GARRETT AND SEN
TER AT UN|ONC|TY
Packed House Greets Congressional Candidates,
And Garrett Carries off the HOROTs.
OId-Time Victory Promised.

The first OF a series of Joint
debates between Representative
Garrett and his opponent, Jas. D.
Senter, occurred at Union City
last Saturday, in the Reynolds
opera house. Hon. Sid Waddell
presided over the meeting and
Fitz ]. Smith introduced the
speakers. Mr.. Senter opened the
discussion, talking for forty min
utes, followed by Garrett in an
hour address, during which he
gave an account Of his steward
ship as a member OF congress
from the Ninth Tennessee dis
trict.
There are but two issues be-
tween the gentlemen. First and
foremost, Mr.. Garrett has the
place and Mr.. Senter wants it,
judging from the line Of Senter's
argument, more for the salary
attachment than any good he may
hope to accomplish in behalf Of
his constituency, since Senter
had a great deal to say about the
money the office has paid, The
other is the road question, or,
rather, CARROTS vote upon the
Shackleford bill, which recently
became a law. Mr.. Senter severe
ly criticised the congressman for
voting against the measure,
which he did2not explain.
y In his reply Mr.. Garrett ex-
planned in detail just what this
bill is and why he voted against
At. The bill appropriates the sum
of $4,000, 900 per annum for post
roads throughout the United
States, out of which the secretary
of agriculture first sets aside the
sum he deems necessary for ex-
penses for operation from his
office. This leaves the sum OF
$694,000 for Tennessee. But be-
fore the state can get this she
must raise an equal amount (by
taxation, of course Since the
people are already paying a tax
Mr.. Garrett, having thoroughly
analysed the bill, which his OPP
ponent hadsnever done, he voted
against the bill. II the state does
not come across with her part
then the 1854, 900 goes to another
state. Mr.. Carrot called attention
to the very recent vote in Obion
county overwhelmingly defeating-
bond issue for road purposes,
saying that under the present
state laws any county or any civil
district may issue bonds for
road purposes, but that only
few had done so, the great masses
Of the people being opposed to
increased taxation. Mr., Garrett
informed his opponent that he
was not running for the legis-
lature, but for congress. He took
up Senter's record as legislator,
showing that Senter had voted
against every prohibition measure
presented while in the legis-
lature. He also showed that
Senter was one OF the thirteen
who first left Tennessee in 1909
to break a quorum to defeat the
election bill. This bill meant to
give to Tennessee an honest
election law. Senter opposed it
and left the state, going to
HoBkinsvile, to prevent its pas
ssge. Warrants were issued for
lbis arrest and return to the state.
The discussion brought out in
bold relief the fact that Senter is
is no match for Garrett on the
stump, and the former no doubt
wished after the speaking that he
had remained in Hopkinsville
instead Of coming here and trying
to run for congress.
1t was the almost unanimous
