AS ANTI-SELLS
CANDIDATE
LOOKS LIKE CONVENTION
VIII Be Ordered By the Republican
Executive Committee on the
Fourth of November.

Maj. Paul f. Divine, of johnson City,
and A. l.. Shipley, Of Jonesboro, were
in Bristol Saturday on political mat
tiers. Mr. Shipley is chairman of the
republican congr ssslonal committee,
and has called meeting TO be held at
Bulls Gap, Saturday, November 4, to
decide on the time and manner of NOM
mating a candidate for congress, says
the Herald-Courier.
| When seen by Herald Courier re.
porter Maj Divine stated that the anti
Sells leaders had not yet decided upon
which of their number will make the
race. In discussing Possibilities he
modestly admitted that he might make
the race himself. He stated also that
Gen. J. b. Cox, Judge Henderson, J.
w. Howard and Others were being
considered for the choice of the anti
Sells faction.
While here Major Divine and Mr..
Shipley held conference with L. A.
Warren and other local politicians. No
statement would be given out as to the
purpose of the meeting, further than
statement from Major Divine that ev-
erything possible was being done and
would be done to defeat Congressman
Sells.
The anti Sells republicans are favor
ing convention. Maj. Divine predict
ed that convention would be ordered
by the committee and that the nomi-
nation would be made in this manner.
A primary was held last year, in which
Congressman Sells overwhelmingly de-
feated ]. r. Penland, the candidate of
what is now now the anti-Sells faction.
Sells also elected Dr. Y. d. Massey, of
Sewer county, whom he put on his
ticket for the short term of three
months, being the unexpired term of
the late Congressman Brownlow.
Major Divine is well known reput-
lican politician and was formerly treas
urer of the Johnson City Soldiers Home.
He is a native of Claiborne county and
has many friends who would like to see
him enter the congressional contest.
The Sells leaders in Bristol say they
do not take the present movement
against him seriously and that the
leaders of the opposition know they
have no chance whatever of defeating
the young congressman.
A prominent Bristol lawyer who has
lately been in good part Of the district
stated Saturday that while there is
considerable talk of opposition to Sells,
that there is not man in the district
who can defeat him for second term
and that the opposition won't even be
able to make the race interesting for
him. He said that he thought there
was no likelihood of the democrats
a nomination for congress and
if they did it would be foolish, that
Sells would be reelected just the same.

81 IA HOURS SEATTLE
TO NEW YORK CITY.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-Stories of marvel
GUS flights in the air in which birdmer
beat the fast mail are daily flashed
over the wire. But there will have tC
be a tremendous evolution in sky
flights before the aeroplane will endan
ger the maveieus cOast-to coast record
just made by rail.
Eighty-two and quarter hours from
Seattle TO New York city, 3,l78 miles,
is the new worlds mark just establish.
ed by train laden with two million
dollars worth of silk via the Great
Northern, the Burlington and the New
York Central system.
This means that the train travelled at
an average speed, counting stops, in
Guiding delay of more than two hours
in switching at Chicago, of more than
381s miles per hour all the way across
the continent. When one reflects that
two great mountain ranges were cross
ed and that frequent changes of engine
and train crew were made necessary,
the time made is nothing short of mar
velous.
The special left Seattle on Friday,
October 13, at 4. 45 am. The run to ST.
Paul clipped two hours off the best
previous record. The flyer reached st.
Paul at a. IN. Sunday. Twenty min
utes later it was speeding to Chicago
over the tracks of the Burlington, ar
irving there at 2.05 p. M, having ira
versed the intervening 431 miles in 8
hours and As minutes.
Leaving Chicago at 4.30 p. M, SUM-
day, via the Lake Shore and Michigan
the special arrived at the de-
livery station in New York city at 6 D.
M. Monday.
Deducting three hours for the differ
ence in time between New York city
and Seattle, the actual running time of
the train was 82A hours. The best
previous record by rail between the At
lantic and Pacific coasts was 81 hours
and forty minutes. The new record of
B2A hours is eight hours and 25 min-
utes faster than the fastest regular pas
sengef time that it is possible to make
1t this time between New York and
San Francisco.
