OF the United Daughters OF the Con-
Iederacy. whose home is ut Paris.
Tenn. urging the Daughters of the
Confederacy TO take hold of the propo-
sltlon 1e said in his letter:
IN the FULLEST appreciation Of the
work of the United Daughters of tho
| Contederacy, Of which you are the hon
ored head, 1t has occurred to me that
no more appropriate or inspiring work
could be undertaken by your great or
ganlzation than to take the lead In the
work for the erection of monument
at richmond in honor of that greatest
miitary genius of the Confederacy,
General Stonewall Jackson.
Support of the Entire South.
In this work you will receive the
support of every Confederate soldier
and Of tho entire citizenship of the
South. Surely there can be no more
deserving memorial erected than this
one, which will commemorate the valor.
the sacrifice and modest bravery of the
Christian soldier who fell ut Chancel-
louisville.
If it meets with your approval. 1
would suggest the 2lst of January
1914, the ninetieth anniversary Of tho
birth Of General Jackson to be set
apart ms Tag Day and every chapter
in each State division sell tags, the
proceeds of which to be devoted TO tho
Jackson monument fund. We tried this
method successfully in raising funds to
complete our Hoods Texas Brigade
monument at Austin In 1910 know
your organizations is performing
heroic service in erecting the Arlington
monument. for which the South Is deep
ly grateful. but since the mortality OF
the men who followed jackson grows
greater every year. it seems to me we
have no time to lose. Not only in Vir-
ginia, his native State, but in all of
the States whore the name Of Stone |
wall jackson is loved, honored and re-
vered. i am sure the people Will gladly |
stand with the United Daughters OF the
Confederacy in their noble work to
build a monument TO this great Ameri |
can soldier"

PRIMARY RETURNS

Has Been Variously
Construed.

Jake Brenaman e still worrying. No
one will tell him what 10 do with
bushel or so OF primary election re-
turns now IN his custody. They have
not been opened. and until they are
opened there is no way Of telling
whether they are all here or not
Acting Chairman Echuls docs not want
TO call the state Committee hereto go
over the returns, only to find dozen
or so precincts missing. and have the
committee wait here while some one
Is sent for them
Informally, there seems to be gen
eral approval OF the suggestion that
Mr.. Brenaman be allowed to open and
tabulate tho returns in the presence
OF representatives of the candidates
and when I'll Is in readiness, call the
State Democratic Committee to award
the certificates of nominations This
Is the plan followed by the State Board
OF Canvessers, and there seems to be
nothing in the law which requires the
returns to be opened in the presence
OF the committee Section 20 OF the
Byrd primary law is the one that has
caused the trouble
Plan * Changed
Heretofore returns were cent to
county or city committees and can
vassed. and tho State committee had
only 10 pass on the reports OF 100
counties and eighteen cities Now
some people construe the law to mean
that the precinct judges must send
their reports direct to the state com.
mittee. and more than 500 have been
sent IN, but as many of the envelopes
are not labelled IT is impossible TO
say which are missing
me new section OF the primary law
which has caused the trouble, and over
me meaning of which lawyers disagree.
reads follows:
"Thc vote Mt NIL primaries shnu he
cnnvnsscd, counted by the Judges Of
election md certified TO the county or
CIT! chairman of the respective parties
hoidinS the primary, and in the case
vi the election of Representatives to
congress be certified to the chairman
or the congressional committee of the
respective party for the congregational
districts, and in tho cnse OF United
states Senator's and State officers TO the
chairman OF the central committee OF
the respective parties"
Pollard Is Willing
secretary Brenaman has had CON
ference with John Garland Pollard, tho
leading candidate for Attorney General
by approximately 2,6OO votes on tho
uAoiiicial returns, at which Mr. Pollard
expressed his willingness to enter into
any plan satisfactory to the other can
dida'es TO have the returns opened and
canvasscd by committee of the State
democratic Committee to be appointed
by Acting Chairman Echols. in the
presence OF representatives of the can
dldates. AS soon as Secretary Brcna-
man has heard from the other candi-
oates on this proposition, he will take
the matter up with Chairman Echols.
He regards 1T as the only solution of n
difficult problem, for, if the State Com
inittee is to undertake the canvass OF
the returns from all tho precincts in
the State, 1t would require several
days, aside from the probability OF de-
laws when the missing ones are To-
Gated.
