 Governor A A. Taylor, running for reelection on the republican ticket, and former Senator Newell Sanders. republican senatorial nominee. are heading the orators of the party in power. They are praising the ad- ministrations of President Harding and Governor Taylor and asking the voters for indorsement.
 United States Senator K. D. Mc- Keilar, renominated by the demo- crats. Austin Peay, candidate for governor, Cordel1 Hull. chairman of the national democratic executive committee, seeking. his old seat in the Fourth district, which hc lost in the landslide of 1920. and Finnis Garrett. candidate for reelection in the Ninth district and minority leader in the lower house of Congress, are members of the vanguard of the democratic party in the onslaughts which they have launched against the national add state administrations or the republfcans.
 Tariff Discussed
 The Tennessee voters are nearing the tariff alternately praised and condemned, the acts of Congress, especially on taxation, given the same treatment, and each party blaming the other for many other things.
 The democratic orators hold the republicans responsible for the dis continuance of the flush" period that followed the war, while the republicans tell the voters that the last democratic administration was responsible.
 The recent railroad and coal miners strikes have come in for at tention in some sections of the south, Attorney Genersl Daugherty being criticised especially by some of the labor leaders for the Chicago in- junction against the striking shop craft leaders. Republican leaders discount this charge and say that democratic governors in several of the states ordered out troops dur ing the railroad shopmen's strike.
 Administration Is Issue
 The Harding administration is the leading issue in the Seventh and Ninth Virginia Congressional dis tricts, which probably are the second battle grounds of the south. c. Bas- comb Clemp, who has represented the Ninth Virginia district for some years, would not seek another term and the democrats think his retire ment Is the opportune time for them 10. capture his seat. They have put forward George .. Peery, while the republicans have nominated J. H. " Thomas W. Harrison and John Paul are engaged in an equally hot con test The tariff and revenue legis- lation play an important part in the tacking the official record of the situation.
 The republicans also are stressing the Harding administration in the Seventh Alabama district, and the Eighth, Ninth Snd Tenth North Car olina districts, which they are at tempting to take from the democrats The latter are just as vigorously at President.
 Republicans are putting forward candidates in a majority of the Con- gressional districts of the south, but are centering their attention on the socalled doubtful" districts In vir- ginia. North Carolina. Alabama and Tennessee. The First and Second Tennessee districts still are strongly republican; so much so in fact that democrats consider 1t waste or time to campaign them.
 United State Senators are to De elected in Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Georga, and Mississippi, and Governors in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. in addition to Tennes- see, little interest Is manifested Tn these races. for the democratic nrimaries. already held, were con sidered equivalent to election.
