LIPSCOMB WILL
MAKE THE RACE
VETERAN LEGISLATOR ANNoUNc-
Es HIS CANDIDACY FOR RE-
ELECTION TO HOUSE.
DEAN OF The DEMOCRATIC SIDE
will Make The Contest on HE
Record, Which Is an Open
Book.

Captain A. A. Lipscomb, for four
terms Representative from this county
in the General Assembly of Tonnes
see, today announces his candidacy
for reelection, subject TO the action
of the Democratic party. This an
nouncement will be of interest, not
only to the people Of the county but
throughout Tennessee, since because
of his long experience as legislator
Capt. Lipscomb is well-known all over
the State and has friends in every
county. 1t is not probable from pres
ent indications, that he will have any
opposition, but should he be opposed
it is certain that he will make a strong
race, as he has time and again proven
his strength with the people.
Capt. Lipscomb has served for eight
years in the House of Representatives
and with the exception of Representa-
tive Householder, of Sewer county,
had served longer in the last House
than any other member. He was the
dean of the Democratic side as the
Sewer county member is Republi-
can. Capt. Lipscomb has served con-
tinuously longer than any member
who ever represented this county in
the halls Of legislation. He was one
of the most popular and influential
members of the last Legislature and
had the respect Of even those whom
he opposed in that memorable session.
This county never sent stronger
temperance advocate to the Legisla-
ture than Capt. Lipscomb. His rec
ord will bear the very closest scrutiny
and his character as a member of the
House is above reproach. He opposed
all legislation that was devised for
the special interests" and he was
the consistent friend Of the State
Treasury, voting against the numer-
Gus schemes which were proposed to
relieve it OF its cash There was no
more gallant Confederate soldier from
this county than Capt. Lipscomb made
and he did his old comrades valiant
service as the Chairman Of the Com
mittee on Pensions.
In announcing his candidacy, Capt.
Lipscomb said;
ITO the voters Of Maury county:
In response to the solicitation of Dem
ocrats from the various sections of
Maury county, / hereby announce my
self candidate for the Lower House
of the Fifty-sixth General Assembly
of the State of Tennessee, subject to
the action OF the Democratic party.
My record in, the Legislature is an
open book, If the people are satisfied
with it, and desire my further services
will serve them cheerfully and faith
fully to the best Of my ability"
