GAINES LOSES SEAT
TENNESSEEAN WILL BE Sue
CEEDED BY NEW MAN.

NASHVILLE. Tenn. June 29.-In the
democratic congressional primary for the
sixth district Joseph w. Byrnes. lawyer
of this city, defeated John Wesley Gaines
incumbent, for the nomipation. Gaines
has represented this district for twelve
years
When the news reached Washington
that John Wesley Gaines had been de-
feated for reelection to Congress from
Tennessee there was regret expressed by
many who knew him. Mr.. Gaines has
become as much Of an institution here as
the monument or Secretary Taft.
John Wesley Gaines has been in Con-
gross six consecutive terms and has had
much to say on many subjects. 1t was
this activity SO his friends say. that de-
feated him. The millions of the tobacco
trust is the weapon. it is alleged, which
nut a dent in the Gaines craftsmanship
career. Mr.. Gaines early in the recent
session picked out the tobacco trust as his
especial prey. His friends had no doubt
that he would be returned in spite Of the
money they felt was being poured into
the sixth district. John Wesley did not
seem SO sanguine.
Mr.. Gaines was probably the hardest
working member of the House. Neither
was he a mere theorist in legislation. on
one occasion Thad Mahon of Pennsylva-
MIA questioned the veracity of Mr.. Gaines
Whereupon Mr.. Gaines hurled two desks
and a swivel chair and lea3ed squarely
into the arms of that good-natured giant
Ollie James of Kentucky. who held him.

EXPECTS STRONG PLANK.
Judge Blacks Impressions Ate,
Seeing BRYAN.

LINCOLN, Neb., June 29.-After an
hours conference with w. ]. Bryan today
Judge w. w. Black of Everett, Wash,
delegate to the national democratic con-
vention. declared that he believed the
national platform would contain a strong
anti-injunction plank. The plank in the
republican platform is considered weak
by both the corporations and the labor
ing men, according to Judge Black. but
the democratic platform will speak in no
uncertain terms. he believes.
John w. Kern of Indiana was the only
candidate for the vice presidency men-
toned by Judge Black. He thought geo.
graphical location would have nothing to
do with the selection of a candidate for
Vice President. The candidate must be
first of all be a Bryan man, he said. John
w. Kern would be entirely acceptable to
the Bryan men of the country, according
to Judge Black.
DENVER, Col. June 29-Roger C. Sui
Ivan, national committeeman from Illi-
nois gave out a statement today embody-
ing his views Of what the platform should
be. Mr.. Sullivan is not the subject of
ardent admiration on the part of Mr.
Bryan. In fact, Mr.. Bryan once specific
ally requested that Mr.. Sullivan resign
from the national committee. It is not to
be expected. therefore, that Mr.. Sullivan
has concerned himself greatly regarding
the views on platform entertained at Lin
coin. While his statement deals largely
with generalities, Mr.. Sullivan makes it
clear that he is opposed to any plank
which differentiates between classes of
citizens either In or out of the courts.
That all men should be equal before the
law. he declares. is the doctrine which
all members of the democratic party are
essentially bound to maintain.
