He would not close his eyes and deliberately come to a
wrong conclusion. At least we dq not think he would. We credit him with
more honesty than that.
The President, we will say in extenuation of his mistake, has been mis
informed; and that, too. by advisors he had the right to put his trust in.
The Hon. Cordell Hull, for one. Mr. Hull is the National Committeeman i
from Tennessee; and by virtue of that office stands high in the counsels
of the party, both at home and abroad. But Mr. Hull has always been "for
the party." Right and wrong play no pan in the game with Mr. Hull. '
"Right or wrong I'm for my party," is Mr. Hull's religion. No issues have
ever divided Mr. Hull from his party. Nothing save death ever will. If it !
be grape Juice they hand him on a platform plank, he will take it, smaca '
his mouth and smile most blandly ; If it be red liquor unadulterated. Q r j
white mountain Juice, so it has the party brand, it tastes Just as good to
Mr. Hull. A nice gentleman, and a good fellow, is Cordell Hull, but a rabid,
yellow dog Democrat. Never having sympathized with the "dividing is
sues," it was quite easy, not to say natural, for Mr. Hull to advise the Pres
ident that they had all been settled.
■
Both Senators likewise were hiB advisors; Senators Lea and Shields. It
is a bit difficult to understand how Senators Lea and Shields, and "they
are both honorable men," can give such advice, and "read their titles
clear." The first big split in the party came when Mr. Shields framed
ta Independent Democrat and Republican "fusion" by which this self-same
i Senator was elected to the Supreme Bench in Tennessee. He rode into of
fice on the "fusion" wave. He was bitterly assailed by the very "regulars"
whose cause he is now espousing. He could not have been elected without the
patriotic aid of thousands of Democrats who never before had scratched a
conn
up
Democratic ticket, but who, put to the Issue, declared they loved their
try and a «lau Judiciary hotter than they did their party. Judge Shields,
than any other an« mu In
•see, was responsible for that split
the temperance wing of the demo*
And yet
wtth tha same taeuea dividing the party now ae then, he goee to the Preei
~r dent and advisee him to Inte rc ede In behalf of tha regular wing of the party.
Noxt to Senator Sbleldi, Senator Lea waa perhaps the Most blatant
^ ^fusioniat In Tennessee—Just n little while ago. As a leader in the ranks of
' 'be fusion lata he became prominently mentioned as a candidate for the sen
ate, ul landed. It is true that he had to borrow two or three votes from
& Çr"£Qp, the leader of the whisky forces, to put himself over, but he
borrowed fS&m In decency and order, and barring these his entire strength
came from the "fusionists." And the dividing issues are the same uow as
tbeo, though the "Baby" Senator advises the Prfisidèttt to the contrary.
tn the party; that first fUsloa b<
«ratio party and the temp snap rn wing at the republican party.
II la folljr to say that these issues are settled. If they are settled, why
la it and how is It that the President must be appealed to to settle any
thing? The very fact that the party is so divided that the National Com
mitteeman and both senators feel constrained to appeal ti) the President to
V IntfetVene to stop the factional war, shows that the War is still on in deadly
a
'r : harnest; and will any sensible man contend tbat other men, naturally con
strained to follow the political flag they have followed all their lives, will
, desert it and align themaeivea with their ancient political enemies over
nothing?
Cite —ein issue dividing the democrats, and for that matter the repub
licans ns well, in Tennessee, is the prohibition question; and that ques
tion la no more settled today than It was nettled the day the law was
* passed. It should have been settled the da? the law was passed; but it
was not. The liquor cohorts, composed of a large army of dive-keepers,
crooked politicians and a few misguided mottbacks who are still jealous
of their "personal rights," refused to obey the law. And the fight went on.
They are still refusing; and the fight is still going on. The same crooked
politicians who have served the whisky Interest all these years,—Judas
Iscariot Cox, Putrefaction Worley and others of their ilk, are still running
E.,, for office, and still being nominated and will be elected by the same old
red nose gang. That they are making weak promises to be good, carries
no weight, cuts no ice, whatever. Neither Lea nor Shields nor Hull would
believe Cox or Worley on oath, so far as politics goes, and though they
SWear until they are black in the face, they cannot make anybody else be
Move that they believe that the issues which divided them in the past from
riY..ifttesri political bunco eteerers do not divide them from the people now.
' Cox and Worley and Crump and Howse may have made their peace with
Lea and Shields (or it may be the other way round), but they have not
■BigJMMlfi. their peace with the law-loving and law-abiding temperance demo
clats of Tennessee, and never can. They have got not only to be whipped,
but they have got to holler 'nough, and get out of the game, before the
"issues that divide the party are settled."
Juat to test the question, Mr. President. Suppose you call Boss Crump
Memphis and ex-Senator Webb of Bell Buckle to Washington and ask
to write a platform and nominate a candidate for all the Democrats
rapt support, and see if they can agree. Bose Crump would let Senator Webb
im^tite the platform and write it "os he damn pleases," (that's the way Boss
would express It.) But when they came to nominate a man to stand
■^■ppp that platform and honestly carry out its promises, Senator Webb
Kflmld wont a true man, an honest man, a conscientious, God-fearing man,

Ulj H badge an inch. That's how settled the Issue is, Mr. President, and
VMjWHld find that condition all over the state and all through the party;
the line. And Lea and Shields and Hull all know it. Mr. Presi

Made Strong by Vinol.
So many cases like this are coming
to our attentiaon for the benefit of
fathers and mothers of weak, sickly,
ailing children in this vicinity we pub
listi the following letter;
Mrs. J. P. Weatherford, Litchfield,
III., says: "We have had an invalid
child for the past nine years and un
til we began using Vinol, we some
times thought there was little hope
for him. He would have terrible
coughing spells at night, and they
would leave him so exhausted. We
tried every thing, but to no avail. At
last some one suggested that we try
Vinol, and we noticed a change in
him from the very first. The cough -1
lug spells ceased and he gained in
^strength right along. We would not
be Without it and would advise par
ents who have frtlii and weakly chil
dren to try Vinol."
This is because the child needed the
strengthening cod liver elements and
the tonic iron that Vinol contains. No
oil, delicious taste. Children love It.
We give back your money if Vinol
does not benefit.—The Century Drug
Store, Hattiesburg, Miss.
