Why Should Carmack Speak for Patterson Now
The Tennessee Democratic scene critiques Mr. Carmack for accepting National Committee invitations to Ohio and Indians for Bryan while condemning his absence from Tennessee events.

The piece urges no bolting and calls for Australian ballot reform to reduce election confusion.
