THIRTEEN OF
EACH WING
WILL SELECT 1TH Man
Announcements Are Expected
Following Unificstion of the
Tennesse Democracy.

Nashville, April 13.-It is stated to-
night on reliable authority that the
Vertrees primary headquarters will be
closed and no further effort made for
the May % primary. This is taken to
mean that the amalgamated committee
plan started by the editors, and indors-
ed by the mass meeting following it,
will be acquiesced in by both wings of
the party.
Reports from over the state and the
ascertained sentiment of democrats at
the capital city prove beyond doubt
that democratic harmony in Tennessee
is an accomplished fact. The action Of
the Virtrees state committee on Friday
in resembling the May primary, to be
followed by the resembling of the con-
vention by the Barton committee,
when it meets here next Wednesday,
has solidified the party from Garter to
Shelby.
Already il is confidently predicted
that every candidate who had qualified
in the May primary will now submit
his claims to the primary which it is
predicted that the new state committee
to be selected on May Is, will order.
Although the candidates are a little
slow about expressing themselves pub
licly, they have talked confidentialIy
to their friends, and none of them will
fail to accord to the harmony move
ment their full support.
In addition to the candidates already
announced, it is expected that during
the next few days there will be many
Others to enter the lists, and there will
be big fight and fair fight. The pol
iticians are at present discussing the
probable action of the new state COM
mittee, and the plan of leaving to the
the legislature the task of selecting its

SUCH ACTION
INDICATED
PLAN PROVING POPULAR
Harmony Committee Was Organ
ICED Wednesday of Regulars
and Independents.

Nashville, April 15.-According to
the opinion of the majority of party
leaders, the new democratic state exec
utive committee, when named by the
convention 10 he held here on May Is,
will order Il primary for the selection
of state officers. 1t is probable that
only candidates for popular elective o.
fees, and rot those elected by the leg.
islature, will be voted for.
The primary is popular with the
masses of the people, and it is not be-
lieved that the new committee will con-
slider any other plan for making nomi-
nations. 1t has been charged by the
VertreeG minority that the harmony
movement was merely for the purpose
of substituting convention for pri-
mary, but this charge is groundless, in
view of the strong likelihood for the
holding of the state primary.
The convention to be held on May Is
is merely for the nominating of electors
the naming Of delegates to the national
convention, the selection of a candidate
for judge of the supreme court and
candidate for judge of the court of civil
appeals and the naming of new state
committee.
Until this convention is held, under
the terms of the editors plan, which
has been ratified by majority of the
two state committees, party affairs will
be directed by the harmony committee,
to be composed of thirteen members of
the independent committee and thir-
teen members of the regular committee.
Should tie vote result, twenty-sev-
enth man would be named to cast the
deciding vote.
The harmony committee will be Or
ganized here next Wednesday, at which
time the Barton committee will meet
and rescind its convention plan. There
is some speculation as to who will be
the chairman of the harmony commit
tee, but the indications are that there
will be no real contest for the honor.
Harmony headquarters are now
open at room 5, Maxwell house, with
Henry Morrow, ]. G. D. Morton, Ed
ward Albright and others in charge.
After the meeting of the harmony
on Wednesday, it is prob.
able that those named at that time to
actively direct the campaign will take
charge and will make strong fight to
bring the two factions still closesr to.

TRAINING NURSES;
FREE SCHOLARSHIPS.

The Philadelphia school for nurses,
2219 Chestnut street, Philadelphia,

ed by patch of richer soil, are strictly
and fully Unbeatable and are transmit
ted to their progeny in full vigor and
perfection. If farmers who are special
ly interested in improving the yields
and quality of their wheats will 90
through their fields at harvest time
and pick out the best heads from their
fields, and thresh and save them for
stock seed, they will find that it will
result in considerable improvement
in the yield, quality and uniformity
OF the scrop produced another season.
Even if the farmer only picks out
enough heads TO make a bushel to a
bushel and half of select seed, this
will give him enough to SOW an acre
OF wheat the next season, and that will
produce superior grade of seed. The
product of this should give him sutfi-
clent seed to give good start towards
his full seeding for the following year.
We are following out this method of
selection son our own farms, and we
hope by this means to eventually in
crease the yield of different varieties of
wheat which we offer, materially: but
farmers can accomplish very generally
the very same results for themselves,
if they will follow out the practice as
above indicated, and increased yields
per acre of ali wheats sown can very
soon come TO be realized, provided
this method is generally practiced in
the saving and selection of seed wheat.

Morton Makes Statement.

The following address to democrats
was issued today by Secretary J. d. G,
Morton of the state democratic execu-
tive committee:
Nashville, Tenn, April 13, 1912.
"Dear Sir: The unification of the
democratic party in Tennessee is now
an accomplished fact. For five months
the regular and independent commit
tees have been striving to accomplish
this result.
"On Jan. II the announcement was
made and the democracy of Tennessee
rejoiced in the belief that the party
was united, that the two committees
had agreed. But disagreeements arose
and the party was again divided.
"On March 8 the two committees
again met. Another effort was made
for unity. The democracy of the
state again expected an agreement but
they did not agree. The plans of
neither were accepted by the other.
The party was still divided.
"Realizing this, a number of patroit-
ic democrats, without regard to fact
ions, and a number of democratic ed
itors of the state met in Nashville in
conference to consider the state of the
party. AS neither committee would
accept the plan proposed by The 9TH
er, it was thought that plan origina-
ting with neither might be acceptable
to both. A plan was suggested, sub
mitted to the members of the commit
tees for their acceptance, and was ac-
cepted by the majority of the men,
bers of both committees.
"The regular democratic executive
committee, of which l a member, to
which / owe my allegiance, and by
whose action am bound, met yester-
day in regular session, and by an over
whelming majority rescinded its act
ion, recalled the convention and pri-
mary ordered, and adopted the plan
suggested by the conference.
Plan Indorsed by All.
"The independent committee will
take similar action next Wednesday.
"TheIe is now only one plan ofdem-
ocratic procedure in Tennessee. This
is not a BOLTS not an independent
movement.

committee, which is the undoubted
and authorized representative of every
regular democrat in Tennessee, has
adopted the plan-has made the plan

Calls Barton Committee.

Calls Barton COMMITTEE
Chairman Barton issued the official
call for a meeting of his committee to
be held in this city next Wednesday
At that time thirteen members of the
committee will be named to compose
the Independent half of the state exec
utive committee, which is to be COM
posed of the same number Of independ-
ents and regulars. A twenty-seventh
man, to vote in the event of tie, will
probably be selected, and for this hon.
or the names of Judge M. M. Allison,
of Chattanooga, and Hill McAllister,
of Nashville, are being mentioned.
The headquarters maintained by the
Vertrees primary board at the Maxwell
house will be closed within the next
few days.
The board has few details to attend
to, such as the returning of the quail
flying fee paid by the five candidates
who entered the May primary, pro
rata to defray the expenses already in
Cured will be made and the remain
der of the money returned to the can
didates who entered the primary.
Vertrees Has Lost.
That the four, five, six or seven mi
nority of the Vertrees committee will
continue their plans to declare vacant
the places of the majority who voted
for the resembling of the May primary,
is not generally believed by those who
are in touch with the present situation.
But even if this is done and another
Vertrees primary ordered, it is appar
ent that it will be primary without
candidates.
A development of today was the res
ignation of Thomas B. Johnson, OF
Franklin, as member of the Barton
committee from the Seventh district.
This leaves the district without repre-
sentation, the other committeeman,
