In his letter to Senator Fletcher,
president of the Southern Conner

said: There has been far too little
consideration of the question es a
whole. If we are to reach any salts

and the public must understand both

HOPKINS LIKELY AS
AN ALTERNATE TO

RICHARDSON AT LAWRENCE
BURG CERTAIN AS ONE OF
THE DELEGATES.
BEASLEY OR HAGGARD THE OTHER
Delegates Will Certainly Stand for
the Reformation of Taft, There
Being No Roosevelt or Progressive
Sentiment in the district.

The call for the republican congress
slonai convention al Franklin on tho
day before tine state convention al
Nashville, for the purpose Of electing
delegates to the republican CONVEX
ton at Chicago in June, has caused
some of the members of the G. o. r.
to begin to look up.
There are always a number Of tho
boys who are willing to lay down
their good coin to follow the elephant
on these occasions and doubtless the
present will be no exception.
At present there are not many cut
spoken candidates, however. Marion
RICHARDSON. member of the state COM
mittce, and recent supervisor of the
census of this district, is a candi-
date, and most likely will receive the
endorsement for the place, as there
is hardly a man in the district who
stands higher in his party than does
MIR. Richardson. 1t is PRACTICAL con-
ceded that R S. Hopkins, the well
known local attorney, will be Mr..
Richardson's alternate.
The other delegate, it is believed.
will be either R. A. Haggard, or
Waynesboro, or J. C. Beasley, of Gen.
treville, while the alternates place
will likely be given to C. M. Mount.
of Franklin. Mr.. Mount Is the lres-
mt secretary of the congressional
committee, and like Mr. Hopkins has
always been thoroughly identified
with the republican party.
The delegates from this district
will certainly stand firmly for the re-
nomination OF President Taft, there
being very little IL any sentiment for
Roosevelt, or any Of the other social
ed progressive element among the ~
rublicans of The seventh district.
