sELLs-MASsEY CONTEST.

Bristol, July 31--It is announced
here that the subcommittee of the ma

take up and pass upon the question of
which is the regular nominee for con-
gress in the First Tennessee district,
Representative Sam r. Sells or former
Representative H. ID. Massey. Both Of
these men have been in the race ever
since the convention held in Greene
willie last February, and many had
come to believe that the two candidates
would be allowed to run it out without
any ruling on the part of the national
committee. The matter was on one
occasion before the subcommittee, but
was postponed indefinitely. Thus far
nothing looking to a compromise be-
tween the two men has been suggested.

RESULT OF THE PRIMARY
Nine Counties Are Missing-C Chair
man Morton Says Not the
Slightest Sign of Discord.

Nashville, Aug. 10.-'The meeting
of the democratic committee was one
OF The most harmonious and most en-
thusiastic | ever attended. There was
no friction, no opposition, no division
of opinions, and nothing transpired
that in any way approached discord." +"
So declared J. d. G. Morton, char
man of the state democratic committee,
this afternoon after the committee had
met here to canvass the returns of the
recent primary for governor.
The committee met at noon in open
session. The first matter taken up was
the vacancy in the tenth district caused
by the death of r. &. Williamson.
Stanley Trezevant, holding a proxy,
wanted action at once. He objected,
however, to the recommendations of
Joe Creath, which came from Shelby
county. He said the Creath faction
represented only minority of the
of the Shelby county democracy.
ExCongressman Rice A. Pierce Of
fered motion that the committee
defer action until after the state con-
vention. lie insisted that it was bet
ter to wait until after the convention
passes on the delegation from the
counties composing the tenth district,
and then let the legally elected dele
gates from that district choose the man
they wanted to fill the vacancy.
Pierce's motion prevailed with only
one dissenting vote.
A motion to adopt resolutions in re.
spect to Mr.. Williamson was offered
and adopted, and then Chairman Nor
ton paid feeling tribute to the de-
ceased. Resolutions of respect were
also adopted, signed by j. d. G. Nor
ton, j. l.. Foust Rob Roy, j. 4, Mitch
ell, Irwin McGrew and B. f. Murrel'.
Mr.. Morton, as chairman of the
primary board, next reported the can-
vass of the returns of the gubernatorial
primary. The report was adopted.
With the counties of Claiborne, James,
Johnson, Marion, Polk. Rutherford,
Sequatchie, Washington and Wilson
the vote totals SO, All. The
returns received show the following:

CRUSHING DEFEAT

BULL MOOSE PARTY WINS

Having Uphill Work to Get
Men to Fork Over Cash.

Washington, Aug. l2.-The Taft sup
porters have had another painful shock
1t was caused by the crushing defeat
the bull moose fellows gave the regu
lars in the Kansas primaries. Those
who keep posted on current politica
matters are informed as to the efforts
the administration folks have beer
making to keep the Roosevelt electors
off the republican ticket in the Sun.
flower state They even took the case
to the supreme court justices who could
be reached, and an order has been issu.
ed that will take the matter to the full
court when it convenes in Washington
early in October.
The actual loss of Kansas to the ad-
ministration forces would be so bad by
itself, but what the regulars fear is that
the sentiment expressed there is an in
dex of what may be generally expected
in most of the western states, inclGding
even Ohio, in which Candidate Taft
was born and reared and in which he
has his legal residence now.
Sor1e of the standpat republicans in
congress are trying TO belittle the action
of the Kansas voters, but the great
majority who have been conversed with
feel blue over the shakup out there.
Really it is a worse jolt than the recent
Iowa republican state convention
which passed resolution by an over
whelming majority TO the effect that
the Chicago convention which nomi-
mated Taft and Sherman this year was
fraudlent body and no republican
should feel bound to support the nomi-
nees of such gathering. The stand
pat crowd excused the Iowans by de-
claring they were hot, and predicted
that in few weeks things would cool
down. But as time rolls on things APP
pear to be getting worse for the "grand
old party" Leading republicans are
compelled to admit that the Kansas
primary results shows only too truly
that Roosevelt is going to poll tre-
mendous vote, and will draw so heavi-
ly upon the republican party's normal
strength in most of the states that
what they will have to look after chief
ly is to prevent him from running
ahead of Taft in the great three-corner-
ed political fight
One of the democratic members of
congress from Indian said today, "All |
my advices from Indiana are that ex-
Senator A. J. Beveridge, the bull moose
for governor of our state, is
liable TO poll no less than $4,000 votes. |
IL Is estimated that fully $4,000 repub-
licans in Indiana are so disgusted with |
the situation that they will either re-
main away from the polls or will in
large number vote outright for Wilson.
The idications are eX-Gov. Hadley will |
be nominated for governor by the pro-
hibltionisis and that he will accept. If
he does he will receive not less than
20, 600 votes. Roosevelt is certainly GO
