Scratching Tickets.

There will be scratching ut the polls mex
week, though to what extent is ques-
ton. Ballots now are a comp ,icated propo-
sition unless taken in the regular party
order. Picking and choosing among name

care or the result is disaster to the bal

voter may throw away his vote as 10 all

The Tennessee Contest.

Meanwhile, what progress is Senat OF
Taylor making in Tennessee? Interesting
as he is. he has been crowded cut of the
general dispatches. OF course he is or
the stump. 1t was his stunping talent
that caused him to be drafted The
people needed to be joliied, and he was a
prince of jolliers. He had a record which
singled him out for service. If anybody
could save the day. he could. If even he
could not, then the losers would be the
more resigned.
But has Mr.. Taylor been obliged to
take down the fiddle and the bow? Did he
find matters SO desperate that the music
of the strings must be added to the music
of his tongue? In other days he found
fddling a help; and there is no report
that his art has declined. Once a fid
dler always fiddler. although the fid-
dler. like the prize fighter or the billiard
player. must keep in practice. to achieve
the best results. !,
But, whether with or without the fiddle,
II Mr., Taylor wins HIS race he is going
to BE not only some pumpkins bat
more pumpkins, both at home and else
where, than ever before. He will have
done what at one time seemed impossible
He will have defeated the strongest re-
publican in the state and drawn back
into the party Thousands of disaffected
democrats who had temporarily left it,
Col. Hooper's only hope is in the staying
qualities of the men who broke with
their party on the Pattersonian question
If he secures this greater prestige how
will Mr.. Taylor use 1t? How will he dis
tribute his favors? And will he not have
a good many to distribute if the democ-
racy captures the next presidency? What
Tennessee democrat will have as much in
fiuence at the White House as he? 1t
will not be necessary for him to fiddle
his way into that edifice. Whether the
occupant halls from east or west, or
from the middle territory. he will be
mighty glad to see the man who turned
such a trick at home in the face Of such
difficulties.
If Mr. Taylor loses, there will still be
the Senate. His opponents prod him with
the fact that he holds on to his present
commission, which does not expire until
March, 1913. He is playing a cautious
game. He likes the Senate and it is not
unlikely that if elected governor he will
serve but short time in the Office, and
then ask and obtain return to Wash

Altogether, seldom has an amiable man,
with q taste for song and story. been
called to such a crisis, and there Is much
curiosity as to how he will acquit him.
