Washington, Jan. s:-The body
of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans
lies in Arlington cemetery. 1t was
borne there on a caisson with full
military honors after services in

funeral was the most impressive

McKinley's. Throngs uncovered as
the procession passed through the

one man wore the Massey ribbon.
From the First there was big Massey
crowd, but Rev. Marion Lee, who
came down, asserted that many of these
were known Democrats. From Ran
kin, over 100 came up, two thirds of
whom were Sells people. This crowd
arrivedtoo late for the convention, but
not too late for the dinner. A fair
crowd was present from the section
North of the river, but nothing in
comparison to what would have come
if the weather had been different.
The red ribbon of the Masseyites ap-
peared to be everywhere, the Sells peo-
pie not only running out of ribbons,
but what they did put out being in
conspicuous. Before the crow d assem-
bled at the court house, it was freely
commented that the Massey people
outnumbered the Sells people many
times. The court house would not be-
gin to hold the crowd, and although
the snow was over an inch in depth
and it was still showing, the leaders
endeavored to gather their men in
front of the building. There was much
pushing and scrambling, and the negro
boys band came upon the scene and
many of the Masseyites rallied about
it. As the Sells men gathered it be-
came evident hat the Masseyitcs were
not so much in majority as had been
anticipated, and o. l.. Hicks, secretary
of the Sells committee went to Sheriff
Boyer and asked for count. He re-
ceived no satisfaction and the first
thing he knew ID. {. Waters was read
ing the committee on delegation. The
Sells people broke up the reading with
shouts and no one standing more than
a foot or two away from the steps
knew what was going on. The Massey
/ leaders vacated their position on the
steps and followed to the East corner
of The lot where their band was play
ing. The Sells leaders waved large
American flag and their men gathered
in the West side of the lot. Both hur-
riedly put thorough their slate, each
passing resolutions endorsing President

GOVERNOR B. W. HOOPER
MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT
In Lengthy Communication He Sets Forth Reasons Why
He Should Be ReNomnated and Reelected By the Peope
of Tennessee, and He Arraigns the Independents and
Republicans Who Betrayed Their Friends in the Last
Session of the Tennessee Legislature.


the few republicans and independents
who joined hands with the whiskey
machine democrats to repeal the elec-
ton law, and substitute tor 1t a law
that would have destroyed all hope of
an honest election in Tennessee.
"Certan departments of the state
government have manifested a willing
ness even to wreck the credit of the
state, if plausible way could be
found to attribute the disaster to me.
Through all these unfavorable cir
cumstanceS, | have striven to be
broader than party or faction, and to
administer my office in the interest of
all the people. TO what extent have
succeeded in this, and 10y whom and
what | have been handicapped and
hampered, it is for the public to
judge
There is no note of surrender to the
whiskey interests in his address, for
after reviewing the temperance situa-
ton, he continues
"The question arises, can we elect q
Legislature? Beyond question. Five
hundred votes distributed among the
defeated candidates for the state SEN
ate would have given the friends of
temperance and honest elections con-
troll of the senate of 1911, so narrow
were the majorilies oil the liquor can
didatcs.
"Let the people bestir themselves and
elect men TO the legislature who will
not violate written agreements and
campaign pledges, men who will not
seek legislative inspiration at the
Southern Turf, and other combine
ton saloons and gambling dens, at the
dark hour of midnight, men who will
not betray their onSli,uents for lit
tie office nen of character and con-
viction."
Next, Governor Hooper discussed
party faclionalism, and after saying
there is no reason why republicans
should be known as Brownlow or
Evans men, continued
"If republicans differ as to state
issues, let them say so, and let their
divisions be along lines of principle.
Personally, | have refused to be classi-
fed as Brownlow or Evans-Sanders

tained this attitude under difficulties

AS a result of the mob conventions
held in the twelve counties of the First
congressional district, Saturday, con-
testing delegations were sent to the
Greeneville convention, from every
county but two. In Greene and Wash
ington counties, where Congressman
Sells had large majority of the crowd,
he gave to DR.. Massey, minority men,
bership in the delegations, the doctor
getting two out of ten in Greene and
four out of eleven in Washington.
The reports would indicate that Con-
gresham Sells, carried beyond doubt
nine out of the twelve counties. In
Sullivan, Johnson, Carter, Hawkins,
Hancock, Granger, Washinton, Uni
col aud Greene the crowd was all one
way. In Claiborne county it was
pretty well divided, in Sewer Massey
had slight majority and in Cooke
county, both sides claimed the crowd.
In the uncontested delegations the
vote will stand Sells Is; Massey 6.
These twenty-ore delegates according
to all rules of fairness should be entit-
led to take their seats in the Greene
vile convention next Saturday and
pass on the merits of the claims of the
contestinG delegations, but it is assert
ed that the congressional committe
headed by Shipley will usurp the pow
ers of the convention proper and will
prepare the roll of delegates, thus TAX
ing from the uncontested delegations
all power.
If Shipley and his co-conspiratOrs
attempt this high handed action il
stands as matter of reason that there
will be two conventions and it will be
matter for the voters or the district
to determine, which will be the regular
candidate, Sells or Massey, and in
view of the fact that of the uncontest-
ed delegates, Sells has majority, his
regularity will be assured, regardless
of what action is taken by the Shlpley
committee.
COOKE COUNTY
Here in Cooke county, the day was
an eventful one. Fully 1900 men were
in town, the largest number which had
ever gathered here for political pur-
posee. Over 500 men were brought
down on the Tennessee 4 North Car
olina special, and OF this number DR..
j. Walter McMahan claimed that not
over 100 were for Sells.
The Tennessee & North Carolina
railroad taps four big Republican dis
tricts. Upper and Lower Cosby, Grassy
Fork and Edwina. In the Republi-
can primary two years ago when every
effort was made to get out big vote,
the vote for Sheriff showed that Upper
Cosby voted 237; Lower Cosby, 9S;
Grassy Fork 2l2 and Edwina 104.
Presuming that every voter in these
four districts was present, 1t would
show that there were 200 men and boys
on the train Who could not vote,
and the Sells people claim that there
were five or six hundred who could
could not vote. Or. McMahan assert
ed that there were but two North Car

likely thai the question for this and
other states will have to be thrashed
out at Chicago. The situation Is n
of great Importance because OF the
many contests to come before the
committee. More than 200 dele
gates are involved in the numerous
state contests, and whether Taft or
Roosevelt men are seated depends
upon the decision of the National
Committee in the first instance. The
final decision Is for the convention
itself, but this vote will be taken
according to the temporary roll as
made up by committee, so it will be
seen that the decision as to who
constitutes the committee member
ship Is an important one.
