TAYLOR SAYS 1T
is UNNECESSARY
HUMBOLDT WELCOMES BOB
Democratic Candidate introduced
by Confederate Veteran-He
Captured the Audience

Hum boldt, Oct. Ex-senator Robert
L. Taylor came here from Brownsville
yesterday afternoon and addressed q
crowd at the new Lyric theater that
taxed the capacity of the building.
There were probably 1900 in the audi.
ence, many of them women and chill
dren.
Col. w. M. Mccall, member of the
Humboldt bar, a confederate veteran,
was introduced by Thomas j. Walsu,
who in turn introduced Senator Tay-
lor.
In his speech of little over an hour,
Senator Taylor was given perfect at
tention. He denied that he was lead
ing lawless element in Tennessee pol
itics, but said that he was leading the
same element that he had led for thir-
ty years. He made frequent mention
of the "wobbling" brethren, and de-
clared there was no necessity for them
deserting democracy in this campaign.

CAIN LADY In HOBBLE
SKIRT KICK ANOTHER

New York, Oct. 28-The hobble skirt
was presented as evidence in court yes.
terday. The defendant came into court
with evidence under her arm.
II was the case of Mrs. Bertha Lang
against Miss Frances Stultz in the New
Jersey avenue court. The women had
an argument over Mrs. Lang's husband
one day last week. Miss Stultz had
Mrs. Lang arrested for assault. When
Mrs. Lang said she was attacked first
thejudge asked how.
s'She punched and kicked me-" said
Mrs. Lang.
1t was then that the hobble skirt
was triumphantly produced.
"Do you think could kick anybody
with this on, judge?n Miss Stulz asked
as she held the garment up for his in
spection.
"Why, judge, can just barely glide
along with it on, much less indulge in
violent exercise. Believe me, if you
ever had hobble skirt on, judge, you
would know that you could never
raise your foot in anger"
ann no Solomon" said Magistrate
Gilroy, and dismissed the case.

The Twilight of Life,

The muscles Of the stomach in old age are
not as strong or active as in youth and in
consequence old people are very subject tc
constipation and indigestion. Many seldom
have bowel movement without artificial
aid. Many, also, have unpleasant eructa-
tions Of gas from the stomach after eating.
All this can be avoided by the use Of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which permanent
ly regulates the bowels so that passages
come naturally, and so strengthens the stom-
ach that food is digested without discomfort.
1t is absolutely guaranteed to do what is
claimed, and if you want to try it before

MAJORITY WILL Be 10000
Says That Since Making Whirl-
wind Campaign He will Far
Exceed All Calculations

Nashville, Oct. 31.-'I have beer

campaign tours of this state in thai
time, when party enthusiasm has rur
high, but never before have 1 seen in
West Tennessee such deter minatior

sin the best days of democracy in
this state, when the party was solid,
and when the democratic speaker
brought out the full strength of his
party at every appointment, / never
got such crowds as / have seen this
week. have made from six to nine
speeches per day, and since leaving
Memphis last Monday | have talked to
forty y-eight audiences, every one of
them as large as the size of the eom-
munity would justify.
"My observation teaches me that we
will carry every West Tennessee county
that the democrats are accustomed to
carry, and with the usual democratic
majorities. Gibson and Weakley are
the only, two counties as to which l
feel any alarm as TO the size of the ma
jorities, and in both of them we found
the democrats alert, determined and
hopeful, and since making this trip l
am satisfied of ultimate victory. If
the vote of the state were taken today,
and we had an absolutely fair count,
we would carry the state by good
majority. This prospect will be inn
proved during the coming week, for
the democratic tide is now rising, while
the republican strength is receding."
Senator Taylor in every speech he
made last week repeated the estimate
of his majority at 10000, and upon ar
rival at headquarters here in Nash
vile he finds his estimates verified by
the close calculations of state commit
tee. Maj. Vertrees was chairman of
the independent campaign in August,
and those who we're then associated
with him know how conservative he is
in the matter of giving out campaign
estimates. They know also how close
ly he ga theirs his figures and calcula-
tions. He says the republican MAORI
ty in East Tennessee will not exceed
2O,OOO The campaign party which has
just traversed West Tennessee knows
how easily this majority can be over

RESIDENCE OF
E. J. PITTS BURNED

AT $50 yesterday morning fire was
discovered in the roof of the kitchen of
E. j. Pitts, on Watauga Avenue, just
below New Street. The blaze was dis
covered by John Pitts just after he had
finished breakfast and the alarm i'm
mediately turned in. The house was
badly damaged both by fire and water
but most of the furniture was saved,
but some of it was damaged. Mr..
Pitts has moved his family to the res
idence of M. q. Curtis until the build
ing can be repaired. Loss covered by

started from defective flue as the fire
in lthe kitchen stove had only been
burning short time.

VERTREES
CONFIDENT
STATEMENT LOOKED FOR
And Anxiously Awaited For BY
Voters Says Less than 1O,400
Independents for Hooper

Nashville, Oct. 31.-Chairman w. o
Vertrees, of the state democratic cam
! paign committee, has issued state
ment reviewing the situation and eX
pressing the utmost confidence in thu
! election of Seuator Taylor.
The text of the statement of Majol
Vertrees is as follows:
To the Democrats of Tennessee:
AS chairman of the state executive
committee, have endeavored to ascer
tain the political situation SO as tc
make q statement to you. / can now
do So Our information comes from
the county executive committeeman,
visitors at headquarters and personal
letters from those who were regulars
and independents throughout the state.
This information is most assuring. In
every county there are democrats who
voted for the independent judiciary in
November, but they are not so numer-
Gus as many have been led to believe.
Most of those who voted the independ-
ent ticket in August understood the
situation; they knew they were voting
for one ticket of democratic candidates
against another ticket of democratic
candidates, to be judges. They knew
they were voting for democrats and
they knew the reasons which were in
fuencing them. They understand that
these reasons do not demand that they
shall vote for a republican against a
democrat in November, and for tie
most part they will not do it.
1t is not a question of coming back,
for they do not consider that by voting
between democrats in that election
they had g'ne away. 1t is merely a
question of not going away, and ! can
say with confidence that surprisingly
Jew, in view of the great clamor raised,
have gone astray When Senator Tay-
lor was nominated only thirty-two pa
pers supported him. But the indepen-
dent papers have been dropping into
line until now there are sixty seven.
The American has been lost to democ-
racy, but by change, but by merger
into the Tennessean, which has oppos-
ed Senator Taylor from his nomination;
still there are sixty-seven. The news
all sources, and from every
county is that the independents are
falling into line; that they are changing
from Hooper to Taylor, and that the
democratic vote will fall but little
short of the normal regular vote-not
enough to leave any doubt as to the
election of Senator Taylor l predict
that less than 10000 independents will
vote for Hooper. If only the average
vote be cast, we can lose many more
and still will win. The vote in the
last November election was as follows:
Patterson 1873, 1865, TiIlman, 1928
Total 246, 800, a majority of 20, ,0OO Ten
nessee can vote, and has voted, over
313, 900. 1t is not expected that such
vote will be cast in an off year, but, of
course, the larger the vote the greater
the democratic majority.
The republicans are very active. If
you will turn out as you usually do,
even in off years. and when you get
here, see that the votes you cast are
as cast, Senator Taylor will be
he governor of Tennessee.
