COX AND SELLS SPOKE
HERE SATURDAY.

Congressman Sam X. Sells and Gen
James B. Cox spoke here last Satur-
day in joint debate in the interest OF
their candidacy for congress. The
speaking took place in the auditorium
of Unaka Academy where a large and
representative audience greeted the
speakers. Mr.. Sells opened the debate,
speaking one hour, and was followed
by General Cox, who spoke one hour
and twenty minutes, after which Con-
gresham Sells made a rejoinder OF
twenty minutes.
The candidates were each given an
enthusiastic reception by their friends
who appeared to be pretty equally
divided. The discussion was carried
out differently to what had been an
ticipated by great many, being de-
voted mostly to the question of which
was the regular republican nominee,
and in main was free from PERSONAL
ties. something commendable to each
of the candidates, as the people have
become tired and disguised with such
tactics.
Cy Il. Lyle, democratic candidate
was also billed to speak at this time,
but it appears that the other two can
didates consumed all the time between
trains. and hence Mr.. Lyle did not get
to speak, and in this, we find the only
criticism to offer. We believe that
the two republican candidates con-
Stunning the entire time, should have
been satisfied with an hour each and
conceded Mr.. Lyle, who was billed to
speak with them, the remainder of
the time, 80 or 40 minutes, and We
believe further that we voice the SEN
timent of a large majority of the
crowd in our expressions.-Proof

VOTE FOR GE0RGE WEIGH.

When the democrats of Tennessee
go to the polls on Tuesday, November
3rd, to vote for General Thomas c.
Rye for governor, they must not ne
elect to vote for Hon, George N.
Welch, democratic nominee for rail-
road commissioner.
Mr.. WEIGH is a young man of much
business ability, and is not a politi-
clan. He has served as mayor of his
home town, Monterey, as a member of
the state senate, was delegate to the
democratic convention which nomina-
ted Wilson for president and has been
a member of the state democratic exc
cutive committee. He is known all
over the state as progressive bust
ness man.
Both Mr. Welch and his opponent
are from Monterey, but poll of the
voters in that precinct shows, it is
said, that the vote will be five or six
to one in favor of Mr.. Welch, al
though the precinct is usually stand
off between the democrats and repub-
licans. If the Young Mans Candi-
date" will run this well where the peo-
pie know both candidates intimately
the voters of the state can afford to
place confidence in him.

A SIGNIFICANT OMISSION.

Governor Hooper has been painful
ly silent on all features of the cam
paign except those which affect his
candidacy. His failure to vigorously
advocate republican Legislature to
be entirely in sympathy with the re-
publican governor in case of his cleo
ton is SO obvious that it is attracting
attention whenever he speaks. He
seems to have given up all hope of
having a legislature that will be in
sympathy with him and his republi-
canism, but submits to the common
view of the situation that the next
general assembly will be democratic.
If it is going to be as Governor
Hooper and all the rest of the people
believe; if the legislature is certain
to be democratic and antagonistic to
Hooper-and Hooper knows this fact
what could the present governor
hope to do in the way of conserving
the public interest? What power
would he have in the matter of legis-
lation, or what could he do in the way
of allaying fractional strife and bring
ing peace to the state?
Hooper's election with hostile leg
islature would mean another long
term of turmoil and distraction-an-
other period of waste and harassment
an exploitation of great common
wealth for the sinister and selfish
motive of enthroning an antagonistic
and hostile political party.
Democratic Tennessee does not
want, nor does the best interest re-
quire republican governor. A demo-
cratic governor can and will do every
good and essential thing that Hooper
promises to do, but which he could
not by the very nature of the condi-
tons that will exist, and it is the plain
duty of all to stand by Rye and Rye
legislature, to the end that peace may
be restored in the state and that peo-
pie may have what the platform pro-
nouncements of the democratic prom

HOOPER,s BOOK SCANDAL.

| The state has been outraged in many
ways during the past four years, but
no feature of the wanton mismanage-
ment has been more cruel and unjust
than the imposition practiced upon
the teachers and the school children.
The teachers wonder for what pur-
pose the fees exacted from them have
been used, and the parents of the chill
dren wonder what hidden and sinister
cause there has been for the confu-
sion in the change of books and why
such books should be so high and at
the same time so inferior.
Tom Rye has charged that Tonnes
see has been made the dumping ground
for inferior books.
He has piled the evidence UP against
Hoopers claim of having saved the
state 100000 on books, and shows
that Hoopers administration has cost
the people in school book adop;ions
100000, and that the change in alith-
metics alone has cost the people SAL
900.
Here is telltale letter which con-
victs Hooper of not only palming Off
on the people inferior books, but of
allowing them to be cheated in price

tendent Barksdale Hamlet, Frank

II am sending you today, in accord
ance with yonr request, set of the
Tennessee arithmetics, and set of
the Kentucky arithmetics. A glance
at these books will indicate to you the
difference. Notice the light cover of
the Tennessee book; cheap binding
and cheap material in general, as COM
pared with the Kentucky book; also
the difference in the amount of mater
ial The real truth of the matter is
that we make larger per cent of
profit on the Tennessee book than we
do on the Kentucky book am giving
you the facts so that you can see the
difference" '"e
Let the Hooper crew of cheats and
shams clear up this appalling book
scandal or confess that the difference
in the price and quality of the books
sold to Tennessee and those offered
to Kentucky constitutes an outrageous
administration imposition upon the
people of Tennessee.-Nashvill Ten

A FEW FOOLS AND IDIOTS.
BY Can't. ID. p. Ballard.

In the lectures of professor Lam
brose and the history of criminology
we read the following: Last OCTOBER
| (1901) there was held a congress of
criminologists for all of Europe. at
Amsterdam, Holland. Taking the
plaster casts of the heads of the rulers
and prominent men of Europe, pr
fessor Lambrose, the most noted Grim
inologist in the world, delivered a
lecture in which he showed that the
car was a melancholy idiot, "the east
est possible tool in the hands of Al
acquaintance" King Edwards bust
shows general degeneracy. a mediocre
mind, incapable of understanding alb
stract questions. The kaiser and the
sultan, he said, were irresponsible, be-
cause born between irretrievable GRIM
inals. If they had been born in lower
walks of life, the kaiser would have
been brawler and ended in prison
or on the scaffold; while the sultan
would have been a bank sneak, or
something of that order.
Nearly all the rulers were pronounc-
ed mentally unsound. These conclu-
sions were agreed to by the other no
ted scientists present"
Now, Mr.. Reader, does not the above
jar your Think Pot, and make you
feel like singing Yankee Doodle?"
Then to think that these idiots are
sought in marriage by the female
millionaires of the United States, or
are bought at so much per, by the
sires of these American heiresses!
And what of the progeny of these
couples. It's enough to make Mis-
souri, mule cautiously investigate his
ancestry, il he desires good mule as
sociates. These idiotic crowned heads
are the progency of some morganatic
wife or royal concubine from kingly
harem, as the reader will learn in
European history. Still we are told
that the European nations are civiliz-
ed. So are the Eskimos, Hottentots
and Fiji Islanders. To follow the bus
mess of propagating good horses and
other domestic animals is legitimate
calling; but when fathers and moth
ers sell their daughters to the on
spring of idiots, they deserve to be
execrated by all mankind.
Will some one sing, 20. what shall
the harvest be?"

like and some may not approve some
features of the platform, but this is a
time when we should all get together
to save Tennessee and the democratic
party, for If the republicans win this
time we are gone for good in Tonnes
see. For, example the redistricting
plan of the republicans makes Hamil-
ton cOunty's senator elected from the
counties of Hamilton, James and Ma
riOn, which would elect a republican
every time. One of the representa-
tives is to be elected from Hamilton
and James counties and would be a
republican. 1t is high time the demo-
Gratis were getting together and vot-

CONDEMNED BY GOV. HOOPER.

The Nashville Banner, in detailing
the campaign of Gov. Hooper, report!
him at Gallatin as speaking as follows
1.-THE other day the Tennessean pub
lished card signed by a number o
lawyers living in Rye's judicial cir
cult VINO declared he had a fine recorC
for law enforcement. Most of then
lived in Trenton. OF course, Gen
Rye, as Encouragement, had nollt
pressed a number of cases for these
gentlemen, and will do so as a matter
of course in the near future"
Has it come to pass that Gov, Hoop.
er sees no good in anybody except
those who are for him and evil in those
who are opposed to him? Is he so full
of conceit and so vain that he feels
for him to convict a man is merely
to condemn him?
This card he refers to was a gener-
GUS Endorsement of Mr.. Rye as an eff
ficient officer. The men who signed il
are lawyers in Mr.. Rye's judicial cir
cult. Most of them were independent
democrats.
Every one of these men is better
lawyer and better Tennessean than
is Gov. Hooper.
w. c. Caldwell of Trenton was one
of the signers. He was formerly on
the supreme bench of Tennessee. He
has been for the right and for the
truth regardless of how it affected his
political or personal fortune.
Judge John r. Bond of Brownsville
was another of the signers. Judge
Bond was against liquor and was for
law enforcement and was against ma
chine politics when Hooper was de-
Tending (Which is his right as law
yer) bootleggers in the courts of East
Tennessee.
Sid Clarke is a lawyer of reputation
and a man of character The card
was also signed by Mann Wills and
VIM. Kinney of Brownsville. 1t is I'M
necessary to put in print in West Ten
nessee who Mann Wills is. No man
stands higher in his community. He
has done more for law enforcement
than Governor Hooper has done.
William Kinney was a speaker in
the senate in 1909, and practically
forced the passage of the present state
wide four mile law.
The intimation that the signers
were men Influenced by the mere de-
sire for court favor is not an insult
to Caldwell and these other gentle
men. Gov. Hooper could not insult
them. The statement is unworthy Of
the governor of Tennessee, and Cav.
Hooper should apologize for making.
