SOME FACTS AND FIGURES.

In 1904 the Republican vote il
East Tennessee for Governor wa
5000. The Democratic vote wa
1000. The Republican vote il
Middle Tennessee was $1,000 ant
Democratic vote 10000. In West
Tennessee the Republican vote wa;
21,000 and the Democratic vote
$4,000, in round numbers. 1t was
a Presidential year. In 1902 the
Republican vote in East Tennessee
was 10000 and the Democratic
vote was 26, 900. In West Tennes-
see the Republican vote was II, 600
and the Democratic vote was a.
900. In Middle Tennessee the Re
publican vote was $4,000 and the
Democratic vote $4,000.
The Republican vote in East
Tennessee in 1902, an off year, was
10000 out of total Republican
vote in the State of $4,000, or
more than half of the total vote.
In 1902, an off year, the Demo
cratic vote in East Tennessee was
about 1900 less than it was in
1904, a Presidential year. The
total Democratic vote in 1902 was
50, 900, and the Republican vote
1000. In 1904 the total Demo
cratic vote was 131, 900 and the
Republican vote 100000. The
Democratic majority in 1902 was
$4,000, and in 1904 it was 2S, 900.
East Tennessee is the Republican
stronghold. But for it the Repub-
lican party in Tennessee would be
weak. The East Tennessee Re-
publican vote will be larger than
usual this year. The Republicans
will cross the mountains with a
considerable majority. Middle
and West Tennessee Democrats
must overcome this majority. This
is easy enough to do if the Demo
Gratis turn out. There is always a
stay at-home vote, especially in off
years, but this vote should be
small this year, for several rea-
sons. In the first place it would
be exceedingly unwise at this juno
ture to elect H. Clay Evans. There
is very little race friction in Ten
nessee, and we do not want any.
The election of Evans would be
calculated to promote it. We de-
sire to avoid a newspaper discus
sion of this subject as much as
possible, but it cannot be banished
by closing the eyes. The election
of Evans would almost surely
make Tennessee a Repu blican
State in 1908. 1t would in all
probability remain so for years.
The American is fighting now, as
it has always fought, for Demo
cratic supremacy in Tennessee, but
if the State goes Republican this
year it deserves to be Republican
hereafter. Certainly the Repub-
licans will make an extraordinary
effort to capture its electoral votes
two years hence. If Democrats
do not turn out this year in view
of the situation it will probably
not do them much good to turn
out hereafter.
While the situation is steadily |
improving, there is still more
Democratic apathy than there
ought to be, in view of the con-
ditions that confront the party, |
and the great danger Of the far
reaching effects of a Republican
victory. There is apathy in tie
Republican ranks also. This may
continue 50 until the end. But let
rot Democrats rely on this. The
