To the Voters of Davidson County From developments In the past few days I am thorouRhly satisfied that the old City Hall crowd, with ex-Mayor Howse at its head, Is behind the candidacy of Wright for Sheriff, and unless the voters who are opposed to this old City Hall machine can concentrate, their support on some candidate who favors law enforcement, the michine will nominate Wright.

I am unwilling to play any part in this campaign which will even in a remote way aid Howse and his gang. I have therefore decided to withdraw from the race, and thank my friends for the support they have promised me. My Judgment Is that Louis Camp is the strongest candidate against the machine, and I therefore urge all my friends and other democrats who stand for law enforcement and decency In the administration of the Sheriff's office to cast their vote for Mr. Camp, who is honorable, high-class man; has made one of the best constables the county has ever had, and is capable of filling in a most acceptable manner the office of Sheriff.

B. G. Tucker and W. G. Hirsig.

In an opinion handed down Tuesday morning by Special Chancellor M. T. Bryan, the motion to suspend from office Dr. B. G.

In addition to this victory Dr. Tucker secured another point of vantage through the chancellor's decree, which ordered a severance of his cause and that of Squire W. G. Hirsig, he beiriK relieved of all the costs In the joint case thus for.

The decree is as fol lows: "State of Tennessee ex rel. T. J. McMor-rough vs. B.

G. Tucker et al. "in this cause, on motion of the re spondent, B. G. Tucker, it Is ordered by the court that a severance be granted to tne Bam u.

NOTICES ARE POSTED PROHIBITING TIPPING Bill Automatically Became a Law When Veto Was Not Made in Time.

The published statement, alleging that neither the Bowers' anti-capital punish ment bill or the antl-tlpplng statute are laws of the state because there has been no certification to the office of the Secretary of State, i according to lawyers, said to be an erroneous conclusion. It is pointed out that the decision of the supreme court' in the Johnson City light case, which held that the failure of the governor to return the bill to the general assembly at the expiration of the five-day limit, allowed for erm at deration, causea the act to become a law, automatically, appliee to the two casws above, and that no ceruocaiiun is required. The Bowers bill and the antt-ttpptng bill occupied the same position as the Johnson City case, having been held by the covernor beyond the Dtbav limit and afterwards vetoed. 1 The supreme bum i uwu ue rat uucame 'aw without the signature of the governor when the five days elapsed, and a8 the Bowers', bill and the anfl-tlpping bill met the same fate at the hands of the governor, obey most also necessarily have become laws without this signature of the governor. The decision of the supreme court in the Johnson City case has been accepted every where as enacting Into laws all acts which were held by the governor more than five and then vetoed, the governor being under the Impression that recess days were not to be considered as legislative days.

So general has been the belief that hotel managers, restaurant keepers and others employing help In public service have posted notices of the law and its prohibition of tips. These signs hsve been posted all over the state and employes instructed that the law must tm obeyed and that tlpplncr muBt he stopped. is not necessary ior tne secretary or state or any other state official to receive official notification that the two bills are laws, because under the constitution they automatically become the laws of the state when the governor failed to veto them In time.
