Crump Is Real Issue
In tennessee Race,
All Hands Agree
Mitchell and Cooper
Are Names on Ballot,
But Memphion Is at Fore
BY WARREN MCNEIL,
Wide World.


1 NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. LIN
the name-calling, charge-flinging
campaign leading up to Tennessee's
Democratic primary next Thursday,
Ill hands seem agreed on only one
thing-that the outstanding issue is
Edward Hull Crump.
Long a storm center of Tennessee
politics, Mr.. Crump has reacted
with a vigor showing the fires of
combat still burn strongly within
him, though the bushy mop Of hair
which gained him the designation
Of "the Memphis red snapper" has
turned snowy white.
The printed ballots will show In
cumbent Prentice Cooper opposed
for denomination as Governor by
j. Ridley Mitchell, former member
Of Congress and unsuccessful can
didate for the United States Senate
in 1888, and by DR.. John r. Neal,
Knoxville law school teacher who
several times has sought State
ONCE without success.
But Mr.. Mitchell, a colleague Of
Mr.. Crump when the latter was a
member of Congress, has told cam
paign audiences: There are only
two candidates in this race-Ridley
Mitchell and Ed Crump."
Crump Only Issue.
Agreeing. Probate Judge Sam o.
Bates. at the formal opening OF the
Crump organizations Memphis
campaign headquarters, asserted:
The only issue In this campaign
Is an old one. Mr.. Crump is the
issue. For a long time unworthy
men in Tennessee have sought to
make him an issue.
They (the opposition say they
don't like political bosses. but no
other community has ever had a
political boss like Mr.. Crump."
Mr.. Mitchell has said Mr.. Crump
has made the present Governor "a
mere puppet" and II think the time
has come for the ONCE OF Governor
TO be returned to the people and
the seat of government to be moved
back to the State capital from
Memphis"
sln reply. Mr.. Cooper has said he
Is proud of Mr.. Crump's backing
and has asked his audiences for a
show of hands by any who believe
Mr. Mitchell would not take the
Memphis leaders support If he could
get it.
Mitchell's Reply.
I'll admit I would like Crump's
support, just like every one else
running for ONCE would like another
flock of votes" Mr.. Mitchell has
rejoined, "but I would not sacrifice
the rights of the other "a counties
just to get the Memphis and Shelby
County support. 1t would not be
worth It,"
Mr.. Crump used large display ad-
vertisements in newspapers through
out Tennessee to state his own case.
Denying that he has attempted to
boss the State legislature or that
Shelby County containing Mem
phis) has had more than q Just
share Of benefits from the State,
Mr.. Crump said In his ads:
mo man can successfully charge
that I have ever been guilty of short
changing the taxpayers Of Memphis

Koussevitzky AssoiIs Critics
Of Young Russian Composer

ton Symphony Orchestra so ap-
praised the young Russian musician
during an interview today in which
he took sharp issue with some of
the critics who found fault with the
symphony.
Written during the recent siege
of Leningrad, with struggle and
victory of the city's toiling citizens
as its theme, and performed for the
first time in America over the radio
Evening star., 1942-08-02

two weeks ago, the symphony drew
some critical comment as being
"banal,' uneven" and program
music Others said 1t contained
tricks lacked proportion" and
was "anti-climactic." Many other
critics. however, praised 1t unre-
servedly.
Waving passionate hand OF
refutation. DR.. Koussevitzky said
that musicians and critics who
make such strong criticism today
will strongly regret in the nearest
future what they have said, for to
criticize the work Of man who is
without doubt genius, one must
listen not once but many times. It

was then called upon and in re.
sponse arose and entertained the
Convention for sometime with a
patriotic speech.
A paragraph concerning the fam
lily OF the new President. Andrew
johnson, appears in this issue. The
family resides in Nashville, Tenn.
and consists of his wife and four
children - two sons and two
daughters. His son, Robert, is %
years OF age, and Andrew Johnson,
Jr., is II. His two daughters, with
their families, also reside in Nash
VILE, having been driven from
their homes in East Tennessee.
One OF Mr. Johnson's sons (Chas.)
a surgeon in the army, was thrown
from his horse in the year 1853,
and killed, and Col. Slower, SON
in-law, commanding the Fourth
Regiment of Tennessee Infantry.

vile, while gallantly leading his
command, on the 18th of Decem-
Der, 1854. Judge Patterson, who
is also a son-in-law of the Presi-
dent, lives in Nashville. Mrs.
Johnson has been in very delicate
health for some time past, and it
is probable Mrs. Colonel Stover
will preside over the Presidential
household.
Town Meeting. Pursuant to
notice there was a meeting of the
citizens Of Hagerstown, in the
Court House, on Saturday evening.
After some preliminary discussion
a Committee of Vigilance, consist
ing OF twenty members was ap.
pointed, whose duty it should be
to look after the paroled rebel SOL
diers, late citizens of this State,
who might see fit to return to their
homes. The Committee was in
structed to inform such returned
rebels that their presence was dis
tasteful to the loyal sentiment of
he county, and to instruct them
to leave on short notice. A resolu-
ton was adopted pledging to the
Committee the support and coopera
ton of the loyal citizens.
We have no list of the committee
but we will say that they are all
old citizens on whose discretion
and judgment, we can entirely re-
ly, and no fears need be entertain
ed that they will abuse the power
vested in them.

FLINT, April 4. - That old
bronze cannon that stood for sc
many years in the park at Detroit
and Saginaw streets, may some
day find its niche in Flints hall
of fame.
Removed by the park depart
lment because the old wooden
wheels that held il up had rotted
away and collapsed. the cannon
has been in storage at park de-
partment building.
Park department officials sought
TO have iron wheels cast in order
that il could once again be placed
in the park. but the war and
priorities eliminated this for the
time being.
Today. however, the suggestion
was advanced for the recasting of
this cannon into suitable me-
mortal proposed 10 be erected
after the war in tribute 10 all of
the citys warriors.
The old cannon has quite a his
tory. Some claim ii was first used
i'm the War of 1912. then in the
Indian War and later in the Civil
War.
Ii was owned by a company Of
Batavia. ~ Y. volunteers who
used ii in the Civil War. Many
Flint men served with this outfit
during the war and later al re-
union managed 10 remove the can
non and bring il 10 Flint. The Ba-
tavians never were successful in
effecting its return.
For many years il was used here
10 fire the annual Fourth Of July
salute.
