Concerning Estimates.

The very capable and affable news
paper reporter, Mr.. Morgan Blake, is
the representative OF the Nashville Ban
ner who accompanies former Gov. Pat
terson on his speaking tour OF the State.
Mr.. Blake let it be known to few OF
his confidential friends in each town in
East Tennessee that he thinks 'Patter-
son is going to sweep Middle Tennes-
see" and after finishing his tour thru
East Tennessee this same Mr.. Blake in
formed Chattanooga friend that Pat
terson will sweep East Tennessee. "
Well, since we know how little there is
in the Blake claim for East Tennessee,
where even Patterson leaders concede
that he will not carry a single county,
we can judge of his ability as a prophet
regarding Middle Tennessee. Besides,
this is the same Mr.. Blake that accom-
panied Governor Hooper in his cam
paign tour through East Tennessee be-
fore he was showed under by the ava
lanche of Rye ballots in 1914. In the
Imperial Hotel in Knoxville, when Gov
ernor Hooper spoke last in that city inn
mediately preceding the election, Mr..
Blake, as we are reliably informed,
prophesied that Hooper would poll as
large a vote as he did in 1912 and that
he would carry the State by about Is, 900
votes.
Well, the election came and the count
showed that Mr.. Blake only missed
the result 10000 votes. Now, that is
easily accounted for. A correspondent
following one candidate hears only news
favorable to that candidate. He natural
ly grows to the belief that since all the
people who talk to him are talking for
his candidate that all others are Indulg-
ing in the same kind of talk. But this
was shown to be very wide of the mark
in the case of Governor Hooper in his
last race and there is another dsllusion
due our good friend, Mr.. Blake, when
the returns come in from the November
primary. -Greenville Democrat.

Gov. Tom c. Rye Finds Many Rea
sons for Gratitude.
Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 14.-Gov
Rye to-day gave out his Thanksgiv.
ing Day proclamation as follows:
We are again approaching the sea-
son when our people are wont to
make public acknowledgement to
the great Ruler of the Universe for
His countless blessings and tender
mercies showered upon us for the
year just passing. During this time
the nations of Europe have been
writing history with pen of blood,
while the pages of our history for
the same time have been written
with pen of brotherly love in a
spirit of forbearance, guided by the
wisdom of those in authority, who
have made Peace on earth and good
will toward men" the guiding star
of official conduct and action. so that
we enjoy the distinction of being
the only great power in the world
not involved in a struggle in which
human life must pay the penalty.
On every hand we behold countless
evidences of the blessings of an all
wise Providence; the churches and
organizations established for the re-
lief of sin-sick, crime-blasted and UNI
fortunate humanity are continually
widening the scope of their useful
ness, evidencing the fact that we re-
alize and appreciate the blessed truth
that we are indeed our brothers
keeper, and that so long as God
blesses and prospers us He must not
neglected be.
The husbandman has prospered as
he has not prospered in many years
before and inreased and renewed
energies and activities in all avenues
of trade and industry foretell a re-
turning prosperity, bringing untold
blessing to happy, contented and
peaceful people.
Now, Therefore, l, Tom G. Rye,
Governor of the State of Tennessee,
do hereby join the President of the
United States in designating and set
ting apart Thursday, 25th day OF
as Thanksgiving Day, and
| do earnestly request and urge that
all the people of the State observe
this day in a manner that will show
their appreciation of the blessings
the past year has brought to them.
| trust that in the homes, the
churches and in such places as may
be most fitting, the people will gath
er and in some appropriate way give
ungrudging thanks to Almighty God
for the manifold blessings that we,
as a people and as individuals, are
permitted to enjoy.
In witness whereof / have hereun~

Petrograd, Nov. 14.-Gen. Ruzsky,

the Bourse Gazette, spoke confidently
of conditions at the front. He said:
without indulging In prophecy,
which would be imprudent, may say
that we are now guaranteed against I'M

enemy. The time for surprises is past.
But it would be irresponsible frivolity
to describe the enemy as exhausted or
in the death throes. On the contrary,
he is strong, but not so strong that we
need fear surprises either here or on the
western front.
by not advancing, the enemy is
really retreating. The Germans now
surrender readily, In whole companies
and battalions, and this, in my opin-
ion, is an ominous sign. Their men
are worn out by privation, cold and
the specter of winter and, instead of
their former self-confdence, show de-
