M UGH ENCOURAGEMENT

Col. w. r. Crabree. candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor,
will open his campaign saturday with
an address in either Clarksville or
Murfreesboro.
From that day on until the contest is
decided the Chattanooga candidate will
speak every day. He expects to talk
to the democracy of each county from
its county seat before the campaign
ends The list of speaking engagements
for Col. Crabtree has not yet been per-
fected. but will be announced In the
next few days.
A statewide organization to promote
Col. Crabtree's candidacy has been
perfected already in most Of the coun-
ties of the state and it will be but q
matter OF a few days until there viii
be an effective Crabtree organization In
every county. Col. Crabtree announced
today. State headquarters have beer
opened in the Maxwell house. and those
in charge are keeping in close touch
with political developments throughout
phone calls are coming in unceasing
number to Col Crabtree, indorsing tc
the uttermost his candidacy and pledg-
ing support.
Many of these letters are from mer
who have formerly been willing to &c
been disgusted with the Roberts. tax
law and public utility record. and are
now in open opposition to a second term
for the present incumbent.
An example of such letter is one
that Col. Crabtree received from Judge
John Y. Peete. judge of the county
court of Upton county, at Covington
Judge Peete writes that he ''hastens
to avail himself OF the opportunity tc
congratulate you, as well as the people
of Tennessee. on your entrance into the
race for governor of our taX-ridden
state, upon which sthe hands of a self
centered autocracy have been so AFRO
gantly laid. ! read with rare relish your
announcement and scathing arraign-
ment of the present incumbent, and
only regretted that you did not hit his
hack salary grabbing legislature a few
licks. too. Some of the laws passed by
them in 1919 are so, obnoxious to
free men as to demand a repeal. If pos
sible, on the first day the next legis-
lature meets before breakfast. ] think
you can carry this county without any
effort"
From throughout the state come let.
ters. of which the above is representa-
tive. pledging the support of influential
democrats and assuring Col. Crabtree
that the county will be in his column on
the election returns. The perfection OF
the Crabtree organization throughout
the state is in splendid working order
and the colonel'S friends are much con-
Gerned over tht situation. Reports are
coming in daily which lend strength 10
