to the credentials committee.
Convention Called to Order.
A 1910 o'clock, Tom Carroll, Secre-
tary of the Stste Convention, read the
call of the Committee for Convention.
W. K. Alternately, of McNalry
County called the convention to order.
In obedience to custom, the Com
vention recommended name for tenn.
porary chairman, naming A. w Cham
bliss, OF Chattanooga. Mr.. Muntcastle
of Knox, moved to indorse.
W. Fl. Baskerville, of Sumner Coun-
ty, placed in nomination Gen. w. M.
brandon, who he said guided the
Apostle Of Sunshine to victory Pro-
longed applause greeted Gen. Brandon's
name.
Mr.. r. L. Peak of Robertson County
was next recognized, and seconded Mr..
Brandon's nomination. More cheers
and great disorder, the chairman re-
fusing to proceed until order was re-
stored.
He then recognized Bancroft Murray
OF Hamilton County, who moved the
call of roll by counties to decide which
if any counties were contested, and if
any, that they state cause of contest.
More disorder and a heap OF it.
A point of order by Mr.. Mountcastle
of Knox County, that the order was to
roll the call for Temporary Chairman,
and no more business could be trans
scteduntil the roll had been called and
the vote taken.
The Roll Call.
The Chairman sustained the point of
order, and the clerk was ordered to call
the roll of couuGles for the vote on
Temporary Chairman.
The call proceeded smoothly until
Davidson was reached, when w. o.
Vertrees and E. R. Richardson, both
took the stand. The Chairman
recnognized Mr.. Richardson, who
contended that the contest was friv-
olous, and that he as the accredited
chairman of the Davidson delegation
should be allowed to vote. Mr. Rich
ardson represented the Patterson fac
ton.
The Chairman next recognized Maj.
w. o. Vertrees. Luke Lee, of David
son, challenged the right of Major
Vertrees to address the convention,
claiming that he was not delegate.
Mr.. Vertrees was the Chairman of the
Cox faction of Davidson.
Half the convention were on their
feet and the Chairman ordered the
sergeants at arms to seat the crowd,
saying he would not proceed until
order was restored.
Score One Against Patterson.
The chairman ruled against the point |
of order. The Patterson force Kissed |
and great disorder prevailed. Mr.. Lee |
appealed from the ruling. The Chair I
man granted the appeal but ruled
against debate. Mr.. Lee tried to |
speak anyhow, but the Convention
howled him down.
The roll was then called on the APP |
peal.
When order was partially restored |
the Chairman ruled that the Davidson
county notice of contest had been
fled
Morgan fitzpatrick made the point
of order that only part of the dele
cation was contested and that the
remainder should be seated. The
chairman ruled against the point say
ing that it was within his province to
pass upon the credentials of any dele
gate.
Luke Lee Again.
Mr.. Luke Lee played the heroic
some more and refused to be quieted.

ANOTHER CURE

Toilet Soap for more than year, and for
cleansing, identifying, and purifying
the skin, it cannot be excelled. have
been trying for long time to get some
thing to take the pimples off my face,
and since using Cuticura Soap l find that
it is the very thing for diseases of the

, was ordered, for the districts to name
their members of the Credentials Com
mlttee, and responded as follows:
John H. Caldwell of Sullivan county
Tom McLane of Knox, w. P. McMahon
OF Hamilton, ]. B. Swafford of Rhea.
K. G. Armstrong of Marshall, Austin
L. Peay of Montgomery, G. r. Berry
OF Williamson, Jno. M. Taylor of Hen
derson, Sherrell Hill of Gibson. A. T.
Coates of Hartman.
Adjourns Till O'clock.
On motion the. convention adjourned
until 3 o'clock to hear the report of
the Committee on Credentials.
Bradford A Cox Man.
Mr.. Bradford, the temporary chair
man, though not a partisan, is Cox
sympathizer and the Cox-Bond CON-
bination claim victory in his nomi-
nation. The Cox-Bond combination
also claim six of the ten members of
the Committee on Credentials. The
Patterson men however, deny this and
claim an even break, five and five on
the Committee.
Rough House Predicted.
The session this morning was har-
monious, but strong electric current
was in the air, and it is generally pre-
dicted that there will be another rough
house when the convention is called
upon to act on the report of the Com
mittee on Credentials, but it is not
believed that this report will be ready
by three o'clock. If not an adjourn
ment will be taken to give them more
time.
Americans Report Partisan.
The American report of yesterdays
proceedings is considered partisan
and in the interest of Patterson.
Patterson Men To Blame.
Conservative opinion generally puts
the blame for the rough house on the
Luke Lea of Davidson, and
Attorney General Peck of Robertson
for his spectacular and excited
rush to the stage when the vote of
Robertson county was challenged
1t is openly charged by the Cox
Bond combination that the roll call
having proceeded as far down the
alphabet as Robertson county, and
the Patterson men seeing inevitable
defeat by large majority staring
them in the face, deliberately tried to
stampede the convention or to block
further proceedings.
Looks Like Dark Horse.
The feeling is growing that neither
Cox nor Patterson will be nominated.
It is reported that fifteen counties
favor Major w. j. Whitthorne of
Maury as a compromise candidate.
Cox Controls Credentials Committee.
The Committee on Credentials met
and organized by electing Judge John
NJ. Taylor of the Eighth Congressional
District as chairman, and r. G.. Arm
strong of the Fifth District as secre-
AIRY.
Judge Taylor was nominated by Mr..
Berry of Williamson, who is Patter-
son man. Judge Caldwell was nomi-
mated by Mr.. Mcmahon of the Third
District, who is Cox man. Both the
nominees are Cox men and instructed
or Cox.
On the first ballot the vote tied
md both the candidates refraininS
rom voting. On the second ballot
he candidates voted for each other,
resulting in another tie. Mr.. Cald-
we'll then asked his friends to cease
,oting for him and moved the cleo

looking forward to California's future;
for, in a way San Francisco was Cali

While we are never a pessimist, we
now face a fact, an issue. And, poor
San Francisco's dark day is come in
deed, and on that city never more, will
the former prosperity be written, new
er in the day or generation, even, of
our children. The whole world stops
its wheels, so to speak, to mourn with

their utter loss, their terrible distress,

Such a suggestion could apparently
only occur to frenzied or panic
stricken mind. The message was
commercial message which passed
through no hands but those of the ca
bic companies and their employees. The
number of words must be checked from
one company to another That it could
have been tempered with is inconceiv-
able to the sane mind.

of each is to get help to their loved
ones, if living; to know their fate If the
worst has befallen. How to reach them
is the difficulty. Scattered and desti-
tute in San Francisco, the city destroy
ed, addresses and street numbers have
lost all being and purpose. No doubt
the post office will be as efficient as it
is humanity possible for it to be- yet it
may fail to reach the living and
through it the lead can send no It'd
ings of themselves. Every additional
agency that may bring either the word
or the means of comfort to the dis
tressed there, is to be welcomed Above
all Mr.. Bryan with his intimate local
knowledge, and his thoughtfulness,
may be able to send here, if nothing
more, the mournful comfort of certain
ty, in cases, if any there be, where fate
has overtaken loved ones-a certainty
that otherwise might never come, or
come only after long suspense.
Mr.. Bryan's offer Of service is a most
kindly one.

The Chronicle of April fourteen four

troyed San Francisco:
THE latest eruption Of Mount Vesu-
Vius has produced results similar to
those which accompanied the sudden
outburst of Mount Pelee on the ISL
and of Martinique only on a much
vaster scale. Populous towns and vii
lagos clustering around the base of
the famous volcano have been depopu-
lated and destroyed. Many of them
have been buried In the ashes which
have been emitted for days from the
throat of the crater. And streams Of
lava have poured down the mountains
tanks on all sides, bufying vineyards
and orchards in their destructive
course. .,. o.. ,u. -a
""The latest eruption of .Vesuvius has
been equaled in the recorded history

more disastrous than tlie eruption of A.
