that Alfred A. Taylor would enter
the Republican primary for the
nomination for governor.

dotage," they declared. He'll find
out soon enough where he stands
with the voters" And he did. He
took along his old fiddle just as he
did when he and his brother Bob had
started out thirty-six years ago. He
was accompanied by his three sons
and a nephew who were to do most
Of the singing. He drew large crowds
from the start. Uncle ALI fairly
swept the State and no sooner had
the primary votes been counted than
he. started out again on q speaking
tour.

UNCLE ALT, At
"A, RUNS.AGA|N
FOR GOVERNOR
Man Who Put Tennessee in
G. o. p. Column Believed
Certain of Reelection.
BY X. II. CANNON,
Universal Service.

KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Nov. e.
Gov. Alf. Taylor is seeking re-elec-
tion at the election tomorrow. Uncle
All, or Ole Timber, as he Is some
times called. was seventy.four years
old in September, but despite his
years, he thrives on politics.
Opposing Ole Timber Is the Demo
cratic nominee, Austin E. Payea,
gifted as a speaker and armed with
a constructive program that would
promise well for the State-if he
could only be elected and given a
chance to put 1t into play.
Ordinarily a Democratic candidate
would be about q 10-to-1 favorite In
Tennessee, but with Uncle ALI run
ming, it's different. Two years ago
Uncle ALI won over a Democratic
nominee by no less than 43,50O ma
jority, overcoming the nofsnal Demo
cratic majority Of 10000, and sweep
ing into the winning column. for the
first time since civil war days, the
Republican Presidential electors by
some $4,000 majority. The Repub-
licans also captured three Congress
men In districts which ordinarily
send Democrats to Washington.
SO II is that in addition to unusual
efforts on the part of the Democrats
to regain these districts, which in.
clude the district which Cordell Hull
represented for so many years, they
are also seeking to elect a Demo
cratic governor. 1t is conceded that
the Democrats have better than an
even chance In at least two of the
three lost districts, due to nice bit
of gerrymandering done since the
turnover.
Two years ago last summer Repub.
lican politicians and Tennesseans
generally were much surprised when
