candidacy is subject to the will of the
party to be expressed in the several
county conventions on Feb. 4th and
the general convention to be held at
South Pittsburg on Feb 18th.
In this county, Mr. Stewart needs
no word of COMMUNICATION at our hands
be is we'll known to almost every
man, woman and child in the county,
aud all the people irrespective of par
ty are his friends and hold him in the
high esteem. There was never more
popular man in Sequatchie county
than Lawrence" Stewart and it gives
US pleasure to place his name before
the people for support
Mr.. Stewart is we'll qualified for
the place be seeks. He has had ex-
perieuce in the clerk and masters Of
fee and in his law practice that
qualities him exceptionally well for
chancellor. He is a good, all round
lawyer and has the personality that
goes to the making of the successful
man.
We besueak for Mr.. Stewart and his
candidacy the earnest consideration of
Sequatchie voters. Tribune, Dunlap.
The announcement of Hon. 7. L.
Stewart, of Winchester, candidate for
the Office of Chancellor Of this the
twelfth chancery division of Tennes-
see. appears in our announcement col"
umn this week. Mr.. Stewart is so
we'll and favorablv known throughout
the entire Sequachee valley that the
Hustler feels that it would be space
wasted should we set out to inform
the people of his virtues and clever
qualifications for the high place he is
seeking. Every voter from the cement
busted station at Richard City to the
fertile fields of Bledsoe knows Law
renee Stewart. He is as popular in
his old home county Of Sequachee as
any other man. and we venture the
assertion that no act of his could be
resurrected that would stain in the
smallest degree his enviable character
or lessen his worth as real man.
II was the pleasure of the writer to
meet Mr.. Stewart twelve years ago in
the town of Dunlap He was teaching
large Sunday school class, bis father
was pastor and we thought that. coup
led with the unmistakable fact that
they were all democrats, was a pretty
good line up.
Mr.. Stewart explains that owing to
the very close relationship existing
between JudgeMercer and himself that
be did or had not felt inclined to OPP
pose him in this race. Judge Mercer
and Mr.. Stewart were very closely as
ISOLATED years ago in Bledsoe county,
the former being circuit judge and
the latter clerk and master. Mr..
remembers the retiring chan
cellor as one of his closest friends and
advisors of other days, and for this
reason he declined the idea Of entering
the race so long as there was any like
lihood Of bis remaining in the race for
reelection.
Upon the retiring from the race of
Judge Mercer, Mr.. Stewart was
shower ed with kilograms urging that
he announce himself q candidate for
the high honors. He did 80 immedi-
ately and is now making a canvas Of
tho district. He is asking considera.
tion at the hands of the voters. SO.

Of these gentlemen would fill the posi-

that Bledsoe county should cast her
