ndous Majority Predicted he will Cary Every Congressional
ELECT SHIELDS, AS HE
DESERVES FOR SECOND TERM

If it is true that Judge Shields has
made good, and he has, why not give him
an endorsement, especially at time when
our nation needs men of experience, men
who will stand for everything to win the
war which involves all that is sacred and
necessary to our national existence asa
free and independent people?
This is no time to play politics. The
American idea of government, which was
handed down by our forefathers, is being
fought over today on the blood-soaked
plains of France Italy and Palestine, and
if for no other reason our national laWmak-
ers who have helped in the preparations be-
ing made to win the war should be endorsed
Let the people see to it that politics be
consigned to the junk pile in the choosing Of
men for congress. Let this decision apply in
Senator Shields case, and he will be elected
as he deserves, for second term.-Camden
Chronicle The above is from Gov Rye's
former home paper, but now supporting
Senator Shields.

RYE ON DEMOCRACY
OPPOSES WILSON'S POLICY
This Editorial From Gov. Rye's Home
Paper is Very Strong:

Gov. Thomas c. Rye has begun a speak
ing tour of the state in the interest of his
candidacy for the Democratic senatorial
nomination. This campaign would appear
to be directly opposed to the policy of Pres
ident Wilson, who recently declared that
politics is adjourned" since Gov. Rye by
his speaking and agitating can only divert
the attention of the people from the world
war, in which thousands of Americans and
Tennesseans are offering their lives that
democracy shall not perish from the face Of
the earth.
Senator John X. Shields is seeking
second term in the United States senate, but
has declined to leave his post of duty at
Washington to appear on the stump in Ten
nessee, believing that he can best serve the
government and the people by remaining at
his seat in the senate during these trying
and critical times. IN a. So
Gov Rye also holds high position Of
trust and honor in Tennessee. The war has
increased the responsibilities of the govern
or thousand fold and yet he is now cam
paigning the state in the interest OF his
race for the senate. In doing this he must
be neglecting the duties Of the office of
governor. i So.
Not long before Gov. Rye announced
for the senate he was quoted in a news
paper that is now supporting him as follows
regarding the senatorial contest: "
"The people elected me to fill the office
of governor. The war has imposed new and
additional burdens without end upon the OF
flee and upon me, the incumbent. There is
not day that am not called upon to con-
slider some question of Importance affect
ing the welfare of our people or our coun-
try growing out of the war. Were can
didate for the senate these important mat
tiers so vital to the public welfare would be
neglected. | cannot gain the consent OF my
mind to neglect those important duties inn
posed upon me at ouch time to become a
candidate for United States senator, and
were | to become candidate, must of nee
essity neglect these things" 1.
Gov. Rye may or may not have SAID
this-he was quoted in a. newspaper now
friendly to his candidacy as saying it-but
whether he did or did not the fact remains
that his duty today is in his office at Nash
VILE where the duties Of the governor have
been heavily increased by the war, and ne
should abandon this speaking campaign
against man who is remaining constantly
at his post in Washington, looking after
the interests of the people and the nation
in this hour of peril.
1t appears that the governors own
words are against him in this untimely race
for the senate Paris paician

II ne knew any law at all, certainly Was
aware of the provisions of the ranger law
which forbid the Governor to send rangers
into any county without first having OBJ
tanned the consent or request of the county
attorney general, the sheriff or the Grim
inal court Judge
He said that in the. case of the textile
strike, the Governor had received no re-
quest from either of these officers of Ham
iton county, and that without questioning
anyone, in his own stubborn manner" he
ordered out the rangers to Chattanooga.
Mr.. Brummitt declared that Governor
Rye made no attempt to answer the attack
made upon his position by the Order of Rail
way Conductors while speaking in Chatta-
nooga although the resolutions condemn
ing him were passed by the local union on
the morning before the governor spoke
there Mr. Brummitt said that Rye had not
endeavored to answer this Indictment at
any time because of the fact that the sheriff
encouragement and criminal court judge
of Hamilton county were ready to state
that they had not requested the rangers or
sanctioned his sending them into Hamilton
county. He also said that the governor had
been warned by Judge W. T. Murray of
Chattanooga, prior to sending the rangers
that such action would be against the law,
but that the governor paid no attention to
this, and wilfully and stubornlv took TINS
slap at organized labor and was now play
ing the demagague in charging that oena-
tor Shields had not been friendly to organ
lied labor during his term in the senate or
on the Supreme bench Of this state.
SHIELDS FRIEND OF LABOR
Mr. Brummitt declared that the or
gained labor in Tennessee appreciates Sen
ator Shields worth as it's friend and as a
statesman and loyal representative of all
the people of his state. He said that when
election>day came it would be found that
organized labor in Tennessee was aligned
on the side of the senator and would ad-
minister more singing rebuke to the gov
ernor of Tennessee than he had administer
ed to labor by the sending of the rangers to
Chattanooga
Mr.. Brummitt declared that he had
been through the entire East Tennessee di-
vision, and that Senator Shields would un-
questionably carry that section of the state
by majority of not less than 8 to l. Mr.
Brumnitt said that all the big labor centers
of the state would show how organized la
Dor felt toward the governor, despite the
latter's demagagic plea that he is the friend
and Senator Shields the enemy of the la
boring men.
Mr.. /Brummitt scored Rye's general
tactics and his record as a governor, assert
ing that Rye had proved to be the weakest
chief executive the Democratic party had
ever honored with the position. He asserted
that Rye's crowds in Feast Tennessee were
really "pituful," being in themselves "a slap
on the part of the voters of the state at the
man who is now parading in the livery of
friend of organized labor and posing as
the savior of Democracy and Democratic
ideals"
Mr.. Brummitt was formerly assistant
sergeant-at-arms of the state senate

PRESIDENT WILSON NEEDS
SENATOR SHIELDS IN SENATE

While the boys cover there" are pEe-
senting a solid front to the enemy, it be-
hooves every patriotic citizen back home to
do everything calculated to help win the war
We can ill afford, at this time, to devote our
energies to partisan politics. Senator John
K. Shields has made an excellent record IN
the United States Senate; he has been con-
sistent and loyal in his support OF all war
measures. The President needs him, the
Senate needs him, the country at large
needs him, and last, but not least, Tennes-
see needs him right where he is. Let the
Democrats of the old volunteer State
rally unhesitatingly to his support for an
endorsement term which he is so deservedly
asking Petersburg Herald.

RYE BITTEREST ENEMY
OF LABORING CLASSES

That Gov Rye's campaign talk about
his great love for organized labor and what,
he has done for it is nothing but camouflage
and that he is recognized as one of the bit
terest enemies of organized labor in this
state and would be most dangerous man
to place in the United Statess senate, where
he would have to deal with questions and
policies affecting not only national but in
ternational organized labor, is the opinion
and open statement of Hayes Brummltte
of Chattanooga, for twenty five years
member of organized labor and now one of
the foremost workers in Tennessee.
Mr. Brummitt is q member of the Order
of Railway Conductors and is now actively
. engaged in telling the organized labor OF
Tennessee just how invidious to organized
labor Mr.. Rye has been since becoming gov
ernor of this state.
Mr.. Brummitt is a visitor in the city
today, and in an interview with Banner
reporter declared unreservedly that Gov
Rye was the foremost and bitterest enemy
to organized labor now in the entire state
Of Tennessee. He said that Rye had shown
himself all along to be hostile to organized
labor and that his misconduct as Governor
of Tennessee in sending the state rangers
to Chattanooga during the textile strike
last year was one of the hardest and most
direct slaps at organized labor ever deliver
ed in this state.
ENDORSE SHIELDS
Mr.. Brummitt declared that on the
morning before Rye opened his campaign
at Chattanooga, the Order of Railway Con-
ductors there endorsed the candidacy OF
Senator John K. Shields and vioently at
tackled the stand of the Governor in refer
ence to the textile strike and also In the
matter of the Governors effort to escheat
all property on Lookout mountain to the

MORE TEACHERS WANTED
 TO AlD LOCAL BOARD
Task of Filling Out Vocational Cards Calls For Every Available
 Helper.

An appeal for more aid from the teachers of the city schools is being made by Chairman Loosley of local board No. 1. He states that while the teachers have given generously of their time and have been of great as sistance, the task ahead of them is of such magniture that every available helper is badly needed. The teachers are being asked to fill out vocational cards for every registrant. This means going thru each questionnaire and transferring certain information to the new cards.
 The local board is already behind in this work, and it must be completed in time for all the cards to reach the proper authorities and be classified before the next call for men is made. As this call is looked for within few weeks the importance of completing the vocational cards is obvious.
 MT. Loosley states that he will gladly meet any teachers at his office any afternoon or evening that they wish to work with the board.
