CHANGE OF SENTIMENT
AT MURFREESBORO.

MurfreesboIo, Aug. 19.-Now that a
republican candidate has been nomi-
mated for governor, with possility of
being elected, contrary to expectations,
the independents here do not appear to
be as anxious to defeat Gov. Patterson
as they were before the republican con-
vention. 1t seems that reaction has
set in and the rank and file of the party
are now beginning tc realize to what
extent politicians had played on their
prejudice against Gov. Patterson. The
change Of sentiment is quite noticeable.

PRESENTS SEW
ERAL QUESTIONS
GAN HARMON VINES SERVE
During Contest; If Not, Will Gov
Patterson Appoint Them Or
Select Two Democrats ?

Bristol, Tenn Aug. 19.-
Pending the disposition of the
contest which has been filed in
connection with the recent ju-
d1cial election in the first Tennes-
see district, whereby Judge H.
Tyler Campbell and Maj. Paul
E. Divine, the defeated candi-
dates foe judge and attorney gen.
eral, respectively, hope to. pre-
vent Dana Harmon and David A.
Vines from serving in the posi-
tions to which they were elected,
alleging that they used money
and whiskay to influence the
election. Gov. Patterson is ex-
pecled to appoint judge ard an
attorney general. The opinion
is expressed here, upon the al
legep basis that a deal was in eff
feet between the Patterson fore
es and Harmon and Vines during
the election that Patterson may
designate the two men who were
elected to hold the courts pend
ing the contest. Others think
that the governor will name DEM
ocrats for these positions, espec-
tally siuce the ligitation may
continue for year, considering
that it may be carried to the SUI
preme court.
1t is said here that if the
judgeship shonld go to a demo-
crat, Edward 4. Bachman, the
defeated Patterson candidate for
the civil court of appeals, would
be the logical man for the ap-
pointment. But the friends OF
Mr.. Bachman say that he would
not accept the Office.
II. H. Carr, of Johnson City,
is saidsto be a candidate for the
appointment, and for the last few
days has been meeting the mem
bers of the bar in upper Tennes-
see. Thad A. Cox, a cousin OF
cousin of former Governor Cox,
and a drominent lawyer of John-
son City,is prominently mention-
ed for appointment as attorney
generol. 1t was made public
here today taat on Monday OF
this week Governor Patterson
issved commissions to Harmon
and Vines, and that Immediately
thereafter Harmon went before a
magistrate in Nashville and quail
flied as judge of the first circuit.
This raises th3 legal question
as to whether Harmon and Vines
will or will not serve pending
the contest. Some are of the inn
preston that, Holding the COM
missions, there will be no way TO
prevrnt their serving during the
contest. .

INDEPENDENT
DEMOCRATS
WILL SUPPORT HOOPER
No Disposition on Part of Anti
Machine Democrats to Com
promise-Patterson the Issue

Nashville, Ang. 20.-There
will be no independent democrat
ic candidate for governor nomi-
mated in Tennessee this year.
The fixed policy of tee leaders of
the independent faction in the
party is to support the republi-
can nominee, Capt. r. w. Hoop
er, of Newport. Unless all pres
ent indications fall, the fusion
understanding, or whatever else
it may be called, between the in
dependent faction is to support
the republican nominee, Capt.
B. w. Hooper, of Newport. I'm
less all present indications fail,
the fusion understanding, or
whateqer else it may be called,
between the independent demo
Gratis and the republicans of Ten
nessee through which a notable
victory for non-partisan judic-
iary was won August 4, will be
carried through the approaching
gubernatorial campaign as the
best and most certain way to ac-
complish the overwhelming de-
feat Of Gov. NJ. II. Patterson, and
rid the state of political machine
methods by returning the con-
troll of their own affairs to the
people.
Patterson Is Issue
The issue in this state has
beed clearly drawn. 1t is the
anti-Pattersonism VS.. Patterson
ISM.
There has been more or less
speculation as to whether there is
likely to be a joint discussion be-
tween Capt. Hooper and Gov.
Patterson. 1t is confidently pre-
dicted from many sources that
there is no likelihood of such a
Both nominees will
take the stump early in Septem-
Der and will certainly carry on
an active, aggressive campaign
throughout the entire state, but
there seems at present no possi-
bility of their meeting on the
stump.
While Tennessee has perhaps
never seen a more strenuous cam
paign than that which ended
the judiciary election of August
4, the campaign between now
and November promises to be
still moreI strenuous. In addit-
ion to electing governor and
railroad commissioner next No
the people of Tennessee
will elect a new general assem-
bly,. There, there will be many
sides to the approaching CAM
paign. 1t viii be fight Of nu-
details, a fight in which
the admidistrationists and the
independent democrats and repub-
licaus will use every effort to
elect a majority of the members
of the next state law-making
body. The legislative contest
will naturally intensity the local
interest in the campaign thrugh-
out Tennessee.

boating He was tho oldest son Of Sir
Timothy Shelley. He WAS sent to the
famous school at Eton and from
thence went to Oxford University.
From this than great institution he
was expelled for propOUnding, as the
professors had invited, questions Of
difficult solution He was evidently
young scept1c and hence. among other
questions he asked concerning the
existence Of a God. He was SUNNI arily
expelled because Of the character Of
his inquiry. He soon after married
beautiful young girl Miss Westbrooke.
The union proved to be an unhappy
and unfortunate one, and they soon
separated forever. Not very long af-
terwards she committed suicide. Later
Shelley married Mary, daughter Of
William Goodwin. a man of superior
points, and author of q once famous
work regarded as a classic called
Caleb Williams" Her mother was
the rarely gifted and distinguished
Mary Woldstorncreft, probably the
most remarkable female intellect Of
her time, and the author of a work
which created much excitement in it's
day, her then very distinguished book
on The Rights of Women" In intel
lectual ability it was regarded at the
time Of its publication as being SO
great that it was reported that the
great English statesman. William Pitt,
the younger. son Of the very emin nent
Lord Chatham. when asked who
among living I1ngiisf1nen should write

the exception Of John Bunyar, who
wrote the immortal "Pilgrim's Prog

centuries except the Bible, Gods own

then Hall was the one man best
equipped for a reply.
Shelley about a year after his sec
ond marriage, left England, his native
iand, never again to return. He lived
most Of his time in Italy, and it was
upon that classic soil that his rich
fruitful, resplendent genius gave birth
to many OF his noblest works of the

world with their productions. HIS
health failed him not long after this
and with it went his fortune, and he

of the great Grecian Aeschylus and
false religion and dangerous views
abounded. His politics was also badly
tainted and vicious, but some of his
poetry even then was more or less in

views about life false theories, and
abSurdities as to government, poll
tics, and what concerned the welfare

There are passages Of real power and
Sublimity and OF wonderful imaglna-

diction is pure and very engaging, but
it is not of the attrac ctiveness of other
poems by other writer's Of far less
gifts. His wellknovn tragedy, The
CinCi," is of very impressive and orig
inal quality. It is full of horror and
responsiveness, but as one British critic
said OF it ''the style is astonishingly
intense and nervous" and with
strokes of true and profound pathos."
Shelley has left poems to perpetuate
his memory that are like "Helias',

"Adonais" and "Ode to the West

TO COMPENSATE HOFFMAN HEIRS
Bill introduced BY cIapp Is Passed BY
the Senate.

Red Wing.-The senate at Washing
ton has passed a bill introduced by
Senator Clapp for the relief of the
heirs of John Hoffman, who lived on
Prairie Island. The bill provides for
the payment out of the treasury of
the sum of $1,000 to the heirs of John
Hoffman in settlement for 40 acres of
land near the Hastings asylum, Hast
ingS.
The land in question was patented
in 1857 to Charles P. Adams and it
afterwards was repurchased by the
government with the intention of al
loting the lands to certain Indians. 1t
was so allotted to John Hoffman, who
was known as Indian John along the
river between Red Wing and Wabasha,
which was his hunting ground. Under
an act of congress, approved March
10, 1906, the land in question was con-
veyed to the state of Minnesota. The
land adjoins the grounds of the Hast
ings state asylum and it was greatly
needed by that institution. The bill
in question now before the house is
for the compensation of the heirs Of
Hoffman.
