ELECTION PROVES
DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS

Believers IN post mortemS,
an aftermath of every contest,
whether it be baseball, an cleo
ton or poker game, have fig
ured that the official vote in the
gubernatorial race vindicated ev-
cry prediction claim of the
democrats and even proved some
claims made by supporters of
Nom Rye before the May demo-
atic convention.
Che total vote for McMillin and
per, the Republican and
cratic candidates, respect
80 bin 1912, was 241, 251. This
sdr the vote for Rye and Hoop
er was 255.328, thus proving,
they say, that Tennessee is a
democratic state, but the plat
forms for the past four years
have not been what a large per-
centage of Democrats wanted.
Probably the most interesting
fact of the entire election re-
turns is shown when Governor
Hooper's vote of two years ago
is compared with this year. The
governors vote this year fell off
just 7,166. Two years ago the
governor got a total vote of 124,
GAL, but this year he got only
117,475.
Then, too, it is shown that
Rye increased the democratic
vote over two years ago. Nc
Millin polled a vote of 116, ,610,
but Rye polled a vote of 1877, 853,
an increase of 21,243 Support
ers of Rye before the conven-
ton claim that this amply justi-
fies their claim that Rye was
stronger by twenty thousand
votes than any other candidate
the democrats could have nomi-
mated.
Just where the progressive or
bull moose vote of two years ago
went it is hard to say. Un-
doubtedly some of it went to
GeneraS Rye, but the bulk of the
vote went bach Republican, the
wise ones among the politicians
say. This vote was 4,483. The
socialists polled their usual vote
of about three thousand in the
state.
The race for railroad commits
sioner brought out one of the
largest votes ever polled for that
office. Two years ago General
Hannah, Democrat, was without
republican or independent oppo-
sition. He polled a vote of 116, :
206, only 404 votes behind Nc
Millin. This year George Welch,
the democratic nominee. polled a
vote of 1913, 563, exclusive Of Un-
ion county, which has not yet
come in officially. This shows
that many independents voted
for Welch, as well as many pro-
gressives, A, 772 of whom voted
for Ellington in 1912.
One of the most interesting
features of the campaign just past
is that the Republican and Demo
cratic votes for governor exceed
ed by about seven thousand the
total votes of Wilson. Taft and
Roosevelt two years ago. Rye's
majority, indeed, was about the
same as President Wilson's ma.
jority over his combined oppo-
nents, thus proving that instead
of Tennessee being permanent
) ly Republicanized, the state has
been made permanently demo
cratic. Rye's vote exceeded the
vote for Woodrow Wilson by
more than 1000, notwithstand
ing the fact that Wilson was th'
most popular presidential candi
date and is the most popular
President Tennesseans ever votet
for.

Tells Time in the Dark

listen and listen for the nearest church
bell to ring out the hour and, waiting for
it, grow wider and wider awake?
If you do these things, and have teq
dollars to spend, you do them needlessiy.

watches that tells time in the dark
In the daytime it looks like an ordinary
watch. Above each figure is little dot
of metallic brightness, and the hands are
unusually bright. But at night the hands
and the dots above each figure shine with
phosphorescent brightness For they are
covered with radium compound which
is always visible in the dark.
For two dollars more you can buy
watch with the figures covered with the
compound and two dollars more pays
for leather case in which the watch
can be carried.

Smart NeckWear.

THE fashion of wearing dresses open
/ at the throat has led to the adoption
of an endless variety of neckwear. First,
there was the guimpe without any collar
at all. Now there are those with now
ing collars and plastron or vestee fronts
made of the sheerest swiss and organdy,
either hand or machine embroidered, or
tucked. Sometimes dainty lace is added
to relieve the severity and increase the
appropriateness for use with summer
dresses. The collar of these guimpes rolls,
flares or stands away from the neck.
Many collars are removable. Ihey are
fastened in the back with buttons or
strings, so that they are taken on WIN
ease They are generally made or some
airy fabric, such as tulle. OF lace When
they are made high and enclrcle the neck
they are made to stand up by means OF
a very fine wire fixed to the edge OF the

They may be made Of muslin. cambria.
pique or organdy, trimmed with feather
stitching and lace Beautiful fronts are
made of fine linen embroidered in all
kinds of ways. The shapes worn are OF
infinite variety. You may choose what
throat free.
With the fashionable waistcoat. which
is worn over blouse OF tulle or muslin,
and which has the back made IN the
same material as the front, one may IN
dulge every whim in fancy collars. Jaunty
vests and waistcoats of pique, organdy,
i ratine or linen, finished with plain rolling
| collars wired in the back, are worn with
the extremely short coats.
