LTpon a call of the chairman, and
secretary of he Democratic Executixe
Committee of Putnam County met in
the courthouse on Saturday, May 2,
and in pursuance of requirements "of
the state committee called an old
time Democratic convention to meet
in Cookeville to instruct for Demo
cratic candid' es for Governor and
Railroad Commissioner and appoint
delegates to the Democratic State con
vention to be held on May 26 and 27.
All Democrats who are interested in
the success of the party and want to
see Democratic rule again are not only
requested but urged To come and
br'ng their neighbors with them. It
is hoped that we may have one or
two good speakers on that occosion
and a large crowd is expected.
Every Democrat who wants to go to
the state convention should give or
send in his name to the chairman' or
secretary so that he may be placed up
on the list. The state convention will
in all probability be the largest held
In Nashville in many years and Put
nam county should be well represent
ed. The following resolutions endorse-
ing the candidacy of our neigbborXthe state as
Judge A. H. Roberts for Governor
and our countryman Geo. N. Welch
for Railroad Commissioner were unan
imously adopted:
Whereas, the Democracy of Put
nam County Is tired of Republican
domination and rule in Tennessee, a
Southern,, and, under normal' condit
ions, a true Southern and largely
Democratic State, and while we deep
ly deplore the fact that our party has
been divid d during the last few years
by reason of which dissensions alone,
and not by merit, the Republican par
ty has ascended to power and given us
an era of misrule and extravagance;
but, we rejoice in the fact that no real
cause longer exists for further discord
and dissensions in our own ranks,
which is so regarded and recognized
by all fair minded, cool and unprej
udiced Democrats, so that we still
have an abiding faith in the Democ
racy of Tennessee; and, we further
rejoice in the fact that Honorable A.
H. Roberts, one of our noblest, most
gifted and talented sons, offers him
self to the party as its candidate for
Governor. We commend him to all
Democrats of Tennessee, as one of the
ablest truest and most patriotic. We
believe Judge Roberts is the man a-
bove all men for this occasion. He is
one upon whom all Democrats can
unite, regardless of past affiliations.
None, who desire an able, conBCien
we so commend him to all Democrats
of Tennessee. We sincerely believe
that if the Democrats of Tennessee
t'ous and clean administration, need
fear him.. None who rally to his sup
port and fight under his banner, we
dare say, will ever regret it. He is
able, conscientious, true and brave,
and we believe he is the Moses to lead
us out of this confusion, misgovern-
ment, misrule and extravagance, and
do their duty and nominate Judge' Rob
erts as the standard bearer of the par
ty, that he will not only be trium
phantly elected, but that Republican
ism of Tennessee in our State govern
ment will be only a thing of history.
Whereas, The Democrats of Putnam
County are rejoiced that there is unity
once more in the Democracy of Ten
nessee, and the ever disturbing and
disrupting licquor question is at last
settled by all parties and faction de
claring for the maintance and strict
enforcement of all temperance laws,
and
Whereas, our good citizen, George
N. Welch, of Monterey, this county,
after much solicitation upon the part
of his friends over the State, has been
induced to announce his candidacy
for Railroad Commissioner of Middle
Tennessee.
Threfore . be 't resolved by the
Democratic Executive Committee of
Putnam County, that we commend our
worthy citizen to the Democracy of
a man worthy of any
trust. Possessing traits of character
that should commend him to the best
ciizenhip of Tennessee as one peculi
arly fitted for the office he seeks. -
Men of ability and business experi
ence should be put forward to repre
sent the great state of Tennesse in
coping with Railroad and other pub
lic service corporations, and notwith
standing the fact that Mr. Welch is
comparatively a yaung man, he has
been very successful in private busl
nesse and is capable of representing
the state of Tennessee upon any oc
casion ad against any foe.
He was oe of the advanced apostles
of good-roads, and served with credit
to himself as one of the Commission
ers in the building f pikes in Putnam
County. He served with distinction
and marked ability in the State Sen
ate of 1913 from this the Tenth Sena
torial ' District, and the people of the
Upper Cumberland Section are willing
to back him for anything he wants,
because they know that he can be
trusted on any and all occasions, and
that neith r, money or promotion can
turn him from what i Bright, or the
interest of his people.
We believe that his nomination will
be worth more to the Democratic
ticket than any other man the party
could name, and he will put more vim
and energy into the Commissioner's
race than has ever been seen before,
George N. Welch is a hustler and
we, this countrymen are proud of him

"A Cace of Suspension", as present
ed" by the senior class of the Baxter
Seminary drew a crowd ' Tuesday
night that more than filled every a-
vailable seat at tbe Seminary building.
A small admission fee was charged
and the only comment on this fee was
that it was much too small for the
character of the entertainment pro
vided. "A Case of Suspension" . was
the crowning feature of the work of
senior class in connection with the
first annual commencement of the
Semiary. The play is a rollicking
two-act comedy depicting college life,
and the parts as played by the stud
ents reflected great credit on each one
and showed in an exceptional manner
the genius and ability of Prol. C. E.
Austint under whose direction the play
was given.
The play sets forth the complicat
ions in which a set of college girls
and boys find thedselves upon having
the'r plans for a little "spree" dis
covered by the faculty. The plot is
well conceived and the situations are
side-splitting. Miss Douglas Nichols
does exceptional work as Miss Ophelia
Judkins, a member of the faculty, and
Mr. George Parsley, as Prof. Edgerton,
does his full duty in furnishing amuse
ment. As to the other characters,
Prof. Austin, who has had wide ex
perience in staging plays and who has
at other times put on "A Case of Sus
pension," declares that he has never
before seen it so well interpreted.
Long and careful training has left lit
tle room for improvement in any of
tbe parts and as a result the first play
has established a standard which it
will be difficult for future classes of
the Seminary to maintain.
The play Tuesday was augmented
by an interesting musical program,
the most effectice number of which
was probably the serenade introduced
as a fart of the plot of tbe play. Oth
er musical numbers were rendered by
students of the musical department
and were well received. College songs
introduced in the play are the sort that
are whistled for days afterwards.
a capacity house w'tnessed a splendid
program g'ven by the students of the
grades under the direction of Mis3 Le
ona Byrne and Miss Ova Boyd. On
Sunday morning the baocalaureate
sermon was delivered by President S.
E. Ryan from the text found lnPhil.
4:8. On Monday night, in spite of a
downpour of rain, an audience of over
two hundred heard an interesting and
close declamatory contest for the pre
sident's prize of ten dollars. The
prizes of five, three and two dollars ,
were awarded to Mis. Berta Tallant,
Miss Maud Jared and Miss Eula Max
well. On Wednesday night the com
mencement address was delivered by
Prof. G. W. Dyer of Vanderbilt' Uni
versity. At hat time the first cla s
of the Seminary was formally gradu
ated. The members of the class of
the Seminary are Misses Etta Whit
aker, Bertha Richardson, Elmo Nich
ols, Douglass Nichols, Electra Nichols,
Edna Brassell and Mesar-. Ernest '
Harris and George Parsley.
One way to relieve habitual consti
pation is to take regularly a mild lax
ative. Doan's Regulets are recommen
ded for this purpose. 25c a box at all
drug -tores.
Commencement exercises for the
Seminary were started on Fr'day when
