CONTEST IN FIRST TENNESSEE AND DEVELOPMENTS: Considerable attention was. attract? ed recently to the contest for the'Re- publican nomination for Congresr to the first Tennessee district a letter from President Hoover wju made public endorsing Representative Carroll Reece for It' is rare that a President of the Uhitea States takes a hand between candidates of his party, and it was so dis-. tfnctly out of keeping with Mr. Hoover's attitude hitherto that the public sat up and took notice. As a member of Congress-Mr.

Reece had been, active in opposing the house adoption, of the senate Norris bill for the government operation of Muscle in fact Reece is credited with pre-' venting a compromise in conferencel committee. Citizens of Ten-j nessee district are much interested tn' power development and very much' desire that the government fix a icy that will get results at Shoals. I With, that situation Judge Sam W. Price took the field as a candidate the Republican nominntion in thr Tennessee, the chief Recce's attitude toward the Shoals development Evidently ReeceI was being pressed hard when the President was induced to go to his rescue. The President wrote Reece ia approval of his attitude on the Norris bill and declared that his position represented the policy of the administration.

That diverted the issue from water power development to (test of support of the President, and. naturally loyal may not have bee nwith on Muscle Shoals affair, would hesitate to virtually vote against the President, give him "a-slap in the face," as It would be bailed; although ha may have deserved that for interfering local contest. As a result Reece won in the primary, but his opponent, Judge Price, is declaring that votes for Reece "were bought with an' inexhaustible supply of money" and under the circumstances, Judge Price further saying, he does not consider himself bound by the as-- serts that "the method and manner of holding the "primary was unfair,) fraudulent, corrupt and violative of the first principles of the Republican; party and of common that election officials were "controlled by. my opponents" and that "outside interests furnished funds for my opponents." it would appear there has been a hot time in the first Tennessee. It difficult to gueik Judge as to the source of the "inexhaustible supply of money" which he alleges was used to buy Recce's nomination.

If the judge and any considerable number of hit friends remain that way, if it isn't simply tho anger of a'defeated candidate who will yield to the call for all good men to come to tho support of thn party, Reece may have a nomination which will not insure election. But if an "inexhaustible supply of money" was found to finance his campaign for the nomination it is certain that the supply will not be exhausted in the November election.
