FINS GARRETT.

Tennessees delegation to the ma
tional convention would have been
very greatly strengthened by the cleo
tion Of Representative Finis Garrett
| from the state at large. CARROTS
speech as temporary chairman of the
democratic state convention was a
masterpiece 1t proves that oratory Is
still1a gift among Tennesseans. There
were few iny that convention WHO ever
heard more finished oratien or one
better. delivered than that of the selo-
queAt Weakley countian. MIR. Gar
,rett's choice of words is especially
happy and he has delivery that is
wonderfully appealing. His address
proved his broad and catholic grasp
of the great issues of the day and he
ought to be upon the floor of the ma
tional convention.
Garrett would easily have been
elected had it been known month
ago that he was the choice of Gov.
Roberts instead of Mcclellan The
governors friends controlled nearly
all of the county mass conventions
and they would have instructed for
Garrett instead of Mcclellan, if they
had suspected any antagonism be-
tween the governor and the senatorial
Hmelight seeker. In some quarters it
was denied that Roberts was hostile
to Mcclellan, but the Chattanooga
Times, organ ioft the governor but
neverthelessb a newspaper, repeats
the story so current In. Nashville that
Garrett was the governors choice. 1t
also intimates that Roberts threw
down the ninth district representa-
tive in the race for delegate.
II was charged in Nashville in the
hotel bbbies on the day Of the con-
vention' that two of the justices of the
supreme court were bitterly denounc-
Ing Roberts because, they alleged, the
governor had thrown down" Garrett
and gone to bed with Mcclellan Be
that as it may there were some fea-
lures in connection with the race for
delegate that have not been explain
ed The most gratifying thing about

prove matters On the contrary these
spcalied progressive movements are
fe4lfy retrograde movements Take
the direct presidential primary for
example. Its expense is such that
unless candidate is very wealthy
or is backed by men of great wealth
he is under handicap that brains
and public service and demonstrated
capacity will prove of little avail in a
race for the highest office in the land.

Is this true? Can 1t not be argued

In fixing the long term for senators

reaching issues but slightly under

Was 1t not evidence Of the farseeing
vision OF our forefathers and an al
most uncanny understanding Of how
easily swayed by passions and preju-
dices are political mobs?

and joined with the republicans in a
partisan effort to make separate
peace with Germany, ignore our al
lies and dishonor our country. j
But no matter what the offense Of
the distinguished senior senator may
be there is grave doubt Of the right
of a political convention made up
very largely of politicians seeking
some personal advancement or politi-
cal advantage, to solemniy instruct
on a great international question, one
that involves the safety, the honor
and the future welfare of the nation.

There was a time in the history OF

ably sets a new precedent in this
state. ~
1t was for many years much dis
puted question as to whether or not a
legislature had the right to instruct a
senator to vote contrary to his con
victions. In Tennessee the view gen
orally prevailed, sup to 1861 that this
right did exist and when senators
found that they could not in good con-
science follow the instructions of the
legislature they resigned. This gen
orally was also the Southern view
where state sovereignty was held In
the highest esteem. /, The, senators
were then regarded not as representa-.
tives Of the people en-, masse but as
ambassadors of sovereign states. The
federal amendment providing for their
election by direct vote Of; re people
has somewhat changed their status.
Notwithstanding the general South.
ern view that a senator who did not
represent the will of the legislature
Of his state. should resign, at times
senators did defy this theory and re-
fused to bow to instructions or to
quit their seats in the senate. This
was notably the case with Lucius
Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar. the great
Mississippi democrat, who refused to
obey the instructions of his Iegisla-
ture on the money question and was
subsequently reelected. George Ora
