great deal more talk is heard on this
subject than about the election of dele
gates TO the national convention. This
is an unusual proceeding, but the adj
vance guard to the convention has ac-
cepted the proposal AS n good one, and
hence there seems to be a unanimity
OF opinion in favor of the idea. The
delegates have been coming in all dur
ing the forenoon, and each at once be-
gins to inform himself on the situa-
tlon and the matter of recommending a
candidate for governor is about the
first question he asks.
Col. Arch Hughes. long councillor
IN the republican party OF Tennessee, is
here az delegate from Maury county.
and he is primarily set on securing the
recommendation OF the convention for
Jesse M. littleton as the candidate for
governor. He comes with the news
that X. S. Hopkins will not be a candi-
cate for the recommendation, but that
he Is strong Littleton man. Col.
hughes states that Mr.. Hopkins told
him to tell Jesse Littleton this as soon
as he arrived. Mr.. Hopkins is coming
later on for the convention.
Col. Hughes Is unlike many party
men, both democrats and republicans.
in that he does not deny that he is
politician. that he loves the game. and
states that he will continue In II until
he Is called away TO the other cline.
The colonel says that he IL just now
engaged in the phosphate business In
Mount Pleasant, the phosphate section
of Maury county. and that he expects
to become millionaire. a state or con-
hitlon he has long desired.
The colonel has shaved off those old
burnsides he used to wear, saving they
turned too white. but he still hangs
on to his mustache, even though 1t is
as white as the driven snow.
Hon. Sam Sells received a telegram
Monday from +. T. Campbell. Of wash
'ngton, stating that he was leaving the
capital for Chattanooga In acceptance
to an invitation TO come here and make
speech. Mr.. Sells says Mr. Campbell
is one Of the most eloquent speakers
II the party.
It is not known whether Gov. Hard
ing will come or not. but he was
among those invited.
Gov. Morrow. of Kentucky. and VIII
Hays. chairman Of the national COM
mittee, are expected. though nothing
has been heard from either lately as
to their intention.
DR. Il. Q. Lillard. of Lebanon. a
strong Wood man, is here. Hts county
was among the first to Instruct for
Wood, and he believes there IN no doubt
but that the state convention VIII send
