HOPE TO ADJOURN MAY 10.
Republicans in Congress Anxious to
Get Away Early

Washington, April 1O.--May 10 is
said to be the date fixed by the lead
ers for the adjournment of Congress
and Republicans are anxious to get
away, and If possible to do so an early
adjournment will be brought about.
The routine business of Congress Is
well advanced, the majority in the
House has determined to prevent any
hlibustering on the part of the DEM
ocrats, and the leaders see no reason
why adjournment should not be taken
early in May. AS the plans are now
being perfected they expect to be able
to finish up about May 10.

Mr.. Patterson and voted for him in the

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
In looking over the list of delegates
from our county to the State Convention
were pleased to find the name Of that
stalwart Democrat, J , II. Kee. Mr. Kee
has been an active and influential sup
served recognition Of faithful service.
It has been suggested that he be made
chairman Of the Benton County delega-
ton. After thinking it over, we believe
this would be more fitting recognition,
and we feel sure that no one would APP
preciate more than Howard.
But, Mr.. Editor, we find that through
some oversight Of our County Commit
tee, or rather Doss Hudson, Governor
Patterson representative who was last
week empowered by the State Commit
tee to select the delegates from Benton
County, they failed to name as dele
gate DR.. e. M. McAuley, another inf1u-
entail supporter OF the Governor. We
all know that Ennis is very strong on
''local option" and being thus in full
accord with Ban Murray, Spl. Hill and
Governor Patterson on this very import
ant question, as a delegate WINDY"
would be of great assistaneein making

1t is not our purpose, Mr.. Editor, to
criticise Mr., Hudson or the County Com
mittee, but evidently mistakeh has been
made. But if proxies are allowed the
mistake can be corrected, we believe il
some Of the more fortunate ones would
give way and let him have their proxy

Those good temperance Demo
Gratis who persistently insisted
that "we'll have a Statewide pro-
hibition plank in the platform, it
make no difference who is nomi-
mated" are in rather awkward
position, to say the least of it. We
are satisfied that thousands of
Tennessee Democrats (including
many in our county, were sincere
in this belief having full conf
dence in those who sought to mis-
lead them-and of course they feel
now like they have been buncoed.
However this may be, our advice
is, keep your Democracy straight
and be prepared to vote in the
next State primary of the party
which "doas things" in the old
Volunteer State.
