The Defeat Of Gov, Roberts.

In Tennessee Is not surprising, says
the Jackson Sun. The fact that his
republican opponent has a majority OF
1000 and that Roberts has dropped
30. 900 votes behind Cox merely en-
phasizes one outstanding truth about
tho campaign--that the people are very
strongly opposed to the Roberts tax
measure.
All Taylor pitched his gubernatorial
campaign upon the one issue--that of
taxation--and he became a very dan
.gerous candidate from the outset.

That was an interesting Illustration

about the culture OF the American

In this regard, there Is far more econ

THE NEW LEGISLATURE.

Prospects for constructive legisla.
tion and administration In Tennessee,
for the next two years are not re.
assuring. The governor-elect IL a mem.
Der OF one political household while 3
majority Of the legislature IL afiiliated
with another. Experience suggests that
a situation Of this kind 10 not produc-
tive Of harmony and efficient team

from the administrations of Cows
Hawkins and Hooper. the only repub-
llcan governors previously elected since
reconstruction, although In each oi
these caaes there was q portion OF the
|'democratlc membership of the iegisla-
tuer disposed to cooperate with the
governor. The deadlock between q
democratic president and a republican
congress for the pant two years also
bears eloquent testimony to the same
conclusion.
Az one moro interested in progress
than stagnation. however. we trust that
n way may be found whereby a demo-
cratic legislature and q republican
governor can get along together and
between them work out a constructive
program for the solution of such prob
lens as win confront them. To that
end, we are hoping that the iegiAla-
ture will assume q less partisan atti-
tude toward the governor than has
characterized previous legislatures in
similar circumstances. Patient consid-
GRAFTON ought TO be given to the gov
ernor's recommendation and an honest
effort be made TO cooperate with him
In every reasonable way, Tho interests
Of the state. as well az those OF the
