Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1918-05-31

At a meeting of prominent re-
publicans in Nashville last week
the names of H. Clay Evans, of
Chattanooga, and H. B. Lindsay,
of Knoxville, were frequently
mentioned as prospective candi-
dates for senatorial nominations,
and Jesse Littleton, of Chatta-
noogt; K. s. Hopkins, of Colum-
bit, and j. Sam johnson, of Hunt
ingdon, we're mentioned for gov
ernor. Opinion, however, was d.
vided as to the ACCESSIBILITY of en-
tering either the senatorial or
gnbernatorial race. While the
party will no doubt put candidates
in the field it will be hard to en-
list much interest. The people
are thinking about war now more
than politics or the success of po-
litical parties. The state is demo-
cratic and there would be but lit
tie chance for republicans to win.
The republicans would have just
about as much chance to win in
the state as the democrats would
have to carry Carroll county in the
August election.

WILL BE NO DEBATE
Sims Says This is No Time for
Personal Controversies

Judge Sidney j. Everett. Of The
Sixteenth Judicial Circuit, com
posed Of Fayette. Hardeman, Laud-
erdale. Madison. McNairy and
Upton counties. who some weeks
ago announced his candidacy for
congress from the Eight Congress
siOnal district on the democratic
ticket, has challenged the present
incumbent, Congressman 7. w.
Sims, to joint debate in presenting
their candidacy to the democrats
Of the district. beginning the last
of May or the first Of June. Con-
gresham Sims says:
At this time no good can pos
sibly come of mere personal con-
troversies when no issues Of prin-
cple are involved. The Sixty fifth
is a war congress and the sixty
sixth will be no less a war con-
gress, No one can foresee when
the present session of the sixty
fifth will end and no one of its
members ought to be challenged
to abandon his post Of duty in
order to have joint debate with a
competitor for any party nomina-
ton"
Mr.. Sims refers to bis arduous
duties as chairman of the commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
MERGE, chairman of the new water
power committee, to have consid-
GRAFTON of all bills, both of the
house and senate. ranking house
member and vice-chairman of the
joint house and senate committee
of government control and regula-
ton of interstate and foreign trans
portation and all proposed changes
in the organization of the inter-
state commerce commission. Mr.,
Sims takes occasion in concluding
his letter of declination to formally
announce his candidacy for the
democratic nomination for con-
gress subject to the primary to be
held on August |.
Following is the correspondence:
House Of Representatives, Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, Thetus w. Sims,
Chairman.
Washington, D. G., May 90, 1918.
Hon. s. j. Everett,
Jackson, Tenn.
Dear Judge:-I am in receipt Of
your letter which reads as follows:
Hon ThetuS w Sims
Washington, b. G., May ID, 1918.
Dear Sir:-I learn from some
of your friends that you will be a
candidate for congress again in the
democratic primary, and being a
candidate myself, and expecting
to make some speeches in the in
terest of my candidacy, beginning
the last of May or the first of June,
] am writing to ask you to agree
with me on list of appointments
in the several counties of the dis
trict where we may engage in joint
debates in presenting our candi-
dacy to the democrats of this con-
gressional district.
Il feel that we could and would
conduct such a campaign ona high
plane, and | would be delighted to
have joint discussions with you.
Hoping to receive a favorable re-
ply from you, | am,
Very truly yours.

contests for election to congress
with some Of the ablest and most
experienced debaters in our party.
But some Of the best men in our
party have always advised against
such a course. Our district Isl
close if both political parties poll
the same percentage of voting
strength. Under existing condi-
tons / doubt the wisdom of such
campaign. AZ this time no good
can possibly come of mere per-
sonal controversies, where no Isl
sues of principle are involved. So
called joint debates between eandi-
dates of the same party have to a
great extent become a thing of the
past. Joint debates between the
nominees Of opposing political
parties have very largely been dis
carded. The very existence Of
free government throughout the
whole world is seriously threat
ened. At such time as this the
people take no interest in the
petty personal discussions of the
claims of rival candidates for Of
fee. The sixty-drst is a war con-
gress and the sixty-sixth will be
no less war congress, No one
can foresee when the present SEES
sion Of the sixty-ifth will end and
no one of its members ought to be
challenged to abandon his post of
duty in order to have a joint de-
bate with a competitor for a party
nomination.
AS chairman of the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce
| introduced and was instrumental
in securing the passage of the adj
ministration bill for the govern
ment control and operation Of all
the rail and water transportation
systems in the United States.
This bill was one of the most es-
sential and the most stupendous
piece of legislation that has ever
been enacted into law by any con-
eress since the establishment of our
republic. AS time psses, no doubt.
perfecting amendments to this
great war act will become neces-
sary. A number of bills have al
ready been introduced proposing
amendments to the law. Some are
wise and good, and some are un-
wise and bad. Director General
McAdoo is in constant consulta-
tion with me regarding these sew
eral bills, and is relying on me to
take care of the legislative situa-
tion in the house. Even temper
airy absence from Washington on
my part might prove very detri-
mental to government railway con
troll legislation.
During the long and sultry days
of last August and September, in
stead of of seeking the refreshing
atmosphere of seaside resorts, /,
with other members of our COM
mlttee, were spending our days
and nights in formulating and Sc
curing the passage of the great war
risk insurance law, providing for
government life insurance for our
soldiers at the lowest rate of prem
Jun ever known in the history Of
the world for so hazardous a risk;
also providing for family allow
ances and allotments for the de-
pendent members of the families.
During this session | have already
introduced seven administration
bills and joint resolutions amend
ing said act so as to further
broaden and liberIize the provis-
ions of the law. Two of the bills
have already become laws, and
four others have been favorably
by my committee and are
now on the calendar of the house

criticised the Officers severely for fir
ing upon the car and secuted the theory
| that Lowery was shot by the negro.
/ The shooting took place on the Ferry
Pass road, the deputies having been
directed to proceed to the ferry and
there intercept and arrest the negro
who. on the strength of a telephone
| message from Sheriff Harvell, of Santa
Rosa county. was in an automobile,
\ on his way to Pensacola. Sheriff Van
| Pelt went to one ferry and the two
deputies named were despatched to the
other. 1t was at the ferry landing
where the two deputies were sent to,
that the automobile in which the ne
gro was a passenger with his charge,
landed. Sheriff Van Pelt, upon the ar
| rival of the ferry at this point, saw
that his trip was fruitless and he
started to the other place. He planned
to meet his deputies there and either
station one or more at the ferry and
return to the city or else was to re-
main there himself. Just about the time
he approached the scene he heard the
shooting and made as quick time as
possible to the spot Approaching the
location. he was told that two men
were dead" and believing that his
deputies were injured in the melee, he
lost no time in making an investiga
ton. Learning that neither of his men
had been hurt, he conducted further
inquiry and ordered that the two depu-
ties be held in custody until the serious
encounter could be cleared up by al
further Investigation.

point where the possibility Of more in

more comprehension OF retail distribu-

we put in a minimum wage of So per

evidence that 1t has been satisfactory
Is that on April 1 OF this year we in
creased the minimum wage to $40"
Those back of the bill are expecting
but little opposition to 1t in congress
because the merchants and others
