DRUMMERS ARE
FOR CARMACK
Partial POLL SHOWS THAT
KNIGHTS oF THE GRIP"
ARE IN LINE.
BIG MAJORITY FOR SENATOR
One Weeks Partial Canvass Re-
Veals Some Very Crafty
ing Results.

There is no class Of men who have
a better opportunity Of knowing the
+ sentiment of the people upon a politi-
( cal issue or who are more closely in
touch with the people than the trav-
cling salesman, the plain every day
=, drummers. And not only this but
4 the drummers are a great aid to any
candidate or any cause they may
espOuse. 1t will be a matter Of great
satisfaction TO the supporters OF Sena-
tor Carmack to know that large ma
jority of the drummers who travel
the Middle Tennessee territory are
advocates Of the former Senator. 1t
has been commended by Patterson sup
porters that the contrary of this is
true, and they have industriously cir
culated reports to that effect, but
partial poll of the drummers by Frank
f. Everett, one of the most popular
and best known knights of the grip"
shows conclusively that a large per
cent of them are for Carmack.
During the past week Mr.. Everett
interviewed the drummers whom he
met on the road and he finds that a
very large proportion are outspoken
for Carmack Among the number are
such well-known men as All
Williams, Frank w. Allen, John Smith,
Ellis Higgins, R. Jess Cowan and
Horace Frierson. Among others who
stated to Mr.. Everett that they were
emphatically for Carmack, were:
