New Rotation
Puts Hickman Out
Giles Thinks Boyd is Good
Enough for Senator Again
And Defers TO Wayne

The New rotation rule which was
adopted by the twenty second senalo-
rial and seventeenth iloterial districts
recently, which new rule halched in
Columbia, puts Lawrence Counly's
candidate for The lower house out Of
the running. DR.. E. P, Hickman
was elected from The iloierial district
there last term and was always on the
job when il came 10 doing the voting al
the right time and in the right place
for the regulars, and just why he was
not entitled to the traditional second
term has not been explained, when
Wayne was accorded the second term"
for senator.
Dr.. Hickman made his announce
ment as candidate for the nomination
some time ago, but Giles County put
her self in the attitude TO control the
entire situation when the new rule was
adopted by starting at home with each
Of the nominees ], c. Hannah has
been nominated by Giles for ilOaler
aud has said 10 Wayne you first my
dear AlphOnso," il you intend 10 name
Mr. Boyd, which will I've done.
No nominations were made against
these men so far, but il is rumOred that
the candidate for senator against Boyd
will be either Marion Richardson from
Lawrence or Newt White from Giles -

More Evidence
OF Combination
Irregular" Democrats and 7 a y
IOr.H Ouk Republicans
Working Together.

Another bit of evidence Of the com.
bination Of the Regular Democrats and
the Tom Taylor Houk brand of Bull
Moosers throughout the state was al.
forded when Percy H. Barbee, Progress.
sive nominee for the Legislature in
Weakley County and probably the
youngest candidate for the House, told
Of his prospects Yesterday.
Mr.. Barbee is not only the Youngest
candidate, but he is also about the
most hopeful, and he bases his hopes
on his belief that all the Regulars
in Weakley County are going to vote
for him and against McWhorter, 10
dependent Democrat. and the only
other candidate, we have a good
safe majority of from 200 to 500," h,
said Our people are for local self
government"
Mr.. Barbee further stated that 1t wa
his belief that under certain condition
McMiIlin would carry Weakley County
What these conditions would have t.
be Is indicated by the fact that Hope
carried it by 800 two years ago,
would require lot Of Bull Moose vote
for McMillin 10 put the thing across,
Mr.. Barbee's naive admission tina
he is to receive regular support in hi
ambition 10 represent the county q
WeakleY is merely an indication of th
way the thing is working out. Resulu
support is to be given TO the Tom Tay
lor candidate where the Regulars hav
no chance TO put man in the Lesi'
lature, and it is not too much 10 sur
pose that there is to be a return iC
this service. Col. Poston will be th
man that will lose bv the returns, Will
McMillin will be the gamer,

DIR. Hickman
Still in Race
Lawrence County Candidate for
Legislature Will Garry His
<s.- Case to the People Them
I selves in November
Election

Speculation has been lively, as
to whether Lawrence County's
candidate for FIoater, DR. E P
Hickman, would step aside at the
3ehest of the band of political
leaders who have decided that he
should relinquish his hopes for an
endorsement term. There need
be no further doubt on the matter.
We are authorized by DR.. Hick-
man to say to the people that he
Is still in the race, and will carry
his fight for justice and fair treat
ment to the people at the polls In
November. He feels that no man
can question the fact that he hai
kept faith with those who elected
him and that In all respects hi
record is consistent with his pre-
election promises A full state
ment of DR. Hickman's views will
