NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jen. 2.-Mau-
ry countians have been conspicuous
among the politicians hereabouts for
the past two or three days. There
are perhaps more candidates here
from Maury county than there have
been from all sections Of the State in
years gone by. And the Maury coun-
ty candidates are not all. There are
candidates here galore from all sec
tons of Tennessee. In fact a stroll
through the lobby of the Maxwell
House, which is the politicians para
disc and there they most do congre-
gate, would soon give one the impress
sion that there are more candidates
than there were members Of the gen.
eral assembly. There are women after
the clerkships, pretty ones too. In
fact 1t is common remark that there
are better looking lot of women, GER
tainly there are more of them, max
ing the contests this year than ever
before.
\ There are candidates for clerk of
q House and clerk of the Senate, for
the assistant clerkships, for the Jour-
nal clerks, for sergeant at arms for
doorkeeper and for janitor and other
places, Maury county is represented
by four young ladies, not all Of whom

Ian is the leading candidate for en-
crossing clerk Of the Senate; Miss

Miss Minnie Smith, OF Mt. Pleasant, is
an applicant for assistant engrossing

Cross Bridges Is a candidate before
the Patterson caucus for engrossing
clerk OF the Senate. And right here
Senator T. Bledsoe Brown, the Pat
