INDEPENDENTS FOR RYE Against Scheme to Aid Governor in Exploiting the Liquor Question.

BRISTOL, Oct. 18. (Special.) Prominent men oi the Anti-Saloon league In Bristol and LCast Tennessee are Indignant at the action of President Carre In giving out a statement endorsing Hooper for a third term. The strong telegram which they sent to President Carre Saturday Indicates how they feel about the attitude of the leaders of the Anti-Saloon league, who they say are willing to cripple the league In an et-fort to help Hooper in his ambition to get another term at any cost. They Bay that there is no reason why he should be permitted to use the liquor question to ride into ofllce for a.

third term, when the platform and record of Gen. Thomas Rye, the democratic nominee, is sufficient for all temperance democrats. After a careful canvass of the situation in Bristol It is said that there are less than a half dozen Independent democrats who now find an excuse tor supporting Hooper. They all say that Rye's platform Is sufficient and his record is such as to Justify them in supporting him. The leaders of the temperance faction here, including men who have been the, most abused because of their stand for temperance, are vigorous for Rye for 'governor and against the scheme to permit Hooper to ride in on the liquor question.

Sullivan county will give Rye its full democratic strength. Hooper will get the votes of republicans regardless of their NEW HEAD FOR INTERURBAN COMPANY- F. W. Hoover Succeeds H. H.

(By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Oct. Wilson made public today a letter to Majority Leader Underwood, of the house, In which he reviewed tin: achievements of his administration, outlined the pro-feTam for the next session of congress, and declared "the democratic party is now la fact the only instrument ready to the country's hand by which anything can be accomplished."

He predicted victory for his party in the elections thoughtful man sues Of parlies just now would -seL--tltciook back, not forward," and because practical nation is not likely to reject, such a team, full of the spirit of public service, and substitute, in the midst of great tasks, either a party upon which a deep demoralization has fallen or a party which has not' grown to a stature that would warrant its assumlne the respotislble bur- jlens of state."

Praising tbe new tariiT bill, the President asserted that "private control had shown Its sinister face oa every baud in America, had shown in It for a long lime, and sometimes very brazenly, lu the trusts, and In the virtual doiniuatiou of credit by small groups of meu." He. said tlnit high prices did not spring directly from the tariff, but out of suppression of competition which nourished more easily under tbe protection of high' tariu. He declared that tbe panic which opponents of tbe 'new bill predicted, bad not come, ami that despite the European war there had been sufficient time to prove tho success of the act.

The trade commission bill and the Clayton antitrust bill were spoken of as designed "to make mcr In a small way of business as free to succeed as men in a big way, and to Icill monopoly In the seed." He addqd that "monopolies are built up bv unfair methods of competition" which would be eliminated by the new legislation. "Monopoly Is to be cut off at the roots," he declared.

Is it more Important that you stand by Hooper In Tennessee than that' you stand by Wilson In the Hooper did not help us got our present senate-and house. If Hooper had his way he'd send a republican senate and- house to paralyze President Wilson and tie his hands.

Don't let your enemies tell' you what to do. They'll tell you what Is good for them for you to do. I can forgive a1 man anything in the paHt If he will help me serve my country today. Elect democratic senators and congress-men -and commission President- Wilson to go on with his great work, or elect republicans 'and bid him stop. I'll not.

allow a republican governor to keep me out of a democratic state. Hooper is seeking to use democrats. for republican purposes. I never take advice from a man who Is working for the republican party. Hooper is nonpartisan enough to ask democrats to vote for him.
