JACKSON. We are authorised to announce W
H. (Ellis) Jackson a candidate for Trustee of
Onion County, subject to the action of the
Democratic party. Election first Thursday in
AuiiUM., 1-16.
Tim closing of the campaign here was
marked by some very busy work by the
Rye Clul) and, though full of enthusi
asm; Democrat went about it quietly
and carefully and saw that ample prepa
rations were made for the convenience
of the voters. Monday night the Rye
Club met for a rally at the courthouse,
and JJod. Rice A. Fierce spoke and
made a good one.. Kb had prepared a we are fighting for in Tennessee against
not the Republican party of to-day, but I Supreme Bench, does not practice in the
the party of the people, virtually the
Democratic party, which grew out of the
differences engendered by the Federal
ists, that same party which survives to
day and is known as the Democratic
party. With Thomas Jefferson the
principles of this party were soon re
stored to the government in all the
pristine glory of independence, and they
have stood and survive to-day while all
the Federalism and all others isms have
come and gone. Andrew Jackson, the
great bulwark of latter-day Democracy,
caused the name of the party to be
called Democracy, and this Democracy,
the Democracy of Jefferson, Jackson,
Woodrow Wilson and William Jennings
Bryar, lives tc-Jay, not only in the or
ganization, but in the hearts and lives of
the Americau people. The late Re
publican party was organized only 54
years ago, a progeny of the war drama.
It is the principles of Democracy

at home with .legal matters, which he
could not leave. After the speech Little

Pierce with a beautiful bouquet in a
neat little speech. The little girl is a
daughter of Judge Kenney, and is a very
wouderful musician.
Democratic Victory.
The result of the present campaign
was a forgone conclusion from the time
Judge Williams barely received a ma
jority over Judge Burrow in the August
election. The publishers of this paper
from that time never had the least
anxiety over the result in the Governor's
race. We bavo always been willing to
recognize the independent vote, and what
the Republican principles of Governor
Hooper. Tennessee has only to look
over the line in Kentucky to see the
evils internal discord. Out of this strife
Kentucky has been misrepresented with
Criminal Courts at all, and would not.
according to bis own statement, accept
a bootlegging case.
Governor Hooper wants credit for the
extension of the public school system in
Tennessee. Tennessee now devotes
thirty-three and one-third per cent of
her gross revenues to the public schools.
Before the Governor was elected this
revenue was twenty-five per cent, and
under his administration, instead of in
creasing the school term as the revenues
should do, the number of months the
pupil was in school each year has actu
ally been reduced. The increase in
revenue, however, was not due to Gov
ernor Hooper's efforts, but to the efforts
already made by the Democratic party
and tba Democratic majority in the
Legislature. The State Superintendent
now requires the princely sum of
$100,000 a year to conduct his oflice,
while under the administration of Super
intendent Mynders this sum was only
$15,000.
Judge Everett referred to Governor
Hooper's vote while a member of the
Legislature against the bill- to establish
a Confederate Soldiers' Home in Ten

Judge Williams. This vote was compli-j to enforce the law

publican Senator, but even as Kentucky,
with all these lessons before us, Tennes
see has hoisted the black flag. Tennes
see bas a Republican Governor, who,
with all bis official machine, supported
President Taft. In the hands of Gov
ernor Hooper the power to appoint has
actually become dangerous, and yet he
calls for more power. The Governor
wants the additional power to displace
officers who do not enforce the law. He
wants the power to build up a bigger
vide supplies for this home. He thought
it was an insult for Governor Hooper to
pat any old Confederate soldier on the
shoulder.
The funding of the'State debt by call
ing in notes at 7 per cent, was charac
terized by Governor Hooper's incom
petency. These bonds should have
been funded at four per cent and caused
a saving to the State of $100,000 a year.
Governor Hooper's claim to the only
efficient agricultural department Ten

Judge Everett favored a more hu

prison, and stated in bis opinion no
profit should accrue from convict labor
to the revenues of the State, but the
surplus should go to the support of the
families of convicts.
