HON. AUSTIN PEAY, GAINESVILLE, TENN.
Candidate For The Democratic Nomination For
Governor OF Tennessee.

Governor on account of a laudable
ambition, yet we are aware of the
fact that he is making a great sac
rifice in his private affairs, and that
he is in no sense expecting personal
gain.
Mr.. Peay is lawyer of splendid
ability, and an able counsellor. His
success before the courts is recog-
nized throughout the state. While
engaged in the practice of his profess
sion he has successfully directed
many large and varied enterprises,
thus enabling him to become thor
oughly familiar with the needs of the
business interests of the State. He
has been eminently successful in the
management of his own affairs, as
we'll as those of his clients, and we
sincerely believe that no man in
Tennessee is better qualified to give
the people safe and businesslike fl
nancial administration. The expe-
rience he has had in public and pri-
vate life has enabled him to demon
strate his executive ability, and the
correctness of his superior judgment.
Mr.. Peay possesses traits of char
acter which splendidly qualify him
for the high office to which he
aspires. We are sure that he will al
ways courageously champion the
cause of democracy as applied to the
administration of the business of our
commonwealth. We feel that this is
truly case where the office needs
the man more than the man needs
fhe office.
He has been lieflong democrat of
the old school, loyal to his party, and
true to his friends. His clear and
forceful statement of his candidacy
expresses most ably the issues before
the people and shows that he has
thoroughly informed himself of the
conditions that he will have to meet
as Governor of Tennessee.
Our many years association with
him in public and private life justi-
fies our heartiest endorsement of his
candidacy, and we earnestly COM
mend him to the voters of the State
as a man of courage, of honor, and
integrity, in every way reliable and
fully capable to give Tennessee a
successful business administration.
The above endorsement was unan-
imously adopted by the Chamber OF
Commerce of GAINESVILLE, Tenn.
w. E. BEACH,
President Chamber of Commerce.

Hon. Austin Peay, of GAINESVILLE,
Tenn, who is seeking the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Tennes-
see, is one of the best known and
we'll qualified men that we have in
public life in this State.
For the past twenty years he has
taken an active part in the great and
momentous questions that have been
under consideration in connection
with the welfare and advancement of
our great commonwealth.
He has served several terms in
the General Assembly, and has filled
many of the most important positions
in that august body, always work
ing earnestly and faithfully for the
general welfare, and the upbuilding
of the interests of Tennessee and the
great institutions that are under the
charge of the State.
He is a man who attracts TIE re-
spect and admiration of all citizens
who are fortunate enough to know
him, and those who are thus favored
will without exception see the truth
and consistency in the following
statement issued by his neighbors
and business associates of his home
city, with whom he has mixed and
mingled for the last twenty years.

Chamber of Commerce:
At a meeting of the GAINESVILLE

Russia came to the front again last

had been killed by the bolsheviki at

assassinated by soviet troops during
their retreat to that city. Another re-
port was that the bolshevik authorities
there had convicted him after a short
trial, condemned him to death and
shot him.
Then word came from Moscow that

ruler, had put himself at thes.head of

tives:
"The soldiers of. the Republic who
go to carry the American flag over
the German trenches owe a debt of
gratitude to the Hon. Richard w.
Austin, of Tennessee, that time can
not stale nor custom wither in a
thousand years. He brought in the
amendment here that gave them a
pay that no soldiers in the world ever
received before. His name will
shine luminous in the dark watches
of the night over the American camps
for century, while these great lead
ers', with records as yet unmade, and
these expert statesmen, with their
pruning knives, who seek to snatch
from the fighting mans fingers DICK
AUSTIN'S magnificent gift, are un-
wept, unhonored, and unsung."
