CONVENTION
NEXT TUESDAY
REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE COM.
MITTEE MEETS AND TAKES
ACTION.
hot RESOLUTION INTRODUCED
Trouble Was imminent, And Res
olution Was With
drawn.

The Republican Executive Commit
tee Oh Maury county met In the once
Of Hopkins & Mcknight Tuesday
and called a mass convention to meet
In the Circuit Court room in Column
bia at noon on Tuesday, March Srd
for the purpose of electing delegates
from the county to the Congressional
convention. which meets at Dickson,
Tenn, March oath and delegates from
the county to the State Convention,
which meets in Nashville, March 25th.
Things looked a bit squally for
time at the meeting. but wiser counsel
prevailed and the meeting as a whole,
was Unexpectedly harmonious. The
trouble started when William Barker
offertn the following resolution:
whereas, it is the desire of the
Federal administration that it shall
not appear that it is the of1ce-holders
who arc trying to force the nomina-
ton of Hon. w. M. Taft; therefore, be
1t resolved by the Republican Execu-
tive Committee Of Maury county that
at the convention to be held March
3rd to select delegates to the State
and Congressional Conventions, no
Federal offiee-holder shall participate
or have any coice directly or indirect
ly in the proceedings"
Immediately upon the reading OF the
resolution Postmaster Jackson OF Co
lumbia arose and started to protest,
but 1t was ruled by Chairman Hopkins
that the resolution was not properly
before the committee. The resolution
was seconded, and at once motion to
table was offered and received sec
ond. Mr.. Barker called for division
and a roll call, and then the question
arose as to who really compose the
Republican executive committee Of
Maury county. This question prom
ised a further warm discussion, but
Hon. e. L. Gregory and Col. A. M
Hughes both spoke for harmony and
the resolution was withdrawn.
Col. Hughes and Mr.. Gregory II
their plea for harmony pointed to the
faction in the ranks Of the Democrats
and to some rather disgraceful scenes
that had taken place in Democratic
councils.
Mr.. Gregory said the only rift II
the ranks of Republicans of Maury
was the contest between Mr. Hopkins
and himself for district representative
to the National Convention. That Mr.
Hopkins and himself could be allowed
% settle their own differences. They
were personal friends and whatever
the result they would still be friends
This talk by Mr.. Gregory met heart,
RESPONSE from Mr.. Hopkins.
The following resolution was OF
fered and adopted unanimously:
I'VE hereby endorse the admins
tration of President Roosevelt. ant
recommend as his successor Hon. w
M. Taft and further pledge our IN
qualified support to Hon. g. N. TIL
man for Governor.

Most Important Meeting Of the Year
Scheduled for Tomorrow.
The most important meeting of the
year for Lincoln Typographical Union
No. 209 is scheduled for tomorrow af
ternoon, $50 at Fraternity hall. On
this occasion candidates to fill the
Offices of the union for the ensuing
twelve months will be nominated The
proposition of levying an assessment
to send delegate to Boston will come
up for final decision. Plans for the
proper observance of Memorial Sun
day" will be presented for acceptance
or rejection. And in addition arrange
ments are to be made for the regular
election to be held three weeks later.
Heretofore the approach of an cleo
ton has been the cause of a lot of
union politics, but for some cause or
other there seems to be little or no in
terest this year. There are no an
nounced candidates for any of the Of
fees save that of delegate. notwith-
standing the fact that the officers elect
ed this month will be entrusted with
the delicate task of making a new con-
tract to take the place of the present
one which expires in February of next
year.

Famous 20 years ago only as Ma
tional league baseball pitcher. John X
Tener. millionaire banker of Chartered
Pa. and grand exalted ruler OF the
Elks of North America, will go to the
next session CT congress and sit in the
seat that for IA years has been occu-
pied by Emmett F. Acheson. as repre-
sentative of the Twenty-fourth district
Tener was recently nominated by the
Republicans by an overwhelming ma
iority, to the surprise of everybody but
himself, and in that district a nomina-
ton is as good as an election In the
late SOS Tener was a pitcher for the
Pittsburg and Chicago baseball teams
In turn, and when A. G. Spalding took
the AllAmerican team ON a trip
around the world he took Tener along
as one of the pitchers Soon after the
start was made, Spalding discovered
that Tener had financial ability, and
he made him the treasurer of the out
fit During the time they were gone
they visited 2s different countries. and
the money had to be changed almost
as many times Tener paid for every
thing. and when the team returned to
the United States and his accounts
were audited, it was found that there
was an Overplus of exactly seven
cents SpaIding was so pleased that
he offered Tener a position with his
New York concern, but Tener was
busy forming the Inflated Brotherhood
and when it collapsed he gave up the
game and went to Chartered and made
fortune in real estate and banking
there
