When the school bonds heretofore
authorized by the county court and the
100000 additional of highway bonds
authorized at the last session OF the
squires are sold, 1t is expected that
there will be a local demand for them.
Under an act passed by the recent
session of the legislature all bonds
of counties heretofore or hereafter au-
thorized, when issued shall be exempt
from any taxation for city, county or
state purposes
In the past bonds of counties and
municipalities have been subjected to
taxes. Bearing a low rate of interest
they have generally been bought by
purchasers outside of the state as local
investors could not afYord to pay often
as much, as three, per cent.taxes.. on
them. The impression generally pre-
vailed that the legislature could not
csnstitutionally exempt them from
taxes, but the supreme court in the
case involving the bonds for the capt.
toI annex recently upheld the .constitu-
tionality of such exemption.
1t is understood that the exemption
from taxation provided by the act OF
the special session will also apply to

| Nj Col w. F. Poston, one time candi-
date for Governor, and prominent re-
publican of West Tennessee, spoke
here at II o'clock this morning in the
Interest Of his party to q fair. sized au-
dience in the circuit court room. In
the audience were five or six ladies',
land quite number Of democrats.
Col. Poston was Introduced by Col.
A. M Hughes, who in his INTRODUCED
ry remarks predicted a great republi-
can landslide in Tennessee on Novem-
Der O. f,y
Col Poston announcedAat the outset
that he had not come to. discuss so
much the national issues as he had
the issues involved in the state cam.
paign, but stated that he had been re-
quested to mention the sugar ques-
tion, which he declared Ifs a very
sweet question" The speaker attrib-
uted the high prices of sugar and the
scarcity of this staple which existed
last summer to the democratic admin.
istration, and to the democratic adj
ministration's equalization board. He
also declared that the democratic ad-
ministration is responsible for SO corn,
while it should be SO the speaker de-
clared.
Col. Postond then began a vigorous
assault on the administration OF Gov
ernor Roberts, declaring i7thed taxpay-
ers of the state have, abeeif crdshea to
earth" by the tax laws enacted blythe
last general assembly. He declared
that during the war drives were very
popular, and that on November 3 the
voters of the state will make a great
drive for Col. ALI A. Taylor and ele
vate him to the highest position in
the gift of the people of the state
Col. Poston declared that Governor
Roberts was not a fit man to occupy
the governors chair, and to substanti- !
ate the claim he read. extracts taken
from the Chattanooga News, The
Nashville Tennessean. the Commercial
Appeal and other papers. A greater
part of the matter read by Col. Pos
ton was taken from the pre-primary
matter used by democratic opponents
OF Governor Roberts in an effort to
prevent his nomination by the party.
The speaker declared that Governor
Roberts had taxed the. widows and or
phans of the state to point almost ;
unbearable. A greater part of the ad-
dress was devoted to "a criticism of
Governor Roberts administration, and
an appeal was made to those who op-
pose the tax laws to support Col. Tay.
To-.
After Col. Poston had concluded,
Miss Marshall, sent out from Chicago
by national republican headquarters,
discussed the national issues. She
was given the closest attention. al.
hough her audience was small.

WHAT WILL VOTE

NEXT ELECTION?
ADMISSION or WOMEN TO THE
BALLOT HAS SET THE PoLITl-
CLANS GUESSING.
NORMAL MAJORITY IS 5000
Wilson Carried Maury County In 1915

Rye Had a Majority Of 1,35o--What
Wlh Gov. Roberts Have?

titioi 4ioiday . LdiiJ iiCi uiuJ
What will be the' vote of Maury
county on Nov. 2? This is about the
hardest proposition that the political
wiseacres have to figure on. There is
a new element in the electorate. No
one can accurately forecast the num-
Der of votes that will be cast by the
new voters. In the third, seventh and
ninth district women had to register
and of course one can get reasona-
bly, accurate estimate of the number
who win vote but in the other seven
districts of the county this is not pos
sible. In the three districts in which
the women registered, If all vote who
registered, they VIII poll something
like one-fifth oftheir political strength.
meslargest addition will be in the
ninth. district where probably 800 wo-
men will vote or between one-fourth
and ope-third Of the normaIvote of the
district when only men went to the
polls. Not as gooda percentage regis.
tered in the other two districts.
In 1916. the last presidential cleo
ton in Maury county there were less
than 1900 votes cast. Wilson received
2.170 and Hughes got 720, a majority
for Wilson of 1,450. Tom Rye, demo
crat for. governor, beat Overall, repub-
lican, by 100 less votes, carrying the
county by 1850. The average demo,
cratic majority in the county for sew
eral years jim presidential race has
been 1,500. Despite the increased vote
that will be polled in the coming cleo.
ton there. are few democrats who be-
lieve that Cox will get larger ma,
jority than this average.
What will Roberts majority in the
county be? That is hard to figure
| Unquestionably the women vote is GO
Ing to help the governor materially in
the county. The opposition to Roberts
among the women will not be mani
tested because they will not generally
vote, but those who do vote will &c
largely for the governor. OF course
there are women voters who will not
vote for the governor, but the ceneen-
sus of opinion is that three-fourths at
least of those who vote will support
Roberts.
| viii the woman vote offset the disaf,
lection against Roberts among the
male voters? That is question that
only the returns from the election can
answer. II it does his majority will
be the normal democratic majority in
the county and around 1,500. A total
vote of $500 is taken as conservative
estimate, although by the census there
are actually 10000 persons. of voting
age in the county. II $500 votes are
cast for president Cox is sure to get
5000 of them.

lrTom MONDAY Dafiy 1eralu)
Tennessee's Grand Old. Man.
Teacher and statesman, lecturer, citi-
zen sans reproach, Ex-United States
Senator w. r. Webb, "Old Sawney," as
he is affectionately called, received a
splendid ovation when he spoke here
this afternoon to one of tliA largest
crowds that has heard a public speak
ing. Only ALI Taylor and Governor
Roberts have spoken to anything like
as large audiences. The circuit court
room was filled and nearly all of the
hearers were voters. There were
probably scores of women present
and the audience was made up of peo-
pie from all sections Of the county.
q Mr.. Webb commented on his audi
enceadeclaring that it was the largest
and best that he has addressed during
the present campaign. 1t was evidence
not alone of an increased interest in
the coming election, but it was per-
sonal tribute to the former citizen and
teacher of this county. There were
many in the audience who do not ordi-
nariily attend public speakings,4 but
who went because they wanted to hear
this fine old citizen, whose leadership
they have followed in other days
Although getting on in years Mr..
Webb has lost very little If any of the
peculiar qualities as speaker which
always held attention and commanded
respect. Senator Webb's- explanation
of the league of nations was one of the
clearest and most Illuminating that
has been heard in Columbia. He made
this issue perfectly plain and showed
that all government was merely an as.
ISOLATION or a league. He said that
the United tSates itself was simply a
federal union which meant league OF
separate states, that Mr.. Harding's
proposed association of nations would
be simply another name of a league
of nations. He said that the league of
nations would enforce its mandates
through moral suasion just as all the
court DEGREES were respected in the
counties and states of the union.
Senator Webb discussed the great
achievements of the Wilson admins
tration with special reference to the
banking system. He spoke of the won
| derful results achieved by the admin
listration under the greatest Difficult.
ties during the war.
Coming down to state affairs Mr..
Webb urged the reelection Of Cover
nor Roberts. He paid high tribute to
the fearlessness and courage and back
bone of the governor and his devotion
to law and order. He answered the
criticisms that had ben leveled against
the new system of taxation and declar-
ed that 1t was an improvement on the
old.
In opening his speech enator Webb
said that it gave him great pleasure to
address the newly enfranchised wo-
men voters as my fellow citizens

 According to the Governor. the
 fuel oil situation is giving the steamship companies considerable uneasiness and the outlook from this source alone indicates that their operation costs will be raised by more than s5OO,OOO. The Standard
 Oil company will not place any new contracts for fuel oil supplies and it is probable that oil will cost the companies Sl per barrel more than it is costing them today. Many of the companies are already consider
 ing changing from oil to coal-burn-
 ing engines. Inquiries made at the Admiral Line offices in Juneau, in charge of J. H. Kline, and at the offices of
 the Alaska Steamship company, in charge of Willis E. Nowell. failed to bring any more definite informa-
 tion about the proposed tariff raises, says the Juneau Empire. At neither office had any official word been received of the contemplated raise. At both offices, however, it was said that rumors of such raise were going the rounds, and if it came it l would not be unexpected, on &C., count of raises in rail tariffs and ! in coastwise shipping rates in other

 Gov. Riggs stated that the Ter ritorial Shipping board had taken the matter up with the United States Shipping board, asking that careful consideration be given to the mat ter. He also said that at least Alaska tariffs would not be included

Boundary lines between Canada and Alaska north of Prince Rupert are to be determined accurately by engineers of the Dominion ard Am erican governments this summer. 4 party of Canadian engineers from Ottawa arrived at Prince Rupert re- gently and have begun their survey.
 They will work north until they meet a party of American engineers who are working south from the I'puk river. The two expeditions will clear a boundary trail cut l5 years ago and erect new cairns and monuments to mark the dividing line between the two countries.
 The work of defining the boun- dafy clearly is due to the silver strike on the coast mountains. The silver field lies on both sides of the line, and in the present state of the boundary miners are unable to tell under which flag their claims are located.
