home-maker, viewing the problems of

view to the men who will constitute the

Few Facts
About Shields
CAdvsrtissmsn)t

Crump, Of Shelby, House, Of Dav-
idsOn and Shields Of Tennessee; all
the forces of corruption are assem-
bled under one banner. The people
know their senators by the company
they keep.
Shields thinks the State Of Tennes
see consists only of four counties,
these are Shelby, Davidson Hamil-
ton and Knox. That is why he has
been careful to see that the daily pa,
pers Of these counties support him.
He has lesson coming to him on the
first day of August, when we will hear
from the rural deestricts.v
The rural counties always have
fought the forces of corruption, and
Shields espoused their cause until he
attained his ambitions. Now he
scorns the ladder by which he rose
to fame and allies himself with the
vicious elements Of the state.
If Shields is such strong sup
porter Of President Wilson'S admin
istration, why did he espouse the
cause Of StahlTnan, that Hun Of Ma
tive Birth, that apologist for the
crimes Of the Germans, that excuser
for the crucifers Of women and chill
dren, that advocate Of autocratic gov
eminent? Possibly is was the au-
tocratic spirit in Shields that sought
him as supporter. Had Stahlman
not owned a paper Of considerable
circulation, would Shields have shown
himself SO solicitous as to Stahlman's
position?
People assert your power by voting
for Rye your only representative.
Shields has not been in the good old
county cf Greene for eight years.
Does that look like he cared corpo-
RAILS damn as to what the people Of
this county thought or desired. All
he wants is your votes, and if he can
count enough in the big city counties
TO Offset your votes, he does not care
for your votes. Crump, Howse &
Co. will see that he is nominated, if
there is small majority against him.
Better see that the majority is SO
large they dare not try to overcome
it with their corruption forces.
