NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 6.-Wha
/ the Nashville American has repeated
4 " designated as the coalition bill
and the "fusionist" measure, viz: thu
uniform or emblem" ballot bill inrto
duced into the senate by Senator Swat
several days ago, was tabled by the
senate Friday afternoon The meas
ure was tabled by the alleged faction
of the coalition known as the state
widers.
While it is true that Senator Swab S
vote was the only one recorded against
tabling the bill, it is also a fact that
the administration forces In the SEN
ate did not vote to table until a test
vote had conclusively demonstrated
that Ihey could not hope to hold up
action on the bill longer. This test
vote came when Senator Neal moved
that the bill be re-referred to the com
mittee on privileges and elections. Sen
ator Holiday opposed this motion and
demanded a roll call, which developed
the extraordinary and remarkable
spectacle of the republicans and the
administration forces voting as a unit
TO re-refer and the temperance SEN
ators recording their votes the other
way.
The vote on the motion to re-refer
was Is to 13 against and on the motion
to table 25 to 1 in favor of tabling.
Mr.. Meals Position.
In justice to Senator Neal it can be
said that he was entirely consistent
when he moved to re-refer the bill to
he committee on privileges and cleo
ions. At the morning session he had i
opposed any action, until after the [
legislative recess, on either the county
election commissioners bill, or the /
Measure providing for the state board
# election commissioners to be elect
d by the general assembly. In each
Instance Senator Neal stated that his
motive for desiring to refer action was
hat the voters of Tennessee may be
card from in regard to the bills.

TWO WINNERS
.INCLOCK CONTEST
MRS. AUSTIN OWEN AND w. r.
FOSTER ARE THE LUCKY
GUESSERs.
Pendulum's Last Oscillation Thurs
day Afternoon At
5:57:o8.
The clock has stopped.

AT exactly ffty-seven minutes and
eight seconds past five o'clock Thurs
day afternoon the clock which for the
past eleven days has stood in the
window of McKennon. Anderson &
Foster softly whispered it's dying tick
and the pendulum ceased to oscillate.
AS a result of their good guessing
Mrs. Austin owen, of Columbia, and
Mr. w. R. Foster, of Culleoka neigh
borhood. are today joint owners of the
beautiful Administer rug which the en-
terprising firm offered as a prize to
the one who came nearest the mark
The two fortunate guessers lacked
two minutes and fifty-two seconds of
stating exactly when the time piece
would run down.
The contest was inaugurated eleven
days ago. At that time an eight day
clock was wound tightly and placed
in the window. 1t was advertised that
the person guessing the nearest the
time when it would run down would
be given handsome prize. During
the period that the clock remained in
the window between seven and eight
thousand guesses were made. On
the fourth day of the contest over six
hundred guesses were registered. BY
he conditions governing the contest
each purchase to the value of $1.00 |
entitled the purchaser to one guess.
As it was stated at the outset that
he winners, in the event that two or
more tied, would be permitted to set
lie among themselves the ownership
# the prize, or would be given a pro-
part of its value, it remains
or Mrs. owen and Mrs. Foster to con.
er and determine how chey shall di-
ide the reward.

NEW ELECTION BILLS
WILL GIVE PEOPLE
POWER TO GOVERN
MEASURE INTRODUCED ~ GEN
ERAL ASSEMBLY TO KILL
MACHINE RULE.
The GOVERNOR Is QUOTED
Patterson On Record As Having Made
Elaborate And Lengthy Arguments
IN Favor of The Direct Primary
Plan.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 5.-In ad
dition 10 the legalized primary bill
introduced in the general assembly
Thursday, TWO other election measures
OF equally as great importance were
offered.
One of these measures provides that
the members Of the state board OF
elections shall be elected by the gen.
eral assembly in joint session, instead
OF appointed by the governor, as at
present. The other provides for the
method of selecting election commits
sioners of each county.
The bill taking the appointing power
out of the. hands of the governor pro-
Vides that where a vacancy occurs
when the legislature is in session,
that the other two members shall fill
such vacancy If there are two vacan-
cies at any one time a board consist
ing of the secretary of state, comptrol-
Ter and treasurer shall fill the vacan-
cies.
The first of these two bills was in
troduced yesterday in the senate by
Mr. Lane of Williamson county and In
the house by Messrs Humphyrews,
Chestnut and Messic. The other bill
was introduced in the upper house by
Messrs Thomas, Blackburn and 9th
ers, and in the lower branch by
Messrs. Tatum, Whitfield and Lips
comb. 1t is needless to remark to
those who are familiar with the situa
tion that none of these gtnelemen
have been known as administration"
men.
No Opposition.
In view of what Governor Patterson |
has had to say in the past In his
speeches and messages on the subject
of election laws it is but natural to
suppose that he will favor the two
as they are strictly in &C
cord with what he has advocated, and
they are also in line with the recon-
of senator, or ex-governor,
gonn l. Cox.
Although the measures propose some
very radical changes, it is but natural {
o presume that they will receive the
support of administration as well as (
MISUNDERSTANDING legislators n
