On Oct, 90, 1918, the day before the Peace League Bosh" edto-
rial ria appeared, the Commercial Appeal published an editorial from which

Counting whether they irs@ were r Republicans Ie a' or g'T Democrats SsT HI He iss never
blackguarded a political opponent. He has never resorted to any dema-
gogic tricks to incur favor with all the people. He has done some things
that ran counter to public opinion. He believed he was right, and had
the courage to stand by his own convictions.
when the Establishments come after the war, a man with Shields
ability will be most valuable in the senate. He was a lawyer of ability
he was a Judge of ability, and he has a grasp OF questions both nationaI
and internstonal" raa
Then again on Oct. 81 1918 the day following the pubication
of the Peace League Bosh' editorial, another editorial contained the
following Endorsement Of Senator Shields:
John K. Shields has made a splendid United States senator. He
has represented Tennessee with ability There has never fallen from
him one demagosic utsrance, He has voted his sentiments on certain
measures where an opposite vote might have been popular.
In national constructive Legislation Shields has been most efficient.
In the matter Of demonstrating the constitutionality Of the seleetve
draft law and other war measures Shields arguments in the senate
we're accepted as final. In the years 10 come his speeches will be a-
unwse TO replace Shields with an Inexperienced man Of his own party
1t would be a crime to replace him with a Republican opponent"
