The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1916-09-22

Memphis, Representative in Con
gress from the Tenth District Of
Tennessee, and Democratic nominee
to succeed Hon. Luke Lea in the
Senate Of the United States, opened
his campaign at Gallatin last Sat.
urday, that place being the point al
which Mr.. McKellar make his open
ing speech about a year ago when
he entered the lists as a canidate
for the Democratic Senatorial nom-
ination.
Mr.. McKellar's speech was strict
ly a Democratic one in which he re-
counted the accomplishments of the
Democratic party since it came into
power under the peerless Woodrow
Wilson as President of the United
States four years ago next March.
Mr.. McKellar recounted with pride,
as all Democrats now do, the many
measures passed by the Democratic
Senate and House and approved by
the Democratic President, all Of
which legislation was enacted in
the interest of the common people
and none of which were dictated
by the special interests which al
ways have and always will rule. the
Republican party.
Boiled down, the following is the
Democratic legislation recounted by
Mr. McKellar, upon which he am
plified in the body of his speech:
We have provided for the elec-
ton of United States senators by
the people.
We have passed an income tax
law by which wealth is made to
bear its just proportions Of the bur-
dens of the government.
We have established Federal re-
seserve banks, which, in my judg-
ment have done more to bring
abont the present prosperous con-
dition Of this country than, perhaps
all other factors combined.
We have established the Clayton
antitrust law, by which peace was
brought to business. Before the
passage of this law business men
did not know what the law was.
and sought to evade the law. But
now they know what the law is and
obey it.
We have passed a law providing
for a Faderal trades commission to
prevent unfair competition in busi-
ness and unjust trade practices.
We have passed rural credits
law in order to lend farmers money
on their farms at low rates of in
terest so they can better their con-
dition.
We have enacted good roads
measure, providing for Federal aid
to roads in the various states, so
that our country may be built up.
We have passed an eight-hour
law for the laboring man. We have
passed more legislation for the bet
terment of labor conditions than
any former administration.
We have passed the parcels post
law for the benefit of the people Of
the whole country.
We have extended the rural free
delivery to all parts of the country.
We have federalized the national
guard and given it its proper place
as a defense of our country.
We have passed the reoreoniza-
ton Of the army bill. by which our
army is made efficient for the pro-
lection of the American people in
the event of trouble. We have
largely added to this army and pro-
vided for a system of reserves
which will give us ample protection
should trouble arise, but which de-
Tense system will never lead to
militariSm.
We have enlarged our navy, 50
that it is easily second among the
navies Of the world to-day, and we
are going to make it first. 1t is our
best means of defense. Conditions
