the source and continuing strength Of tho
wrongs done in this state. The GoebeI
law must be abolished or Republican in

JOHN MCCALL ENDORSED.

A Lexington special last week to
the Nashville American says:
"The Republican executive COM
mittee of the Eighth Congressional
District met in Lexington to-day,
with every countyrepresented. The
committee called a Congressional
convention to meet at Lexington on
April 18 to select two delegates and
two alternates to the national Re
publican convention. The
committee also adopted resolutions
endorsing Hon. John E. Mccall for
delegate at large for West Tennes-
see to the national convention, and
recommended him to all the other
counties of the State by a unani-
nous vote. This unanimous action
of the committee is considered by
Mr.. McCalls friends as a complete
knockout for Mr.. Jeffreys' aspira-
tions, since both men reside in the
Eighth Congressional District, as
showing the sentiment in the sew
eral counties
