JUDGE EVERETT
ALMOST "BEARDS
LION IN HIS DEN."

Judge S. j. Everett, Of Jackson,
who holds court in Madison and
lew other counties and whose sell
vice on the bench will very soon
expre--for reasons best known to
himSelf--and who has for few
months been passing current as a
Democratic candidate for the Con.
gresSiona nomination, made a
good" speech here last Saturday,
from a forensic standpoint but in
argument Enthusiastically demagoeic.
While the judges command.
ing form lowered toward the
limbs of the trees in Court
Square, as he stood at the side of
of the brick walk near the South
east door of the courthouse, he
builded an oratorical sandwich of
folly and fallacy in which his op.
ponent, had he been present could
have veritably eaten alive" the
the distinguished jurist
AS we 60 to press on this, Thurs
day, the First day of August, the
Democrats of the district are voting
in primary-and up 10 this good
hour since Judge Everett announc-
ed his candidacy, he is himself the
sole man whom we have heard of
expressing the faintest hope OF beat
ing Mr. Sims. The Judge and a
few Of his followers have made the
discovery that Sims has been in
Congress twenty years and has done
but the poor, benightedk
people, who have read the record,
can not see it that way and bien-
nially 90 on walking up to the polls
givingrenewed expressions u
confidence in Mr.. Sims together
with recognition Of the splendid
work done by him in Congress
work appreciated by the President
Of the United States, but the I'M
derstanding of which is denied to
Judge Everett, ct al.
We referred last week to the use-
leSsness of Judge Everetts race for
ongress-and since then its absurd
ity has become even more appar-
ent, for His Honor has the gall to
brand Mr.. Sims war record as rot
ten"-and it may be from the
judges viewpoint but in reality
if the Congressional war work done
by Mr.. Sims is rotton, that of Pres
ident Wilson might just as well be
branded putrid. BAIL The rotten
ness lies in such taIk-in such pre-
sumption of ignorance on the part
Of the people. Judge Everett need
not take unto himself any special
credit for the applause which greet
ed some of his remarks here last
Saturday for a second hand scare
crow, dressed in pants, standing in
opposition to Sims would have
elicited the same.
Ia ia Judge! What the Demo
rats of the district will do for you
oday will be an adequate suaicien.

PEAY SPECIAL
MAKES A VISIT
TO LEXINGTON,

On last Friday the Austin Peay
special train, made up of about 10C
representative business, political
and professional citizens of Mont
gomery and adjoining counties,
made its stop at Lexington between
2and 3 o'clock In the afternoon. The
special was met at the railroad sta.
ton by enough autos to bring to
the public square the visitors and
those who were present to meet
them and in a very few minutes
the entire crowd was in the court
house yard to hear the speeches to
. be made in the interest of Mr.. Peays
candidacy for the gubernatorial
nomination on the Democratic
ticket.
The meeting at the Southeast
door Of the courthouse was opened
sby CoE.H, E, Graper and the first
speaker was LawyekSid. c. Lewis,
of Dover, who was at once. voted to
behearly as ugly as our former

almost as good a speaker. The

heaped encohiums on the honesty
and capability Of Nh Peay-a
did not putson his gloves when he.
went after Judge Roberts. The;
special aggregation was a splendid
bunch ofMiddle Tennesseans and in
its. personnel were many men who
are well and favorably known all
over the State. There was. Judge
Cook, of Charlotte; Judges Gholson
M Steata of Glarksv;lles .fSage
Peck, Of Springfield; Sterling Fort
and c. W. Bailey, Clarksyille bank
ers; several pastors of Clarksville
churches, lawyers Of the Clarksville
and adjacent county bars, wholesale
business men, retailers, farmers-in
fact, about all occupations were rep
resented and all Of them swore by
Peay. Last but not least in the list
of the men we knew, were Profess
sor Harmed, President of the State
Board of Education and C. B. AL
britton, a Clarksville printer.
Taken all together, the visitation
of the Peay special to Lexington
wa regarded as a success by the
gentlemen who made up its person
mel and the Peay supporters here.
We can say on this election day,
that while we have believed Rob-
erts would carry this county, Mr..
Peay has gained lately and the final
result will have to be shown by the
official count.

And now by threatening to hinder our war work
they have actually forced Woodrow Wilson to back down!
Wilson has always said that il woman suffrage comes
