lor leaders now realize that their game
is beaten. Bob Taylor is hopeIeasl.
defeated, but that has been expected
all of the time. He did not accept
the nomination to be elected Cover
nor, but has ben used merely as Q

this hope is gone also. The Senate
is now safe for the forces OF good gov

give good majority for the same par.

Machine leaders in the State admit
that they are beaten. One Of the Sen.

turing the Legislature. why you are
sure to get at least twenty Of the thir.-
ty-three Senators. And believe that
the fusionists will also control ma
lority of the HOUSE"
This is the opinion of an astute pol |
itician that has been such hide bound
partisan. Of the Patterson administra
tion that he fed the State in an effort
to defeat the execution of the fair cleo
ton law of 1909. 1t is an opinion
that is shared by local leaders here.
1t is now question of much doubt 40
to the complexion of the Legislative
ticket elected in Davidson county. II
is certain that Mcfarland will be de !
feated and there 10 chance for the
election of the entire independent
Democratic ticket.
I
tricts will show the reason why the u
Senator ABOVE quoted has conceded t
the Senate to the forces of law and 0
order. In the first district the cleo '
ton of the temperance Republican lie r
not disputed The second district IL s.
classed as doubtful, although to win n
the melodious John Isaac Cox must "
overcome an adverse majority IN Au
gust of 100. The third district and e'
he fourth are certain to send tenn e!
perance Republicans. There is a Il
light in the fifth district between q
temperance Democrat and a whisky "
but the county gave over
1000 majority for law and order il r
August and the electio nof the tenn |

The seventh district will elect .
