Brownlow had dictated the move.

While all this, fight for supremacy is
going on between the two republican
candidates, Hon John H. Caldwell is
doing things that will make those who
minimize his chances remember that
he is in the race. He is making 3
whirlwind canvass of the district, and
he is meeting and talking TO all Of the
voters.
After he and Gen. Patterson spoke
at johnson City last Tuesday night
they went to Elizabrthton, and spoke
there on Wednesday, From Eliza
bethton the trip to Bristol was made
in an automobile, at speed of thirty
miles an hour, where they again spoke
to large audience.
At Bristol and in Sullivan county
things are different from any county in
the district. Sullivan is Mr.. Caldwell's
home county, and the most rabid
Brownlow or Taylor man will concede
it to Mr.. Caldwell. He has a splendid
Organization there. He has o con-
gressional club that is sending out
loads of literature showing up the po-
litical records Of his two opposing
candidates. His reception on Wednes
day night, when he and Gen. Patterson
spoke, was an attest of the esteem in
which he is held in his own city and
county.
While IL is generally conceded that
Hon. A. A. Taylor will carry Garter
county, it is claimed that MIR. Caldwell
gained some votes when he and Gen
J Patterson spoke at Elizabethton on
Wednesday.
"You can't beat Taylor in his own
county," said friend of Mr.. Taylor,
"Fhis is Tsylor's county, where he
J made crop of corn in which he did 8
! part of the plowing himself. The
! people think lots of ALI Taylor duwr
in this country, and we are going tC
! vote for him."

majority OF the democrats of this city, u
said one, and he cited the Soldiers
Home as the basis for his declaration,
but he failed to give any proof of being
able to "deliver the goods" He also
said that Brownlow would get the vote
of the old soldiers at the Home who
had registered. He did not know then
that mandamus would be applied for
to prevent the old soldiers from voting.
To see how the soldiers themselves
stood ON the question, visit was made
to the Home. When asked how many
had registered one, who delegated
himself as spokesman, said;
"Well, sir, there are about 500 out
here, but not many have registered.
You know it takes three dollars to pay
poll tax, and mighty few of these
people are going to spend three dol
lars. "
Glow about Mr.. Brownlow?" he
was asked. Wont he pay the poll
tax for these people?"
"No, he wouldn't pay it for them, u
he answered, but it was in a tone OF
voice of a man who had been taught to
be careful Of his speech. 81 don't
believe Mr.. Brownlow would give even
drink of whisky to get any man out
here to register"
This same man admitted that great
many of those who had been there
long enough ha registered, and that
none of them had the three dollars
with which to pay the poll-tax. This
man looked as if he had beco me con-
scious of talking out of school" and
he edged away.
In johnson City it was found that
very nearly all of those who had been
at the Home long enough to make
them eligible to vote, If they were 9TH
erwise qualified, had registered, and
that it was generally conceded that
