Getaway day.

49,.
Getaway day for the members of
the late general assembly Of 1912.
brought its usual sad features. The
capital practically is deserted, tnere
being only remnant of the legisla-
tors left. Each trail carried out OF
the city the members in every direc-
ton.
The legislature will be memorable,
however, in being one of the most
harmonious and energetic that Ken
lucky has had IN rs years. Every
member showed q determination to
work from the beginning, and as 3
result numerous platform pledges
were carried out, and those not car
ried out at this session will be car
ried out at the session of 1914.
The state will be redistrieted in
Legislative, senatorial and judicial
districts during the next session
There will be a public utilities bill
passed, and it is more than likely
that the several constitutional provi'
sions, such as laws to prohibit the
giving of railroad passes to district,
city, county and state officials, and
providing for the corrupt practices
act. will get through.
A brief summary of the work OF
the legislature will show that there
were a large number of important
bills passed The one regarded the
most important is the Eaton-Thomp-
son direct primary bill, and second
in Importance the act providing for
school suffrage to women. The leg
islature also removed the liquor ques-
ton from politics by passing the
county unit bill, but. as the state now
is near dry, there are but few couh-
ties in the state that it will aeffct.
Practically all the leaders left the
city. General Percy Haley departed
for the East. 1t appears, from the
statements of majority of the mem
bers Of the rules committee to re-
port the bill providing for the pur-
chase by railroads of competing or
parallel lines less than 100 miles in
length. Justus Goebel of Covington
said over the telephone Il at he was
before the rules committee on an
other bill at the time General Haley
appeared before the committee and
that General Haley made no demands
on the rules committee.

CHAIRMAN MORTON
NAMES SECRETARIES
OF THE COMMITTEE
HENRY MORROW, AND E. W.
THOMAS CHOSEN TO ACT IN
THAT CAPACITY.
One FROM EACH FACTION
Run. ed That In Addition to Those
Already Announced Farabaush, Nc
Mi'ln and Heiskell May Enter Race
for Governor Within Few Days.

| NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 31.--Al
though the official announcement has
not oeen made by Chairman Morton,
who is out of the city, it is known
that Henry Morrow, of Nashville,
and Ed W. Thomas, of Waverly nave
beer appointed secretaries of the
state democratic executive committee
and will accept the honor. The state
committee authorized Mr.. Morton to
mare as many secretaries as he saw
fiji aud his action will meet with gen.
eral approval, it is believed.
Mr.. Morrow has been aligned with
the regular" faction of the party,
while Mr. Thomas has been known as
starnch independent" They are
both, however, strong advocates of
party harmony, and served as secre-
taries of the harmony committee,
which makes their appointment to the
new committee especially appropri-
ate. Mr.. Morrow is former prison
commissioner and also former chair
man Of the state committee. Mr..
Thomas has served as clerk of the
senate and has been prominently
identified with the democratic party
| for number OF years.
Now that the secretaries have been
named permanent headquarters will
be opened in rooms 14-15 at the Max
we'll House, from which place the pri-
mary will be conducted. 1t is not
probable that the primary board will
meet for some weeks, as chairman
Morton is authorized to receive the
fees Of the various entries, and until
all the candidates have qualified the
county primary boards will not be
named. This will permit all the can
didates to have voice in the selec-
ton of election officers.
Although there have been no an
Inducements since the day of the
state committee meeting, rumors are
rite to the effect that the entries are
by no means closed. 1t is repeatedly
stated in political circles that Mayor
s. 6. Heiskcll, of Knoxville, and
Judge W. W. Farabaugh, of Paris,
are likely to enter the gubernatorial
contest. 1t is also rumored that ex-
Gov. Benton McMillin may also seek
the gubernatorial nomination, al
though his friends are generally urg-
ing him t. run for the senate. While
the date of the senatorial primary is
some months off, it is expected that
one or more candidates for the sena-
tol ship will announce in the near. fu- |
ture At present ex-Gov. Patterson
has the field to himself.

TWO POPULAR OFFICIALS ASK
FOR A SECOND TERM IN THE
COURT HOUSE.
have MADE SPLENDID RECORDS
That Neither Will Have Opposition
for the Merited Endorsement ls
Now An Absolute certalnty-Both
Serving the First Term.

Ciaui Goodwin for sheriff and w.
Spence McFall for trustee this morn
ing announced that they would be
candidates for reelection at the COM
ing August election.
This announcement will cause no
surprise as it has been all of the time
understood that both would again be
candidates for the Office which they
have filed with such conspicuous
ability for the past two years, and
that they will be reelected without
even the formality of opposition now
seems absolutely assured. Efforts
have been made in some quarters to
bring out candidates against them,
but sc strong are both Messrs God
win and McFall in the public favor
that these efforts were wholly un-
awaiting.
Both Messrs. Goodwin and McFall
are serving their first term in office.
They were both elected two years
ago over strong and popular oppon-
ents. They received the democratic
nomination in primary and were
elected in August following without
any semblance of a contest.
Maury county has not had more
popular officials than Messrs. Goodwin
anu McFall. They have attended
carefully to the duties of their re-
spective Offices; have proven their
capacity fer the administration of
public affairs and have discharged
their POSITIONS with integrity and abil-
ity.
In making their announcements
both officials expressed their high APP
probation of the honors which the
people had conferred upon them in
the past and the hope that they would
receive the endorsement of a second
terra which they felt that their rec
ords in office merited.

CHAIRMAN PHILsRooK
OF State Committee Meets County
Candidates at Augusta House.

The Kennehec County Republican
committee and the candidates on the
county ticket met. Saturday afternoon,
at the Augusta House, for a confer
ence TO discuss plans for the coming
campaign. With the exception of four
legislative candidates all having
place upon the county ticket, were
present.
All of the members of the county
committee were present except John
T.. Nelson of Watervlle, Frank Besse
of Clinton and +. S. Russell of Car
diner. Much enthusiasm was shown
over the reported outlook of the
county condition. The guest of honor
at the meeting was Hon Warren c.
Philbrook of Waterville. chairman of
the Republican State committee. who
outlined to the kennebec county men
the situation in the State and his
plans in connection with the county
work
