FRAUDS IN TENNESSEE.
Mckinley Electors Dehberateiy
Counted Out by Democratic Omcers.

NASHVILLE, Ky. Nov. 1.-THE Repub-
lican State executive committee, with two
hundred leading Republicans from all por-
tions of the State, closed a session last
night, after having unanimously resolved to
investigate election frauds in this State and
inaugurate a contest for the governorship
and indorse a. contest upon the part OF
candidates for Congress who were defeated
by frauds. 1t was one of the most delib-
erative bodies which has ever met in this
State. All the speakers seemed impressed
with the gravity of the occasion. The Re-
pubicans claim that these frauds are far
reaching and surpasS anything heretofore
practiced, and that in five West Tennessee
counties alone enough votes were trans
ferred from the Republican to the Demo-
cratic ticket in the count to overcome the
alleged Democratic majority in the State.
1t is known that Mr.. T.. B. Stahlman,
who managed the Republican campaign,
feels keenly the disappointment of a fall

a fair count the State would have been
placed In the Republican column by large
majorities. Mr.. Stahlman, who is regarded

Legislators May BE Issued.

1t is possible that a few members Of the
House may join in calling caucus OF

tions TO come before the next Legislature.
but it is not regarded by leading Repub-
licans as likely that this will be done They
recall the fact that two years ago the
members of the Senate did this with rather
unsatisfactory results About all they
succeeded in accomplishing was the appor-
tionment of committee chairmanships. In
the nature of things il would be impossible
for all the Republicans members of the
House to attend such a caucus If il were
called and those who were not present
would feel that their views had been left
out OF consideration in shaping legislation.
1t Is true that there are many important
questions coming before the Legislature
such as the legislative apportionment, the
building and loan legislation. the election
law amendments, etc, but nothing what
ever could be accomplished along these
lines further than the drafting of bills, and
plenty of members will come to the front
with bills already drawn There is never
a lack of bills from which to choose what
is wanted.
