INDICATIONS POINT TO sue
CESS OF DEMOCRATIC TICKET

Nashville. Tenn, September 22.-
Headquarters for the Democratic
campaign have been opened at the
Maxwell Hotel with j. N. Fisher,
chairman Of the executive committee,
in charge. He is being assisted by
John D. Green and Senator E, N.
Hasten, secretaries of the committee.
Every indication points to the tri.
umphant election Of the state and
national ticket this fail. Gov. Cox Is
touring the West and is being greet
ed by thousands Of people, and his pit
iless expose Of the Republican plans
to purchase the presidency has had
telling effect upon the campaign The
Republicans are kept busy day and
night to explain and evade the
charges made against them by Gov.
Cox Many of the Western states
which are nominally Republican are
now being placed in the Democratic
column by expert political writers.
Idaho and Washington are now being
considered safely for Cox.
Reports from over the State indi-
cate that Gov. Roberts and the nat
ional ticket will sweep Tennessee by
the usual majorities. The Republi-
cans in the State are busy and they
belive that with their immense slush
fund they viii be able to make a
creditable showing. But it is now a
certainty in this State that political
preferment can not be purchased
with money. The people Of Tennes-
see are awake to all the tricks and
deception of the crooked POLITICIANS.
Just what the Republicans will UNI
dertake to insert as an issue in the
campaign is not yet known, On many
questions the partv platforms are a
unit. 1t is quite likely that Col. ALT
Taylor will be met with his record
on the UBIQUITOUS force bill, which he
supported when a member Of con-
gress. and which sought to place the
South under the domination Of the
negro-a thing the white man did
not want and would not tolerate. and
a thing the negro had not asked for.
Tennessee will return every Demo-
craic nominee to congress, according
to those in touch with affairs. The
campaign will begin to take on fever
heat within the next few days. Dem
Gratis are urged to be active and see
that every one votes,

BEAUTY SPOT MADE
FROM UGLY GULLY

Ornamental gardening, always in
teresting and worth while, is doubly
so when it transforms an eyesore
into beauty SPOT. A certain resi-
Dental district in the suburbs Of an
Ohio CITY was afflicted with an ugly
clay gully, 1886 feet long and at one
point 267 feet wide, disagreeable
contrast to the slightly homes and
lawns Of the neighborhood. After a
tentative planting of shrubbery had
shown the way, the residents attack
ed the problem with vim. The work
of year, as shown by a page Of IL
Iustrations in the October Popular
Mechanics Magazine, has made the
former Disagreement a veritable
sunken garden, with formal flower
beds and terraces. rough hickory
pergolas loaded with blooming ramb-
lers and a rustic stone fountain
where once was muddy spring.
