FIRST BALLOT
IN TENNESSEE:


Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 3.-- (By
Associated Press With women
voting in Tennessee elections for
the first time, democrats of the Z
state today will nominate candi-l
dates for United States senators,
representatives, governor and i
state officers. 81
Republicans also will nominate x
candidates for several state offirI
ces, including thar of senator and
governor. Chief interest Is cen-
tered in senatorial and guberna-
torial races. Senator Kenneth g
Mcclellan, incumbent. is being OPP
posed by Captain Gus T. Fitzhugh
and Noah M. Cooper, blue law
advocate, for senate.
The senatorial campaign has
been waged on two big issues
the bonus ant labor-non-
partisan questionable. Mcclellan,
favoring the bonus and said to
have the support of organized la
Dor, has been criticized by Fitz-
hugh with "Newberryism," de-
claring his campaign expenses
1 have ben excessive,
Cooper declares he Is running
against no one but Satan and
iMammon." He also has attacked
| his opponents because of their al
! legged large expenditures, and the
fact that they have declined to
publish statement of the money
spent In their campaigns.
The gubernatorial race is four
cornered affair between former
Governor Benton McMillin, AUS
tin Peay, General Harvey H. Ham
ma and L. e. Gwynn. e
Governor ALI A. Taylor, incum-
bent, is unopposed for the repub-
lican nomination for governor.
Republican candidates for the sem
atorial nomination are former
Senator Newell Sanders Of Chatta-
! nooga; Thomas +. Peck, present
| commissioner OF agriculture; H.
B. Anderson and John w. Farley,
: the latter two of Memphis.

TELL STORY OF JESUS,
NOT SANTA CLAUS, IS
PLEA OF REV, BACKUS

Rev; A. n. Baekus, pastor of the
local Grace Methodist church, created
unusual interest in his Sunday morn
Ing sermon under the caption, ''De-
ChristianiZing Christmas. His text
was from John 1856, ''w1l He Not
Come Up to the Feast?" In part,
Mr.. Backus said:
Christmas and Christ should ever
be united in holy wedIock. Christmas
should be an eyer-increasing pag
eantry in honor of Jesus Christ, the
King, eternal, immortal, invisiblei
Frequently such is not the case
OFTEN the occasion is Celebrated In
such a manner as to lose sight of him
whose birthday it is.
For this reason the Puritans re-
fused to observe Christmas because Of
the wicked mirth and reyelry.
What is the matter with Christ
mas? Why do fathersa and mothers

holidays? Why the Thank goodness,
it's over" expression on so many
faces between Christmas and New
Years day.

perieaced the embarrassment of the
unexpected gift from the casual
friend
The crying sin of Christmas is
waste. We give people what they
do not need and do not want, while
little children suffer for the bare ne
cessities of life about US.

mas by substituting Santa Claus for
Christ. Instead of teaching the chill
dren the story of the Christ child,
we tell them of gnonie or elf who
comes down the chimney with gifts.
Too many German-made post cards
and toys are on the market These
cards are decorated with holly, or mis-
tletoe, with some Christmas greeting,
but they fail to bear the name of
Christ, of a note of the angels song.
use Christmas post cards with
Christ on them if you use any at all.
Let US make Christ prominent in our
Christmas celebration. Rehearse the
love story of Jesus. 1t never grows
old. Act as if you were glad that
