A Republican peace dove fluttered
into Memphis this week from Nashville
and there are now prospects that the
message brought may result In a har-
monious settlement Of the threatened

itials OF sam r. Sells. congressman
from the First district, and that TO one
leg was tied a note, limiting that the
new deal In shelby county required the
retirement Of several gentlemen VINO
have aspired TO leadership, Develop
nents seem 70 indicate that there may
be some truth in the reports,
Col. Harry b. Anderson, for example.
Is out with a statement that he now
has no desire TO serve as governor, nor
to even run for that office under the
banner Of the u. q. H., and that conse-
Quently he is no longer candidate
Col Anderson had the Endorsement Of
the faction led by G. Tom Taylor IN
shelby and a few other West Tennessee
counties.
There are also hints that Mr.. Tay-
= lor's aspirations to go from Tennessee
y 10 Chicago as a delegate TO the national
\ q. q. p. convention and to secure rec
z ignition In the state convention were
scorned by the state leaders at con-
4 ference in Nashville last Tuesday and
that the new county committee IN Shell
n by, headed by &. b, Allen, which rep
resents the action OF the convention
4 held last Saturday. will be recognized.
That viii include recognition, of course,
Z OF the delegates named by that conVen-
Z tion, which includes about 20 prominent
women.
Ar. Taylor has a farm near Cren-
shaw. Miss. and might seek to be
elected a delegate from that state.
II has already been stated In news
paper dispatches from Nashville that
tho state leaders have decided TO send
eight delegates from the state-at-larEe
from the Chattanooga convention, in
stead OF four, thus pacifying the war
ring factions led by Newell Sanders ana
Jesse Llttleton,
il q also limited that the Tennessee
delegation to the Chicago national meet
ing will be uninstructed although the
state G o. p, leaders generally favor
the nomination of Gen Leonard WOOD.
Sam r. Sells has been named rs the
Wood manager for Tennessee and over
in the eastern section, in which the Re-
publican voting strength lies, the WOOD
\ men seem to nave everything their own
way.
Az 10 gubernatorial candidates. Re-
publiean state leaders seem to be at
sea. They have no hope OF defeating
Gov. A. II. Roberts for reelection, but
there win be aspirants a-plenty who
would accept the nomination In the
hope that, In case OF Republican sue
Tess in tho national election, they would
be In line for a fat political office
But that's b part OF the story to be
tinfolded In due time, which Democrats
win watch with more amusement than
