MURDEROUS BULLET UPHOLDSPROHIBITION" AMENDMENT
(Condinued from page 1, column 3.)
Running for governor at the same
time was Malcolm R. Patterson, theson of the Josiah Patterson whom
Carmack had defeated for congressin 1S96. Carmack hated the son on
general principles. Cooper liked Pattersonand supported him. Carmackswung his influence toward Gov. Cox.
Patterson won.
Col. Duncan Brown Cooper, now
totally bald and extremely emphaticin his opinions, was greatly pleased.Both his horses had won. But Cooperdidn't crow about it. He took his winningin the same spirit.he had won
on/3 loot tiiniieaiiHa r»f dollars acrossauu xisoi/ v.
the green baize table. His whole
philosophy of life was contained in a
quatrain that he often recited to
friends in the Hoffman House bar on
his frequent New York visits:
No matter what you sing or say,The world rolls on in the same old
way,And he who would possess his soulMust hold on tight and let her roll.
Carmack was never a philosopher.at least not in defeat. He declared |he was out of politics for good. He
went to Memphis to resume the
practice of law. But the lure of pubilcoffice was too great. He announcedhimself as a candidate for
governor against Patterson.
The Anti-Saloon League.The latter had spent two years in
building up a powerful political machineof his own. Distiller and brewers,bartenders and gamblers, honest
business men, who honestly believedthat "open towns" meant good business,reactionary Democrats who
passed the plate Sundays, shrewd men
who thought Patterson had given thestate a good administration.all thesegathered under the Patterson standard.
Then the Anti-Saloon League step- 1
ped actively into Tennessee politics.Before that the league had chirped,
f but had been throttled by the whiskyring. The Anti-Saloon League demandedstate-wide prohibition. Pattersonwould not advocate it. He stoodfor local option.if the public had to
have prohibition of any kind.The Anti-Saloon League turned to
the other side, and there was Xed Car- jmack, smiling an invitation. Right j
then Edward Ward Carmack lost jvotes. He had never been known to jcertain of his intimates as a whiteribbonteetotaler.
For the first time since the CivilWar the churches of Tennessee en-':tered politics. The doctrine of "JesusChri9t" and Him Crucified" was laidaside for the time and that of "Carmackand state-wide prohibition"preached in its place.
Bitterness dropped out. Businesspartners disagreed on the relative <
merits of local option or a dry state.Brothers hated one another for their i
political stand. Fathers and sons dif- <
fered. i
Cooper, of course, was giving hissupport to Patterson. In a sense hehad been the Col. House of Patter- <
son's administration and his keen ]
brain was aiding Patterson's campaign.But Cooper wa9 making no <
speeches. He was no more orator. He 1
pulled the wires and watched the t
puppets dance. fCarmack became incensed at Cooper'sactivities and began to openly 1
berate him on the stump with that i
peppery tongue. Day after day he re- 1
ferred to the man who had given him *
his start in journalism and even went 2
so far one night as to ask whether"baldheaded angel Dune Cooper was c
an angel of darkness or of light, or if ^
there is not the smell of sulphur in this feathers." *
That sunk deep. Cooper was noth- i
ing if not dignified. Carmack was ^
forty-nine, Cooper sixty-five, and feel- t
ing his age. Word went to Carmack i
tnat uooper was iouc>ny auoui ais
baldness.The colonel felt tie was
responsible for his own individual *
acts, but as far as his physical ap-
pearancewas concerned, "the Lord (
hath given, and the Lord hath taken c
away, blessed be the name of the fLord." S
The Vulnerable spot. .
But Carmack had found the vulnerablespot. Achilles didn't have a tenderheel, but he had a bald head.Oh,joy on the stump.
Time and again Carmack referred 1to "bald-headed angel Dune Cooper."He went further. He began to em-
£
phize the question 4iis bald-headed (Dune Cooper an angel of darkness or
of light." The Colonel's father had i
owned many slaves. \There are some epithets that fight- {
ing men will not take of God or the 1
devil. Poking fun at an old man's (
bald head was the height of bad taste,but to make the veiled insinuation!;* * * that was the unpardonable 11offense.
Carmack was made editor of theNashville Tennesseean and went gun-jning for his enemies. His defeat had '
made the anti-Saloon league far more
militant. Sermons were preached inchurches flaying Patterson as the ^1
scion of the devil. Carmack becamethe leader of a Lost Cause admiredin defeat.The Tennesseean's new editor considered"bald-headed angel Dune" as
the chief cause of his downfall. He
began to attack him in his editorialcolumns.One day Carmack poured an extra
portion of vitriol into his ink-holder,and wrote this editorial, entitled.
The Diplomat of Zweibund."To Major Duncan Brown Cooper,
who wrought the great coalition, whoachieved the harmonious confluenceof incompatible elements, who weldedthe pewter handle to the woodenspoon, who grafted fche dead boughto the living tree and made it bloomand bend with golden fruit, who madelaymates of the lamb and the leopardand boon companions of the spiderand the fly, who made sod and vinegarto dwell placidly in the same bottleand who taught oil and water how
they might agree; to Major DuncanBrown Cooper, the great diplomat ofthe political Zweibund, be all honorand glory forever."
Cooper read that editorial.andsaw red.
That was Sunday morning, Nov. 8,1908.Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock,
Senator Carmack, was walking on
Seventh Avenue. At Union streetCol. Cooper and his twenty-eight-yearold son, Robin, hove in sight. Therewas shooting.Carmack fell dead with one bullet
under the heart, one in the left shoulder,and one in the neck. RobinCooper was wounded in the rightshoulder. Duncan Cooper had notfired a shot, though he had drawn hisrevolver from his pocket. He was unscathed.
There is no use trying to explainwho shot first. The point is stillargued in Tennessee.
"Carmack.the Martyr."Nov. 14, 191$, the Coopers and
John D. Sharp, an ex-sheriff withthem at the time of the shooting, were
indicted.In the spring of 1919 the Anti-Saloonleague, determined to avenge the
death of Ned Carmack, demandedthat the legislature pass the statewideprohibition act. The legislaturedid 90.
All over the south and the mid-westProtestant denominations were demandingthat the saloon be abolishedas a "tribute to Carmack." The NorthwestMethodist conference at Dallas,Tex., passed resolutions deploringCarmack's death, denouncing the supportersof liquor interests in politicsand declaring that "Carmack died a
martyr to the cause of prohibition andcivic righteousness."
Feb. 23, 1909, Col. Cooper testifyingat the trial for this life, said hehad heard Carmack using his name
many times in the late gubernatorialcampaign and referred to the ' blackand white" insinuation.March 20,1909, the Coopers, father
and son, were found "guilty of murderin the second degree and sentencedto twenty years in prison."The cases were appealed. April 13,1910, the supreme court of the stateaffirmed Duncan Cooper's case, andreversed the son's.Before the ink was dry on the decisionGov. Patterson issued a pardon
:o Duncan Cooper. It actually reached;he office of the secretary of state beforeCooper left the capitol for jail.That was the last straw that broke
;he prohibition camel's back. Carnackhad been assassinated by theWhiskey Trust, and now his "redlandedmurdered" was given a fullmd complete pardon!The liquor forces, bloated with
>ver-confidence, awoke to the menace
vhich confronted them, but it was
oo late. Through the small towns andlomlotc nf AmonVa fnr a dppadp had
jone the tale of the gallant Carmackrho gave his life for "the cause." Prolibitionand civic righteousness were
rrevocably linked. Carmack was enihrined.Every state in the union had its adrocatesof nation-wide prohibition,
dany of them were strong leaders.)ne day they walked into the nation's:apitol.but the rest is history writeninto the constitution of the United5tates.
