GOVERNOR MAY APPOINT.
Senator Taylor's Immediate Success
sor Likely to Be Republican.

The death of Senator Taylor probably
means the appointment of a republican to
succeed him temporarily. Gov. Ben w.
Hooper of Tennessee is republican,
and the legislature of the state is demo-
cratic. Unless the governor desires to
call an extra session of the legislature to
elect senator he will make an appoint
ment, and the appOintee will serve until
the legislature meets regularly. It's next
session is scheduled for January 1913.
Luke f. Wright, who was Secretary of
War in President ROosevelt's cabinet,
and Jacob NJ. Dickinson, VINO was Secre-
tary of War in President Tafts cabinet,
are mentioned as possible successors of
Senator Taylor. Both are known to have
the ambition to come to the Senate.
Those who are familiar with the compli-
cations of politics in Tennessee say that
the contest for the election of a successor
to Senator Taylor may be long drawn out.
Although the Legislature is democratic.
the party is split and may not unite on
one candidate. If there is prolonged
contest, it is proba BILE that the successor
whom Gov Hooper appoints will serve
out practically all of the uneXpired term
Of Senator Taylor or until March 3, 1913.

Always Sure of Audience.

Senator Taylor was noted for his kindly
humor. and when he was scheduled to
speak. whether in the Senate chamber
or at banquet he was sure of an
interested audience. His most important
speech in the>Senate was also his maiQen
one in that body, delivered June ~,
1913, on the tariff bill then pending. He
convulsed his hearers with his references
to the tariff, and at the same time sought
to convince by solid argument
His last speech in the Senate was made
July IS 1911, on Confederate monument
bill. He has taken no active part in the
