IS DELAYED.-DEMoCRATs
CONTRASTING

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Shiveri
have been chasing themselves up and
down the spinal columns of members
who must face serious contests in
their States or districts If they come
back to the next Congress, ever since
John Dwight, the Republican whip of
the House of Representatives, issued
his prediction that the present session
would not adjourn before July Is.
Even the most pessimistic mem
bers had thought there would be little
difficulty in getting away by the end
Of June, but week has passed since
Mr.. Dwight made his forecast, and In
that time little progress has been
made That this prediction was made
as bluff" for the purpose of impell.
ng both branches Of Congress to be-
'tir themselves was believed by the
leaders, but there is
LANCER now that the session will run

FOLLOW THE NEGRO,
SAYS JACKSON TO
HAM REPUBLICANS
POSTMASTER ADVISES PATTER
soNITEs TO DROP THEIR
FALSE coLoRs
VERY STRONG INTERVIEW
Those Republicans Who Advocate
Separate judicial Candidates Are
Enemies to the Party, he EmpI.at.
ieaIly Declares.

John W. Jackson, Postmaster al
Columbia, former member of the
State Republican Executive Commit.
tee, and for many years chairman CT
the Maury County Republican Execu,
tive committee, in an interview here
Tuesday denounced the attempts Of GER
tain Republicans to put out a judicial
ticket as Patterson move pure and
simple and advised all such Rebubli.
cans to follow the negro into the Pat
terson party.
Mr.. Jackson said. Il have noted
with some amusement ana much scorn
the efforts of certain Republicans in
different parts of the State to put out
a separate Judicial ticket. All such
talk is the merest buncombe and is
nothing but an effort on the part OF
these Republicans to boost the wan
ing cause Of Patterson.
THE real Republicans, those Tho
have the welfare of the Party at
heart are opposed to putting out spe-
cial judicial ticket. OF those who
have expressed Themselves as favor
ing separate judicial ticket 80 pei
cent are followers of Patterson and
veted for him in the last election an"
will vote for him again. They have no
light to claim the name Republican !
10 at heart they are opposed to the
Party's success. If they had the
of their convictions they
would come out boldly for Patterson
md would not seek to cover their de-
igns with the Party cloak. Let them
let into the Patterson party where
hey belong. The negro preceded
hem two years ago. We didn't Eant
he negro and we don't want the Pat
ersonites. Let them all go together.

mercial value to Columbia, where IL
