Honors are being showered upon
former Tennesseans this year. Down
in Williamson county the Democrats
prevailed upon Hon. W. W. Faw to
enter the primary to select a candidate
for the legislature. 1t was wet and
dry fight with Walter on the Lord S
side, as might be expected. He was tri-
umphantly elected by large majority.
This will be pleasing news to Johnson
City people generally, not because he
is going to the legislature, but because
Walter is known and loved here by
everybody. He was born and grew up
to manhood in this city, and having
cultivated an eye for beauty, exercised
good Judgment in marrying one OF
Williamson county fairest daughters.
If every county in the State would Sc
lect such men the personnel of the leg
islature would be greatly improved.
THE COMET extends congratulations to
the dry people Of Williamson county.

by 176, in 1902 by 1862 and in 1904 his
majority was only So but he polled the
largest vote this year he has ever re-
ceived in this city.
The republicans made their greatest
fight in Johnson City and the Boone's
creek district. They made some gains
elsewhere but lost heavily in Jonesbo-
70 and Embreeville.
In 1900 the vote in Jonesboro for
Jackson was 1914 and for Squibb 248.
This year Jackson received 1874 and
Squibb 80.
In the 9Th district in 1902 jackson
received 1866 votes to 119 for Bacon.
This year, unfortunately for Jackson,
the people did not have to make any
one join the bird gang, but gave their
attention to voting and Jackson got
