HEAVY VOTE IS
CERTAINTY IN
COMING ELECTION
Fair Weather Will Bring Out
Women'S Vote in Full.
Probable Vote Estimated
From 10000 to $4,000.

A heavy vote is a certainty next
Thursday. Nstmatos made at both
headquarters Saturday ranged from co.
900 to $4,000.
The Citizens league committee puts
the estimate much higher than the Will
lianis headquarters, counting on u much
heavier vote by the women thar the
figures the Williams managers are
working on.
The Citizens league campaign COM.
mittee, making its estimates from re.
ports from all the wards, claim that 90
per cent OF the vote Of the ONE win
be cast for Rowlett Paine and his as
sociateS.
The Williams supporters admit, not
ior publication, but when talking among
themselves, that tho Citizens league.
ticket viii get moi less than 70 per cent
Of the vote OF the white women.
Both sides expect the vote of the
women TO he the deciding factor, as
there are not less than 1900 white wom-
en- registered and II is admitted that
most Of them intend to vote. while as
y rule not more than % per cent of
tho men who register vote, That has
been the general estimate In Memphis
for years.
Fair weather may he more important
TO the Citizens league than in any cleo
tion that has been held in years. for
a severe storm might keep thousands
OF women at home,
Williams will win In a vote Of 49,
600" said one Of his supporters Satur-
day, but / am afraid that every vote
above that will so against him" OF
course, members of his committee make
no such admissions.
Final tabuIation of the registration
for the coming city election shows a
total of nearly 10000 voters. To be
exact, the figures are 20. 46S.
There are about $1,000 white men
and approximately 5000 white women,
and the remainder of the registered
voters are negroes, with the women in
a large majority.
What that means, the fact that hun
dreds OF these negro women were ac-
tually herded to the registration places
by the police during the three days
supplemental registration, anyone can
guess. They will be voted almost solid
~, IL possible, under the direction of
the police. for the Williams ticket.
These efforts of the police were con-
fined largely TO the old downtown
wards, where negro women of certain
classes, who have no legitimate means
of livelihood, live. The police were not
able to hold any such control over the
respectable neeroes, who live in scat
tered communities In many Of the larg-
er residence wards.
There is no question that such meth
DDS, used by the worst element in the
present city administration In IN ef-
fort to swell the vote for the Williams
ticket, will be rebuked al the polls by
the white women OF Memphis.

The men who begged Crump
for his support are the last
men in the world to criticize
for accepting an unsolicited
vote. Tt is well known that the
Citizens League candidates
were not the choice of Mr..
Crump.
1t is equally well known
that Mr.. Crump tried to get
out another ticket entirely,
with Colonel w. J. Bacon as it's
head. The Crump issue, there
fore, is a mere fiction of the
Imagination, it is something
which does not exist.
1t is not the record Of Mr..
Crump that is the issue of this
campaign. The Citizens
League Ticket is not taking his
administration into considera-
ton any more than they are
Mr., Malone's or any former
Mayor. The issue in this cam
paign is the administration of
Joe Williams. ,.
He has made the issue him
self. He proposes to stand or
fall by it. The people Of Mem
phis are thoroughly familiar
with this record, and they are
determined to have no more
of it,
They will take no chances of
having their Council divided
on Williams policies. They
intend to elect, not only Mr.,
Paine, but all of his associates
on the Citizens League Ticket,
This is the only way they can
make sure of a clean, harmo-
nous, nonfactional administra-
ton, which they demand.

holds a fat fee job now-and after 40
years of such training, is it reasonable
to believe that he would change his hab-
its if again elected mayor?
He has been the apostle of the 'open
town" and the disciple of the political
trade" And now, when the people of
Memphis are demanding better condi-
tions in our city government and the
elimination of professional politicians,
he is again in the race for power. He is
in it not because there was any demand
for him to run, but because he Jumped
into the field so early in the game that
he blocked the way for others with bet
ter qualifications and better records.
After he had taken the plunge, it
was discovered that he was ineligible to
assume the office of mayor, even if
elected. Strong efforts were made to get
him to withdraw and thus to make way
for some man whose eligibility to become
mayor was unquestioned. But he fatty
refused He preferred to run the direct
risk of defeating his entire ticket or of
plunging Memphis into political litiga-
zion if he was elected. He preferred
this because he is entirely selfish in his
campaign.

WORLD WHEAT CROP
SMALLER THAN IN 1918

ROME, Nov. THE yield of wheat
Tor 1919 amounts to 81 1900, 900 tons in
which produce about half the normal
crop of the world, says a report issued
by. the international institute of agri-
culture. 1t is added that this is about
4,S0O, 900 tons below the yield Of 1918 and
more than 1000, 90 0tons below the aver
age crop of the four years preceding
1918, and that thus there is a greater
shortage than last winter.

Thus it is impossible to advocate the
election of Joe Williams for two princi-
pal reasons: First, because of his record
of 40 years as a professional politician;
second, because the Press is convinced
that he is ineligible to be Mayor and
that his election would certainly result
in disastrous litigation.
AS for Rowlett Paine, he stands head
and shoulders above Joe Williams.
While the latter has been eating at the
public pie counter for 40 years, Paine,
a widows son, has been working him,
self up to a position of responsibility
and respect in his home city. He start
ed as an unknown boy, with every
handicap which poverty and lack of a
father could impose on him, and to a
very substantial degree he has made
good. AS between the careers Of the
poor boy working his way up to a sue
cessful business position, and the pro
fessional politician hunting or holding
office for 40 years, there can only be the
one choice.
For 40 years he has either been hold
ing or running for public office-an
habitual officeseeker--a professional
politician. He has lived by politics-he
