BIG CROWD
HEARS TAYLOR
EX-GOVERNOR OPENS HIS
CAMPAIGN AT
NASHVILLE.
RYMAM AUDITORIUM IS PACKED
And Speaker Was Given Close
Attention and Flat
tering Applause.
RYMAM AUDITORIUM IS PACKED

Says Tuesdays Nashville American:
Zone OF the largest and most repre-
sentative audiences that has gathered
In Tennessee in many years to hear a
political speech assembled at the RYAN
Auditorium on Monday night to hear
the opening speech of ex Gov. Robert
l.. Taylor in his campaign tor the
Senate. Every inch OF available room
in the large auditorium was occupied
and every seat IN the building, winch
is one of the most capaciOus auditor
lums in the South, was filled long
before the hour set for the speaking,
and there were large numbers unable
to gain admittance
From a majority of the counties of
Tennessee there journyed DELEGATIONS
to give encouragement to the launching
of the campaign of one of the state 8
most distinguished and best loved sons
A feature of the out-of town con-
tingent or the crowd was the large
number whose faces were unfamiliar
to the Observant persons who tltter
themselves that they have an acquain-
tance with the politicians of Tennes-
see. There were great many who
came fro N a distance whose interest in
politics heretofore has been confined
within the borders of their own pre-
cincts or counties and the presence or
these lent a certain picturesqueness TO
the assemblage.
FLAITERING RECEPTION.
''The tribute paid Gov. Taylor by
the crowd was a tiattering one, and
seldom has it been the good fortune OF
a cano idste for public preferment in
Tennessee to have his first campaign
deliverance heard by a larger or more
thoroughly representative assembly.
Upon the stage there were many of the
most prominent figures In tennessee S
political life, among the number being
former Gov. McMillIn. the opponent
for Senatorial honors of Gov. Taylor IN
years past. Gov. McMillin was the
first voice heard in the evenings pro-
gramme, he introducing to the audi
ence Hon. James A. Tate, Secretary
of the National Prohibition Executive
Committee, who, in turn. presented
Gov. Taylor.
Those who predicted that the open
ing speech OF Gov. Taylor would be
different In tone or composition from
the past speeches of that distinguished
gentleman were proven to be false
prophets. as the speech throughout
was characteristic of the speaker. 1t
was replete with sentiment. and the
humorous references and sarcastic
thrusts at his opponent were received
with great applause.
Gov. Taylor was to some extent at
