OF
The CONVENTION

The fear has been suggested that,
oven If the election for the Convention
Is carried, the purpose OF holding the
Convention will miscarry through the
unwillingness of the best citizens OF
the State to offer themselves as dele
gates, and that the politicians and
special interests would control its de-
liberations. This fear is groundless.
The selection of the delegates Il
something the people. not the politi-
clans, will control. The influential
men of each county viii see that one
of its most prominent men, of ability
and integrity, will consent to become
delegate. And he will be elected In
those counties entitled to several del.
egates, the same precaution must bs
taken as to every delegate. A Con-
vention made up Of such men will DO
absolutely beyond the reach OF any
politician. special interest or any sins
lister influence.
There Is not man In Tennessee,
no matter at what personal sacrifice,
who will decline to be delegate II
unsolicited the honor Is conferred on
him by his fellow-citizens. And It IL
the busy man, the prominent man. the
man who will go at such a sacrifice,
who should be selected as delegate,
for 1t is he who will give his labor to
his State for the public good without
thought of personal gain.
A prominent and patriarchial citi.
zen of rural county was approached
recently by his fellow-townsmen and
asked II he would stand for election
as delegate. He replied that his
people had been good to him. that
they had offered him many political
offices, all of which he had declined,
but that Fhis honor he would accept,
as he considered 1t not an office. but
an opportunity to serve his State. And
such will be the attitude of all good
men who are asked to become candi.
dates, If their selection Is kept free
from politics.
1t has been the history Of such Con,
ventions in Tennessee and other
States that the best men In each com
munity have offered themselves as
delegates In order to serve their State
In matter Of such vital Importance.
These Conventions have uniformly
been composed OF the most prominent
men and the most brilliant minds In
the State-men so big that they sub.
ordinate absolutely partisan politics 70
the good of the State
Tennessee will send her best men
as delegates, and under such circum-
stances the people need have little
fear of the changes which may be sug.
gested by such body. Good men win
suggest only good laws. And remem.
Der, there is the additional safeguard
that the people. by their votes, viii
have the final say on the adoption Of
avery amendment suggested

ZACHRY SAYS WIFE
SINGS ALL THE TIME
She's as Bright and Happy as
a lo-Year-Old Girl. and Has
Gained 10 Pounds" Says Dairy
Farmer.

My wife goes about the house now
singing and whistling all the time,
and no wonder she is so happy, for on
just three bottles of Tanlac she has
gained eighteen (lS) pounds and she
is like different woman altogether"

I'm here to get bottle TO take
myself" he continued, for it's helped
her so much | am sure it will be
fine spring tonic for me to take.
my wife suffered with Indigestion
and stomach trouble for a long time,
and was 10 a general rundown coudi-
ton. She reached the point where
she couldn't hardly sleep at all, and
her appetite went down to almost
nothing. She couldn't take interest
in anything, was very weak and ner-
vous and seemed respondent all the
time. She lost a good deal in weight
and her strength was all getting
away from her.
This is the very shape she was in
when she began taking Tanlac. She
has now taken three bottles of the
medicine and the indigestion has been
relieved entirely. She hasn't a pain
about her and feels fine in every way.
She has been gaining weight and
strength ever since she took her first
few doses, and weighs eighteen (l8)
pounds more today than she did tie
day she began taking Tanlac. She
has the biggest kind Of an appetite
and eats meats, hot biscuits and any
thing else she wants and everything
agrees with her perfectly. She is no
longer nervous nor dizzy and sleeps
like baby. She goes about her
homework as happy as a sixteen
year-old girl and smiles all the time.
Il have one hundred cows to look
after and my wife is helping me more
with my work than she ever has in
her life. Tanlac just seems to have
filed her with new life, strength and
energy, and you don't know how hap
py we are over her recovery. It's
just marvellous the way it has acted
with her, and if anybody wants to
know what we think about Tanlac
