COL. CY H. LYLE MAY BE
IN CONGRESSIONAL RACE

Bristol, April 23.-Col. Cy FL. Lyle,
of Johnson City, is mentioned among
democrats of this section as a probable
candidate for congress in the First dis
trict this year. Two years ago he made
an unsuccessful race, though it served
to bring out the democratic vote. Lead
ers believe that it is a good thing to
have candidate, even if he is not elect
ed, because it keeps up county organi-
cations and has tendency TO prevent
the democrats from voting for republi-
cans for congress. 1t is not known
whether Col. Lyle will make the race.
The republican majority in the First
district is very large, but if the repub-
licans continue split good chance for
democratic success is left. The late
Senator Robret L. Taylor got his start
in politics when he was elected TO con-
gress in the First district, which was
then republican as now. He defeated

an, and has gone to her reward, after
long and faithful work on this earth.

MASSIE PEOPLE DID
NOT PARTICIPATE.

The report in Sundays Journal and
Tribune relative TO the county conven-
ton held at Jonesboro Saturday to Sc
lect delegates to Nashville only reports
what action was taken by a few leaders
of the Sells faction of this county.
Several days ago Hon. w. F. Carter,
who is a warm supporter of DIR. Mas
sey, and chairman of the county exec
utive committee, conferred with men
of both factions, and wanted no friction
nor division in this convention, and
asked that both factions make out lists
of delegates. Mr., Carter further stated
that this convention had nothing to do
with congressional matters and that
no>mention of either one of the candi-
dates for congress should be made.
This news was made known among
the many leaders of the Massey faction
and agreed to, and list of 100 or more,
instead of two or three as was reported,
leading supporters of Dr. Massey was
made out ready to be filed along with
whoever might be selected as the COM
mittee on delegation, to be reported
along with the list from the other fac
ton. 1t was also understood that Mr..
Carter, who was the chairman, and a
very fair man with both sides, should
also act as temporary chairman, but
instead of this very bitter Sells man
was selected as temporary chairman,
who selected only Sells men on what
committees were appointed, and who
then refused to consider our list of del
egates, Notwithstanding motion was
made to include the Massey list, which
motion was seconded by Hon. w. f.
Carter. There was only by actual
count sixty-two people present, in
which number there were seven demo-
Gratis who were merely onlookers in
the back of the house. There were
twenty-one Massey men in the house
and twenty-four Sells men. In the
Sells crowd were three postmasters,
one pension examiner and referee in
Massey's friends had
made no effort, because of the under
standing, to have any crowd out, but
could have had 500 present. The action
on the part of the few Sells men has
not only hurt Sells, but has placed the
ticket in jeopardy, and their action has
been publicly condemned by leading
republicans, even by some who were
on their own side.
A list of the Massey delegates will be
filed with the chairman and contested
before the convention in Nashville OF
May II. A MASSEY MAN.

MISS HUNTER CHARMS
A LARGE AUDIENCE.

A rare treat for Bristol music lovers
was the recital given by Miss Lillian
Rhea Hunter at the Y. M. G. A. audi
toriurl Monday evening, for the benefit
of the new First Baptist church.
This young artist is well known
among Bristol people, and her recital
only added many more admirers to her
already full list
The program rendered was one of the
most representative ever given by any
artist in Bristol, including, as it did,
operate airs, oratorio and songs, both
of the classic and modern schools.
Miss Hunters voice was remarkably
sweet and wonderful control was APP
parent throughout the entire program,
as well as evidence of thorough train
ing and much hard work. Her brilliant
program gave opportunity for display
of marvellous vocal technic of which
she shows an unusual abundance, con-
sidering she has studied so short time.
The ease with which she took her high
notes and the clearness of the cadenzas
and difficult ranges gave evidence of
masterful skill.
Miss Hunter seemed thoroughly at
home on the stage and her stage pres
ence was all that could be desired. The
first number of the program, "With
Verdure Clad,' was sung with style
and finish worthy of a more mature
musician, although her voice acquired
more fullness and warmth later on in
the program.
Particularly pleasing was the cycle
of flower songs, "a Love Garden,
charmingly sung, light, airy in nature
they were particularly suited to Miss
Hunters voice.
The French and German groups and
Italian number were admiringly exc
cuted and attested to the young singers
familiarity with foreign languages. The
Italian number was especially worthy
of mention. Miss Black played the
violin in her usual pleasing manner,
while Miss Hunters voice showed up
to fine advantage in the numbers.
The numbers in the last English
group were all sung with the greatest
purity and charm, and particularly
pleasing were 1.-THE Bowl of Roses, y
which was sung in response to repeated
encore, and the "Minuet" La Phyllis.
Miss Hunter looked beautiful in a
gown of chiffon over pink, with garn-
ishings of crystal passameuterie and
received bouquet of pink and white
roses. Bristol Herald-Courier.

SPLIT IS
BECOMING SERIOUS
Roosevelt Faction May Put OCT
a Candidate for Governor,
Led by W. ]. Oliver.

Nashville, April 23.-There is storm
brewing in the republican party in
Tennessee which promises to break
into veritable cyclone in the CONVEX
ton of May IA. The Roosevelt repub-
licans, led by w. J. Oliver, Knoxville,
are going to have Roosevelt delega-
ton to the Chicago convention, even if
they have to hold a separate convention
to get it, and they are so angry over
what they term the alliance between
the Hooper forces and federal office
holders in the interest ofTaft that open
threats are heard that a republican
candidate will be named against Hoop
err One of the most prominent Roose-
welt men in the state, who would not
allow his name to be used, said tonight
that the prediction could safely be
made that there would be two state
republican conventions, two sets of
delegates to Chicago, and two republic
can candidates for governor.
w. j. Oliver gave out lengthy state
ment tonight in which he said the re-
suit in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maine,
Oregon, Nebraska, Missouri, West Vir-
ginfa and other states where there has
been a free expression of the masses
clearly demonstrates that the republic
cans of the United States are for Roose-
welt, and that eight out of ten republi-
cans in Tennessee are for him also.

I've got fellow Kenny for first, that
is going to be just the right man in
the proper position. | know Kenny,
and played against him last year in
the Canadian league, and the way he
can step around that first sack is
caution. He's built like greyhound
and handles that nit hand just like
the other one, stabs bad throws the
same as good ones, and is kind of
peppery fellow the fans are on the side
of. Pm mighty glad we got hold of
Kenny. Now the battery so far as
the same last year--Lee, Kelly, Her
rell, Bremeroh, to do the twisting,
and Dave Taylor at the same old
stand behind the bat. l want to get
hold of another man that can catch, as
a kind of second catcher, and to use as
utility man in emergency, and out of
the bunch of recruits ! know we can
do it, Altogether, feel pretty good
over the outlook and when we get in
line for'practice, it won't take long to
pick out the 10 or IA we will keep

MAYOR DICKINSON'S
PROCLAMATION.
Freedom of ths City to MOBILES of
the Mystic Shrine Under
Police Surveillance.

When, in the course of human events,
it becomes known that the peace and
quietude of our city is about to be dis
sipated, and that by my consenting to
the holding of ceremonial session and
a street parade within our boundaries
on April rs, by that irresponsible ele-
ment of mankind known as The Mobiles
of the Mystic Shrine, it becomes me
as the chief magistrate of the city, out
of a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind, and to "tote fair " with my
constituents, to make known the rea-
sons prompting me to permit this in
vasion of our city, and to outline the
conditions under which permission
was granted.
Shriners are like school-boys; in fact,
they seem to be only over-grown school
boys, and they are prone, am told, to
rush in where angels fear to tread. The
local Shriners have so often come home
from sessions held in Knoxville, Chat
tanooga and Bristol, in badly damaged
condition, due to having been thrown
and stepped upon by the camels, or to
having been too fresh in their treat
ment of the initiating squad, that their
wives, mothers and sweethearts are
dead set against their going away from
home to Shrine meeting any more.
The Shriners are bound to break loose
and have meeting; the women are
bound they shall not get out of bounds.
l have compromised the matter by ex-
tending permission for the Shriners to
bring their menagerie and initiate
their candidates here on April 26, with
a street parade at that afternoon.
The conditions are these:
That all candidates, and all duly
qualified Shriners except such as are
over go years of age, shall not be per
mitted on the streets of Johnson City
one attendant or keeper for
each candidate or young Skinner; pro-
vided however, number of them may
be roped together and led about the
streets by keeper.
Shriners shall not enter the shops or
stores of the city, but any desiring tol
make purchase or ask information,
shall stop outside the door, ask for
what they want, pay for what they |
get and touch nothing that does not
belong to them.
All Shriners will observe the speed |
INIT regulations, the smoke ordi-
lances and will make no unnecessary |
noise at street crossings.
or our people, all elderly persons,
women and children will walk only
IN the right-hand side of the streets of
he city all Friday afternoon and eve
hing, leaving the remainder for the
Use of the Shriners.
Policemen will not bring any of
ending Shriners before the Recorder
or trial. All such are TO be locked
Up until just before the session, when
will try their cases myself, thus as
uring convection, guilty or not guilty.
Under these conditions take pleas
ire in extending to the Mobiles of the
cystic Shrine the freedam of our city,
nd may you have such a royal good
ime here that johnson City will here
fter be one of the points for your an
ual pilgrimages. l.
w. A. DICKINSON, Mayor.
