Prohibi tion, Muscles Shoals, the soldiers' bonus, the congressional farm bloc, the Ku Klux Klan, and the attitude, of candidates touching oragnized labor, are figuring In the political campaigns in several southern states. Democrats axe endeavoring to bring Tennessee back to the formerly "solid south." Both parties it) Tennessee are preparing for the first -national and gubernatorial contest since the state broke away two years ago from the democratic "solid south' by voting for President arding, electing a republican gov ernor and dividing its congress ional seats equally between the two major parties. The primaries August 3 followed one of the hard est fought Tennessee campaigns of recent years. United States Sena tor Kenneth D. McKellar, who was renominated by the democrats, based his campaign upon his sen atorial record, his support of the Wilson administration, and his ad- vocacy of .the soldiers' bonus. He was understood to have the sup port of organized labor, and was definitely endorsed by several la bor organisations. His nearest op ponent, Capt Gu T. Fitzhugh, as sailed Senator McKellar's record and his position on the bonus. - Cordell Hull, democratic nation al chairman, was nominated- for the sea in the House of Reprs senatives which the .. republicans won from him in 1920. Finis J. Garrett, minority leader in the tHouse, was renominated by the democrats. Austin Peay was chosen as the democratic opponent of Governor "Alf" Taylor, republican, who was unopposed for renomination. , , Former Governor Westmoreland Davis defeated for the democratic senatorial nomination in Virginia by the incumbent Senator Swan son; had announced his intention of affiliating with the farm bloc if elected. He had also announced he did not care for the Support of the Atni-Saloon League in Virginia. Senator Swanson stood on his rec ord. The contest was one of the hardest fought the state has seen in years. Senator ark Trammell has been renominated by the Florida Demo : crats. TRtjtax question has predomi nated among the' state issues, par ticularly in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina. The Ku Klux Klan was made an issue of the democratic primary campaign in some sections of Arkansas,1 and the ticket sanc tioned by the Klahsmen led in Pulaski county and in Little Rock, Its county seat, at the primary August 8. ' Neither of the guberna torial candidates tooks sides in this controversy, but Governor T. C. McRae, whose nomination Aug ust 8 was regarded as equivalent to election, was understood to have been endorsed by Klan supporters. He made his fight on his record and on a platform of rigid en forcement of laws touching Sab bath observance and prohibition. He was endorsed by a number of union labor, leaders. The Muscles Shoals project cropped up as an issue in the last days of what observer had termed an unusually listless primary cam paign in Alabama. It figured in the contest for associate members of the public service commission, when Governor Kilby, three . days before the primary, charged that Commissioners Cooper- ? and - Gail lard, the incumbents, were receiv ing the active support of a cor poration controlling the utilities in several Alabama cities. , They charged, in reply that the gover nor himself was a friend of the corporation and an opponent of Henry Ford's offer for the Muscle Shoals project, for which the. com pany had made a bid. i : , Mrs. W.

(By Associated Press) Jackson, Cay., Sept. 19. Jack son mining town, the mother-lode country, has paid the toll demand ed of those who delve into the earth for gold and stands unafraid but not dry-eyed , today. v Forty seven of he? men died in the Argonaut mines early on the morning of August .28, she learned last night, and today she awaits the bringing of the bodies from the tunnel tbat has been the tomb of these miners for three weeks. But Jackson is unafraid for her men showed they knew how to die. Moreover to those who did not meet that fate, they showed they knew how to live for they gave themselves without stint in their efforts to save their fellow work ers. , This was California's worst mine disaster in one of California's greatest gold producing districts and it was the hardest blow she has had to suffer. A note on one of the bodies indi cated that all the men had died within five hours of the beginning of the fire August 27, officials said. All the miners were found be hind the second of two bulkheads they had built in a cross cut 4,360 feet, down in the mine. Byron O. Pickard, chief of the federal bureau of mines for this district, was the first man to go behind the bulk head and discovered the bodies. -. Pickard,, on an earlier explora tion behind the bulkhead - had counted 42 bodies and expressed the belief that there were others there. The note. found read as follows: "3 a. m., gas bad," : The same note, bore a scrawl fig ure "4" apparently Indicating the same man had attempted to leave word -for those who might come after, of the condition of the mine at the hour. Mine officials declared that the condition of the cross-cut behind the bulkhead was such that life could not have been sustained there by the entombed men for more than five hours. The bodies were piled one on top of another, and decomposition had progressed so far that identifica tion would be impossible, Pickard reported. - Sixteen of the entrapped miners removed their clothing to provide material for stuffing the cracks in the wooden barrier, hastily con structed, which was found early this evening. Then another barrier was built of rock, earth and debris. How ever, the gas fumes from the fire apparently seeped through the first bulkhead and the men fled from the site whefe they were building the second one to start third, far ther on. The third attempt to wall off the death dealing gas was made at the end of the 4,360 foot cross ,cut in the Argonaut, but-the fact that only a bare start was made at it proved, the mine officials said," that the deadly carbon monoids and the suffocating carbon dioxide . had reached it and performed their fatal office before the 47 unfortu nates could raise even an excuse for a barrier. Mine officials said that death had come to the entombed men pain lessly. The gasers ,they said, would produce first a lethargy, then coma and finally death. . Jackson as a whole took, the tragic news calmly and courage ously. The general topic of con versation, except in the immediate family circles of the dead, was ar rangements for the funeral, which it was believed would be a joint affair. , , WOMAN CHOPS CHURCH ORGAN TO PIECES AND BURNS THE REMNANTS - (By Associated Press) Henderson, Ky.
