LAW1R OE MOC "CBY ALOUD AND SPAKE NOT" Volume xxix. LAWRENCEBURG TENNESSEE, WEDNESDAY, 'MARCH 12. 1913. NUMBER 27 RAT City Election I wish to thank those of our j who hT elicited me to become can didate for Mayor of our town, and ap- fireclate the confidence they had In me a believing me qualified for auch poaition. After declining the ofler made me, I afterwards without any protest allowed my name to be placed on the ticket for alderman I declined the first offer for the reason that it would not be beat for any one at closely related with oar High Hchoel as I am, to become connected or Involved with the management of our city, under the present conditions. In the second case when I allowed It to be done, I never thought of the councilman's place a being so much complicated as the other, but 1 find, if a man does bit duty that Jhe responsibility is almost as great. In view of th's, I therefore have re quested my name to be taken off the ticket. If I know myself I want to be for the beat Interests of the town. It needs the cooperation of all. I want to aee a town with it's factories and business in teresta extended; a good sidewalk system; a street system built on scien tific plans; a school system as good as the best; a moral and upright citizen ship all pulling together , We cannot get these at once but commence now Why cannot our our people unite on these things and bring them to pass.

Garrett was In NbviPe the firm r,t H o ( V is no Issue A careful and conscientious re. view of the municipal campaign leads eminently to the conclusion that there is no issue worthy of counideration between the contend ng parties which have tickets in the field. Tne Union last week, stated, (by authority presumably) tdat the Issae is as to whether or not the Scott Survey" lawsuit ought to have been appealed to the Supreme l.rtMt A l.i nA t vvui. a mud ui uu rei zk in.il There .1.. this question has now reached the stage that it is purely academic. and that the result of the election for city officials will not effect . it in auy way. Whether the appeal, ing of this bait was right or wrong is not now at issue; the fact is that it has been appealed and will in due tiuue be finally Daespd mmn i for all time to come; and this fact is true, no matter which ticket wins on tomorrow. It may be true Itml this suit should have gone no mrther than the chancery cuur ; this paper is of that opinion; indeed wt go further thau that and tay, that as we see it the suit ought never to have been brought at all. It has been, and conld nnt but have been, expensive to both litigants. But while this all may be true, yet the suit was brought it was appealed to the higher courts, and no human court or council can now change this inex orable fact of history, nor now save the loser from the costs, nor the winner from expense, The "New Board" ticket has put out a platform, but in it all, from end to end, there is nothing that is, or can be an issue, in the campaign. They declare in favor of economy and business like methods to the end that the city's credit be re established. That every man de sires and doubtless it has no stronger advocate than the oppos ing ticket. This platform favors the "Scott Survey" modified to meet the conditions of different localities and the convenience of the citizens. This is the very plan pursued by the "Old Board" ticket in the past and doubtless has their hearty endorsement. It opposes tearing up the sidewalks, (who would not?) and building others where needed and desired and paid for by the property owners, and so does everyone else. It favors mak ing the water and light plant pay and not selling it, and every party and faction says, "Amen!" It ad. vocates the upbuilding of Law renceburg, and if there be any who do not, they will please stand un til they are counted. The whole aSair is farcical a veritable tejQ pest in a teapot. This platform is only a peurile elaboration of tne humorists couplet, which says, "Don't say nothing unless you're compelled to, And then don't say nothing you can be held to.'
