bob" taylor NAMED.
Tennessee Democrats Would Have No
Other for Governor.

Nashville Tenn.,-For the fourth
time in his long and picturesque po-
litical career, Robert l.. Taylor, pres
ent United States Senator, has again
been called upon by the regular
Democrats of Tennessee to be their
candidate for Governor, and has
accepted the honor. No other name
was presented to the State conven-
ton, the nomination being made
by reclamation and enid wild en-
thusiasm.
It became apparent that the mass
es would have no one but Taylor,
and despite his protest, the Sena-
tor was forced to yield. His sena-
torial term does not expire until
1912, but II will not be necessary
for him to resign to make the race
for Governor. The platform was
drawn to suit Senator Taylor.

Our Apology.

The News has offered very few
apologies in It's time, but this week
we must explain that our paper is
not up to what II would have been
but for the run OF bad luck" that
has overtaken our plant. On Tues
day the main shaft of our large gas
engine broke and 1t was impossi-
BILE to get a new one in time to
print this issue. So we borrowed a
small engine and installed It to run
in connection with our small one.
Thus equipped we finally succeed
ed in printing the paper, but the
loss of time interfered with the op-
Grafton of the linotype and there
is a shortage Of news matter.
