NO PREFERMENT DESIRED
AT RISK TO COUNTRY

"And having fullest confidence in the
singlensss Of purpose, the wisdom and
patriotism Of our president, let me say to
you frankly that II In his opinion the
reelection Of the senior senator In de-
manded by reasons Of state unknown to
me-or II his administration will be EN-
barrassed by opposition 20 the senator
then and Immediately upon becoming so
advised I shall yield 20 the patriotic
Judgment of our great chief and en-
deavor 10 do my bit in some other field
Of endeavor, 10 the best Of my ability.
1T is my desire to put this matter be-
yond question: do not want, / would
not take, preferment at even the posi-
bility of risk to the best interests Of my
country and my party But until our
great chief executive speaks, ] respect
fully submit to you that no one else Is
commissioned 20 speak for him, or to
say that the reelection Of the senior
senator is essential to the plans Of his
administration or the public good, or
that opposition to him will embarrass
this wartime administration.
Therefore seeing no reason OF state
why | should not seek, and nothing OF
embarrassment 10 our party, or our
government In seeking your suftrages
you will permit me at this time TO BRIEF
lv outline my views in respect Of some
of the great questions involving public
interests.

Protect Our Boys in France from
Enemy in Their Rear

"The frontiers of our country's secur-
ity are today along the battle lines in
France. There the young manhood Of
this nation-our bravest and best-will
grapple, yea, are graphing, with the
barbarous and brutal Hun that their
mothers and wives and sisters may live
secure and in honor at home-that their
fair land may not be ravaged as has
been unhappy Belgium; that American
democracy may not be enslaved to pay
the price Of world conquest by German
autocraey, and that government of the
people, for the people and by the people
may not perish, but live, not only for
their own security and happiness, but
also to point the way to freedom and
security for the oppressed of all climes.
And while the young men of our
country are battling in far lands and on
distant seas, let us stand ready for fur
Their sacrifices to give, and give, and
give all that may be necessary to their
support and comfort, and let us see to II
that neither their fighting efficiency nor
their comfort is endangered by the plots
of alien enemies behind them in their
own land, for we have cause TO know
that in each alien enemy or his protect
or and sympathizer there may be peril
to our homes, to our sons on the battle
fronts in France and to those keeping
ceaseless vigil on the seas. Recent de-
velopments and disclosures by our gov
eminent in relation to the machina-
tions of Huns and their protectors living
by thousands in this country should
teach us to guard well against the alien
enemy within our gates, who holds no
faith in common with humanity, who is
bound by no compact, however sacred:
who processes friendship and practices
deceit and treachery. and who in the
name of his kultur would fill the world
with rapine and bestlality and murder
in their most horrid forms.

No Alarmist But Uphold Arms
of President

IL would not have you look on me as
an alarmist but / would not be true TO
myself or worthy of the honor sought
at your hands IL / did not say to you
that in my opinion this war, into which
we were dragged by a military despotism
mad with the lust OF conquest, has only
begun.
1T 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 governing
people idealizing peace and unprepared
for and abhorring war: and because we
have not yet reached that aptitude for
and efficiency in preparedness and equip
ment for war. attained by the enemy
after a half century OF cunning, treach-
erous and persistent preparation for
world conquest, we must not grow over
critical. or feel discouraged because OF
conditions. nor hamper or discourage
our great leader by captious doubts or
querulous complaints. but stand ready
70 uphold his arms, steadfast in faith
that his patriotism. wisdom and far
reaching craftsmanship will lead through
the shadows and dangers now besetting
US into the sunshine and security OF
ultimate victory.

the senate Of the United States, vote for
any measure designed or the effect of
which will be TO shorten the arm of the
president or weaken his just influence or
deprive him OF his constitutional powers
ana functions as the chief executive of
this government.
such an attempt was made in the SEN
ate OF the United States in July, 1917,
when an amendment to the food control
bill was adopted by q vote Of SO to 81,
providing for committee of congress
to supervise the executive functions of
the president in the conduct Of the war,
and in effect to control his actions as
chief executive. Every vote in the neg
alive was that of democrat. The fifty
three affirmative votes comprised the
entire republican membership of the
senate voting on that amendment and a
Few democrats, including the present
senior senator from Tennessee. That
this amendment did not become part Of
the law was due to the efforts of ad-
ministration leaders in both branches of
congress, who in conference ripped the
amendment from the bill, following the
presidents protest against it.
'InS respect to this effort to shorten
his arm and diminish his Just constitu-
tional powers the president, in a letter
written to Congressman Lever-for pub
lication-among other things, mildly
said:
The constant supervision of execu-
tive action which the proposed commit
tee contemplated would amount to moth
ing less than an assumption, on the
part Of the legislative body, of the ex-
ecuttve work Of the administration
During these times pregnant with the
rate of democracy, while many arms are
needed, these must be only one direct
ing, responsible head-one chief execu-
tive, Woodrow Wilson.

Water Power Should Be
Conserved

believing that the last great natural
resource belonging to and remaining
within the control of the people of this
country to-wit: the public waters, and
the power capable of development there
from, should be conserved for the public,
am utterly opposed to any scheme or
plan designed or the effect of which will
be 10 deprive the people of full control
over that water power or to turn ii over
20 private monopoly TO be exploited for
profit at the expense of the people of
this country.
I'm this connection ii is not improper
to observe that If our forefathers could
have dipped into the future and If. in
grants of the public domain, state and
national. they had reserved to the peo-
pie all mineral interests therein. the
royalties, emitting precious minerals,
from coal and iron and zinc and copper
and marble and oil would now go long
this government
Full control over. fair provisions for
retaking and a royalty upon each horse
power or developed power or energy
should be Incorporated in any plan pro-
viding for the development or exploita-
ton of the public waters Of the United
States by private capital. Therefore,
shall favor ony such measures having to
do with grants or licenses touching the
development of the waterpower of this
country as will retain full control there
over in the interests of the general pub
lie provide for retaking on fair terms
and permh the use and appropriation of
such waterpower only upon the payment
Of a fair royalty upon the electrical ener-
gy or power developed therefrom.
1T shall be my purpose TO demon
strate that one of the waterpower
bills pending in congress at this
inc nd rstHgak awF,f0fsaa IN This
as bearing the name OF the senior
senator does not properly safeguard
the interests Of the public, and in my
opinion, would result in utterly de-
priving the people Of their water
power and in vesting practically per-
petual control thereof in private mo-
nopoly-withOut profit to the people

No Offices to Allure, but Submits
Candidacy on Its Merits

"And now, with neither Offices TO
dangle before the worthy, ambitious ana
aspiring or to allure their support, nor q
machine TO override and overawe opposi-
ton, I submit my candidacy upon its
merits to the democracy Of Tennessee,
promising when elected not TO become
an office broker pedd1er In patronage
but TO give not q =oant half, but I'M
renting time and the best that II in
me to the service OF our state and TO
the duties Of the high office TO which
aspire.
"And, while / may not hope to equal
the splendid achievements of Grundy, or
Bell, or Harris, or Bate, or Carmack and
that long line of senators who have re-
iected honor on our commonwealth and
have emblazoned her history upon the
brightest pages of the republic. yet by
emulating these great exemplars In loyal
and If need be, self-sacrifcing devotion
and service to their country, Ii Is my
hope to make such a record for you and
in your name as shall justify your con-
fdence and support.
CHARLES T. Gates, JR."

Must Be No Interference from
Federal Officials

NOW a word more. There Is
much evidence and no little COM
plant that certain federal office-hold-
ers are showing great activity in all
matters political in this state. Let
me say that while every democrat
has the right to vote for whomso-
ever he chooses--that is the very
essence of democracy-yet no holder
of these offices is commissioned or
has the right TO use whatever of in
fluence may inhere In such office, be
IL great or small. for the benefit of
any candidate; nor does he have the
right to control or dictate nomina-
tons to offices of high or low de-
gree. And II the power Of federal
patronage and officials be attempted
to be used to influence 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 viola
ton of federal laws and from such
embezzlement of official power.
