FROM THE RACE
FOR GOVERNOR
ILL HEALTH IS THE REASON
Chattanooga Has Another Candi-
date to Offer In the Person
of Hon. T. R. Preston.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 16.-Ow-
ing to the fact that Senator James b.
Frazier has been stricken of appendici-
tis, and will be unable to enter vigor-
ously into the campaign for governor,
even though his recovery shonld be
more speedy than now anticipated, it
has been decided to withdraw his name
as a candidate for the nominatin in the
August primary.
Friends of the senator, after holding
repeated conference with his physicians
and members of his family, tonight de-
cided that the withdraw of his name
was the only thing that could be done
in the circumstances. Consequently
they issue the following announcement
as friends, associates and neighbors of
the senator.
''To the Pebble of Tennessee:
"Prior to the democratic convention
held in Nashville in May last, Senator
James B. Frazier had been by personal
anu bClCS
urged by democrats from every section
of the state of Tennessee to re-enter
public life. Many of these thought he
would enter the race fer senator, while
Others thought ne would take and up
hold the standard of democracy for
governor.
"At this convention the idea seemed
to have crystalized in to a fact that, on
account of his personal life and char
acter, his superb mental equipment,
and his matchIess powers ubon the
stump, he was above all others in Ten
nessee, the best qualified and the most
likely to alIay the warning factions
within the party, quiet the riot of pas
sion, hate and discord which permeat-
ed the rank and file of his members,
and to WELD them into compact, har-
monious and militant body, ready,
willing and able to meet our enemy,
headed by the present governor, at
any and all points and to defeat them
uo WIG CiSCbAOll III 4NONSLlpCl ncA1
After the convention hundreds and
thousands of letters and kilograms
came to Senator Frazier, attestIng this
sentiment and urging him to assume
this task.
Having been thus led to feel and
believe that his candidacy would tend
to allay factional strife, to unity the
party, and TO enable it to redeem the
state from republican domination and
rule, Senator Frazier, although having
been twice elected to the office of gov
ernor, and although having no personal
desire to again assume its responsibili-
ties and harassing exactions, and with
the unselfish and patriotic purpose
alone TO aid his party and state, an
nounced tnat he would ask the people
of the state for the nomination for gov
ernor in the August primary and that
If this nomination were given him, he
would undertake the fight for the re-
demption of the party and the state.
"However, before the activities of
this preliminary struggle began, and

MADE A VERY
GOOD EXECUTIVE
Statement BY HOOPER
Says McMillin is Most Formidable
Opponent-Other G. o. P.
Leaders Praise Him.

Republican leaders who were heard
to express themselves yesterday were a
unit in showing the greatest of admira-
tion for Benton McMillin, and while
talking to reporter were outspoken in
their praise OF him, says the Nashville
Democrat.
"Hon. Benton McMillin has been
undoubtedly the best governor the
state has known since the war," said
the Hon. John w. Overall, United
States marshal. Other republican
leaders declared yesterday that ex-Gov.
McMillin's announcement for the gov
ernorship came as a "surprise and a
shock to them," and that they are
"now afraid of the results"
Commenting upon his past career,
several of the most prominent republic
can federal officials stated that his ad-
vocacy of prison reform and plan for
the payment of the state debt were
among the greatest movements the
state has known in many years.
ellis administration as governor of
Tennessee was most pleasing to both
the democrats and republicans of the
state and he launched the now popular
movement of good roads and prison re-
form, the claims of other leaders to the
contrary Notwithstanding" said a
prominent republican.
The uniform school text ruling, as
advocated by ex-Gov. McMillin, and
the law for the protection of girls under
the age of eighteen years were also ap-
proved by the republican leaders of the
state yesterday.
awe have never entertained hopes
of electing the next United States SEN
ator, and were IN hopes that McMilin
would announce for the senate, but his
announcement for the governship has
upset plans" said federal official
yesterday.

the republican party" said another re-
publican official yesterday. "There is
no matter that can be brought against
him in the race and he is generally
known amongst both the democrats
and republicans as faithful represen-
tative of the state, " said still another
prominent republican.
Several months ago when it was ru-
mored that ex- Gov. McMlllin would be
q candidate for the governorship, Gov.
Hooper was asked what he thought of
his candidacy. He replied: Frhe best
he has is honesty
He fights dirty campain, but once in
office he is faithful. He fought me
tooth and tcenail several years ago,
but honored him for his honesty"
said the governor. "He is most for
opponent.
Gov. McMillin is feared by the re-
publican leaders more than any other
who could be named, accord

Pr0lODging Life.

While no way has yet been found to make
life perpetual, it is fact that life can be
prolonged. Many people die before their
time because the organs become cogged and
can not do their work. To keep their body
open, active and free from impurities there
must be no constipation, dyspepsia, Aatu-
lency, liver troubles, etc. If old or young
people suffer from these complaints they can
find ready cure with DR.. Cadwell's Syrup
Pepsin.

Deafness Can Not Be Cured

by local applications as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the car. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustaehian tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have rumbling tound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed. deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's norman
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars free. 2. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, o
