POT IS BOILING
CONTEST FOR CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OF TENNESSEE is HOTTEST
IN YEARS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 26.-Not in
the memory of the oldest Tennessean
has this state known so hot cam
paign for the governorship as that
which closes today, to be followed to-
morrow by democratic primaries which
will decide the victor. Former United
States Senator Carmack is the oppon-
ent Of Governor Patterson who IS
seeking denomination. Joint debates be-
tween the opposing candidates have
been held in many places throughout
the state and have served to excite the
political fever of the voters TO white
heat The question Of prohibition has
been injected into the campaign. with
a majority of the crusaders under the
milk white banner lining up with Sem
ator Carmack.
Patterson was first elected for a
term of two years on a platform that
pronounced for local option, for honest
elections and for a repeal Of the back
assessment law His defenders declare
that he has been faithful to his pledges
and that he is fairly entitled to another
term. by all the rules Of precedent.
Carmack, who was senator for SIX
wears and was defeated for a second
term. has rallied to his support ma
jority of the temperance people ana
the more radical element of the party.
His platform is very similar to that or
Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, VINO
was recently defeated in the primaries
of that state If Carmack should De
elected. it is likely that demand 1or
statewide prohibition would lmme-
diately follow. The state IS aireddy
dry except for the large cities.
The campaign just closed has peer
marked by much vituperauon and IN
yectiye on both sides. The records OF
both candidates have been raked over
with a fine tooth comb.
It is alleged that Carmack. who IS
now supported BY the prohioltionls's
and radical element. once descripeu
them AZ political vagrants and tramp
natriots as motley crew as ever trod
the deck Of a privateer ship. or huduied
together in the cave f Adullum. VI

him Carmack said: They are Gus
sin club, whose platform Is 'damnit.
The prohibitionists, now Carlnach
hoson friends. he once denounced do
"a, ,rild-eyed band of patriots, maue
drunk with the rot-gut harangue VI
demagogue leaders," and as "a recep-
tac,a for all the refuse and turnlp-tops
of politics"
Governor Patterson. too. is accused
bv the Carmack followers OF TOO aoun
dant language, one OF the phra'
which has risen to torment him
rerrine to newspaper men as "pin-hea
