Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, November L., 1910.
"HE election of Ben w. Hooper as
republican Governor of Tennessee
over Senator Robert l.. Taylor, his
democratic opponent, and the doubtful
complexion of the next legislature leaves
the old Volunteer state still in political
confusion.
Should the Taylor democrats control
the organization of the next legislature
and contest Hooper's election the situa-
ton may be even more complicated and
uncertain than it has been for two years,
and a contest is within the range OF pos
sibility. This possibility recalls the fact
that when the election of Fl. Clay Evans,
republican. was contested by the demo-
Gratis and Peter Turney was declared gov
ernor, Bay Taylor, as. governor, signed
the bill requiring that bond of $4,000
must be made by the contesting party
when an election is contested. This law
is still in effect and the condition must
be met should Hooper's election be con-
tested.
Hoopers career has been most re-
markablc one and his nomination and
subsequent campaign have been spectac-
ular and some times sensational He will
be the third republican governor Ten
nessee has had since the civil war and
the first in thirty years. He was elected
i'm safety democratic state largely by
democratic votes, and on every stump in
the state where he has spoken Confed-
crate Veterans have joined in the demon

Susong, and he is editor of the Newport
Pain Talk, up in the little east Tennes-

From the musty little office of the
Plain Talk Susong had quietly wat he'd
the trend of things until two or three
days before the republican convention
was to meet in Nashville. Tenne sees
capital. Suscng knew that the democrats
were hopelessly split and that the noni-
nee must be acceptable to the independ
ent democrats who had denounced the
present governor. Patterson, his machine
ana his methods. He knew also that
there were two factions Of repub leans to
harmonize and he saw that the search for
a man among the available" who should
please both would be vain one.
Susong knew that Hooper had dipped
but gently into the political pool and that
he had never stirred the dregs CT discon-
tent i'll either faction. He knew that
Hooper was CLEAN and straight and that
he was well versed in the law and he
made up his mind that Hooper was the
man 10 he the next Governor of Tennes-
see.
For two days before the convention
leaders of the various factions We're gath
eiing from all sections of the state and
frequent and almost continuous meetings
were being held to try to harmonic on
candidate. Patterson and his followers
were anxiously catching what gossip they
could from the innermost circles. and as
soon as some possibility would loom
objections be raised and Strenuously cir
cuIated If he was a Brownlow repub
Ican the Evans republicans would not
give their consent to his nomination. and
the -Browrlow men could not stand for
man who had been prominently, identified
with the Evans faction. On the other
hand there were the independent demo-
Gratis to please. for only in this union
would enough strength be found to defeat
the Patterson democrats.

There were several prominent aspirants
fer the honor of the nomination and the
friends of each We're active In his inter-
ests Ii was at this time, just two days
before the convention. that Susong arrived
in Nashville, accompanied by Capt. Hoop
er. Neither Hooper nor Susong had any
claims to fame. The former was notable
only locally for having served two terms
i'm the state legislature years ago, and
Susong was only plain country newspa-
per editor.
But Susong got busy early and he stay
ed busy until Hooper was declared the
nominee He seemed to be everywhere at
one time-on the street, in the newspaper
offices and in the hotels. And everywhere
and all the time he talked Hooper inices-
sanity. He had all faith in his man. He
knew him and he never lacked for some,
thing to say in his favor.
Srsohg had already convinced. himself
that Hooper should be the nominee, aud
he set about convincing other people. He
told the Brownlow men that Hooper had
never fought them and he told the Evans
men the same thing. and no one could
deny his statement, for Hooper had dab
bled but little in politics.
Then he told the independent defno-
Gratis that they could find no objection

first time in the history CT the state, was

to Hooper. as he had never voted for
the force bill and had never done any
of the terrible things accredited to the
various '.availableS.
At first people looked upon Susong as
a joke anu they looked upon Hooper not
at all, for he is a modest little man and
he stayed quietly at his hotel allowing
the faithful and the irrepressible Susong
to do the work.
Susong got extremely busy with the
newspapers. Being a newspaper man
himself he knew the game and he con-
fidentially handed out to each Nashville
newspaper tip on the side that Hooper
would certainly be the man. He was
also well supplied with good pictures of
Hooper and sketches of his career. and
no newspaper man is going to turn down
good picture, when the original may
come in on the home stretch.
Up to the afternoon before the conven-
ton there were few who took Hooper's
possible nomination seriously although
Susong had managed 10 get his name
in the headlines of one or two news
papers as possibility in the shape of a
dark horse.
Toward evening, however. people began
to ask about Hooper. and Susons seemed
always on hand with the answer. 1t was
just about the midnight before the conven-
ton that the Brownlow men and the Evans
men and the independents each agreed
that Hooper was not at all bad. and that
they heard about him the better they
liked him. And so Susong was able to
get to the reporters with the straight
