The Memphis News Scimitar is
quite unstrung over the election
returns, if the following can be
taken as sample of its condition:
Complaint has been made about the
conduct Of the senatorial primary in
Shelby County in some of the wards,
consequently against the majority Of
5000 given Senator Carmack in Shell
by County.
At Troy, in Obion County. with a
population Of 400 census report) a
majority Of 200 was given Mr.. Patter-
son, The balance Of Obion County
went against Mr.. Patterson by about
fifty votes. Giving Memphis credit
for the last census population of 1922
600, like proportionate majority
would have made it $4,000 Tor Mr..
Carmack.
We hear no complaint from the
Patterson people, or criticism against
the Patterson ma jority at Troy.
1t is the Patterson organ that is
giving loudest voice to the complaint
of the Carmack majority, or methods
of some of his friends in Shelby
County
Election Irregularities or frauds are
wrong at any time and any place, but
deserve the most opposition where
they affect results.
The primary returns in Shelby Coun-
ty did not affect the Senatorial ISSUE
The conductof the Troy box in Obion
County may affect the gubernatoria,i
issue, yet no criticism of the latter
comes from the Patterson mouth.
We have no idea where the
News Scimitar went for its infor-
nation, but from the looks of this
editorial it might have come from
Arkansaw or the Fiji Islands any
where but Obion County. In the
first place, the News, Scimitar
ought to know that in the primary
election for Governor the officers
we're not appointed for municipal
titles but for districts and the vote
was counted and returned from
the various districts. Therefore
the municipality of Troy held no
election at all for Governor, but
District No. 6 did. This district
had a population according to the
last census Of 1856. A poll of 500
votes is often cast in the district,
and there never was in our mem
DRY as many as 100 Republican
votes of that number.
Can the News Scimltar say as
much in Justification of the vote
in Shelby County where from 70
to 100 votes in some of the wards
were cast during the first six hours
and from 400 to 500 in the last
hourg
The Ms. ought TO be little
more careful and accurate about
its information. There was no
fraud at Troy. Every officer at

PICTURESQUE CHARACTER.

There is no more picturesque char
acter in Tennessee, Southern or ma.
tional politics, for that matter, than
Hon. Robert l.. Taylor. His career
extends over long and brilliant
record of unusual political success,
and 1t has been marked by an ac-
companying atmosphere OF romance
and human interest that has made
It unusually noteworthy. 1t is gen.
orally believed that Gov. Taylor is
the only man in the State who could
have defeated so distinguished and
so strong statesman as Senator
Il. w. Carmack. Big hearted and
generous to fault, a beautiful
word painter, eloquent and persua-
sive alike, an excellent reconteur,
hardy campaigner, and essentI-
ally man of the people, Gov. Tay-
lor has always been an ideal peo-
pies candidate. HIS is the distinc-
ton of having polled the largest
vote ever cast for Governor in the
State, getting more than 1900
votes when he defeated the Hon.
G. N. Tillman. He has been three
times Governor, once member of
Congress. several times a Presiden-
tial Elector, is perhaps the best
known pla form lecturer in the
United States, and is now the edi.
tor of magazine.
BORN IN HAPPY VALLEY.
Robert Love Taylor was born in
Happy Valley, Carter County, in
the extreme eastern part Of the
State, in July, 1850. He is there
fore So years Of eye, eight years
the senior OF Senator Carmack and
yet still young and vigorous man.
Perhaps there is nothing in name,
but it would seem that the middle
name of Love is most fitting in
Bob Taylor's case, for to know him
is certainly to love him, and per-
hap s being born in such locality
as Happy Valley may have shaped
the disposition of the m an, for
when was Bob Taylor anything
but happy. He has always lived
IN Happy Valley, for he has made
every surrounding such place OF
abode. Gov. Taylor was educated
at Pennington, n. j., and was adj
mitted to the Tennessee bar IN 1878.
In 1870, while yet young man, and
with only one year on his shoulders
as member of the bar, this young
sier showed of what stuff he was
made by defeating such an old cam
paigner as the Hon. A. II. Petit
bone. of the First District, in the
race for Congress. He served one
term in the Lower House Of Con-
gress.
CAMPAIGN, or THE ROSES.
In 1884 Gov Taylor was Elector
for the State.at- Large on the Cleve-
land ticket, and during the next
two years was Pension Agent at
Knoxville. Ia 1886 there was wit
messed perhaps the most remark
able race ever run for Governor in
any State. Gov. Taylor and his

the News-Scimitar got its informa-
ton, but if we were asked to guess
don't believe it would take long.
This sort of rot is suitable material
for the muck rake. Patterson's
majority was only 17S in the dis
trict and these were honest ballots.

While no woman is entlreIy free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. This is a
severe strain on woman's vitality.
When pain exists something is wrong
which should be set right or it will
lead to serious arrangement of the
whole female organism.
Thousands of women have testified
in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound overcomes womap's special
pains and Irregularities.
1t provides safe and sure way of
escape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
vincingly what Lydia K. Pinkham' S
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes, of $40 N Division
