GOV. PATTERSON
DEFEATS CARMACk
Tennessee Primaries Result
in Defeat for Statewide
Prohibition Idea.

Memphis, June II. Returns
received from the Democratic
primaries indicate the nomina-
ton of Gov. M. r. Patterson for
a second term over United States
Senator E. w. Carmack.
The campaign just ended was
the most remarkable in the his
tory of the state and was note
worthy for the introduction Of
preachers, children and women
in politics in greater numbers
than in any political clash in the
Volunteer State.
Fer the first time in Tennes-
see, aspirants for a Democratic
nomination met in joint debate.
Prominent Democrats, including
United States Senator Bob Tay-
lor, urged against such a plan,
contending that such methods
would split the party, but the
candidates decided on the plan to
discuss in joint debate their is
sues before the people and pre-
sent their claims for recognition.
Great crowds attended ffty-two
speeches, which started in April
and ended three days before the
polls opened.
The issue at the outset was met
by both candidates squarely. Sen
ator Carmack declared for state
wide prohibition. Governor Pat
terson took the stand that the
present temperance laws, giving
each locality its right to pass
upon the matter, are the proper
thing.
In Nashville, Memphis and
Knoxville, hundreds of women
and chill rem paraded the streets
and Journeyed to the polls clad in
the colors of the rival candidates.
Patterson people wearing white
and Carmack followers carrying
standards of red.
The women in few instances
worked for Patterson, but 90 per
cent wore Carmack colors. Ban
ners, bearing eve can not vote,
but our husbands and fathers
car" were h listed by children
and women, who surrounded the
polls in Memphis, many veneur-
ing into the red light" dis
tricts.
The fight has been the most
spectacular ever waged in the
history Of this state. Partisan
lines have been drawn almost to
the bursting point, and partisan
feeling has been keyed periious-
ly near the danger stage when
the two candidates met face to
face in 81 different towns Of the
state and tossed back and forth
into the teeth o. each other
charges and counter-charges.
Waving the red banner to their
champion, friends of prohibition
have cheered Senator Carmrck
as, day after day, he has preach
ed the gospel of Estate wideism"
has pleaded With the voters that
the saloons have sinned a gay
their day of grace and should be
scoWged rom the state. Jeer
have been hurled at the govern
or, and he has been openly ac-
cused of having behind him the
saloons, gamblers, divekeepers,
murderers and ruff and scruff Of
the state.
Under the white emblem of the
governor, his friends have yelled
themselves hoarse as he argued
for local option and local self
government. He has led the cru
SADIE for the right of each county
to decide its own affairs. That
this is the only true Democratic
doctrine has been the plea of the
governor. His friends have ac-
cused Senator Carmack Of being
insincere, an Incorporate man
himself and simply riding a wave

grenade like bullet at the rock.

and OF the sincere, few were unselfishly
interested-his sister, eileen, Drina and
Lansing-and maybe on or two others.
However, the younger set, now pre-
dominant from Wyossett to Wonder
Head, made up parties TO visit Selwyns

The cornetist. the trumpeter and the
players OF the oboe and other wind in
struments invariably have rosy cheeks
and well developed cheek muscles. and
Prof. Gerllng insists that any woman
who will try this tube exercise and keep
II up for couple OF months will obtain
the same results.
Prof. Gerl!ng. who goes back to ma
ture for his physical exercises beleves
that the finest exercise to he found is
the natural one that accompanies an
unembarrassed yawn. The natural
stretching OF the muscles in the act OF
yawning brings every part OF the anat-
omy into play. 1t even affects the
muscles OF the ears, and the idea of re-
taxation and tension OF the muscles
which underlies all the modern physical
culture movements is illustrated here in
natural and very convincing way.
Prof Gerling's Thin One must stretch
herself with unrestrained vigor several
times day.
After that. any OF the well known
West Point exercises can be practised.
