-
dorsement by an election for the I'M
expired term; that we still stand for
the control of the party organization
and for a declaration of its policies
and principles by the honest majority
of it's members, and we still stand op-
posed to those evil and despotic meth
DDS which caused that successful rev.
olution which resulted in the election
of'a free and untrammeled judiciary
and in the utter defeat in two other
memorable contests of those enemies
of true democracy who sought by ar
bitrary, fraudulent and undemocratic
methods and procedure to stifle the
honest expression of the members OF
the party as to party government and
party principles and policies.
Resolved, further, that we not only
stand for an honest ascertainment Of
the true expression of majority Of
the members of the party, but we also
stand for an honest election law,
which will give every possible Sc
curity for an honest ballot and a fair
count in all elections.
Resolved, however, that we invite
and urge of the so-called regular de-
mocracy to join with us in this con-
test to the end that the true and gen
uine democracy in this state nay
hereafter be in rightful and undisput-
ed command of the ship of state.
Resolved, that we find the same
conditions existing which have sur
rounded US for the last four years,
at least to such an extent that makes
it proper and necessary for us to
endorse the administration of the
governor, the Honorable Ben W.
Hooper, who has so faithfully and un
flinchingly stood for the principles

convention assembled at the court
house at noon with a fairly good at
tendance and considerable enthusi4
asm.
The meeting was called to order by
Thomas B. Forgey, chairman OF the
county committee, who stated the OBJ
jects of the convention. On motion
of Judge Jesse Tomlinson the follow
ing committee on permanent oIgani-
cation was named Judge Tomlinson,
H. O. Hendley, Rev. J. o. Gregory.
This committee reported recommend
ing Judge Holding for chairman and
Cliff Hendley for secretary.
Judge Holding spoke briefly accept
ing the honor, in which he referred
to the great campaigns of the PAST.
He said, in the course of his remarks,
that he had no word of criticism for
those who had gone out of the ranks,
and hoped they would return before
the election. He spoke approvingly
of the national administration.
The following committee on resolu,
tons was named: James A. Smiser,

Resolution adopted by the mass
convention endorse Hooper, en-
dorse Williams for supreme Judge, in
struct for w. P. Mcclure for railroad
commissioner and stand for existing
temperance and election laws. The
resolutions follow:
Resolved, by the independent dent
ocratic party of Maury county, in
mass convention assembled, that we
are, by virtue of our fidelity to the
true principles of democracy a con-
stituent part of the real and genuine
democratic party of this state and
enslaving powers and influences is
one of the essential virtues Of free
born, liberty loving democrat, and we
still find it necessary to exercise that
virtue to save this party in this state
from those who seek to get control Of
its organization and by fraudulent
suppression of the voice Of the ma
jority to serve a special interest and
to further selfish purposes.
Resolved, therefore, that we stand
for the present election laws.
Resolved, further that we stand
for the present statutes prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors and for an uneQuivocal
enforcement of the same, aud for all
and any additional legislation that
may aid in the effective enforcement
of such laws to the end that both the
liquor power and the liquor traffic
may be absolutely and forever ban
ished from and suppressed in this
state.
Resolved further that we cannot
trust the unsecured promise of that
organization calling itself the execu-
tive committee of the regular democ-
racy, which organization has for six
long years of bitter struggle sought
to stiae the majority voice of the par
/ ty and to perpetuate itself in pow er
| by fraudulent election law admins

will.
