Governor Tom c. Rye, of Tennes
see, has announced his candidacy 70.
a place in the United States Senate
in the coming race. opposing Senator
John X. Shields, the incumbent, anC
General Charles T. Gates, former at

candidate.
Gov. Rye's announcement is as
follows:
yielding to the solicitation oil
friends and desiring to further serve
my people, have decided to enter the
contest for the Democratic nominal
ton for United States Senator. In
reaching this decision, / am not I'M
mindful of the dignity and RESPONSE
bility of the high and honorable posi-
ton which the people, for the first
time in the history of our State, are
called upon directly to fill by legal
lied primary, to be held on the first
Thursday in August. l have decided
to enter the contest because the peo-
pie, in whom l have implicit conf
dence, and upon whom l have always
relied in every political contest in
which l have engaged, will have /.
voice in the selection of the man who
shall represent them in the Senate.
81 shall endeavor to conduct my
candidacy in such manner as to COM
port with the true ideals of Tennes
see, not forgetting that the hearts OF
our people are with the boys in line
of<duty and are more concerned abOm
the issues involved in the present wal
than they are in the personal FORUM
es of any individual, and, knowing as
l do whose the care of Tennessee is
and should be at this time, no I'M
seemly canvass will be INDUCED in by
me, and the added duties and respon-
sibilities now resting upon me by rea-
son Of the titanic struggle for human
ity in which we are engage will not
be neglected.
II would be untrue to my feelings
to attempt to draw the publics mind
from the things that concern us most
of all at this time, simply to crafty |
some personal ambition. |
'As it becomes necessary and desir-
able on the part of the people to know |
my views and feelings on public |
questions affecting their interests, l |
shall hasten to declare my attitude. |
trust that my statement declaring my |
candidacy will meet the demands of a
generous public at this time and will
serve as full and complete answer
Ito all inquiries insofar as the people
have evidenced an interest as to my
intentions in this matter.
II am deeply grateful to an indulg-
ent public for the confidence reposed
in me in the past, and, if my course
in office and the service rendered any
guarantee of fidelity, l offer them as
my only bond and pledge of future

GOV RYE'S CANDIDACY

Gov. Rye, Notwithstanding the pOpl
lar sentiment against factionus polit
ical activities while the country is a
war, has entered the senatorial figh
and makes a formal announcement Il
that effect-"yielding to the solicita
ton of friends and desiring TO sery,
MY people" and he might have added
in accordance with long line OF pre-
cedents which establishes the COVER
nors office as q stepping to the
| United States Senate. There is no
more reason why Gov. Rye should be-
come a candidate than there was for
| Mr.. Charles r. Gates to enter the race
There is and has been no popular de-
mand for the defeat of Senator Shields
and the only motive that could have
Gates is, not that Senator Shields has
not performed his duty in behalf of
the people and the administration
faithfully and we'll, but that each Of
them wants the office. 1t is not that
there is a necessity for improving the
public service, but that personal am
bition may be greatified, an ambition
in no way related to the public neces-
stiles in a time of crisis like that
through which we are passing. Gov.
Rye recognizes the condition himself
in his card of announcement. He
says:
l shall endeavor 10 conduct my can
didacy in such manner as to compOrt
with the true ideals of Tennessee, not
forgetting that hearts OF our peopl
are with the boys in line OF duty and
are more concerned about the issues
involved in the present war than they
are in the personal fortunes of any
individual and, knowing as, do, whose
the care of Tennessee is and should
be at this time, no nuseemly canvass
will be INDUCED in by me and the ad- !
ded duties and responsibilities now
resting upon me by reason of the III |
tanic struggle for humanity in which !
we are engage will not be neglected |
o However virtious may be GOV. Ryes |
however determined he |
may be not to disturb the serious sem
timents of the people at this time in
the face of the impending tragedies
Of the war, and however much he
may think he is going to conduct his
so as not TO disturb the
true ideals of Tennessee" he can no
more prevent the waging OF dis
racting, if not more or less bitter,
than he can control the cur
'ents OF mems thoughts. He tells us
hat he comedies the fact that the
hearts of our people are with the boys
n the line of duty and are more con-
;erned about the issues involved in
he present war than they are in the +
PERSONAL fortunes OF any individual"
md yet he seeks to divert their at
entlon from the just merits OF the
nan now in the senate; the man who ,
S simply seeking an Endorsement of {
lis official conduct in accordance ,
With an honorable precedent in the 4
party, and of which the ,
oyernor himself has been the beno- 7
iciary; the man, who is faithfully and {

governor himself thus furnishes the
soundest and most substantial reason
why he should not have entered this
race-he is forcing an issue upon the
people at time when their only con-
Germ is with the boys i'll the line OF

that the governor would have found !
it quite in consonance with the pat |
rioHc sentiment he thus expresses to +
have pursued a course that would not
have diverted the hearts of the peo-
pie from their chief concern, or
their attention in the slightest way
from the issues involved in this
war" to the consideration of the mere
personal fortunes" either of himself or
anybody else.
President Wilson, in his notable ad-
dress to the congress on Monday re-
lating to the passage of war revenue
measures gave an eloquent response
to those who are imposing personal
ambitions or political aspirations up
on the people at this time. He says:
politics is adjourned. The cleo
tons will so to those who think least
of it; to those who go to the con-
without explanations or
excuses, with a plain record of duty
faithfully and disinterestedly perform
ed. l, for one, am always confident
that the people of this country will
give a just verdict upon the service of
the men who act for them when the
facts are such that no man can dis
guise or conceal them. There is no
danger Of deceit now. An intense and
pitiless light beats upon every man
and every action in this tragic plot
Of war that is now upon the stage.
This is message peculiarly to Gov.
Rye. Let his take Senator Shields
record, and he will be forced to admit
hat neither he nor Mr.. Gates could
improve it; let him study Senator
Shields experience, which neither he
nor Mr.. Gates has had, and which y
gives him influence no new man could
possibly exert; let him apply the test
by the president and see
whether Senator Shields has not per q,
ormed his public duties faithfully
md disinterestcdly.' The people are n
;oing TO render Just verdict the

ions or excuses, with a plain record &C

There could be no other stronger 81
'ords than these against the candi- hi
acies of both Gov. Rye and MIR, y

State Board Of Hort Texture

Careful Pruning Of Badly

Be Necessary.

The Montana state board Of horticul-
ture is at this time strongly advising
all orchardists within the state to
spray their trees thoroughly for the
various pests which may be present. In
order to have as much high class fruit
as possible and a minimum amount of
culls and infected fruit the growers Of
Montana need to control. especially the
apple scab, the blister mite, the oyster
shell scale and the codling moth.
Those possessing old and neglected
trees should give them severe prun-
ing before attempting to spray, since it
is practically impossible to secure sat

ed and allowed to grow great amount
of wood and brush." says A. L. Strause.

Bad Fruit OF Market.
While it is not the desire Of the board
to cause any waste. the good OF the
fruit industry demands that serious

the growers to spray. for by spraying

Last fall the state board Of horticul-

scabbed apples to DO marketed under
certain restrictions. Under the condi-
lions that prevailed last year that rul-

grades were not lowered since it was
required that injected fruit be seq
regated from the standard grades and
labeled exactly according to contents.
Tits rule Was : passed for one year
and should conditions appear to require
that it be discontinued the board will
have no hesitancy in doing away with
it this year. In order to be on the
