GENERAL ASSEMBLIES OF
Many STATES MEET
soLoNs OF TENNESSEE WILL
NAME A SENATOR At
THIS SESSION.
FIGHT MADE ON NEAR BEER
More Stringent Prohibition LegisIa-
tIOn, Is the Program in state
Of North Carolina.

| Nashville, Tenn.-The general as
sembly of Tennessee began its fifty
seventh biennial session, which, under
the Constitution, will last for seventy
five days.
The session promises to be a mo-
| meqtous one, inasniuch as United
States senator will be elected, provis-
ion made for refunding the state debt
(some ten millions of dolars), redis-
tricting the state for assemblymen UNI
der the new census, and repeating,
modifying or strengthening the cleo
tion laws,
The regular Democrats control the
senate, with nineteen out Of thirty
three members, while the house will
probably be in control Of the fusion
forces, composed of about equal num-
bers Of Independent Democrats and
Republicans.
The United States senatorship is
very much in doubt. Neither ex-Gov-
ernor McMillin nor Senator ]. b. Fra
zier have yet shown that they could
secure a majority. Gen. Luke e.
Wright, ex-secretary Of war, has NOT
yet said whether ne would or would
not enter the race.
Charlotte, NJ C.-The only matters
OF Importance slated for the biennial
session of the North Carolina general
assembly, which convened at Raleigh,
are the propositions to amend the
state antitrust law and to render
more stringent IL possible, the proli-
bition laws, violations of which have
become so fragrant as to demand legis-
lative action.
Democrats control both branches by
large majorities
Columbus, Ohio.-Chief interest in
the session Of the seventy-ninth Ohio
general assembly rests in the election
of United States senator to succeed
Charles Dick, who was elected upon
the death of Senator Marcus A. Han
ma. The new senator will be Demo-
crat, there being 10 Democrats and 10,
Republicans in the senate, and 65
Democrats and 40 Republicans and
one Independent Democrat
st. Paul, Minn.--lndications are that
the Minnesota legislature will re-elect
Moses Clapp to the United States sen
ate.
Wheeling, w, Va.-The contest
among Democrats for the seat now
held in the United States senate by
Nathan b. Scott (Rep.) Of Wheeling,
is now considered as fve-cornered.
The contest apears chiefly to be be-
tween Clarence w. Watson, Fair
mont coal operator, and John T. Nc
Graw Of Grafton. for many years the
Democratic national committeeman.
