give the people Of Tennessee his idel
as to how the commission should b,
run, something Of his legal training
and ability to fill the position, and
what he intended or expected to do
for the people Of Tennessee if ele.
waited to this high and honorable posi-
ton; also explain to the people of
Tennessee what bearing the League
of Nations or any other national ques.
ton has to do with the Railroad and
Public Utilities Commissioners OF
Tennessee. The people are entitled
TO know these things and they are
far more interested in the ability and
fitness of the man they elect to state
positions like this than they are in
his being a disciple of Woodrow VIII.
son, Warren G. Harding or any one
Else, or whether he is for or against
the League of Nations. Such mat
ters as these have no bearing or con
iection with the Railroad Commits
sion.
All the people want to know with
reference to this matter is that who.
ever they may elect will be thor.
oughly fitted and qualified to properly
discharge their duties as such Com.
nissioners. My opponent in his an
nouncement outlines nothing, says
iothing, offers nothing and promises
nothing to the people in regard to
he office for which he is running. In
mis- announcement he scars aloft far
beyond the reach Of the limited vision
of man. He surveys the moon and
plucks the stars, but at last he re-
;urns to earth and leaves all who
read his announcement in utter ignor-
ance of what he was intending to set
out or what he would do if elected to
the Commission. / repeat that wish
every voter in Tennessee had a copy

ument.

If elected to this commission for

at my post of duty and assure the

just and fair consideration at my
hands as well as speedy hearing,
and my only object and interest on
he Commission shall be to see that
he interest of all the people at all
times will be zealously guarded and
fully conserved. I can promise no
more, | can do no more.
Upon these declarations and promi-

hearty accord with his ideas and his
