Campaign for' the Guberna- B
torlal Nomination Closed
Last Night
FIVE DEMOCRATS ARE N
NOW IN THE RACE
The Successful Candidate Will Ls
Have Advantage Over
Two Years Ago.
Special to ihe Daily News.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 1.?Tbe O
campaign for the Democratic guber- B
natorlal nomination closed last night tt<
in a whirlwind finish and today the R
primary is being held throughout the d<
state. Five Democrats aspire to head 01
the party ticket this year in opposition
to the re-election for Governor R
Ben W. Hooper, tbe first Republican ct
governor Tennessee has bad in thirty hi
years. c?
The candidates for the nomination cc
for governor are former governor is
Benton McMtlno, of Nashville, W. R. m
Crabtree, of Chattanooga. Attorney 8<
General W. S. Faulkner, of Lebanon, vc
T. R. Preston, of Chattanooga, and su
Thomas J Tyne. one of tbe leading 111
young members of the Nashville bar. si<
The Democratic candidate who is fo
successful in today's primary is ex- Cc
pected to have a great advantage
over conditions two years ago. when to
the late Robert L. Taylor went down w<
to defeat before the alliance of in- wl
dependent Democrats and - Republicans,
with Hooper as the standard ca
bearer. At that time tbe election tk
macnmery 01 me state was in toe of
bands of the enemy of the regular ch
organized Democracy. In ninety of tic
Lfee-countietf of tllfe State tbe Demo- oc
era tic nominee, Senator Taylor, did
not receive a single election officer, fri
This year there is one regular Demo- ur
crat on the State Election Board and th>
& second., an independent, who fav- tb<
ors harmonizing the factions of the th<
Jott^ant party, so that the single Mi
Republican left cannot do for Gover- tio
nor Hooper what was done for him foi
two years ago. when the tide was ry
against Democracy.
The fly In the Democratic ointment go
la to he found in tbe senatorial can- ed
didacy of former Governor Malcom hit
R. Patterson, "the stormy petrel of in
Democratic politics." On account of th<
the prominence that Gov. Patterson tw
bad In connection with tbe'Carmack- lai
Cooper case and the defeat of local ia<
option so strongly urged by him, if
there were many Democrats who did tic
not think it in the best Interests of ini
party harmony for him to get Into
politics so early again. But as the m<
senatorial primary is to te a separate mj
affair, to be held at the time of the cat
regular election in November the hope
is expressed by leading Democrats i
that the contests for governor and |jJ
senator may be kept separate.
Governor Hooper still has his fav
orite prohibition plank with which
to go before the divided Democrats.
His party played this feature strong
in the State convention that renom- sti
inated Governor Hooper last spring w<
As Tennessee is said to be naturally he
a Prohibition State, the followers of in
Hooper are hopeful that their favo- be
rite will win again no matter who is t <
selected today as the Democratic ne
standard bearer. bc

OYSTER BAY. N. Y., Aug. 1?
ne bullet reached the hide of the
ull Moose yesterday, when a delegaon
of negroes called upon Col.
oosevelt at his New York office and
vmanded to know bow he stood upi
the race question.
In his recent campaigning, Mr.
oosevelt made several speeches in
lurches of colored congregations. In
s primary fight against Taft it is
rtain he received a large part of the
>lored vote in the North. Now be
face to face with the iseue. To
ake a success of bis party in the

>te. On the other hand In states
ch as Maryland. Pennsylvania and
ilnois the colored vote cuts a conlerable
figure, and the Roosevelt
llowers are wondering Just how the
ilonel will get around the question.
When questioned upon this subject
day, he said that he probably
>uld have a statement forthcoming
thin a few days.
Id N?w York b? consulted with bis
mpalgn managers and tt was pracally
decided Ibat John M. Parker
New Orleans will be temporary

Mr. Parke/ la a lifelong Delarat.
Mr. Roosevelt said:
"I have received many letters from

e South be given an equal part in

Mr. Roosevelt will start for Cbicaon
