of the year for the democracy Of
Tennessee.
For nearly three months the
three candidates have been upon
the stump, nearly every town and
hamlet in the state having been
visited by some one OF the aspirants
or speakers in their behalf. Sena-
tor Lea, has, perhaps, more than
doubled either Of his opponents in
the number of addresses made
during the campaign.
Locally, the situation is mixed;
each candidate having strong
following in this county, While
each side has been active, alert,
Jealous, there has been no i'll will
engendered by any one. The
campaign has been, so far as this
county is concerned, one Of good
feelings, free from bitterness,
luminosity or harsh utterances.
The local managers Of the re-
spective candidates have been
courteous to one another, as have
also the followers OF each candidate.
Early in the campaign the Enter
prise admonished good fellowship
among the followers of the three
distinguished gentlemen seeking
the democratic nomination for the
highest Office within the gift Of the
citizens Of Tennessee. The candi-
dates themselves, in the beginning,
pitched their campaign upon a
high plane and it has been kept
there.
Tomorrow marks the final close
Of this most strenuous campaign.
Either Mr.. Lea or Mr.. KcKellar
or Mr.. Patterson will be defeated.
There is but one Office and three
men seeking that office-two will
be defeated. There is a diversity
OF opinion as to whether there will
be a run-off, some contending there
will be none, while others are just
as confident there will be. The
Enterprise thinks there will be a
run-off.s
Every democrat should 60 to
the polls on Saturday tomorrow
and cast his vote for his favorite
candidate. II he loses there, then
he ought to go into the run.off,
primary, to be held in December,
and vote for his second choice, and
if he loses again, let him line ur
for the nominee in the final cleo.

The local managers-Mr. Elkins
representing Gov. Patterson, SMr.
Webb looking after Senator's LEAFS
interests, and Clerk Nv. House
in charge Of McKellar's campaign

OF the results. Each declares his
man will win. On Wednesday |
afternoon Mr.. Elkins gave out this
interview as a summary Of the
campaign:
The full party vote should be polled
in the election Saturday, The cam
paign has been free from bitterness,
and good feeling prevails among the
friends Of the candidates. AS the
chairman OF Governor Patterson's
committee in this county,
can state that his friends confidently
expect his nomination, sbut whether
Governor Patterson is nominated or
not, they will cheerfully abide the
wishes OF a majority OF their brother
democrats and help elect the nominee.
Governor Patterson is the ablest man

Ienator be the equal OF any in that
