tion OF John ]. Gore, OF Cookeville. as

in the state. He was picked by Con-
gresham Sells and Mr.. Kruesi with

dation OF Snator Newell Sanders and

publcans are we'll pleased with his cleo
ton.
The election OF w. r. Appleby. Of Lex
ington, Henderson county, as secretary
OF the state committee, recognizes, per-
haps. the most influential republican to-
day In all OF the twenty-five counties

ton from the Eighth district to the
Chicago convention over the Nrong op-
position of the Littleton forces. Mr..

GOVERNMENT PLANS
 NEW SAVINGS STAMPS
By Or,ted Presss

Washington, Dec. 1.-Two new treasury savings securities, a S1 treasury saving stamp and $25 treas ury savings certificate, will be issued during the coming year, Secretary Houston announced today. They will complete the line of government sav- ings securities, he said, and place op- erations on a peace time basis.
 The $1 savings stamp will be non interest bearing and will carry the portrait of Alexander Hamilton, first secretary of the treasury. The S25 cer tifcates will be similar in design and terms to the $100 and $1 900 cer- tificates, which also will be offered in 1921 to mature January, l, 1926. The new securities will supply $1 unit for saving and a registered govern ment security in the $25 denomination, which may be purchased through ac- of $1 savings stamps.
