WOMEN URGED 10 QUALIFY

Representative Lon A. Scott, Of the
Eighth Tennessee district. now serv-
ing his first tern in the House, is
credited with being on the brink Of
announcing himself as a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
United States senator He recently
admitted that he may have something
to say in a few days on this subject.
If Mr. Scott announces, the western
end Of the state viii have two Repub-
Hcan candidates for the Senate, Grant
Mathis, formerly chief clerk of the
federal court at Memphis, being the
other.
Newell Sanders, Of Chattanooga,
who served out the unexpired term
of the late Senator Bob Taylor, is
also understood to be a willing Bar
kis, but he is hesitating about tossing
his hat in the ring. C. S. Houston,
assistant secretary of commerce, an
other Chattanooga, has been dis
cussed as a possible starter, but as
he is about to leave Washington on
a world tour, the inference is that his
senatorial ambition, if he ever had
any, has been snuffed.
The Republican friends Of Repre-
sentative Scott have been urging him
for some time to take crack at the
senatorial nomination, and some have
even gone so far as to venture the
opinion that the Republicans might
surprise the country next November
by electing their candidate for the
Senate. Whether this opinion has
any foundation or not, the Democrats
of Tennessee had better look to their
poll taxes, especially the Democratic
women voters, for the Republicans
are paying special attention to this
necessary preliminary voting qualifi-
cation
Information received at Democratic
headquarters in Washington is that
the Republican women voters in every
district in Tennessee
are beinp armed with Doll tax re-
ceipts. This is a sinister warning to
Democrats.
