BOLT TENNESSEE
FuSioniStS Plan to Block Pro-
gram of Regular Democrats
by Leaving the State.

NASHVILLE, TENN, March "a
Tennessee's biennial bolt of legislators
is due to take place early this week
probably tomorrow. Enough members
of the general assembly TO break A
quorum are expected to leave the state
within the next As hours and tie up
pending legislation until barely time TO
rush through important revenue and
appropriation bills before the constitu-
tlonal time for adjournment of the ses-
sion arrives.
The present bolt is planned by the in
dependent Democratic and Republican
fusionists to defeat.the legislative pro-
gram of the regular Democrats, who,
through a combination with the Mem
phis delegation, are now in control Of
the assembly on a bare constitutional
majority.
The chief measureset stake are bill
increasing the state election board from
five to seven members to give the regu-
lar Democrats control of the state cleo
ton machinery a bill to make legisla-
tive flibustering penitentiary offense
and the possible repeal of the law pro-
hibiting the manufacture of whisky in
Tennessee.
Four years ago the regular Democrats
bolted the state to head off prohibition
and election legislation in which they
were unsuccessful, except to delay leg
islative business for several days. Two
years ago the fusionists adopted like
tactics to prevent repeal or Modification
of prohibition and election laws. The
fusionists are now ready to make a
similar move.
1t has not been announced where the
boilers will go when they leave Nash
vile.
