DEMOCRATS IN BITTER
FIGHw OVER GOVERN
OR NOMINATION..
A TRIANGULAR CONTEST
Politicians Fearful of a
Split in Convention.

Nashville, Tenn. May 29.--with the
smoke Of the recent senatorial battle
still in the air the Democratic factions
Of Tennessee lined mp today for a
second engagement, which promises
to be even more bitterly contested
than the recent fight for the seat OF
Senator Carmack This time it is
fight for he governorship and the
party seems hopelessly divided
The nominating convention Assem-.
bled in this city today with both sides
ready and eager for the fray Three
men are working for the nomination.
the present governor, John I. Cox;
Malcom r. Patterson, representative
in congress from the Memphis dis
tri-t, and John II. Bond. circuit
Judge of Brownsville
The present factional fight dates
back some time. It came to a head in
the election OF a successor to former
Senator Bate, who died last spring just
after he had been sworn in for new
term. Benton Mcmillan and ex-Gov-
ernor Taylor announced their candi-
dacy for Bates seat, but James M.
Frazier. then governor, carried off the
prize. This was The result of a deal
between Fraziei. and John l. Cox who
was then speaker OF the state senate.
and who, under the Tennessee con.
sHtutfon, succeeded to the governor
ship wher Frazier went to the United
States Senate.
Governor Cox is now contending for
nomination and election for full term
Of two years. He is seeking election
as business governor, arguing that
he has saved much money in an econo-
mical administration.
Mr. Patterson's candidacy is based
upon platform TO overthrow the
Democratic machine, OF which he
charges Governor Cox is now the head
and chief beneficiary. Patterson's
battle cry is that there is now too
much power in the hands OF the COVER
nor and he insists that present con
ditions be reformed and the power re
placed in the hands OF the people
Judge Bond Is regarded as the can
didate Of the temperance element. He
has but few instructed votes and his
candidacy is regarded as hopeless un
less, in the case of a deadlock, some
! rs the supporters OF either Cox or Pat
terson break away and throw theil
strength TO Bond in the interest o.
party harmony
AT the opening OF the convention
however, it appeared certain that both
the Cox and Patterson elements woult
fight to the last ditch II this attitude
is maintained il is possible that tbs
convention may split and the result
be that two Democratic state tickets
be nominated. Some of the oldel
party leaders. however. are working
hard in the interest OF harmony. fear

fine POTATOES

Every one knows that nothing
makes "a weary traveller more out of
temper than to get a soggy or taste
less baked potato served to him.
Notwithstanding this fact, it is the
exception, rather than the rule, to get
any other kind either on a railroad
train or in a hotel. A. E. White, who
is at the head of the Burlington's COM
mlssary department, recognized the
moral and mental effect that a good
potato has upon human being, and
he determined that his road should
have the benefit of the perfect potato.
After striving vainly to live up to
this determination, he heard that irri-
CATION was an alchemist that had
succeeded in producing the perfect
tuber. One day Mr.. White dropped
off the train at a little way-side sta
ton in Montana and drove twenty
five miles across country to the Bar
Bell ranch. There he saw some irri-
gatlOn grown potatoes WHICH uGL his
idea of perfection. There at the
mouth of the Big Horn Canyon in the
Tongue river valley he purchased for
the Burlington Road a small tract of
irrigated land. Since then the rail
road has been raising its own potatoes
for the 100000 people who patronize
it's dining cars.
Irrigated potatoes, however, are as
often too large as other potatoes are
frequently too small. 1t would not
do, therefore, to permit the overgrown
one to be served. Mr. White, there
fore, instructed his farmer to dig the
crop by a special method which would
insure the potatoes from being cut or
married, and instructed him to send
only those which weighed three-eights
of a pound. Accordingly the year
round, irrespective of the potato
market and irrespective Of the scarci-
4, ty or plentifulness of the general sup
ply, the dining cars of the Burlington
are daily furnished with potatoes
grown under irrigation and uniformly
weighing just the correct amount.
