THE TENNESSEE ELECTION.

f VIII take united action on the part of Democrats everywhere to win
 victories this year. There is A fear
 fui amount of apathy in all the States,
 including those which are considered
 safely and beyond peradventure Demo-
 cratic. In Tennessee there are many
 thousands of white Republicans. They
 are active and on the lookout all tn e
 time for breaches in the Democratic ranks. It is not like it is in Alabama
 where the Republican Party is small in numbers and influence. Some of Tennessee's ablest men are Republi- cans. It is. therefore, incumbent on the Democrats of that State to keep step together or run the risk of de- feat.
 After the most vigorous campaign ever known In the State the Democrats recently nominated Governor Patter- son for reelection. He and his friends asked for the usual endorsement and re-eiection. Senator Carmack, how ever, entered the light against him, and took for his especial platform state- wide prohibition. Governor Pattersc
 was committed to the principles of lo- cal option and stood his ground throughout the contest and was suc- cessfui at the polls. He announced. however, that if the Legislature to be elected should pass A prohibition bill he would sign 1t and to tha utmost of his power enforce it.
 It was arranged in the plan for a primary that the counties should be represented fin the State Convention the vote of the country for the men who would carry out the wishes of each county. This would seem to mean that counties carried by Patterson would sent Patterson delegates and Carmack counties Carmack delegates. As soon as the primary election was over. however. a movement was started to send delegates to the convention with no other restriction than to cast
 the vote of the county for the men who received the majority in the county. In other words 1t was argued that the county committees had q perfect right to send carmack men from Patterson counties and vice versa. The secret of the movement was that It so happened that a majority of the county commit tees had 8 majority of carmack men on them and the object was to select Carmaci1 men for delegates who would be compelled to vote for Patterson, but who would adopt platform antagonis- tic to the positions he upheld during the canvass. This would have been a dangerous movement. and we were sur prised that any man or men looking and hoping for success in November should have countenanced it.
 The Democratic State Committee met and easily solved the problem. They provided that the Patterson committee in each county which he carried should submit list of delegates to the county and they in turn should ap- point them. The same rule was ap- piled as to the Carmack men. As Pat terson carried not only a majority of the popular vote. but of the deleg gates as well, the control of the convention will be in the hands of his adherents. This. 1t Is hoped. will bring about such a state of harmony as will carry the State for the Democrats by the usual ma jority.

The Charlotte Observer briefly states the case when it says "this is Bryan's show" It argues that it is best to let him have full sway platform and all. If he should win then he can claim that the people are all with him. If he should lose then he could not say he would have been elected if he had been allowed to have his way. One thing is certain, if all those who wish to take the management of affairs away from the Republican Party should vote for Bryan, he will be elected. win they do so?

The Labor Vote.

Indianapolis News.
 So we shall this year have the same old speculation as to the labor vote and men will take Gompers seriously when he says or implIea that unless he has his way or- ganized labor will rush in solid array from one party to the other There Is no solid labor vote. as there Is a solid South or d practically solid colored vote. There ia not one of us who does not know many Republican and Democratic labortng men who vote their respective tickets quite as stssdtlv as other people do They esn rat be coerced or controlled either by their em- ployers or by such men Gompers We think therefore, that the Democratic plat form makers ought to say precisely what they think right, without any regard whatever to its effect on the so-called la bor vote.

 In a cablegram from London Mir. William Randolph Hearst gives ecs- tatic expression to his personal grati- fication over the decision of Justice Lambert in the recount case:
 "The result is more than satisfactory to me and I hope 1t will sufficiently satisfy the citizens for whom this long and arduous struggle has been carried on."
 Hearst succeeded in demonstrating in open court before a jury of his piers that all the charges of fraud which Mr. Hearst had made were utterly unfound- ed, unjustified and untrue.

 Wilkesbarre News.
 In the purity and integrity of the Ameri- can home lies the safety and security of the American republic. In the opinion of Mrs. Taft, the wife of the Republican candidate for President, the greatest peril now con fronting this country Is the divorce peril
 This most charming and intelligent wo- man expressed her views very plainly on this question In an interview the other day In New York, which We reprinted and which We most heartily commend to the consideration of the other women of the country, who must agree with Mrs Taft that the laxity of our divorce laws is a She does not believe m divorce at all She holds to the idea of legal separation if there must be separation, but no di- vorce What God hath joined together let no man put asunder." There has been nothing said on the subject more refreshing and utterly in keeping with the faith and sentiment of the decent people of the country than what Mrs. Taft has spoken.
