Mr. Lay followed and rejected the proposition saying
improbable Mr. Bird declined saying he would let the people
determine it. Mr. Rose spoke last saying he would the
proposition Mr. Lay has offered to leave to board Of Polite
whether he Mr. Cao should the from Knos
County when Mr. Catron offered Williamsburg and before
thousand people to let board of real lawyers and
Circuit Judge of unquesoned legal ability hold examination

inducements TO run Tor County
Attorney.
Even Little Crit's friends ad-
NIT that Rose ruined him when,
before a crowded court house full
of voters, he challenged HIM to
show that he has some small
qualification for the Office and
offered to quit the track if he
would do it.
People are saying: We'll,
poor little Crit! If Rose could
mommock himup like that the
first time he got a chance, what
will Little Crit look like when
the campaign is over?"
Any man who has seen a kind
hearted teacher call up a stupid
and naughty scholar to recite his
lesson and has found that that
scholar didn't know any part of
his lesson. and has then taken
that scholar kindly across his
knees and padded him thor
oughly, while'the scholar howled
and the rest of the school laugh
ed, can have an idea of how Rose
handled Little Crit.
The net result of the speaking
has been great rise in Roses
stock and an equally great drop
in Little Crit's.
For the people had a chance to
see the two men together and to
see the high qualification of Rose
and the utter, admitted and self
confessed lack of qualification of
Little Crit.
And the further the campaign
goes the worse it will get for
Little Crit, as the voters have
other opportunities to see the two
men meet on the stump, if they
ever do meet on the stump again,
which we doubt.
For we greatly doubt if Little
Crit's friends and managers will
ever give Rose another chance to
run their pet through the thresh-
ing mill again like he did Mon
day.
The probability is that Little
Crit will take his little doll rags
and 60 off by himself to do his
speaking. so that that rude and
cruel buzz saw, Rich Rose, can't
get at him.

knowledge OF the duties OF Cir
cult Judge and our knowledge of
Law questions which the Circuit
Judge must pass on and settle.
Let it be a. written examination.
Let these lawyers take our writ
ten answer to these questions
and grade us on them as an ex-
aiming board grades applicants
for County School certificates.
Let the man who gets the high
est grade remain on the track
and let the other three quit. We
candidates will pay the. cost of
this examination and the people
will thus find out without ex-
pense to them which OF US is
best qualified to be their Circuit
Judge"
While Mr.. Catron was making
this proposition R. S. Rose in
terrupted him to say:-'f accept
your proposition with pleasure.
This seemed r. the people an
eminently fair d 9 pn the part
of Mr.. Catron. 1iiere seemed
no reason why it should not be
accepted by all of them.
But R. S. Rose was the only
one who even limited that he
would accept it under any cir
cumstances, which seem ed
strange if each of the others be-
lieve that the people are entitled
to the best Circuit Judge they
can get and that he himself is
the best qualified.
Mr.. Lay objected that the plan
was not practicable but offered
nothing else in its place.
Little Crit. of course, rejected
the whole thing with scorn and
said that he would let the voters
pass on his qualifications on the
fourth of August. Of course no
body expected him to enter into
an examination on law questions
in competition with three law
yers.
No doubt if Mr.. Catron had
proposed that they all be exam
ined as to the price of peanuts,
popcorn and molasses candy, lard,
leather, flour, baled hay, canned
tomatoes, lamp chimneys and
other articles handled by a
wholesale grocery store he would
have accepted the proposition
with a whoop.
And no doubt he would have
gotten the highest grade too.
But to be examined on law ques-
tons in competition with real
lawyers-well, that is different.
/, So Little Crit took to the woods,
and is still at large.
During the course OF his speech
Little Crit undertook to be funny
at the expense of Rose.
! Some friends of Little Crit
ought to follow him into the
deep. thick woods, and when he
has overtaken him he ought to
lead him to the very deepest,
thickest part of the forest where

bdSI MOIludy was tuc LII 81 udy
of Circuit Court,
~ being the first day of the
last term of Circuit Court before
the August primary an unusually
large crowd of our good citizens
were in town.
Our friends who are candi-
dates for the various County
offices seemed to be all on hand
and busy.
In addition Messrs. w. r. Lay
and Fred Catron, from Knox
County, candidates for Circuit
Judge, were on hand and shak-
ing hands with the voters.
Each of the candidates for
each office wanted a chance, of
course, to present himself and
his claims to the assembled voters;
and Judge Tye obligingly adj
journed his court at noon and
told them to go to it.
The candidates for Circuit
Judge were the first to speak,
and Whitley showed her good
manners by allowing the candi-
dates from Knox to speak first.
The first speaker was Hon.
Fred Catron.
Mr.. Catron proceeded at once
!. to enliven the proceedings by
submitting to his opponent for
Circuit Judge the following pro-
position ''The people of this
Judicial District are going to pay
somebody a salery of $4,000. 90 a
year for the next four years to
act as their Circuit Judge. That
is enough to secure the services
of good lawyer-a lawyer fitted
and qualified to do the work of
the office.
Inasmuch as they are going to
pay such a good round salery the
people of this district are entitled
to and have a right to the best
man and the best lawyer they
can get for what they pay.
There may be better lawyers
in the district than either of US
four. But they are not candi-
dates.>
It wcSl6 seem therefore, that
. SoIpeople must select their Cir
cult Judge from among US four.
l. say again that the people are
entitled to the best they can get
for their money. If they are
compelled to select their Circuit
Judge from among us four, they
are entitled to have the best of
us.
| therefore submit this propo-
sition:-Let the present Circuit
Judge, who is a Democrat and
not allied with either of US four,
select A No. l Republican law
yer who lives outside this Dis
trict; or let each one of US select
each an A No. l Republican law
yer who lives outside this Dis
trict; and let these lawyers con-
stitute an examining board to
prepare a list of questions, ex-
anime the four of us as to our

ers, look him in the eyes and
say to him. Little Crit, for the
love of Mike land Dock and Joe
and your other friends) don't try
to be witty.
You may look solemn and wise
and some of the people will new
er know but what you really are
as wise as you look.
If a man really is witty you
can't keep the people from find
ing it out. But if he isn't witty,
he can't ever make the people
believe he is. And your success
depends on making the people
believe that you are. what you
are not and in making them be-
lieve that you are not what you
know you are.
And especially, and for the
love of Heaven and the feelings
of your friends, don't ever, ever
try to be witty with Rich Rose
again. Just see how mangled
and disfgured you are after try
ing it oncev'
Rose spoke last; He first show
ed that Knox County now has
the Congressman, l. Lieutenant
Governor. a Judge of the Court
of Appeals, State Senator and
Representative in the Legisla-
ture, had the Circuit Judge for
ten years, that Whitley has al
ways supported Knox County's
candidates and pleaded that
Whitley is justly and fairly en-
titled to the Circuit Judge this
time.
He accepted again Mr.. Cat
ron's proposition and since Lit
tie Crit refused it and declined
to be examined by a board of
impartial Republican lawyers, he
proceeded to examine Little Crit
himself in the presence Of the
multitude in the Court House.
He said: "Mr. Bird, if you
will tell these people what SUBJ
jects man is examined on
when he seeks to be admitted to
practice law will quit the track
and leave you the only candidate
from Whitley County, which
will insure your election.
Ifyou will give legal defini-
ton of eligibility" l will quit
the track. :.
Ifyou will give a legal defini-
ton of "pleadings" l will quit
the track.
If you will tell these people
what a contract" is and give a
definition of it l will quit the
track.
Mr.. Bird, name some author
of a law book on Contracts.
Mr.. Bird, name some author of
a law book on Pleadings.
Mr.. Bird. name some author
of a law book Except MYSELF on
Criminal Law"
Little Crit made no attempt to
answer any of these questions,
although Roses proposition to
quit the track if he would do so
was open, bold and emphatic.
Here was a fine chance for him
to take Rose out of the race and
assure his own election beyond a
doubt by showing a little of the
qualification" which he says he
keeps concealed on or about his
person.
1t was also a fine opportunity
to show the voters of the Coun-
ty that he really does possess
some slight knowledge 90 law.
Does anybody doubt for a min
ute that he would have jumped
at the chance to answer those
questions if he could?
But all he would say in an
swer to Roses offer to quit the
track IL he would answer any of
