DIR. r. B. RUSSELL
DISTRICT AGENT

DIR. T. B. Russell, of this city, was
yesterday appointed district superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League for
East Tennessee. He will begin his
work next Sunday at Maryville. The
following Sunday he will be at Greene

DR.. Russell is one of the strongest
ministers in East Tennessee and for
many years was one of the leading
ministers in the Holston conference of
the M. e. church. AS a lecturer he
has made an enviable reputation and
it is due largely to his we'll known abil-
ty as DICTATOR that he has been select
ed to lead the Anti-Saloon League
forces in East Tennessee. The Comet
believes no better selection could have
been made.

NJ M|LL|N May
Be CANDIDATE.

Nashville, April 19.-Gov. M. R. Pat
terson is a third term candidate fol
governor of Tennessee.
Ex-Gov. Benton McMillin is can
didate for the United States senate to
succeed Senator J. B. Frazier.
Gov Patterso / will be without oppo-
sition before the primary, called for
June by the state democratic execu-
tive committee.
There will be two full tickets for the
supreme court and the court of civil
appeals before the August election.
Observation-Disclosures democrats will
hold state convention early in May,
looking to the reorganization of the
party in this state, but no action will
then be taken with reference to the
nomination of a candidate for governor.
The present blanket primary plan
promulgated by the democratic state
executive committee will stand una
mended, no propositions being made
from the opposition looking to any
compromise measures.
Gov. Patterson may take the stump
at an early date in behalf of his own
candidacy for re election.
1t is not yet known whether the anti
administration democrats will or will
not nominate a candidate for governor.
This in brief is the democratic situa-
ton in Tennessee today.
Inquiry at the Tulane hotel where
former Gov. McMillin has apartments
brought forth the reply this morning
that he was not in the city. He could
not, therefore, be seen by reporter
who called for him. 1t was learned,
however, that Gov. McMillin had made
the statement to friends that he was
for the United Slates senate
to succeed Senator James b. Frazier.
The Banner predicted yesterday and
on former occasions that his announce
men for the senate would soon be made
and that he will shortly have some
thing definite to say to The people of
Tennessee regarding his candidacy for
the higest legislative body in the world
there can be no doubt.

KNOXVILLE VISITED
BY THE CYCLONE

Knoxville, Tenn, April Is
This afternoon at z O'Clock
chains of lightning played over
the armament and peals OF
thunder annotated in this Sec
ton. Shortly after 100 o'clock,
the rain began and soon it in
creased to torrents. and this was
made more decided later by the
tightening and thunder, which
caused more or less apprehen-
sion in Office buildings and up
town stores.
The Tightening completely
shattered the top of a telephone
post on the corner of State
street and Cumberland avenue
and damaged the telephone
wires on that post. The light
ming played on top of the post.
AS stated by several men who
witnessed the crash they were
completely blinded by this flash
and were so frightened at the
time that they could only stand
and gaze on the electric sparks
as they danced around the top
of the post.

Special to The Comet.
Bluff City, Tenn, April 19.-At 8
o'clock this afternoon a remarkable
wreck occurred on the V. & s. W.,
railroad, just east of the Southern
crossing. AS the local freight from
Elizabethton, consisting of engine and
caboose, was entering Bluff City, the
track on the big fill began to sink,
caused by the recent heavy rains, and
the engine and cab went down the
bank and stopped within about fifty
feet of the river The crew jumped to
safety. Two lady passengers also saved
their lives by jumping before the ca
boose was overturned. No one was
hurt.

agree TO them.
/ have no doubt, the committee,
for the sake of harmony in the par
ty and and in order to prevent a
threatened breach, will modify the
plan if my proposition is accepted.
This would relieve the situation and
remove any possible objection to
having the judiciary voted for on the
same day with candidate for gov
ernor, and will also afford an oppor-
tunity to those judges who have re-
fused to be bound by constituted
party authority to prove that they

nation to the people.
IF this offer is not accepted With
in the time designated, then evety
man in Tennessee will know that
there is no sincerity in the criticism
of the primary plan, as l have charg.
ed, or in the objection which has
been raised to bringing the judiciary
into politics, and if it is accepted |
will be glad to acknowledge l was in
