great Indignation. If there ever was

Only a few days ago another similar

a lynching occurred. The Herald
does not say that there would have

that we had mobs, all too many OF

regretted that President Wilson, when
ne sent the United States forces to
Vera Cruz two years ago, did not nm

frankly confeses that it has never

with Mexico. His stand in European
affairs has been admirable; his
nolicy consistent but it is to be re-

During the period that he has been

OPPOSITION TO RYE.

Desperate EFFORTS are DelnS mdue w
disgruntled politicians, disappointed
offce-seekers, the remnants OF the old
uuuor machine and the CrumptHowss
influence to bring out candidate IN
opposition to Gov. Rye. There are q
number of gentlemen who would like
to defeat the governor, but so far they
have not had the nerve" to openly
declare war upon him. They are
afraid of the result and we'll they may
be. There is little question about the
governors strength among the demo-
eratic masses of Tennessee. He can
defeat any democrat in the state for
a denomination, and he will be elected
too, despite the dire predictions made
by his enemies, who would be only
too glad to coalese with the liquor
republicans to accomplish that result.
There is one danger however, that
the friends of the governor the sup
porters of low enforcement and good
government in Tennessee, should not
overlook. The state convention must be
made up alone of delegates who will
vote for the denomination of Gov Rye,
because they are for him and not SIM
sply because they cannot beat him. 1t
must be composed of delegates who
intellectually desire his renomina-
tion and reelection, and who will vote
for him because they wish him and
the cause for which he stands album
dant success. He must not be ham
strung" with wobbly or evasive
nlatform. Already plans are being
laid by the crowd that Is too cowardly
ITO fight Gov. Rye in the open to place
chin upon a platform that will prove
"a loadstone in the campaign. These
schemes should be nipped in the bud
now. The true friends of law en-

and those of Tennessee had always
stood as the Maury county democra-
tic committee stood on Monday
there would never have been any fac
tional fight within the ranks of that
party in Tennessee. Indeed and in
truth the democratic party of this
county has taken high ground upon
existing issues. The plan which it
provided for the election of delegates
to the state convention is the very es-
sence of democracy The Herald makes
bold to declare that so long as the
democratic party is directed by its
governing body along the lines that
characterized the committee here it
will not have any internal dissentions
over questions of party management.
There may be serious differences
upon questions of policy, but FORUM
ately these matters are more easily
adjusted as a rule, than revolution
airy, arbitrary and undemocratic
usages. 1t was the effort Of a ma
chine to perpetuate itself in power
without regard to the will or wishes
of the democratic masses that caused
the revolt in Tennessee.
1t it's endorsement of Wilson and
Rye the committee voiced the real
sentiments of an overwhelming maj
ority of the democrats of this county.
There is no question about Wilson's
popularity among the democrats of
Maury county. Their are no hyphen-
ates here. They are for America,
first, last and all the time. They
believe in the. maintenance of Ameri-
can rights.
There is likewise no doubt about
the committee having correctly in
terpreted the sentiment of the demo-
cratic voters of the county touching
the administration of Gov. Rye. Es-
pecially upon the question of law en-
forcement Democrats of this coun-
ty, without regard to past factional
differences are with the governor in
his magnificent fight for the vindica.
-tion of the majesty of the law. Their
endorsement of him Is in no respect
perfunctory or half hearted. 1t is
genuine and sincere. They are for
Gov. Rye because he has faithfully
kept his campaign pledges; because
he has used all of the powers Of his
office to vindicate the law.
A most gratifying feature of the
meeting was the fact that it made
plain the complete restoration of
harmony in the ranks of the demo
cracy of the county. Former indie.
pendents and former regulars joined
in acclaiming their fealty to Wilson
and Rye They are agreed upon the
policies for which both have so reso
lutely stood. Now if the democrats
of the county will turn the back OF
their hands to the mischief makers
and the trouble breeders and give
scant consideration to selfish indivi.
duals who would use the party for
private ends we shall have a long
period of peace and harmony in the
democratic party.
