privileges of the floor, but that it
wouldn't be worth while for him to
speak after he had been ousted. Chair
man Hunt extended to Mr.. Smiser the
privileges of the floor.
For the next thirty minutes Mr.
Smiser kept the members Of the COM
mittee on the anxious seat At times,
as he commented on the majority re-
port, the signers of the report would
| drop their heads or look away to the
balmy distance. They were evident
| ly uncomfortable Mr. Smiser spoke
with great emphasis, but his voice was
mOdulated to a parliamentary tone,
and his words were diplomatic and
well chosen. He was forceable and
eloquent, at times brilliant, and pure
ly as forensic effort the speech was
masterpiece. But it was also logi-
cal, reciting the election of the com.
mittee Of which he was chairman, the
inherent right of the people to elect,
and declaring that he was the sworn
and lawful chairman of the committee,
and that under the law none other had
the right to act. Citing his well estab-
lished authority to act, Mr.. Smiser de-
clared that the ink was hardly dry
with which he had certified to the |
nomination OF candidates for attorney !
general and Judge in the recent judi
cial primary, and that he had acted In
that committee with the two signers
of the majority report and by the same
he now appeared as a men,
Der of the Congressional committee
by virtue of being chairman of the
Maury County Democratic Executive
Committee. Mr. Smiser said that per-
sonally he had no desire to serve on
the committee; that he would not walk
around the block for the honor: but
hat as a representative of the Democ-
-acy of Maury county he felt it his du-
y to resent In "a manly and courag-
,ous way" the monstrous proposition
which the majority report recommend
ID. Pointing his finger squaTely in the
aces of the various members Of the
as he circled the room, Mr.. {
'miser said my cheek would man !
lie with shame, were ! to say to you,
r you, or you that / challenge your
light to represent the Democrats of
our county on this committee. Iia
now and every member on this COM 6

The Patterson supporters in the
Democratic Executive Committee of
the Seventh Congressional district,
falling back on the feudal doctrine
that might makes right" with scant
ceremony deposed Chairman James A.
Smiser, of Maury county, Thursday
afternoon, seating in his stead John
M. Burns, chairman of the boiling
county committee, whose alleged Gre
dentials are yet less than a month
old.
The committee, evidently hesitat-
ing between two opinions, and no
doubt trying to placate two factions,
generously sliced Chairman Smiser's
vote into halves, giving pieces of the
same and exact proportion to Mr.. Smi-
ser and Mr.. Burns. Declaring that he
was whole man and would not sit hv
and be robbed of half vote, Mr.. Smi-
ser Indignantly retired from the meet
mig, after which the committee rapid
ly dispatched its work and soon ad-
journed.
A primary election for August 4, the
same day as the regular judicial cleo
ton, was ordered. This primary is
modelled after the recent judicial pri-
mary. and is practically the same. 1t
is wide open affair with no restric-
tons as to poll tax, registration or
Australian ballot All known white,
Democrats over twenty-one years Of
age" are eligible to participate in the
primary.
Plans are Laid.
Hardly had the committee adjourn /

elbowed by Patterson supporters and !
carried away for secret conferences.
So busy we're the wire workers that

nothing toward darfting the
primary plan. This necessitated de-
lay of one hour, while the plan was I
being typed and being gotten ready
for presentation. 1t was 2 o'clock be-
fore the committee got down to real
business.
Senator Clarence Turner, OF Humph-
reps county secretary Of the commit
tee, read the call and stated that the '
Chairman being absent It was In or I
Ter to elect a chairman. Mr.. Hunt 6
was placed in nomination and elected I
without opposition. Senator Turner t
vas then elected secretary. /
This was the first move, for both 7
Hunt and Turner we're Patterson men.
Mr.. Smiser then moved that the a

FIGHT DOCTORS DISAGREE
Tommy Burns Says Jeffries
Looks a Sure Winner.

San Francisco, June 29.-Tommy Burns,
whom Jack johnson defeated and who ar
rived from Australia yesterday, will go to
Reno on Saturday TO see the fight Burns
naturally thinks Jeffries will win, as he
never has had d good word for Johnson
since the negro whipped him.
Lang and Mcintosh say they think John
son is a sure winner
Burns said: II look for Jeffries to knock
out Johnson about tine twentieth round.
If Jeffries is only half as good as he
used to be he will win. Johnson will quit
if the white man lands a few stiff punches
on his stomach. Johnson is game only
against little fellows like Ketchel and my
self
After the fight between Johnson and
myself in Australia Johnson went next day
to the doctor, who told him my punches
had broken two ribs. Now, 1t stands to
reason. if Jeffries ever wallops him he will
cave in all his ribs
Mcintosh thinks johnson should win In
the nineteenth round as he doesn't think
Jeffries can come back Lang believes
Johnson will win with terrific stomach
punches.
Bob FitZsimmons, who arrived on the
Mariana from Sydney last night picks
tie. He thinks the fight will go over
twenty rounds. Johnson, he believes. while
clever, has not the punch
