Gov. TAYLOR has announced his
candidacy for Senator Bates seat in
the United States Senate, and al
ready we hear Democrats warmly
espousing the cause of one against
the other. There is no manner of
doubt as to the popularity of both
these men with the Democratic
voters of Tennessee. Senator Bate
is dear to the heart of the old SOL
diers, and many one of them would
scratch the Democratic ticket rath-
er than vote for any man who was
against him. And yet it is very
doubtful If he has any more friends
than the popular bald-headed Gov O..
ernor Bob. This year this county is
entitled to Senator, Floater, and
two Representatives, and in the
nominating convention the ques-
tion OvershedOwing all other ques-
tions will be, sis he for Bate or Tay-
lor." And If their partisans fight it
out to finish, there will be engen-
dered much hard feeling, and it is
no two to one bet that the nominees
would be elected; that is, provided
they were all for either one of the
men named. For the people, wild,
excited and foolish as they some
times seem, love a spirit of fair play
and justice, and they know and
would argue that either Taylor or
Bate have following sufficient to
ent'tle them to some of the votes of
this county. All things considered,
would it not be better not

In bis first communication Com

what he meant by packed" and he
replies as follows: II mean that

friends first. When these are inter
ested, together they work among
the other members, and if they are
successful by the time the meeting
is called to order they have enough
votes committed to their side to car
ry their point. When the candi-
date plans be plans in his own inter-

other candidate. When the COM

one candidate, he votes against the
interest of another, and right there
he violates his trust as a COM

serious charge against committee.
men than that in their zeal and
anxiety to do something for their
man or men, they were willing to
neglect the best interests of the

extent that the organization, so far
as county offices are concerned, is
well nigh destroyed"

to make this fight at all, but to
agree to divide the vote, giving two
to each? Would it not be fairer to
the aspirants, better for the party,
and, safer for both the party and the
candidates? Think about that, and
instead of creating factions and
scheming for the overthrow of one
of our own household, let's get to-
gether as brothers and agree to stop
this unseemly quarrel while it is
yet time.

hours of 8 a. m. to 4 p. M, for the pur-
pose of deciding which one of us shall
be a candidate for said Office before the
Judicial Circuit Convention, and it is

select one person who shall act in con-
junction with the committeeman at
each voting PREF met in holding said

allowed to vote, and that the vote of

the election and the chairman will can

to bring about the result, but after
much travail the Democratic solons

the Democrats of West Tennessee
