Every Democrat in Tennessee would
do well to gather daily political in
formation from the editorial columns
of the Nashville Tennessean. For
several months the Tennessean has
carried editorials which could not
fail to cheer and encourage Demo-
Gratis who stood with Woodrow Will
son and his policies are being vindi-
Gated as the questions brought about
by the world war arise for settlement
and the Republicans are forced to
take stand one way or another-and,
by the way, the Republicans having
defeated the Democrats so completely
last Fall, have since kept their fight
ing hands in by tearing at each 9TH
ers' threats. Every day when we
read the splendid Tennessean editor
ials, we wish they might be seen by
the thousands of men who call them
selves Democrats but have little
knowledge on which to account for
the faith that is in them.

w R. Holland, whose announce
ment for Mayor of Lexington is car
ried by the Progress, has been a resi-
dent of this town nine years. He
came to US recommended as a good
business man when he was entrusted
with the important position of local
agent for the Nashville, Chattanooga
& st. Louis Railway-and whether or
not he has sustained himself on the
recommendation can best be learned
by Investigating his standing with his
employers and the large number of
men under him. Mr.. Holland is ad-
mitted by all to be a evil-headed, con-
siderate man, one who believes in
justice between man and man and we
are told by those who know him most
intimately are most willing to trust
him most implicitly-so, in that con-
nection Mr. Holland is most" man;
and on the character and reputation
he has made Lexington, he hopes to
get the votes when they are counted
after the election. Mr.. Holland pledges
himself, if elected Mayor, to do the
very best that may lie in his power
for the schools, the finances, the NOR
atty and the general welfare of Lex
lngton.
