No Alarmist-But Uphold Arms
of President

81 would not have you look on me as
an alarmist, but I would not be true 70
myself or worthy OF the honor sought
at your hands If ! did not say 10 you
that In my opinion this war, into which
we were dragged by a military despot-
ism mad with the lust OF conquest, mas
only begun.
at is my deliberate Judgment that
no other nation has ever done more IN
the same length OF time than has been
done by this country within the past ten
months TO protect itself from a power
full. ruthless and constituencies enemy.
IL may be true that some mistakes have
been made, but let us remember that
such is the history Of self-governing
people idealizing peace and unprepareo
FOR and ahhorrsng war; and because we
have not yet reached that aptitude Tor
and efficiency in preparedness and equip
ment, for war, attained by the enemy
after a half a century OF cunning,
treacherous and persistent preparation
for world conquest. we must not grow
oyer-critical, or feel discouraged be-
cause of conditions. nor hamper or dis
courage our great leader by captious
doubts OF querulous complaints. but
stand ready 70 uphold his arms. stead
fast in faith that his patriotism, wisdom
and far-reaching statesmanshfp VIII
lead through the shadows and dangers
now besetting us into the sunshine ana
security OF ultimate victory

Must Be NO Interference from
Federal Officials

Now a word more. There Is
much evidence and no little COM
plant that certain federal Office
holders are showing great activity
in all matters political in this state.
Let me say that while every DEM
ocrat has the right to vote for
whomsoever he chooses--that Is the
very essence of democracy-yet no
holder of these offices is commits
stoned or has the right to use what
ever Of influence may inhere In
such office, be 1t great or small, for
the benefit of any candidates; nor
does he have the right to control or
dictate nominations to offices or
high or low degree. And IL the
power of federal patronage and offi-
Gals be attempted to be used TO IN
fiuence the democracy of Tennessee
in their free choice of a senator, no
doubt ways can be found to protect
such officials from the folly OF their
indiscreet violation of federal laws
and from such embezzlement OF offi-
cial power.
