His announcement as candidate
has been issued in the shape of MINI

out over the state. 1t reads as follows:

Tennessee Ieilt Debates.

The prospective canvass between
Senator Il. W. Carmack and former
Gov. Robert L. Taylor is expected to
take on spectacular character and fur.
nish rare advertisement to the public
without regard to the merits of the two
candidates or the issues the campaign
may involve. There will not be any
pronounced issue, of course, because
the two eminent Tennesseans are both
democrats and both substantially
agreed on all questions of national pol
itics, but the senator and the ex-gov-
ernor are two Of the best, if not the
best, stump speakers in Tennessee,
and pitted against each other they are
expected to furnish rere entertainment
for the populaoe and make campaign
that will take its place in the annals of
the state among those OF historic inter-
est.
There has been no really great cam
paign, one between men of marked
personality and with unusual features,
in Tennessee since the civil war, if we
except that of 1895, when RQa. Robt
L. Taylor and Aia brother. Hon. Alfred
A. Taylor, made joint canvass for the
governorahip. This was in some re-
spects very picturesque contest, but
for great oratory and strong debate
did not come up to some of the notable
contests of the old-time period.
Among these was the famous cam.
paign between James X, Polk and
clean Jimmy" Jones, which gave rise
to the Whig doggerel sung as the
words of a popular air in 1874:
"We beat him twice with Jimmy
Jones, 80
And HepyY Clay will break hi'
y" Ganes,"
prophecy which, based on relative
strength Of Clay and Jones, seemed
logical enough, but which the result o.
the election didn't bear out.
There were two campaigns in which
Andrew johnson was candidate fol-
governor. In one Of these ha Wag op

Annual Dinner of the Maryland Society
of New York in That

In the course OF a speech at the annual
dinner of the Maryland Society OF New
York in New York Friday night, Gov. Ed
win Warfeld of Maryland commended the
speech of President Roosevelt on the negro
problem, made at the Lincoln day dinner of
the Republican Club in New York. Gov.
Warfield said, in part:
1--WE have a grave question confronting
US now-one that is usually the theme of
speakers from the south upon occasions like
this-'the race problem.
II was pleased that President Roosevelt
followed the wake of our southern orators
and took such a fair and patriotic stand
upon this question in his speech at the Lin
coin banquet. What he said convinced our
people that he is giving thoughtful consd-
Grafton to this paramount promlem, and that
he is beginning to realize the true status
of the negro in the south. We interpret
what he said was an earnest of his determi-
nation to aid in maintaining the relations
now prevailing in the south, and which are
fast being accepted throughout the land as
the proper relations to exist between the
races in every section of our country. He
has my approval in the policy he suggests,
to advance the negro along lines that will
make him a better more useful man, and
fit for the grave responsibilities of citizen

PISTOLS AT A DANCING PARTY.
Unbidden Guests Rebuff by Girl Led
to Fatal Fight

A dispatch from Greensburg, Pa, last night
says: Anna Onaffrey was the central figure
in a bloody battle in Mount Pleasant town.
ship Saturday night, in which two men were
killed and six others were stabbed, shot or
slashed with knives. The dead:
John kopkas, jr., twentyfour years old;
leaves a wife.
Michael Leshow, thirty years old; leaves a
wife and two children in the old country.
OF the wounded, Tom Pollak may die.
Anna Onaffrey's refusal to dance with
George Lukesz, an unbidden guest at a we'd
ding celebration, started riot which con-
verted the company house, where the dance
was being held, into a slaughter house.
Large quantities of beer and whisky had
been provided for the entertainment of the
guests by the groom.
Lukesz, who had been refused a dance
three times by the Onaffrey girl, made HIM
self obnoxious when the fourth dance start
ed by jostling several of the couples. The
host attempted to eject Lukesz and was
Knocked down. LukesZ then left and went
to his own boarding house, where he gath
cred party of friends and, with them,
forced his way back into the dancing room.
A fierce hand-to-hand fight followed, and
in a short time nearly all the belligerentS
swarmed out into the street. There was
rush for coke forks, which hung on the
walls of the houses in the street. The
heavy forks, with their many prongs, were
used with frightful effect and the ground
was spattered with blood.
Many of the men had revolvers, and more
than fifty shots were exchanged. Terrified
women and children fled to the fields, while
men who had not attended the dance joined
the fight.
The battle lasted nearly an hour. but when
the police, who had been summoned from
Greensburg, arrived, it was over.
