FRIDAY, JULY %, 1920.
Mr.. Crabtree Speaks.


The candidate for Governor, Mr..
Crabtree, arrived in Union City about
five hours late, but he spoke to
small number of people at the court
house Wednesday night.
Evidently Mr.. Crabtree is an hon
ored citizen of his own part of the
State, and in his speeches he seems
to be moved to very fair consider
alton for the personal feelings OF his
opponent. He undertakes to assail
Governor Roberts tax bill and his
political organization, but there is
nothing more striking about the ad-
dress than the pathetic figure OF a
man whose argument is so vapid,
whose attack so weak, whose whole
aspect and appearance so distress
ingly disappointing that even his
own admirers and friends pay him
Door reverence. They do not even
respond with the courtesy of ap-
plause.
1t would indeed be q discomfort
ing thought to trace the line of il
lustrious Governors Of the proud old
VOLUNTEER State from John Sewer, An
drew Johnson, Isham g. Harris, Jas.
d. Porter, Albert S. Marks, Benton
McMillen, and even our own Bob
Taylor down to the shoulders of a
man who cannot successfully defend
the position he has assumed and
fails utterly to move his friends with
encouragement.
Mr.. Crabtree made a few efforts
to criticise the tax bill and the adj
ministration. He called the tax bill
vicious, saying that it is autocratic
that it placed the burdens upon
the producer of the necessities of life.
He referred to the Crockett County
railroad assessment, saying that the
former tax was $500, and under
the new assessment it is $500. He
did not say whether this was the
personally and trackage, or only
one or the other. The Obion County
assessment does not show condi-
ton of this kind. The railroad tax
here has been largely increased un-
der the new law.
Mr.. Crabtree charged the admins
tration with political machine and
extravaganza. Governor R b r S
made his first race for reform of
this practice, and he proceeded to
weed out few of the useless Off
GERS. No man can do it all at once.
The speaker referred to the Carroll
County road contracts. The con-
tractors were, he says, required to
pay a forfeit of only $500 on con-
tract of $15O,OOO and this was de-
faulted and a new contract made for
$174,000, which costs the State
State $4,000. He called attention
to the fact that Mr.. House had built
no good roads in Obion County at
all.
The fact is that good roads are es-
timated at nearly $4,000 mile
and no State or Government is able
to build them at any price until la
Dor is obtainable.
Mr.. Crabtree would indeed be
sorry figure to meet the renowned
Jesse Littleton in the arena of polit
ical combat The fortunes of the
Democratic party in Tennessee are
worth more than the ambitions of
man without pretensions or leader
ship and the chickering's of numbers
of disappointed office holders.

600 in 1850, II they continue the
same number increase each year. a
report OF the Institute states. But.
IL they grow at the average percent
age rate OF the last six years. they
will have $50, 600 students in 1880
and 1,138.00O twenty years later.
Taking the lower estimate for
1850, Il means finding facilities for
