overcome by his avowed interest

enterprises.
Senator Shields is in Washing
ton attending to his business. A
member of the Congress has no
time TO spend campaigning. Any
man of Senator Shields intelli-
gence and experience and infor-
nation regarding the crisis that
is confronting the country real
ICES how lnconsequental his poll
teal fortunes are as compared
with the responsibility he owes
the nation,
1t is for the Democrats of Ten
nessee to determine if Senator
Shields must suffer the conse-
quences of defeat because he
choose to attend to their affairs
and to their affairs and to per-
form his obligation. to the nation
and to civilization rather than to
come to Tennessee to the neglect
of his duty and look after his
personal fortunes.
So far as the result of the
primary for the nomination of a
United States Senator is con-
cerned, the Democrats of Ten
nessee may depend npon Senator
Shields to attend to his part of
the nations business if it shall
cost him his defeat.
We believe that Senator Shields
is entitled to nomination and
reelection. No word of criti-
cism, based upon truth, can be
spoken against any act, any vote
or any speech of Senator Shields
since he has been a member of
the Senate,
His opponent can bring no
charge againat his record. He
cannot say that Senator Shields
has failed in any particular as
the representative of a great
State, whose chief pride is in the
statesmen it has produced.
Every Democrat who is loyal
to the President and to the Dem
ocratic administration; every
Democrat who believes that a
faithful official is entitled TO a
second term and who approves
of Senator Shields attitude in
attending strickly to the duties of
his office; every Democrat who
believes that he is demonstrating
by performance, rather than by
protestation, his deep and abid-
ing loyalty and patriotism to his
country. should vote and work
for denomination.
Woodrow Wilson urged the
members of the Congress to stay
in Washington and help with the
tremendous work that confronts
the heads of the nation, pledging
them that the elections would go
to those who did most to deserve
reelection.
The Democrats of Tennessee
have it within their discretion to
vindicate the Presidents pledge.
