INFANCY PLEA MADE BY
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

perienced, beardless youths of tender
age to defend them and protect them
from the wrath of a decent citizen
ship.
The Banner is greatly astounded at
this admission on the part of Mr..
Peay that there was ever time in
his life when he did not claim for
himself superior intellectual attain
ments and great wisdom. Judging
from the arrogant egotism displayed
during the present campaign, we had
assumed that Mr.. Peay was like Tim
othy, who "knew the Scriptures from
a child up"
This paper is pioneer in Tennes-
see in fighting the evils of back tax
alton. 1t has been relentless and un-
Isparing in its opposition to the pres
ct system. So, our criticism of Mr..
Peay cannot be twisted into defense
of the back tax evil in Tennessee.
We earnestly desire to see its COM
lplete destruction and an honest sys-
tenn established for the collection of
delinquent taxes. 1t goes without
saying that some method-some COM
pulsory arrangement--must exist to
compel those to pay their taxes in
this State who do not willingly do
so.
Mr.. Peay's record as a member of
the Legislature and some of his ut
terances as a candidate since for
Governor are calculated to make the
people unwilling to follow him blind
ly on this subject without knowing
at this time what his exact position
is and what excuse he has to offer
for the record he made for himself
as a member of the Legislature.
What guarantee can he give that, if
trusted with official power, he will
not repeat his record of 19032
1t is true that Mr.. Peay has de-
clared in this campaign for the de-
struction Of the bask-tax system
which he created, and he says that
his position is we'll known on this
subject-that his views were stated
throughout the State in his campaign
in 1918. In 1918 he said.
"The appointment of these agents
should be taken from the Comptroller
and system of back assessment
should be devised which will permit
the exercise of this power in
straightforward and satisfactory
manner"
His position at that time seems to
have been not to destroy the revenue
agents, but simply take their appoint
ment out of the hands of the Comp
troller and place it somewhere else.
He did not say where. Perhaps he
wants to appoint these agents him
self. This is a power mo good Gov
ernor would want and no bad Gov
ernor should have"
But the purpose of this article is
to impress upon the voters the char
acter of reply Mr.. Peay made at Win
chester to this serious charge made
by Governor Taylor.
The Tennessean's candidate for
Governor will have to make a more
satisfactory defense than to simply
lie a "plea Of infancy" Otherwise
he voters may overrule his plea on
he ground of "insuffciency."-

Supreme Arrogance
OF MIR. Austin Peay

One of the outstanding features OF
the present campaign for Governor in
this state which has caused thousands
of cautious, conservative citizens to
stop, look and listen"-and ponder
seriously the temperament of the man
lis the arrogant defiance of Mr.. Peay
toward every individual and influence
in the state that does not rush quickly
to his support and humbly beg his
permission to vote for him. He has
hurled defiance at practically every
body and everything political, official
and governmental, in the state except
those who are supporting him.
He defies the Federal Bureau of
Good Roads, which has announced
after months of daily contact with the
State Highway Department that Ten
nessee has the best highway depart
ment in the South. He threatens the
humiliation of this department. In
denouncing it in his opening speech at
Murfreesboro he had the following to
say:
"We cannot get Federal aid without
a highway department, but if we can
not have a better department we had
better abandon the whole business"
Of course, Mr.. Peay, rank out
slider, who perhaps has never been a
visitor at the Highway Department
and knows but little, if anything, Of
the inside workings thereof, is, owing
to his superior intellectual attain
ments which he so often modestly
better qualified to pass inn
partial judgment on this department
than is the Bureau Of Good Roads,
which supervises constantly the work
of this and all other highway depart
ments in the United States.
Mr.. Peay goes to the radical ex-
IRENE of being willing to forfeit and
lose to the state of Tennessee mil
lions of dollars annually which the
Federal Government is contributing
and which belong to Tennessee for
the asking rather than to have the
of highways in the
hands of those who will not bow
down to him politically and serve
him.
Next he defies the Constitution and
his oath of office. He admits that
he Constitution commands that |
shall be assessed at its
value; he knows that his oath of |
,ffice will bind him to uphold the
Constitution. And yet he quotes this
provision defantly-
lays that he is fully aware of that
but with utter contempt
'or constitutional restrictions pro-
,laims his opposition to it.
He declares that "the present tax

payment for fertilizers sold the farm.
ers. Austin Peay voted for this bill
This great protector and defender oil
the farmer voted to give fertilizer
trusts a mortgage on the crop OF
each farmer who bought fertilizer
from these trusts.
Farmers Of Tennessee would do
well to compare the record of Austin
Peay, the lawmaker, with the prom
Uses of Austin Peay, the candidate.
Indeed, it appears from an analy-
sis of the vote in the primary that
the farmers have already made this
comparison. Mr.. Peay cannot claim
to be the nominee of the farmers.
1t appears that the farmers really
supported Gov. McMillin in the pri-
mary. The farmers, in fact, had
Gov. McMillin nominated until he
reached Memphis. Piggy Wiggly
took the nomination away from the
farmers and gave it to Mr.. Peay.

W. N. Beasley, Republican nomi-
nee for Railroad and Public Utilities
Commissioner, has pledged his efforts
as a member of the Commission to
reduction of the exorbitant rates
now charged by some Of the public
utilities in the State. At the instance
of Mr.. Beasley the Commission has
made an investigation of the rates
charged by street car, gas and cleo
tric light and power companies, and
this investigation shows the rates
are excessive. IL Mr.. Beasley is
elected, his efforts viii be to see they
are reduced. He is now on q speak
ing tour of the State and is meeting
with large crowds and great encour-
agement.

PEAYS ROASTING

Mr.. Peay seems to forget, or
doesn't know, that there are limita-
tons to executive authority. II he
could do all he claims he will do If
elected Governor, he would be the
envy of every ruler in the world.
Bunk and hokum are the words. His
claims are an insult to the intelli-
gence of the electorate of Tennessee.

on this distracting subject, l choose
at the outset of the campaign to state
them beyond misunderstanding, and
in simple Difference to truth and can
DOR"
Mr.. Peay states further that he
considers the liquor question settled
in Tennessee, at least until the people
discovered their mistake; but every
intelligent citizen knows that the
liquor question is not settled in Ten
nessee and never will be settled as
long as the bootleggers and former
liquor men and their friends are ac-
tive in their efforts to sell liquor ille-
gally or to bring about legislation
friendly to light wines and beer.
l agree with the candidate, Mr..
Peay, that the personal views of a
candidate for the office of Governor
are of great moment to the people
of Tennessee at this time.
| have never been able to forget
the fact that Immediately after the
murder of Senator Carmack on the
streets of Nashville this same Aus
tin Peay, who is now asking for the
support of the friends of the dead
Senator, called together his liquor
committee for the purpose of devils
ing ways and means to defeat tenn
perance legislation and to carry on
the battle in which Senator Car
mack lost his life, and am not will
ing to forget that Immediately after
this crime was committed Mr.. Peay,
so | am reliably informed, and was
so informed at the time, went to the
jail in company with members of the
family of the slayers of Senator Car
mack and called upon the prisoners
there.
II was reported also and commonly
believed that when one Of the slay-
ers of Senator Carmack received
pardon by Gov. Patterson, Mr.. Peay,
receiving the information, stated that
the Governor had done the right
thing, and that If he had been Gov.
ernor he would have granted the par
don also, but would have granted 1t
before the trial.

PARTY REACHED BACK.

1t may be stated that these mat.
tiers should be forgotten, and | think
they ought to be forgotten, and
would not be disposed to reach back
into the dark days of the last battles
that legalized liquor in Tennessee
and call forth images of that
struggle except for the fact that the
Democratic party, for whose candi-
dates have been voting, with one
exception, for forty years, has itself
reached back into those gloomy days
and brought out candidate who was
the head and front of the fight
against decency and clean politics in
tennessee and offered him as a can
didate for the great office of Gov
ernor.
| shall not take an active part in
this campaign because / am not now
in politics, but I do not feel that I
would be true to myself, the things
for which l have stood in Tennessee
for quarter of century, nor true
to the memory of those valiant SOL
diers and statesmen who won this
fight if / should sit quietly and al
low this election to pass without en-
tering my protest against what
deem a defamation of the character
OF those heroes both living and dead.
Mr.. Peay, in his announcement for
the office of Governor, says that he
not only opposed prohibition in Ten
nessee, but that he opposed woman
suffrage. II was unnecessary for Mr..
Peay to make either of these acknowl.
edgements, for the people already
knew that he gave his utmost
and influence to the defeat
Of these two progressive steps in
American legislation. Looking back
over Mr.. Peay's record in Tennessee
It is easy to understand why he
should oppose woman suffrage with
all his might, for after making a
record like his he would naturally
,hudder when he thought of giving
he good women of Tennessee a !
chance at him.

RECOVERING FROM OPERATION

to be with Mrs. Beller during her
illness, Mrs. Beller went to a hos
pital in Minneapolis over a month
ago to be operated on for cancer,
and has suffered a siege of serious
illness and had several operations
performed. After the operation for
cancer she was taken with pneu-
monia and moved from the cancer
hospital to st. Mary's. After about
two weeks it was found that an oper-
alton on has tonsils was necessary
and at the same time a tumor and
the appendix were removed. Then
as an after effect of tonsil trouble,
an abcess formed in her head and
an operation was performed for this.
While Nh. Beller was there he was
suddenly attacked by appendicitis
and was operated on March IL, the
operation showing that the appendix
had burst. While still very weak
when he reached home he felt that
he was well on the way to complete
recovery. He expects that Mrs. Bel
Ter will be sufficiently recovered to
