to the negro, is perhaps farfetched,
the remark can well be taken as in
dicative of the spirit Of revolt that
is within the breast Of the average
negro in the state One off most
prominent professional and business
negro men IN the State Of Tennessee,
who lives ia Nashville, and was born,
educated and has lived in the state
all his life, expressed the opinion that
the majority of the negroes with
whom he had talked were really afraid
that If the independent Democrats
and Republicans got in power they
would attempt to disfranchise the
negro in the state.
"This man, who, for business rea-
sons does not want his name men
toned, remarked that Austin Peay
had been very friendly to the negro
and had given him Justice, and that
Congressman Byrns had simply been
just to the negroes, as he had been to
every other element Of the citizenship
of the district, and that even if
Republican governor was elected,
conditions for the negro could be no
better"

GwINN EXPECTS VICTORY

Hon. d. p. Gwinn, of this city,
recently a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor, Sat
urday issued the following statement
on the political situation, which was
| published in the Sunday News Seim-
itar;
This is a Democratic year. Ten
nessee is a Democratic state and there
is therefore no good reason why it
should not return to the Democratic
fold.
"There is some apathy, but no dis
affection in the ranks of the party
i'm West Tennessee. There are no
sore spots as result Of the recent
primary, and West Tennessee Demo-
Gratis are united in the support Of all
the party nominees.
"The Republicans are not merely
apathetic; they are sick. They are
sick over the administrative failures
Of President Harding and the blunder-
ing record of Republican Congress.
The record of the Republican majority
in that Congress will find new apollo
gies and no defenders outside Of its
membership. The country would
have been better off if that Congress
had adjourned sine die the first day
of the session. AS a part of its
reputation Of the national Republic
can administration, Tennessee will re-
turn K. D. Mcclellan to the United
States Senate by an unprecedented
majority, and replace Brown, Clouse
and Scott with Democratic congress
men.
$50 far as state offices are con-
cerned, Dunlap will be an easy win
ner over Beasley, and Peay should
win over Taylor by an old-time Demo-
cratic majority. On state, as well as
on national issues, the keynote of
the Republican campaign will be an
apology. Gov Taylor has made bet
ter music and chased more foxes than
President Harding, but as an ex-
ecutive it would be difficult to de-
termine which was the greater fail
ure. The chief legacy Of Gov. Taylor's
administration to that of his sue
cessor, Mr.. Peay, will be a million
dollar deficit. In his prediction
campaign Gov. Taylor promised tax
reforms and efficient government,
but the state has had neither during
his administration, and the only hope
of reduced taxes and better govern
ment in Tennessee lies in the election
Of a Democratic governor and an in
telligent and dependable legislature
to uphold his hands Thoughtful peo-
pile realize this and out of this real
ization will come a great Democratic
victory next November.
"There is no reason why any
Democrat in Tennessee should sulk in !
his tent this year and few, if any, will |
adopt such an attitude. My services !
are at the command Of the party and
my plea to the Democratic men and
women of the state is to rally behind
the leadership of Chairman Byrns
and his efficient corps of assistants
and elect all the party nominees h.
such a majority that Tennessee will !
not again be considered doubtful
state"
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1922-10-05
PEAY AT MURFREEsBORO

Aupstin Peay, Democratic nominee
for governor, opened his campaign
at Murfreesboro Saturday before a
splendid audience. His speech at
tracted much favorable comment.
He came out unequivocally for the
abolition of the state tax department
and equalization board and declared
that "the back tax system in its en-
tiretY must 60" said demanded the
repeal of the eight per cent. law and
the reorganization Of the highway de-
partment from top to bottom.
He announced that he favored re-
lieving the railroad commission of
its power to, abrogate contracts and
franchises between cities and utility
companies. He declared that he would
demand law that will bring per-
sonal property out of its place Of hid
ing, where it can be properly assessed
for taxation.
On the question of poll tax for
women, he declared while he had OPP
posed woman suffrage, he favored
making women liable for poll tax the
same as men and that he would not
encourage women to shirk to evade
the ballot. On the subject of organ
lied labor he declared that he is a
riend of union labor, but "if | become
governor of this state | will know no
classes, but to the limit of my ability
and according to my conscience, |
will evenly administer law and JUS
tice to all. If occasion shall arise
where it becomes necessary to main
tain order by supplementing local
authority with troops, ] shall unhesi-
tatingly use them. But before doing
so | will go over the ground and learn
the situation for myself; | will need
no representative to tell me-"
He declared himself in favor of |
better support for rural schools and
as friend of the state university,
normals and high schools. He
pledged himself to support the Con-
federate soldiers with great generos-
ity.
Concerning national issues, he de-
clared that Senator Mcclellan would
handle them.
"Let others discuss national issues
in this compaign," he declared. II
have not studied them. My mind is
intent on better government in Ten
nessee."
In conclusion he said:
''The result of this contest has never
disturbed me. MY candidacy from
the outset has been in Difference to a
feeling that | wanted to give a part
Of my life to my state. Nothing has
been in my mind except to crafty
that sense of service and to promote
the highest interests Of our people.
Diligence has been used toward the
truth of every matter and question on
which have sought to influence pub
lie Judgment, that no injustice might
be done and that substantial and last
ing benefit might follow from the
changes and reforms | have urged.
"My asperation is for a new order
in which higher standards Of public
service may prevail. You have heard
the faith that is in me. My conf
denee in the people is implicit, and |
leave the issues in their hands"

GOV. TAYLOR OFFICIATES
AT SONS WEDDING

When Gov ALI Taylor officiated at
the marriage of his son, David Haynes
Taylor, last Thursday, he was in step
with a precedent established by his
lamented and in memory beloved Our
Bob" one of whose almost forgotten
distinctions was that of being the first
governor of Tennessee to perform a
marriage ceremony. 1t was back in
1887 when as governor for the first
time in the history of the state-the
marriage rites were performed by the
chief executive
The groom on that ceremonious Oc-
casion was Pryor Carter, Of Macon
county, known throughout the state
as the "tall sycamore of the Wabash,
and a member of the senate from that
county. Prior to 1887 there was no
law permitting the governor to Off
ciate at a marriage, but Senator Car
ter, out of the abundance of his love
and admiration for then Gov. Bob
Taylor, wished the boon companion
and friend to appear in that role, and
in order to crafty the wish the be-
loved governor was instrumental in
having enacted by the legislature,
then in session, law authorizing the
governor to perform the ceremony.
"Parson" Brownlow, as governor,
years before had officiated at the
marriage of his son, James P. Brown
low, to the daughter of DR.. D. B.
Cliff, of Franklin, Williamson county,
but Gov. Brownlow was a licensed
preacher before he became governor.
The only other Tennessee executive to
perform the marriage ceremony while
in office was former Gov Roberts
