THE SPEED RECORD
OF MAURy COLTS
AROUND THE CIRCUIT
SOME REMARKABLE PERI ORM-
ANcEs OF THE COLTS BRED
IN THIS SECTION.
WOODROW WILSON & ROY WILKES
Smith Thomas Making Good in the
Western Circuit and New Records
Being Made Everywhere With the
Tennessee Horse in the Lead.

In summarizing the races through
out the country during the past ten
days there is much to be found to
swell Maury county breeders with
pride. There is, however, no politi-
cal significance in the fact that
Woodrow Wilson was bad fourth IN
the 2:.30 pace at Petersburg, Ind, or
that Roy Wilkes was an easy winner
in the free for all at West Point, Ne
braska
Among the horses with Maury
county blood that have shown the
way to the wire in the time mention
ed was Eraden Direct, who set a new
record for the four year old PAGERS,
lowering the 2:04 mark set eighteen
years ago by Online, to 2:03$+ at
Cleveland, Ohio. Braden Direct is a
son of Baron Direct, out of Kate Bra
den, daughter of Brown Hal by
Tom Hal 1884.
p No less remarkable was the per-
formance of Jones Gentry, by JeEn r.
Gentry on the same track, and whose
feats we're commented on Saturday;
And Evelyn W., whose racing lee
ord has furnished some of the sea-
sons speed ring surprises, and never
to her discredit, helped to make the
1912 meeting at the North Randall
track Maury county affair by win
ming the 1920 sweepstake free for
all after having been fourth in the
first and second heats, thus placing
additional laurels to The Spy as a
speed getter.
Another colt of John r. Gentry IS
Halgen 2:12A who was in the lead
in the 2:13 pace at Greensburg, Ind,
while his brother, Dillon Gentry, cop

This latter speedy son Of John r.
Gentry was at one time the property
Of John Trotwood Moore.

Nomination.

The Maury county representation
at the Roosevelt convention, whicl
took the name of the Progressive Par
ty, has returned. S. e. Calender and
VIM. Barker were the representatives
from Columbia, and they are each en-,
thusiastic for their candidates and
the platform proclamations. Mr.. Cal
lender is of the opinion that there is
sgoing to be great surprise in Nc
vember at the large vote that Roose
welt and Johnson will poll, especially
in the central states.
| VIM. Barker, as is known has been
the chairman of the county republl
can committee, and when asked what
he intended to do about his official
position in that organization, he
said:
Il can't do anything. BY my affili.
ations with the progressives / have
surrendered whatever authority
had, and am neither a member OF
the party nor the committee. II the
Maury county republican committee
is ever called together again some
one else will have to call it. can't
do it, y
He was asked his opinion and de.
sires regarding legislative ticket in
the county, and said that individually
he was highly in favor of the nomi-
nations being made, but this would be
left to the judgment of the commit
tee, call for which would be made
at an early datea He would make no
suggestions as to who would make
good timber for the race, but prefer.
rcd to wait further developments.
Mr.. Barker is also very much in
favor of a nomination for congress in
this district and stated that a con.
vention would be called for that pur-
pose. He favored the nomination Of
DR.. Sheddan, but stated that he un.
derstood that Crowell, of Giles coun-
ty, was also a candidate.
A meeting of the state committee
is to be called at an early date for
the purpose of planning state cam
paign, and each county will be taken
UP in order, and a different plan may
be adopted in the several counties.
In speaking of the candidates for
governor Barker was asked IL he
didn't regard the failure of Oliver and
Lindsey, of East Tennessee, to partic-
ipate in their convention and espouse
the cause of Poston as having some
significance on how the vote of that
portion of the state would go in No
vember. In reply he stated that
these men had no influence now, and
whatever they may have had in the
past was on account of the power of
money, and that he didn't think that
Mr. Oliver and Mr.. Lindsey could in.
fluence any republicans to vote for
Hooper who would vote for Roose-
