W. P. MONROE ANNOUNCES FOB THE SENATE.
To The Republican Voters Of
Tennessee, Composed ot the Counties of Hancock, Grainger,
Claiborne, Union, Campbell, Scott and Morgan:
Two years ago I was elected your
Senator carrying every county in
the Senatorial District. At that
time I pledged to the people that
would retain on the statute book?
the Jaw tnvtne to each or my coun
ties the auto tax in equal part5
each county receiving the same as
the large ones. This I did, altho the
bill parsed the house but after tny
fight on the bill in the senate the
repealing bill was defeated. Thus
each county will receive near $9,000
from the state treasury for road re
pair purposes, each year. Thia fund
is alloted to the counties on May 1st.
and Dec. 31, of each year.
The allotment of this fund as
made by the state Hghway Com
mission on May 1, 1922, was $6939
53, each county and the amount of
funds paid in by each county of
this very sum was Campbell,
84542-84 Claiborne S2587.07
Grainger $1454.05, Morgan $1284.
57, Union $1042.74, Scott $463
32, Hancock $495.84 the remainder
of the funds to yet be distributed
will raise the alxve figures of
$6939 53, to $9000.00.
This program put in effect in 1919
by the good roads committee of
which I was a member i3 the first
time that money was collected off
of large cities and remitted to the
County Pays into State
Campbell $17,655.00
Claiborne 11,688.82
Grainier 8,173.97
Hancock 3,735 36
Morgan 10,556.31
Scott 9,800.26
Union 5,299 16
There are a few demagogs who
are now endeavoring to make capi
tal and for political expediency and
to satisfy a few city politicians, at
tacking this system with a view of
obtaining the repeal of this law.
Does my district want it repealed?
I should say no, for the reason that
no law could take its place that
would be worth so much to these
rural counties.
I opposed and voted against the
dortch ballot and women paying
poll tax and stand for their repeal.
There are thousands of men and
women in my district who cannot
read and write for the reason that
they had no opportunity to go to
school and to prescribe the Dortch
ballot at this time deprives them of
a voice in their Government, This i
.--- .
The Third Senatorial District of
country counties. The autos of the
city wear out our roads and should
help build them. There will be an
effort and there is already a pro
gram on foot to repeal this bill and
if I am return to the Senate I will
try to retain this law as it is, just
as I passed it in the first instance
Fought For The Rural Schools.
As a member of the Senate Edu
cational committee I with other
members of the committee, intro
duced and passed a. bill known as
the elementary school bill and this
bill was based on scolastic population
or numoer or children attending
school.
As a member of the committee I
knew that larger families were rear
ed in the country and thus the idea
to improve the country schools and
give them the money with which to
run their term longer was conceived;
we did this by levying a tax over
the whole state, knowing that the
cities had two thirds of the wealth.
Under this system each county
of my district gets many thousand
more dollars from the state than
they actually pay in to the state I
treasury. Under this system the
amount that is paid in by each
county and received in return from
the state are as follows: for the year
from July 1, 1921 to June 20, 1922

Dortch Ballot is a head of its day
aud should be repealed
I fulfilled my platform on which
you elected me two years ago and if
you will elect me again I will keep
faith with my people. I am opposed
by a man who has a $2500.00 job
as a prohibition enforcement officer '
for the United States Government,
I am also opposed by a wealthy
coal operator.
Who, voters and taxpayers will
vote for the interest of the laboring
man, the farmer and their children
If you desire investigate the facts
in this announcement and then de
cide for yourself who is qualified
and who should go to Nashville as
your Senator.
Faithfully yours,
W.P.MONROE.1
