THE CONTEST
WAXING WARM.
Shrewd Politician Predicts
Very Bitter Fight Over
SenatorShip.

The Senatorial contest is opening in
dead earnest. This is evident by the
maneuvering which is going on in
Nashville, Memphis and other cities
and towns. Former Governor Taylor's
friends were first in the field and be-
gan at once their work Of organization
and have developed thus early their
plan of campaign. Every day and ev-
cry night his political managersmay be
seen about the rooms and corridors of
the Maxwell House, planning and con-
ferring, receiving reports, sending out
instructions, etc. Senator Carmack's s
friends have not been altogether idle,
but seem to have quietly watched and
waited the development Of the enemy's
plans And thus far the initiative and
aggressive has been with Governor
Taylor; but thvt Senator Carmack will
strike back and strike with force and
effectiveness is confidently expected by
his friends. They say it is not bad
politics for the candidate who is in to
bide with patience the unfolding of his
enemy's plans and let him discover his
line of attack. This is being rapidly
developed, and it cannot be much long
er before the battle becomes fierce and
hot all along the line.
Discussing the fight and the pros
poets, Saturday night, shrewd pollti-
clan, who has been mingling with the
boys, said to an American reporter:
Enough is already known to indi-
cate that this will be the fercest, Bit
terest fight that has been known in
Tennessee politics for many years, and
one that will leave behind it heritage
of hate, bitterness and dissension that
may last for generation. 1t is to be
regretted that this is so, but it seems
inevitable.
In the first place, it is to be a very
long campaign. 1t must be year or
year and haf from the time that
Governor Taylor and his friends open
ed the fight and began systematic
campaign until the battle is closed.
And from the very beginning the Tay-
lor campaign has been aggressive in its
attacks on Senator Carmack.
"a campaign begun in the utmost
good nature conld not last year and a
half without becoming acrimonious and
bitter. A campaign based on charges
! of treachery, combinations and con-
spiracy can last but short time be-
fore it reaches white heat. Such is the
campaign whicn is now going on over
the IState against Senator Carmack.
His friends say that he is not RESPONSE
BILE for preclpitating the campaign at
this early day, but that he cannot be
expected to remain quiet while his
character is being assailed. 1t is not
4 Carmack's nature to wage purely de-
feusive campaign, and when he an
swers the assertions of his euemies he
will probably give them something to
answer in turn.
"Ihere is another thing in this cam.
paign that does not make for gentle
ness and good feeling, and that is the
activity of the old McMillin crowd il
the Taylor camp. In the hotel corri
J dors and about the Taylor headquar
ters can be seen those old campaigners

W. Il. Murray, Bancroft Murray, John
McMillin, and even the former Govern
or bimself. These leaders constitute q
potent force in the Taylor campaign.
Governor McMillin, however, furnish
es the organizing talent and he also
furnishes large part of the animus of
the Taylor campaign. He has q griev-
ance against the Senator because of the
latter s.activity in behalf of his late
colleague, Senator Bate, at the time of
the Memphis primaries. / know he
feels that but for Carmack's interfer-
ence he would have carried Shelby
county over Senator Bate, and have
won the fight. The fight against Car
mack, therefore, is largely campaign
of revenge and there never was such
campaign that it did not become vio-
lent and savage. Rival ambitions can
contribute their full share of animosity
to political contest, but join with this
thirst for revenge, and the devil him.
self ought to be satisfied with the pros
pect.
"The candidates themselves may be
and it is to be supposed will be meas
urably restrained in their public utter
ances, but their will be no limit to the
violence, the vituperation and person
alities that will be INDUCED in by their
partisans.
"a JOINT debate is unavoidable. The
people to whom both candidates will
appeal will demand it. The charges
and counter charges must be thrashed
out on the stump in the presence of the
people themselves. Nashville Ameri-

DATE OF PRIMARY
Is Now the Issue Between
Taylor and Carmack.

Nashville, Tenn, July 15.-The date
of the senatorial primary seems to have
become the latest issue between Sena-
tor Carmack and ex.Gov. Bob Taylor.
A letter purporting to be q copy of one
which Coy. Bob Taylor is sending out
among his friends suggests an early
primary such as "Will separate the
senatorial from the gubernatorial and
other races and will save the party from
possible dissensions and discord. !"
Speaking OF the letter Senator Carmack
today stated he had heard that Gov.
Taylor's friends were CONGO citing a
scheme to bring about primary this
fall and expressed himself as opposed
to any such snap primary as the gov
ernor and his friends were trying to
work. The idea Of it, he said. was to
pull off the primary before there could
be fair hearing of both sides by the
people. 81 shall object, said Senator
Carmack, "to any primay held until
Gov. Tay lor and l have gone before
the people of Tennessee in joint de-
bate" A primary before the date of
the November election, Senator Car
mack says, would inevitably leave bit
ter dissensions in the party while
primary on that date would serve to
bring out the heaviest vote in years
and possible dissensions would be void
of material result. Senator Carmack
winds up the interview with this prop
osition:
That each candidate name friend
and they shall proceed to arrange by
agreement signed by both candidates
the terms of primary to be held on
the day of November election and at
the same time an agreement for joint
debate to cover the entire state.
81 am willing" said Senator Car
mack, "that we devote part of this
fall to joint discussions on the stump.
After the terms of the primary are
agreed upon, they can be embodied in
a resolution and submitted to the state
convention when it meets, thus giving
ii the party sanction and support. :"
Senator Carmack charges Gov. Tay-
lor's friends with circulating the most
virulent and abusive personal attacks
about him.
E1-Gov. Taylor tonight said that he
would answer Senator Carmack's 8 prop
osition at the proper time.

for him now, but that he hopes they
may be for him Il year and a quarter
from now? Just admission vain hope
"The senator.proposes that the order
for primary shall pass through the
machinery of the next state democratic
convention here by tangling the sena-
torial contest with the contests of all
other candidates in the state from the
governorship down. This is the very
thing | am anxious to avoid because I
believe that it would be best for the
peace and harmony of the democratic
party to eliminate the senatorial con-
test from the entanglements of state
politics at the earliest moment with
fairness to all concerned"
ga primary in December would give
us both ample opportunity to canvass
the state. 1t would enable Senator
Carmack to be in his seat in the Unit.
ed States Senate, where it is his duty
to to from the first Monday in Decem-
ber until the close of the session, and
it would enable us both to enter the
campaign next summer for the demo-
cratic ticket unhampered by personal
ambition.
1.-THE democratic convention will
have no more power to order legaliz-
ed primary for senator than has the
present State Executive Committee,
but either has the power to call an old
time Democratic primary by which to
ascertain the will of majority of the
Democratic voters and since the Sena-
tor is for a primary and | am for pri-
mary, and the press is for a primary,
and, above all, the people are outspo-
ken for primary, therefore
I propose, in lieu of the SEN
ator's proposition that he select a com
mittee of his friends, l will select an
equal number of mine, then let them
demand that Frank M. Thompson,
chairman of the democratic executive
committee, call the committee together
and let them fix an early date in De-
cember uext for general primary for
United States senator. An old-fashion- =
ed democtatlc primary, giving every
democrat, whether he be rich or poor,
the equal privilege with all other d en-
ocrats to his express will at the ballot
box and giving the candidates four
months in which to present their views
upou the public questionc involving
the happiness Of all the people. When
this is done the committee of my
friends shall confer with the senator s
friends and agree upon the details of
the campaign.
81 propose that Senator Carmack
and l shall be represented at
each voting place in the state by an
equal number of our friends chosen by
us, respectively, as officers. of the elec
tion.
81 guarantee that my friends will
bear one half of the expense, if any, OF
holding the primary and / feel sure
that the senator's friends will bear hall
of said expense, if any.
"Let the Senator and his friends toe
the mark and face the music, and lei
the eagles cease to futter until the ar
rows begin to fly"

Bob TaylOr'S Magazine.

The July number of Bob Taylor's
Magazine far surpasses even the splen-
did previous issues. Not only is it
considerably larger, but also in the in
trinsic merit of its reading matter and
notably in illustration it has reached
of excellence which places it easily in
the forefront of the best magazines of
the country.
Gov. Taylor, the editor in chief, is
at his best and his editorials, IA City
by the Sea-" "The Bear and the yell
low Jacket" A Memory of the Old
South" and "The Thin Gray Ranks
Close Again" are truly Tayloresque;
that is to say, inimitable. In this con-
nection an insert, consisting of litho-
graph in five colors of the confederate
flag on one side and picture of Fitz-
hugh Lee on the other, deserves espe-
cial mention. The flag faces the ed
itorial "The Thin Gray Ranks Close
Again" A compenion to this insert is
the frontispiece which is lithograph
of the national flag, also in five colors.
The Confederate flag is appropriately
and effectively followed by Father
Ryan's exquisite poem, 1.-THE Conquer
ed Banner" handsomely illustrated,
and that in turn by Governor Taylor
at the Tomb of Isham G. Harris" the
great war governor of Tennessee. Then
appears the fourth installment of "The

No More Work at MayflOWer
Mines Until spring.

have returned from the Mayfowe

BY hard work the new machin
cry, consisting of a complete
stamp mill and sawmill was taker
INTO the mines before the frs

The heavy SHOWS which came
not long ago forced Mr.. Stalter
and his crew to cease operations
for the winter, as not much could
be accomplished in placing the
machinery during the storms of
winter as great deal Of labor
would be outside work.
AS soon as spring opens Mr.
Stalter will take force of men
and the mills will be put to work
as soon as possible,
The prospects for the next years
work at the May flower mines now
seem very hattering.
Several of the mines are nr
longer prospects. There has been
enough development work to prove
the existance Of large body of
ore that will pay to work. In
some of the ORES, values run high,
Every miner who has visited
the mines has been very much i'm
pressed with what WAS in sight.
Thos. Mccullough, an old miner,
who has had many years ex-
perience in the mines of Australia
and New Zealand, and who has a
practical knowledge Of ores gained
by long experience, is probably,
the most enthusiastic person over
the prospects of any one who has
visited the May flower group.

said: "rhere is ground enough
there, if the ore holds out like |

county rich. If I were young

mately be a great producer of big
dividends. l was so much inter.
