THERE ARE NO sNAREs.

Referring to The Advertisers editorial on the change of political sentiment in Tennessee The Chattanooga Times says:
 The Advertiser has been reading the signs wrong; there has never been time when Hearst had a ghost of a chance in this State. Tennessee will show up all right; let our Montgomery contemporary look after its own ''snares."
 Well, probably 1t was the ebullience caused by hot air. just hs 1t is now shown to have been in Alabama, but there was a time, judging by what some of tSe Tennessee newspapers were say ing. when nothing short of death could keep Hearst from getting the solid dele- gation from that State. We are glad that we misjudged the Tennessee Demo- crats, and that their sanity had never de- parted from them. The noisy and really ridiculous efforts of a few papers to work up a Hearst sentiment in Alabama has had no worse effect than to excite amusement and pity for those who were behind it. We assure our good Chatta- nooga friend that all the ''snares" that have been spread in Alabama were only "springes to catch woodcocks." but they only caught a few sapsuckers. When the Alabama Democrats allow themselves caught in such a net as Hearst spreads for them 1t will be time to close up the shop and file a petition in bankruptcy.

 Washington Special
 Tha Missouri Senators and Represen- tatives have little to say today about the results of the primaries in thelr state on Saturday last. when Joseph w. FOLK, the reform candidate for Governor maoe nrirnaries were held. The Missouri dele gation believes that the poodle hunter attorney of St. Louis Is slated to succeea Dockerv as Governor, and are much cast down at the complete knockout or S tlle Democratic machine, which IS toreeasteo by the primaries thus far held.
 The Folk movement is confined to no political party The Republican farmers appear to be as much interested In the success of the St Louis prosecutor as are inc Democrats. Both are contributing to fight the State machine, which has pro d1ced three candidates in the contest
 The understanding among these candi- dates Is that only one shall ,t run agalhse Indse Grant of the Supreme Court. Harry B. Hawes, the political boss of St. Louis and James A. Reed. the mayor of Kan sas City. are contesting with FOX TOT tne nomination. The result in the various counties is determined by primaries. IT inc machine thinks Reed is strongest In any county his name Is put on the tlcKet to contest with Folk. Where IL IS De lieyed that Grant or Hawes Is the strong est one of these names goes upon the onnosinR ticket. Folk runs in every County in the State. and the result has been n series of the most amazing sur prlses. .,oa ..,o
 On the same day Folk carried two counties on the Iowa line and one on inc Aakansas line. Three days later he carried two counties almost in the central part of the State, which had been con fidently claimed by the machine. he has carried more counties than all of the onnosine candidates combined. and the hest politicians in the State now conceue mat his nomination is inevitable.
