SLICE OF G. G. P. MELON
WILL SOLACE BOYS
McKellar Declares No Pros
poets of Tennessee Going
Republican.

Washington, Sept. 35.--(Special) -
Senator McKcllar today emphaticaliy
disputed the claims OF the republicans
that they will carry Tennessee In No
vcmber setting up n counter claim that
tho democrats win carry the state by
at least $4,000. He contends that the
vain boast of the republicans Is due TO
an itching palm that Is reaching out
for a share of the slush fund.
II see Senator Harding Is going "a
visit Tennessee and speak At Chatta-
nooga Oct 13.' he said. We VIII be
glad TO have him visit us. We don't
know of any place where his time
may be more pleasantly or hArmlessiy
spent. He will be cordially received
and greeted by both democrats and re-
publicans, but Tennessee is n demo-
cratic state and will go democratic this
year by majority in the neighhor-
hood Of 10000 or perhaps more since
the women vote. Every four years
there is claim set UP that Tennessee
Is going republican. without such n
claim our good republican friends down
there could not connect with some OF
this enormous slush fund that the ma
tonal republican committee is raising
and distributing.
II say let them have It, the faithful
will appreciate II and II viii do lese
harm down there than any place \
know. Some OF our republican boys
have been away from the crib long.
"a little campaign fund will crafty
them very much and do no harm. Sure.
ly since they are sending their candi-
up with appropriate funds. con-
gratulate the faithful on their PROS
pects, II will solace them greatly for
their certain defeat In November"
