has THE CONSTITUTION BEEN DISRE.
GARDED2

Has the Constitution of our
country been disregarded The
following from an address to Re-
publicans by Will H. Hayes,
Chairman of the Republican Nat
ional Committee, would seem
to indicate that there has been
some infringement somewhere
and somehow of the American
Constitution, which William E.
Gladstone, England's greatest
statesman, once denominated
the greatest document among ma
tions.
I'VE will bring the govern
ment back to the limitations and
principles of the constitution in
time of peace and establish poll
cies which again will bind up the
wounds of war, renew our pros
perity, administer the affairs OF
the government with the great
est economy, enlarge our strength
at home and abroad, prevent the
further spread of the socialistlc
tendency of the times toward fed
eral ownership of all creation and
distribution of wealth as a pana-
cea for all the real and fancied
ills of society, and set the nations
feet once more firmly on the path
of progress andialong ways which
liberty and order must ever guard
and preserve. )"
If the Constitution has been
disregarded it is the duty of ev-
cry citizen who wishes his coun-
try to remain a free country. to
see that only that party is placed
in power in the next national E.
lection, which by it's previous re-
cord can guarantee prosperity
with fpeace, and which shall
cling fast unconsciously to that
democratic doctrine of the past.
the doctrine of President James
Monroe which warned this ma
ton against entangling foreign
alliances.

if they are made, and vindicate
me Of such.
There is only one newspaper
published at Winchester (the

carrying some matters which re-
fleet upon my reputation, which |
am not allowed to answer thru
its columns, me offering to pay
for the necessary space therefor.

conceive of what an awful ordeal
it is to have to remain silent when
he is WrongfulIy accused, until he
experiences such. 1t is an ordeal

dure again.
now especially warn my
friends all over the District not
to allow themselves to be deceiv-
ed by false charges which may be
preferred, too late for me to an
swer. | would not shield my
self from any just criticism with
a lie, in order to obtain this Of
fee, and if any charges are made
concerning which anyone desires
to know the truth, l shall be glad
to answer inquiries relative there
to, in any manner possible.
| am absolutely familiar with
the conditions prevailing through
out the District, and unless de-
signing politicians can formulate
some plan to divert the people
from their determined purpose,
my election is a certainty.

POOR SHOWING.

The showing on Thrift Stamp
Sales is not what it should be in
the counties of the valley, Mar
ion county has so far pledged Al
per cent. of the subscription.
BIedsoe county has only pledg-
ed IL per cent. The latter coun-
ty has the distinction of being
the richest county in bank de-
posits per capita. Grundy coun-
ty on the mountain mas done
much better than any of the coun-
ties, having pledged 60 per cent.
on it's allotment.
Systematic effort should be
made to brace up on the Thrift
Stamps Sales, as outside OF the
use of the money derived there
from in bringing this Internal
war to a close, it is business
proposition much better than ev-
en- the Liberty Bonds, as you
can get your money back on
them on ten days notice.

When a non-subscriber to this
paper regularly makes a practice
of borrowing it from subscriber,
he is taking from US for nothing
the product of our time, our la
Dor and our capital, and could be
called guilty of theft. We know
of localities in which five or six
families read the News regularly
for nothing by borrowing it from
a regular subscriber, often to his

There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years 1t was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional con-
ditions and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine, manufactured by F j. Cheney &

To the Democratic vO-
ters Who Are Members
of Labor Organizations

1t is very important to you to
know how candidates for the leg
islature stand on questions af-
| fecting your interests. AS a can
didate for the nomination for
State Senator before the Demo
cratic Primary, | desire you to
know that / stand as follows on
questions directly affecting your
interests:
l. | am absolutely and I'M
qualifiedly opposed to the convict
lease system. A law has been
passed abolishing this system but
it may come up for repeal. |
will stand square against the re-
peal of this law and against any
law or laws seeking to lease con-
victs or put convict labor in COM
petition with free labor. | have
always taken this position and
will put forth my best efforts to
sustain it.
2. stand for the abolition of
what is known as the Fellow
Servants Rule. Under this law,
which is now effective, in this
State, if an employee gets hurt
thru the negligence of a fellow
workman, in the same class of
employment as himself, he can
not recover any damages for his
injury. | think this is wrong
and that man should have some
compensation even though he is
hurt by the negligence of a fell
low servant.
"a. | favor the abolition of
the contributory negligence rule.
Under this law as now effective
in Tennessee, a person cannot re-
cover for an injury if he contrib
utes the least bit of negligence to
the cause of the injury. ] will
favor a law making the compare
tive negligence rule effective in
this state. Under this rule a per.
son can recover some damages
even though he is partly negli-
gent. provided the company or
person causing the injury is more
negligent. These 'two questions
are of vital Importance to the
man who works. Practically all
the states. and the United States
itself, has abolished the fellow
servent rule and the contribute
ry negligence rule. 1t is full time
that Tennessee was giving the
working man his just rights, and
| pledge myself, should | be your
state senator, to put forth my
best efforts to see that he gets it.
4. | will stand on the side of
labor on all questions affecting
their interest.
In token of my sincerity | in
vite you to ask any man who |
knows me we'll as to my position
on the above questions.
| ask you to give this your care
full consideration, and assure you
that do not make this statement |
as political buncombe to try to
ride in Office on, but because | |
think the position l have taken is
right.
| respectfully ask for your sup
port.
Very truly yours.

THE allies never felt better pre-.

of cheers greeted the statement.
"The number of Americans who
have come since March is sufficient
to satisfy the sllies and ultimately de-
feat Germany" Lloyd George then
flatly declared. He then added:
"The next two months will be
anxious months but the allies are i'm.

AUSTRIANS SURRENDER
Rout Of Emperor's Forces sveritable
Oebacle-Enemy Losses Placed
at 100000 Men.

Rome, June .26.-Italian troops have
forced the last cear guard of the re-
treating Austrians to surrender and
completely reoccupied the west bank
Of the Piave, the war office an
nounces. General Diaz places the
number of prisoners at 10000. One
report places the Austrian casualties
at 100000 men. In addition the enemy
lost large stores of munitions and sup
plies and many guns.
Earlier reports emphasized the
crushing manner in which the Aus
TRANS have been defeated. The mag
nitude of the Italians victory grows
more apparent with every fresh report.
The Austrian retreat has been turned
into virtually debacle.
The Italians have opened fresh at
tacks in the mountain zone (sector of
the Asiago plateau) and have scored
an advance there despite strong pres
sure from the enemy. There has been
hard fighting in the Monte Bella and
Monte Asolone sectors.
On the front in France and Belgium
bombardments and raiding operations,
the latter in considerable strength.
continue The French, near Leport,
north of the Aisne, have repulsed u
German attack, but on several other
sectors, notably in the Woevre and in
Lorraine, themselves have carried out
successful raids and taken prisoners
The Canadians near Arras have been
successful.
Synchronously with the defeat of
the Austrians in Italy and the spirit
Of unrest prevalent in the dual mon
archy, comes Foreign Secretary Won

Germany that that country is desirous
of peace.
