PARTY SUCCESS.

Democrats OF Tennessee should not
delude themselves with the idea thai
they are going to have a walkover in
either the state or the nation next
year. The republican party was pref
ty badly worsted in the presidential
election of 1912 but it has remarka
BILE way of recovering and recent con
tests in pivotal states are anything
but encouraging to the democrats
There is going to be real old fash
toned party contest i'll this nation
next year. 1t will not be tiasco like
the affair of three years ago The
democrats will need all the votes that
they can get. Unless the party pre-
sents a solid front and makes rea'
sonably effective appeal to the indie
pendents our splendid president may
he defeated.
What is true of the nation is like
wise also the case in the state. Ten
nessee can no longer be classed as a
safely democratic" state. The vot-
ers here are more Independent than
they have been in the past Party
ties hang rather loosely. The party
that wins success must prove to the
hot &c nnfitloH tn hair
port Support of the nominees is not
much of fetish with the voters now.
The margin between the democratic
party united and the republican party
united and aggressive in Tennessee,
in a presidential year, is not cry
large in this state 1t has at times
been uncomfortably close. A weak
state ticket would prove quite a
stumbling block to the Tennessee de-
mocracy in a presidential year
1t should be the effort of the demo
Gratis of the state to nominate tick
ct that will appeal to a reunited parry
Every one knows that M. r. Patter-
son is a firebrand to hundreds and
thousands of democrats in the state
he cannot command the united sup
port Of the party. Probably his most
ardent supporter, familiar with condi-
tons in the state, would be forced to
admit this fact, Then why nominate
him? Why jeopardize the interests of
the party in state and nation by the
nomination of candidate who admit
teddy cannot command the united
support of the party?
On the other hand the democrats
have the opportunity to nominate a
candidate who will command the SOL
i'd support of the party, one who will
carry the party banner to victory, In
Kenneth D. Mcclellan the democrats
have a candidate whose nomination
means hope and victory for the party,
a healing Of old wounds, a binding up
OF old sores and an adjustment Of all
former differences, Assuredly we
have had quite enough of party strife
and factional bitterness. Why not
name Mcclellan and make next years
election so far as it effects the sena-
torship, a mere ratification?

ed the cause in good repute and bad,
who supported the matchless Car
mack in his great campaign upon this
issue, must now vote for our former
arch enemy or be branded as hypo-
critics. Verify it does not lie in the
mouth of NJ r. Patterson to ques-
ton any mans sincerity or talk
about any one being hypocrite.

tory of Europe has no counterpart to the situation of this young girl, who a year ago was worshiped by her people as the bright star" of Luxemburg.
 Months prior to the war her be- trothal to Prince Henry of Bavaria de- lighted the pontif1cal court at Rome since both the royalties are fervently Roman Catholic and Luxemburg has been ravaged by anti -clericalism. Now what has happened to this romance? The last that was heard of Duchess
 Marie was story cabled from Geneva shortly after the kaiser's birthday. 1t
 said that on that day Emperor William
 sent one of his generals to her with an invitation to visit him and share in the
 birthday celebration. According to the cabled story Marie Adelaide sent her
 kind wishes to the kaiser. but refused
 to leave her palace.
 So strong is the veil of secrecy that now enshrouds the royal castle none knows whether or not the duchess has carried out the wedding which had been arranged. Marie has will of her
 own and may have married despite the terrors of the war and her voluntary imprisonment on her royal domain. But, if so. what has become of the Bavarian consort, if, in truth, he is consort at all? This is equally a part of the mystery. Prince Henry, it is thought, is fighting with one of the kaiser's armies. But even that much
 is not known.
 This situation has inspired all sorts
 of inconceivably fantastic rumors. One I of these is that the grand duchess, who i is twenty years old, is to become the
 bride of Prince Joachim the kaiser's
 youngest son.
 | Secret marriage, compulsory divorce, solemn betrothal and partings in grief
 and tears all have their place in the
 stories being told in this the most sen
 timental complication provoked by the
 war. If anything is known at Rome I the Vatican is guarding it's secret we'll No one has been able to learn anything one way or another.
 To add to all this, history affords as I background the glamour of a past. for l from the grand duchy of Luxemburg came Godfrey de Bouillon, leader of valiant crusaders and founder of the kingdom of Jerusalem; the good, blind King John of Bohemia and Maria I ITheresa, who, through splendid mag netism and courage, won to her failing
