in line with Democratic sentiment.
Much of the opposition to him that
is pronounced comes from blund-
ers he has made in appointments.
1t is pretty generally known
that Ex-Governor Malcolm r. Pat
terson is thinking of getting into
the 6ght. He has been travelling
over the State good deal lately,
lecturing on prohibition. Many of
his old supporters frankly do not
want him to run.
If he should not run, the field
would would be between Captain
Fitzbugh and Senator Mcclellan
Both of them come from Memphis
This would make no difference
since Middle Tennessee has nc
candidate and East Tennessee has
Senator Shields. That means that
judge Bachman, who halls from
EastTennessee, must run for Gov.
ernor, if he runs for anything.

GIBBS ON IRELAND.

One OF the anomalies in the Irish
situation In this country is that Sir
Philip Gibbs should have been as
sailed by a crowd Of pro-Irish enthus-
lasts In his recent appearance at Car
hcgie Hall. New York. Sir Philip
Is generally considered a good friend
OF Ireland. He has been outspoken,
as have G.. X. Chesterton, Conan Doyle
and numerous other British writer's.
In condemnation of the present Brit
ish policy toward Ireland. He said.
after the attempt to break up his
meeting;
II think these Irish sympathizers
are after me- as you say, not because
'ot my views on the Irish question, but
simply because 1 am English. / feel
that many Americans do not under
stand now strong a sentiment there is
IN England for giving Ireland some

ireland never will be granted re-
public. There Is an ingrained pride
~ the English that will never permit
them tO consent to that. But the
government will come off it's high
rule sooner or later. And Ireland
will. in my opinion, accept it,"
This view probably accords with
that of the majority Of Americans. Be-
cause 1t lies between complete British
domination and complete Irish inde-
psndence. 1t is naturally assailed by
the extremists OF both sides. But be-
cause 1t Is sane and practical, it is
rapidly winning its way among the
Engfixh. and may eventually win
likswise with the Irish. In any event,
disinterssted observers are likely TO
consider It the logical ana obvious
step to take next. for both sides. II
after a fair tria, it proves unaccept-
able to Ireland. the attainment of
full independence will not be made
any harder BY the fact that Ireland
has already gone half way to the
goal.

The entire matter is held in sus-
pense by the inability of the officers
of the company to raise the few
thousand dollars either by COLLECTING
