to receive q very handsome vote in
East Tennessee, where he has been
one of the outstanding figures of
the republican party for more than
a quarter of century.
Other announced candidates for
the republican nomination in August
are former Mayor Jesse Littleton, Of
Chattanooga, who also has been the
nominee of his party for Governor,
and Judge Charles r. Evans.
The entry of Mr.. Taylor into the
fight recalls the race he made in
1885 against his brother, Robert L.
Taylor, "Our Bob" for governor.
Each was the nominee of his party,
and the joint debate which they
staged in the majority of the coun-
ties of Tennessee was a unique
event in state politics. So ffar as
political records show, this was the
only case in the history of the
United States in which brothers
were pitted against each other as
candidates of major parties for the
office of governor. Their debates
became known as the "War of the
Roses" Bob Taylor wearing
throughout the campaign a white
rose, while Aft ibis brother, always
wore a red rose in his buttonhole.

hates Remarkable Experience, Says
PurstOne Was Worth Mere to Him
Than All Money on Earth

No medicine has ever accomplished
such startling and msgic-like results
in Georgia as has Puratone during
the past few weeks.
J. E. HungerfOrd, superintendent
of the service department of the
Frigidaire Corp, and residing at 257
East North avenue, Atlanta, said:
"For nine years my stomach had
been giving me trouble. 1 had to
be very careful what I ate-in fact,

soup. Gas formed on my stomach
so bad it got as tight as a drum, and
/ would bloat and have awful smoth.

NO STRIKE FOR HER

Our daddy left his job today,
Up where the masons climb.
The men are out for higher pay
And shorter working time,
They've sworn to stick,
Nor lift brick
That comes from off truck,
But mother, patient mother, hasn't
struck.
Our sister Kate is home from her
Nice stenograpic place,
The striking typist girls concur
That wages need a brace.
She does not please
To pound the keys
For pay she doesn't like,
But mother in the kitchen doesn't
strike.
And Brother Bill has left his job
At motoring car.
He says the managerial job
Pushed tyranny too far.
No move he'll make
To turn a brake.
He thinks he's showing pluck,
But mother, weary mother, hasn't
struck.
And Uncle Bill, who up to date
Has been a dry goods clerk,
This morning at the hour of eight
Refused to go to work,
He said: otis wrong
To toll SO long
Where women shoppers hike"
But mother in the kitchen doesn't
strike.
Her working day has hours sixteen,
Outside the union ranks.
70 salary she's ever seen;
Her pays careless Thanks"
Yet night and day
She slaves away
Cor Ned and Wayne, and Mike,
And mother in the kitchen doesn't
strike.

ed.
The fact is, many readers turn
first to the advertising columns be-
fore going over the news columns.
A dealer may offer a bargain for
tomorrow only, and the reader will
often save money by reading the ads
as soon as the paper is received, for
these special bargains generally are
good for but one day.
The time has passed when the
readers of a newspaper do not ap-
preciate the advertising. But to
be real advertising the medium in
which it is printed must possess cir
culation. just handful of sub
scribers in one locality does not
give the advertiser publicity in this
day of good roads and fast automo-
biles when the buying public travels
a long distance to drive bargain.

LAYTON OPPOSITION GROWING.
The opposition TO Congressman lay
ton. who is seeking denomination is said
TO be an insidious one, in that what is
transpiring under the surface - not gen
erallv known The Townsend workers
have not forgotten the singing defeat
of the Governor last spring at the hand
of the Layton group, and they believe
that this is their opportunity TO even
matters up.
Rehoboth was the scene of an unusual
conference on Sunday last. Democrats
and Republicans met at one of the big
hotels and there was a free-ior-all dis
cussion of politics All sides and factions
were represented and the loshiug at times
became rather sarcastic and serious.
From out of the whole, It appeared as
though the former supporters OF Alfred
l. du Pont are hoping and believing
that after the primaries he will come for
ward and again take an active part IN
politics. If the organization slate suits
him, he will 60 along with 1T but if, as is
expected, the organization nominations
ercise his discretion as to whom he will
support.
CoNNELLY PETITION IRREGULAR.
Members of the Democratic County
Committee, at their meeting yesterday
afternoon, We're called upon TO consider
the petition of William NJ. Connolly, who
wants to run for the nomination for
Senator in the Second district. Mr.. Con-
nelly's petition, however, failed to contain
the promise TO support the successful
nominee at the primaries, such as all po-
litical seekers after office have to agree to.
Because he failed to make this pledge,
there were members of the county com
mittee who argued that he was not a
Democrat, or he would abide by the regli-
lations of the party. The result of the dis
cussion was that the committee directed
the secretary TO write Mr.. Connolly and
ask him to withdraw his petition.
In discussing the action, a member of
the committee said no matter what argu-
ment might be made against Mr.. Con-
nelly, and even though he had said he
would try to defeat the ticket, if his
petition had been made out regularly it
would have been accepted. Because he
failed to abide by the regulations there
was nothing else for the County Com
mIttee TO do.
The committee decided to meet each
Tueday afternoon, instead of Saturday,
as heretofore. The change was made
because Saturday is registration day.

was urged by National Chairman Hays in
a telegram sent today to several Repub-

lat re The message was framed after
consultation with Senator Harding
Present unrest is in large measure
due to the fact that so many vital ques-
tions are clamoring for simultaneous de-
cisions," the message said. ANY one Of
those questions definitely settled is big
contribution toward national stability.
The suffrage question IS one that can be
settled Immediately by the Tennessee
Legislature. 1t Is really not party ques-
ton.
''To hold American woman bound by
the result of an election, TO train them in
schools and colleges to think for them
selves as we'll as man, to accord them
freedom of utterances as a constitutional
right and then to attempt to deny them
the opportunity to stand up and be
counted on election day is a governmental
