Austin Secured Double Pay
For Soldiers and Sailors
o.
Congressman LittIeS Tribute
To Austin

the following extract is taken from a
speech of Representative Little, of
Kansas, in the House of Representa-
tives:
"The soldiers of the Republic who
go to carry the American flag over
the German trenches owe a debt of
gratitude to the Hon. Richard w.
Austin, of Tennessee, that time can
not stale nor custom wither in a
thousand years. He brought in the
amendment here that gave them a
pay that no soldiers in the world ever
received before. His name will
shine luminous in the dark watches
of the night over the American camps
for a'century, while these great lead
ers', with records as yet unmade, and
these expert statesmen, with their
pruning knives, who seek to snatch
from the fighting mans fingers DICK
AUSTIN'S magnificent gift, are un.
wept, unhonored, and unsung."

Candidate For Justice OF The Peace
City at Large

I hereby announce my candidacy for
Justice of the Peace for the City of Knox
vile at Large. If reelected, will not
open an Office, feeling that already there
are sufficient acting justices without
opening another Office.
l was elected to fill out the unexpired
+. term of the late Esq. Vim. A. Knabe in
1914, and since that date have represented
the taxpayers Of the city at the meetings
of the Quarterly Court and as member
of the Finance Committee, and feel that
can be of service to the taxpayersif re-
elected to a second term.
The time is entirely too short to can
vass the voters Of the Great City of Knox
vile and will rely only upon newspaper
advertising to announce my candidacy,
and the voters are hereby requested to in
vestigate my past official record and if
said investigation warrants reelection
your support will be greatly appreciated
Very truly,

There is a clarion call for men OF 10y

we must move as one united people,

the path of duty, and our mistakes are
looking us square in the face.
We need legislation to make things

HON. AUSTIN PEAY, GAINESVILLE, TENN.
Candidate For The Democratic Nomination For
Governor OF Tennessee.

Governor on account of laudable
ambition, yet we are aware of the
fact that he is making a great sac
rifice in his private affairs, and that
he is in no sense expecting personal
gain.
Mr.. Peay is lawyer of splendid
ability, and an able counsellor. His
success before the courts is recog-
nized throughout the state While
engaged in the practice of his profess
sion he has successfully directed
many large and varied enterprises,
thus enabling him to become thor
oughly familiar with the needs of the
business interests of the State. He
has been eminently successful in the
management of his own affairs, as
we'll as those of his clients, and we
sincerely believe that no man in
Tennessee is better qualified to give
the people safe and businesslike fl
financial administration. The expe-
rience he has had in public and pri-
vate life has enabled him to demon
strate his executive ability, and the
correctness of his superior judgment.
Mr.. Peay possesses traits of char
acter which splendidly qualify him
| for the high office to which he
aspires. We are sure that he will al
ways courageously champion the
lcause of democracy as applied to the
administration Of the business of our
commonwealth. We feel that this is
trnIxa gAse where the office needs
- .,,=s.s s..ssaorag than the man need.
hy office.
He has been LIFELONG democrat OF
| the old school, loyal to his party, and
true to his friends. His clear anc
forceful statement of his candidacy
expresses most ably the issues before
the people and shows that he has
thoroughly informed himself of the
conditions that he will have to meet
as Governor Of Tennessee.
| Our many years association with
him in public and private life JUST
flies our heartiest endorsement of his
candidacy, and we earnestly com
mend him to the voters of the State
as a man of courage, of honor, ant
integrity, in every way reliable anC
fully capable to give Tennessee +;
successful business administration.
The above endorsement was unan
imously adopted by the Chamber Of
Commerce Of GAINESVILLE, Tenn.

Hon. Austin Peay, of GAINESVILLE,
Tenn, who is seeking the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Tonnes
see, is one of the best known and
we'll qualified men that we have in
public life in this State.
For the past twenty years he has
taken an active part in the great and
momentous questions that have been
under consideration in connection
with the welfare and advancement of
our great commonwealth.
He has served several terms in
the General Assembly, and has filled
many of the most important positions
in that august body, always work
ing earnestly and faithfully for the
general welfare, and the upbuilding
of the interests Of Tennessee and the
great institutions that are under the
charge Of the State.
He is man who attracts tha re-
spect and admiration of all citizens
who are fortunate enough to know
him, and those who are thus favored
will without exception see the truth
and consistency in the following
statement issued by his neighbors
and business associates of his home
city, with whom he has mixed and
mingled for the last twenty years.

Mr. Taylor says he has barely
enough money to pay the expenses Of
his campaign. He says he has received
no money from outside sources. He
swore he had no money on deposit in
any bank when he returned his prop
erty for taxation. Those acquainted
with him know he has earned no such
sum of money. Yet he had in his pos
session bank deposit certificates for
$4,000 shortly before he entered this
race and shortly after the close of the
state campaign of 1915. The one ques-
ton in the minds of every one u.s.,
Where did he get this money? The
