ANNOUNCEMENT OF
MR.. GALLOWAY
WILL AGAIN BE A CANDIDATE TO
THE LOWER HOUSE FROM
MAURY.
To the Voters Of Maury County:

To the Voters of Maury County:
Since my return from the last SEES
sion Of the Tennessee Legislature, the
question has been frequently asked
me, will you be a candidate for re-
election?" And the question has In
variably been accompanied by the
pleasant suggestion that / should be.
And l have always replied, "if my
record is satisfactory to this people,
would feel highly honored to have that
record endorsed"
And now l wish through the col
umns of the press to make that an
nouncement public, and to solicit a
favorable consideration at the hands
OF the Democracy Of Maury county, as
candidate for the seat In the lower
house OF the next general assembly
OF the state. In doing SO have the
satisfaction OF feeling that in the last
Legislature carried out your instruc-
lions in both letter and spirit; and IL
I should be again chosen, l will again
be your public servant, to attend to
your public business and comply with
your wishes to the best of my ability.
Under your instructions, and ac-
cording to my own best judgment and
wishes, did what / could to advance
the cause of temperance by abolishing
saloons from this and other towns and
cities in the state, and the good effect
of such legislation upon this commun-
ity would seem to indicate that the
good work should go on
My past experience will enable me
to render you more efficient service IN
the next legislature than was possible
for me to do in the last; and my best
service for your best interest is at
your command.
w. T. GALLOWAY.

prize to the Ruby. winner of the race
from San Francisco to Santa Cruz,s was
considered. A letter was ordered for
warded to Swanton of Santa Cruz, re-
questing him to award the cup and
prize to the Ruby, second prize going to
the Presto and third. 10 the Merry
Widow.
No notice of the resolution passed by
the board of directors regulating the
size of the yachts to be allowed to
compete had been sent to the regatta
committee. Having accepted the en-
tries of the Ruby and Merry Widow,
and the shippers of these yachts having
started in good faith, it was felt that
they could not be penalized.
1t was decided that the yachts would
be sent down in classes next year. This
does not dispose Of the question OF
eligibility of the Ruby. for it will be
able to compete next year under the
same conditions, as the deed of gift
states that the cup must be won twice
before it becomes the property of any
one yacht.
The regatta committee reported the
winners in the three classes for the
Swanton cups, the following being the
