Editor Leader Our party did itself
proud by nominating good, clean,
honest, well qualified Democrats Tor
senator, congressman, governor and
Legislative candidates IN our August
primary. Better candidates could
not have been named. No one can
find any feasible excuse not to sup
port them They will make officials
that will be an honor to our nation,
state and party, and will compare
favorably with those Of any other
state.
Hon. Kenneth Mcclellan, our pres
ent Junior senator, is an able man
and looks after the interests of his
constituents, both state and nation.
He is a true friend of our ex-soldiers,
who risked their lives overseas in our
late worlds great war for their
country, humanity and the worlds
democracy. He is for them being
paid good bonus for their noble
work. In fact, he is the most cap
able man we could have in the SEN
ate, and his constituents showed their
appreciation of his work by the big
majority they rolled up for him in
our August primary.
The Tenth congressional district
could have no better Democrat to
represent them than the Hon. Hubert
Fisher in our national Congress-. He
is an able, influential man and never
fails to get anything he goes after
for his people and district. If every
district of Tennessee was represented
by such an able, influential man as
Congressman Fisher other states
would stand up and take notice Of
her and she would rank among our
progressive, influential states. The
people of the Tenth district recognize
Congressman Fishers worth and
will send him back to Congress by
the largest vote in November ever
received by any candidate.
Our nominee for governor, Hon.
Austin Peay, is a fine lawyer, good
up-to-date farmer and a shrewd bust
ness man, and has all the qualities
to make us one among the best bust
ness governors we have ever had.
His fine vote by his appreciative con-
stituency in every section of our
state in the August primary shows
plainly what our people think of him
We bespeak for him an administra-
tion that will be an honor to our
state and people, and that each and
every state department will be re-
organized and put on sound bust
ness basis, our burdensome taxes re-
duced, our schools and highways
made better. He will straighten out
the tangled affairs of our state that
has been brought about by the negli-
gence, stupidity and incompetency
of cold Timber"
The Hon. Porter Dunlap, our nomi-
nee for railroad commissioner, IS a
man well qualified for the position to
which he aspires. With him and Gen
Harvey Hannah on the utility board,
the people and utilities will be treat
ed fair and in an honorable manner.
The men nominated for the legisla-
ture are all worthy men and are fit
for the positions to which they are
nominated. They are all good, fine
Democrats, and will look after our
interests by repeating all bad laws
and enacting good ones in their place.
reducing our high taxes, repeating our
eight per cent. interest law, making
better and more effective school and
highway laws and, above all, doing
away with our grating back tax
attorneys,
With such nominees as these are,
our party and people will be safe in
their hands, and no one need hesitate
to give them their support in the No
yember election.
The only objection that any mem
Der of the opposing party can have
against them is, they are Democrats.
