the Republican convention which as
sembled in this city today for the
nomination of candidates for governor
and State railroad commissioner.
Never before i'm the history of the
party in Tennessee have the Repub-
licans been more hopeful of success
than they are now. Predictions Of a
Republican executive TO succeed Gov

Republican confidence is based not
so much upon the strength OF their
own party as upon the disaffection in
the Democratic ranks The result OF
the recent judicial election, I'm which
the Independent candidates were sue
cessful over those indorsed by the
state administration. showed conclu-
sively that a restoration Of harmony
in the Democratic ranks is out Of the
question for the present at least. The
Republicans refrained from nominat-
ing "A judicial ticket and threw their
strength to the support of the inde-
pendent candidates. In return the Re-
publicans expect that the Independent
Democrats. or n large part Of them,
will vote for the Republican guber-
Material candidate in November I'm
order To make the downfall OF Gov
ernor Patterson complete.
If the coalition which buried the adj
ministration judicial ticket stands un-

the retirement of Governor Patterson
To private life may be accomplished.
The Governors only hope is that those
Deocrats who combined with the Re-
publicans i'm the recent election will
return to the party fold before Novem-
ber. If they do not, then the election
of a Republican governor I'm Tennes-
