 This is what we desire to ask now through your paper-that the women. who as we all know are the purchasing agents of the country-that they should realize in very personal way that the burden of the girl behind the counter and the delivery boys-who the merchants tell us are the worst overworked people at the holiday time--is their burden.

G. o. P. Leaders Roasting

Aiieduy prominent E. o. D. leaders are boasting of what that party expects to win in Tennessee two years from now, after they have continued Governor Hooper ill power. captured all of the state patronage and are playing checkers to at least have a short term Senator, if indeed they do not tie up the ;;itua- tion so that Hon. Newell Sanders will hold his job by failure of the incoming legislature to elect his successor.
 But the final advantage to be gained from the cultivation of the negro vote in Tennessee defers to elections that are in the future. The danger right at hand is a probability of hopeless division of democrats in the present crisis. Waivlng aside the liquor question and some diff ference of opinion on the election laws, the independent democrats and the reg ulars agree on principles of government
 Yet these two wings of the democratic party that Is approaching supreme con- trol of national affairs are so bitter in their attitude towards one another that the true condition cannot but incite .he alarm of the national party, with the United States Senatorship involved ;lnd the democrats uncertain of advantage in the Senate unless Tennessee elects a democrat in place of MT. Sanders.
 While the independent democrats are boldly proclaiming that they have Taft republicans as their allies they are charg- ing that the regulars are treacherously trying to win over the bull moose re- publicans so that they can control at least the house on joint ballot thus in- surfing the election of a democrat who is not tainted with fusion.
 As the situation now stands there are independents who will go with republi- cans before they will vote for certain democratic candidates for the Senate and on the other hand there are regular dem- ocrats who will not hesitate to vote for a republican before they will lend their support to independent candidates for Bob Taylor's place, since these independents worked for the defeat of McMillin. the democratic candidate for governor, and helped to defeat democratic, candidates for the legislature.

 The Equal Suffrage association, there- fore, appeals to all to do your shopping early in the month. early in the day, and above all, do not let bundles be sent which you can possibly take with you. Remember. we have no adequate child la bor law and some of the delivery boys are children of tender years.
 With the merchants doing their part so well and with the women doing their part this should be for the most q happy Christmas. Help us do this.

Nashville, Tenn, December 7.-(special) While the eyes of the nation are turned towards Tennessee and there is grave pn- certainty among those without the state as to what will be done by the general assembly that meets in January, there Is equally as much doubt and disrest among the people within the borders of the state as to what will be the outcome of the fearfully mixed conditions in this usually strong democratic commonwealth

| solution as 1t was months ago. True, there was democratic primary ct the time of the November election, lnd ex- Governor Patterson was given the Sena- torial nomination without opposition, still there are some democrats elected to the legislature who maintain that the vote was so light that 1t was not binding on the party and the nomination was all for naught. Then again there are some dem- ocrats elected to the legislature that de- clared themselves against Governor Pat terson in advance of their election.
 With these fatal objections in the way 1t is certain that Governor Patterson can not win the coveted prize with the avail able democratic support alone. The inem- bers who will take the primary nomina- ton as binding are not strong enough numerically to elect him even with the assistance of the bull moose members elect, who are being regarded more and more each day as the possible allies in the legislature of the regular wing of the democratic party.
 Governor Patterson takes the ground that he won the nomination and refuses to withdraw, but as the knowing ones have figured him out Of the contest alto- gether, a fresh contestant is being groomed daily for the Senatorial toga. Political ingenuity is playing a stake game over this tangled affair and the Tennessee capital city that has been eae scene of many political contests and the ground of great political tragedies is in the throes of political evolution, 8 to speak.
 The situation is fast forming a dramatic caste and the feeling is so intense that 1t would not take much to change entirely the political aspect of Tennessee. The greatest danger comes from the possibil- ity of republicanizing it for good.

Bargains in Federal Patronage

From another aspect the Tennessee case in view challenges the attention of the national party The independent
 leaders boldly proclaim that since Gov ernor Wilson was their first choice for
 the Presidency that he will ignore the
 regulars in the distribution of his pat ronage. All over the state there are re- ported bargains and trades on federal
 patronage to the advantage of the inde- pendents.
 The democratic state organization would be almost helpless in the face of
 this boasted advantage did they not feel free to emphasize the point that Presi- dent-elect Wilson could not afford to ig-
 nore the state Organization without get
 ting at cross purpose with the national party as represented in Congress. It is thus that the question of federal patronage is being used as a football in
 the factional fight for advantage in the organization and control of the incoming general assembly.
 All the while Taft republicans are hop ing that the democrats will do nothing and that Senator Sanders will nold on
 by the failure of the democrats to settle their differences.
