WHAT SAY YOU TO
THIS, DEMOCRATS?
To the Editor of the Banner:

To the Editor of the Banner:
On Thurday, Oct. Z, the Hon.
ALI Taylor spoke here (Columbia)
at the opera house. He spoke so
highly of the people of Tennessee
as the grandest people anywhere,
that thought it but right for him
to tell the audience why he voted
for the Lodge force bill" that
would place Federal soldiers and
marshals at the voting precincts in
stead of allowing us to conduct our
own elections in our own honest
way. So at or towards the end of
his speech l asked him if it was true
that he voted for the force bill when
he was in congress. He did not
answer, so / asked him again. He
then said: 81 did not vote for any
force bill, but / did vote for an
honest election law that would pre-
vent thieves and scoundrels from
voting.
then asked him twice if / could
ask him another question; he did
not consent but closed his speech by
saying that he hoped "my friend"
would two years hence vote for a
second term for him as governor of
Tennessee.
