DEMOCRATS HAVE
SWEPT THE STATE
AND PEAY WINS
Gov. Taylor Loses by 1900; Cordell
Hull Wins Over Clouse by
Over 5000.

The election yesterday proved a
crushing defeat for the republicans in
both state and nation, the defeat be-
ing almost equal to the one sustained
by the democrats two years ago.
Over the State.
Governor A. A. Taylor has been de-
feated by Austin Peay by from 10000
to $4,000 according to the Nashville
Banner while the Tennessean claims
Peay will win by close to 1900.
The majority of Senator Mcclellan
over Newell Sanders is variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000 and
some even place the sky as the limit
Cordell Hull has defeated Congress
man w. F. Clouse by 6,ooo or more is
the claim of the friends of Mr.. Hull.
While the majority for Mr.. Hull may
fall some short of the large claims
made for him it seems practically
sure that he will have a majority of
over 5000.
Senator G. w. Poague candidate for
the state senate in this ninth district
has lost to L. ID. Hill of White county
by from GOO to 1000 votes.
, No information came over the wires
here as to the race between w. N
Beasley and Porter Dunlap for Rail-
road and Public Utilities Commission
er as the race for governor and con-
gress in this district seemed to over
shadow it to such an extent that it
received scant notice. 1t is supposed,
however, that Mr.. Beasley went down
with the other candidates.
In this eleventh district Hon. E. c.
Norvell seems to have won over E.
G. Toilet, Jr., of .Bledsoes county by1I
around 100 votes. Latest advises stat-l
ed that Mr.. Norvel1 had carried his
own county Of Grundy by only 100
votes while Sequatchie county went
against him by US and there was
tie in Bledsoe county. No report was
received from Van Buren county, but
It is hardly considered possible that
he majority in Van Buren, county, can
carry Mr.. Toilet to victory
over the majority of more than 200 in
his county.
This County.
The vote in this county was very
light, shrinking more than IS percent
Is against two years ago. This shrink
lge was largely due to failure of vot-
RS to pay poll taxes. Three of the
heaviest republican precincts show
hrinkage of almost 50 percent from
wo years ago. 1t seems that no
lection was held at Genesis or Clfty.
Dhe vote in Crossville was rs percent X
ess than two years ago.
