Crawford, of Columbia, was elected
the Middle Tennessee member of the
executive committee. J. w. Tanner,
of Columbia, was elected one of the

Twice has this county furnished the
state president and this is the fourth
time that it has furnished the delegate

Taner and Crawford have been two of

1t is probable that next year an in

First Monday in July brought a

has prevailed in most sections OF the

HON. PARKS MORLEY.

Protesting against the appointment
of Hon. Parks Worley, for many years
q senator from the second district, tho
successor of Hon. John 4. Cox. as the
boss" of Sullivan county, the Chat
tanooga News is insisting that Sena-
tors Shields and Mcclellan publish the
names of Worleys sponsors among
the democrats of the state. Worley,
has had a checkered career in state
poliics. His record as revenue agent
was utterly indefensible and he has
been for many years an issue among
the democrats. He has generally, how
ever, managed to get on the winning
side and has maintained an unusual
hold upon the people OF his district.
A few vars ago a legislative commit
tee made report on his official activ-
tiles that would have spelled ruin for
the average man in politics, but it did
not adversely affect the fortunes of
Senator Worley, yE5! v&i
It is probable that among his en-.
dorsments will be foundtthe names of
some of the political leaders in Ten
nessee. Not unlikely some Of the men
who a few short years ago denounced
him as PROPERLY qualified candidate
for the state prison are among those
who now want him appointed as Unit
ed States marshal. Politics constant.
ly change. Worley has not only had
himself elected to the senate every
two years, but he has been one Of the
most influential members of the legis.
lature. He would have been chairman
OF the last finance committee OF the
senate had precedent not been broken
and this officer been selected by the
democratic caucus. +
Whatever one may think OF Worley
as moral leader there Is no discount
ing his ability. He is altogether one
of the "smoothest" and ablest men
who has served in the legislature OF
Tennessee in recent years. He has an
agreeable personality and SO far as
appearances go, never, seems to har'
Dor the slightest malice. He will make
an alliance today with the men who
on yesterday denounced him for all
the crimes in the Newgate Calendar.
He has made business Of politics and
it has been profitable business, too.
People like the man who yields
power. They will always flock to the
man who can get results. Nothing
succeeds like success. AS long as,
Mr.. Worley is q power in the politics
of the state, as long as he carries the
democrats of Sullivan and Hawkins
counties in the hollow If his hands and
can control a half dozen members of
every legislature. he is sure to have
a big following In Tennessee no matter
what. hiss past record may be. He Is
always the most influential member Of
the legislature. Give a man power
and he is assured of following. The
humblest citizen of Maury county
might be suddenly elevated to the
governorship and his home would be
the Mecca for hundreds who never be-
fore gave him a second thought. Mr.
Worley will probably be appointed and
confirmed as United States marshal
because he has had the ability, the
personality and the, energy to make
his power felt in every contest in Ten.
nessee.
