FOR THE REGULAR TICKET
Number of Counties Signify Their
Intention to Return-Wm. ].
Bryan May be Induced

Nashville, Tenn, Sept 16.-Signs o.
a revolt among the democrats who
have been following the independents
are multiplying in Middle Tennessee.
From many counties comes news that
independents are declaring they will
be in line for the regular nominee in
November provided a sound demo-
crat is put out
In Lawrence, Williamson, Overton,
Bedford, Grundy and other Middle
nessee counties there is undoubtedly a
disposition to cut loose from the coali-
| ton.
In Pulaski today big mass meeting
was held at which regulars and inde-
pendents made speeches in favor of
getting together. There were num-
Der of old confederates present, ex-
pressing themselves as against Hoop
er. Many of these voted the indepen-
dent judicial ticket.
Bryan May be Induced to TaFe
Hand IN Fight.
There is some talk here to the effect
that William ]. Bryan will be asked
to take hand in the pending fight in
Tennessee, but SO far it is nothing but
talk. Absolutely nothing has been
done to sound Mr.. Bryan on the sub
ject, but it has been suggested by
democrat of national reputation that
he believes Mr.. Bryan will be willing
to make some speeches for the regular
ticket if the conditions are put to him
in the proper light 1t is unlikely, it
is said tonight that Senator Taylor, ex-
chairman w. 0. Vertrees, of the inde-
pendent COMMITTEES; Chairman Nath-
an G. Robertson, of the democratic
and Gen. Harvey Hannah |
may join in an address to the democ-
racy of the state within the next day
day or two. This report is believed to
be well founded.
Ex-Mayor James II. Head arrived
here this afternoon from Louisiana,
where he had been On legal business.
He was given a warm welcome, many
democraes declaring to him that he
would accept the nomination. Mr.
Head has never given up his citizen
ship in Tennessee. On the contrary,
he has repeatedly voted in primaries
md regular elections in Nashville
since he became connected with the
eastern interests.
There is, however, no sign of the
iemocrrts centering upon any partic-
liar man fop governor. 50 far, every
BODY is waiting while looking over
he field. The pronounced purpose is
o select the strongest and most avail
Ible man.

Washington, Sept. discrimination
of the report that a petition for the
dissolution of the American Sugar Re
fining company has been completed
by government officials was received
here today 1t was learned that the
present intention at the department of
justice is TO fine the suit in New York
sometime next week. The action will
be entirely Independent of the criminal
proceedings which have attracted such
wide attention and resulted in num-
ber of convictions. Although the plans
Of Attorney General Wickersham have
been known here for sometime subor-
dinate officials of the department de-
clined to discuss the case until they
learned of the conference yesterday be-
tween Mr.. Wickersham and District
Attorney Wise in New York.
While the suit is said TO be similar
to proceedings brought against the
Standard Oil company and the Ameri-
can Tobacco company, both of which
are pending in the supreme court,
the petition is said to be more sweep
ing than either of those and TO present
issues already passed upon by the su-
preme court. For some time there
had been in official cirlces tacit un-
dersta lding that no more actions for
the dissolution of the big corporations
would be begun until after disposition
of the oil and tobacco cases. The
change of program is said to have re-
suited from information gained by the
government during the investigation
of the customs frauds in New York
which supplied the attorney generals
Office with the material necessary for
a prosecution cf the American Sugar
Refining company.
