Large and Enthusiastic Crowds Lis
tening to Speakers.

NASHVILLE, lSllu., OCI. - hC
large audiences which have heard
the Democratic candidates during
the first ten days of the 1922 cam
peign have given the speakers the
finest kind of encouragement and
generated enthusiasm which is bound
to be productive of smashing vic
tory, according to the view Of those
in charge of Democratic State Cam
paign Headquarters.
"The tramp of the Democratic
hosts of Tennessee, on their way to
the line of battle, can be plainly
heard all over. the State" asserts
Congressman Joseph w. Byrns,
Chairman Of the Campaign Commit
tee. "The crowds who have focked
to hear Austin Peay, Senator Ken
meth McKellar and all of the other
good Democrats who are sounding
the battle cry from Carter to Shelby
the applause which has been given
them as they have declared for the
Democratic principles so clearly set
forth in the opening speeches-indi-
cate that our party is thoroughly
aroused and determined to win this
election.
Senator McKellar, in West Ten
nessee, where he began his political
career which has eliminated in his
h wing been accorded the high honor
of representing Tennessee in the
United States Senate, has been STIR
ring his legion of friends with the
story Of failure which has been writ
ten by the Republican party in the
national and State governments.
"Austin Peay has invaded the sec
tion of the State where his opponent
expects to gather his greatest
strength, and to say that we are
pleased with the manner in which
the citizens of East Tennessee have
received his program for better gov
ernment Of the State, is putting it
mildly. Victory iG on the way but
the battle has many days yet to be
fought before the Democrats can lay
down their arms. But if I am any
judge of the temper of these Dem
ocratic sons and daughters of Tom
nessee, the battle is going to be won
decisivcly, and every State in the
Union will hear the tidings on the
morning of November Sth that Ten
nessee is back home in the Demo-
cratic column"
