Signing for the Flesh Pot.

Mr.. Hughes, the Republican nomi-
nee for President, has now covered
the continent from coast to coast ir
one grand speech-making swing
around the circle. Summed up anC
boiled down, all the reasons and argu-
ments offered in his speeches why the
people should elect him President and
return the Republican party to power
amount to nothing more than the
reason given to Gov. Bob Taylor by
an old negro woman pleading with
him to pardon her husband out of the
penitentiary. The governor asked her
Whats he in for ?"
Stealing hoo"
did he steal the hog?"
HE show did, Gov'ner."
us he pretty good sort of Niger
when he is at home? 2"
mo sir, he is about the trifn'-
est, nocountest niger you ever saw
well, what do you want him Out
for ?"
Because, Guv'ner, we'se out o meat
agin."
The Republicans are out of meat
again and are getting awful hungry
for the offices.-McMinnville Southern
Standard.

PLAYING THE POLITICAL GAME

The news sent out from Washing
ton by the special correspondent of
the Commercial Appeal thus forecasts
the political lineup two years hence:
Gov Rye a candidate for congress
in the Eighth district, regardless Of
) whether Representative Sims seeks
the nomination or retires at the end
of the Sixty-ffth congress.
Speaker of the Senate Crabtree for
governor.
Speaker Shropshire of the house to
oppose Representative Byrns for con-
gress in the Hermitage district.
United States Senator Lea to run
against Senator Shields in the next
senatorial primary.
Judge Ewing L. Davis to contest
the next nomination for congress in
the FIFTH district with Representative
Houston.
Representative Moon, of the Third
district, to be opposed by Judge Joe
v. Williams.
Whether this forecast is correct is
matter of speculation, but the game
is being played with energy. There
are measures before the assembly
that bear the earmarks of the handi-
work Of the machine builder.
1t is known that Hon. Charles 7.
Gates has senatorial ambitions; Hon.
j. B. Frazier would like to go back
to the senate, and Judge s. ]. Everett
of this judicial district, would like to
be governor. Senator Shields is not
going to surrender without a fight,
and there are few more astute poll
ticians.
In the making Of the slate, some
strong men will be left out and the
possibilities are that any slate made
will be badly cracked, if not smashed.
Machine building and slate making
are favorite diversions Of politicians,
and Tennessee politicians are past
masters in the art.

A REAL CRISIS WITH GERMANY

Notwithstanding President Wilson's
underwriting and parleying, the crisis
between Germany and the United
States has been reached. The German
government announces, to begin on
February l. an unrestricted submarine
war on commerce. 1t prescribes the
territory on the seas and neutrals and
belligerents in these limits will be the
prey of the submarine. It is an open
declaration of war on the commerce
of neutrals as well as belligerents.
international law and rules of war
fare are repealed by the order Of the
imperial government. Mr.. Wilson
must either break off diplomatic re-
lations with Germany, with all this
means, or decline to back up what he
declared to be international law and
the rights of neutrals.

The news comes from Nashville
that the bill granting partial woman

al Washington July 20. In every
district the names of those register.
ed were numbered from l to the
highest total figure. In Dickinson

cording to the latest information.
