RACE FOR SHERIFF
To Serve Out His Term For Contempt,
Then Ask the People To
Re-elect Him.
Bv associated Press


Washington, Nov. 17.-Rather than
ask fer clemency from the government
that has fixed upon him the stigma of
failure to perform his duty as sheriff,
Joseph F. Shipp probably will choose
to go back to the people of Hamilton
county. Tenn, after his term in Jail for
contempt of the supreme court of the
United States has been served, and test
their confidence in him by asking them
to re-elect him to his old office.
His sentence of ninety days in jail
for failing to prevent the lynching of
Ed Johnson, the negro, whose legal ex
Iecution for criminal assault had been
stayed or review by the supreme court
will expire just in time to allow Cap
tain Shipp to begin campaign for
sheriff.
The Nashville, Tenn. lodge of Elks
has wired President Taft asking a
pardon for Shipp, who is state treas
urer of the order.
