HAMS SOLICITUDE.

Ham Patterson is very DESTROYS
that Mr.. Mcclellan should declare
himself on the prohibition issue. The
ex-governor is very, very solicitous
about the liquor question. Having
solemnly constituted himself the one
and only guardian, true and tried, for
prohibition in the state, he is very
much concerned lest the cause should
suffer reverse in the election of Nc.
KellarF OF course Ham is not a bit
worried about his own political saliva
ton, he is just running this time to
save prohibition. II that issue has no
better foundation in Tennessee than
M R. Patterson it is already destin-
ed to perish from the face of the
earth.
Patterson is brazen in his effront-
cry if he is anything. His gall and
self assurance have long been mistak-
en- for courage and ability, but the
people of Tennessee have about taken
his true measure. They know that no
more selfish politician ever disgrace
ed the state than Patterson. He new
er made a speech for his party save
when he was a candidate. He never
attended its state conventions until
he wanted to be governor He never
espoused prohibition except at SO
much per speech. The people of this
state know that Patterson's new
found zeal for the cause has a dark
and sinister purpose behind it. He is
for prohibition because he believes
that prohibition will advance his po-
litical interests. No other route is
open to him.
So far as this paper is concerned it
is perfectly willing to compare re.
cords on prohibition or any other is.
sue between NJ. r. Patterson and K
D. Mcclellan 1t will risk the issue
upon their private walks in life; it
will leave the whole question to their
disinterested public service or it will
let the die be cast according to their
services for temperance From no
angle can Patterson be favorably
compared to Mcclellan. The latter
may have voted against one temper
ance measure, but Patterson for more
than fifty years was the bitter and
implacable foe OF every measure for
temperance or to promote better
and cleaner living.

States and he is yet a young man.
He has aroused no bitterness; open
ed no wounds; created no strife. He
has made his race upon his merits.
He has won the confidence and
votes of more than 10000 democrats.
Let us have peace The election
Of Mcclellan and the elimination of
Patterson will bring a cessation of
hostilities Can any patriot look
upon our distracted conditions in
Tennessee and deny the need for
peace"
There is and can be no other issue
in Tennessee in this campaign. The
effort of the man who did more than
any other to defeat temperance re-
form, to make question that was
settled and settled right when the
democratic party adopted its last
state platform, to bring about a
division upon old lines for selfish
agrandisement deserves and will re.
ceive little consideration from intel,
lgent democrats There is now no
division among the people or the
democrats of Tennessee upon the
temperance issue. 1t will be safe
no matter what the result of the
primary may be, But that result
can bring peace and harmony to tn
democratic party; progress and bet.
ter feeling to the people of Tennes-
see.
Surely, in the name of all that
Tennesseans love and venerate, it is
worthy the effort.
Let us have peace,

KENNETH D. MCCLELLAN.

Writing in his paper the Hatties-
burg, Miss, News, Frank D. Lander,
formerly of this county, comments as
follows on the senatorial primary:
In Saturdays Democratic sena-
torial primary in Tennessee, the un-
speakable Patterson was beaten. He
will be in the run-off with Kenneth
Mcclellan, the Memphis congressman,
if he does not fly the track; but he
had as well fly the track, because the
thirty-odd thousand good men and
true who voted for Senator Lea will
turn to Mcclellan almost to the man,
to help save the state from the
odium, the shame. humiliation and
disgrace Of Pattersonism. Senator
Lea, who went down in defeat de-
served better fate He is a young
man of clean life, marked ability
and wonderful resource as an or
ganizer and doer Of things. He per-
haps owes his defeat to the bitter
antagonism between himself and
Patterson. and the idea which seems
to have prevailed that Mcclellan was
the stronger man to pit against Pat.

ranks. No good purpose could be
served by a joint canvass of Ten

personal one, between Patterson and
Mcclellan. They both pretend to
stand upon the same platform A
debate would necessarily be bitter
and intensely personal.

OF AN AMERICAN MILL
TARY EXPERT.

An American military expert suggests that
''the infantryman of the future may be man
with machine gun, a lot of hand grenades and a
short bladed sword, like that carried by the
ancient Roman soldiers" Il doesn't seem a very
fanciful picture either, to anybody who carefully
follows the shifting tactics of war. The rifle has
lost its prestige. II is no longer the indispens-
able weapon of the infantryman. Il isn't always
effective even in a charge, for we read nowadays
of soldiers leaving their guns behind them in the
trenches and charging only with hand grenades.
II is of little for defense, for one machine gun
is worth as much in repeng an attack as a hun
dred rifles. The bayonet hasn't lost its useful
ness, but even that is being replaced. in the
French army, by knife or shortbladed sword.
The machine gun is coming TO be the arm of the
infantry. The Germans, who have made best
use of it, have perfected type small and light
that one man can carry IL on his back and can
operate IL alone when he sets il down. II the
tendency is carried TO its logical completion, and
every soldier is armed with a machine gun in
stead of rifle, what chance will any man have
for his life against any other man? Imagine
every citizen in Eastern Utah hunting his neigh
Dor with a gatling gun, with dynamite shells
bursting all around. That's what war seems TO
be coming TO.
