General w. S. Taylor returned from
Washington, where he has been to file
his application for the judgeship of the

pointment to the judgeship. 1t will be re-
membered that Gov. Bradley appointed
Col. Wood as Senator to succeed Senator
Blackburn and the Senate refused to seat
him. 1t is believed here that Gen. Tay-
lor has been given absolute assurance that
he will be appointed.
Attorneys for Ex-Congressman George
M. Davidson, who is contesting the seat
of Congressman-elect George G. Gilbert,
took dispositions of Auditor Sam II. Stone,
Assistant Secretary of State Wood and
others.
The position Of Mr.. Davidson in ask
ing to overthrow the overwhelming ma
jority of Congressman-elect Gilbert in
such way as to establish a precedent
which will unseat many Republican
members of the present Congress, has
much weakened his cause, if, in fact, he
can make out case which will be con-
sidered by congress at ALL
