bis candidacy as the Democratic nom
ine for (Jovirnnr of Tfnnsi. fur
nishing a senatlonal climax to a luinj
and hitler preliminary campaign.
The Governor already has served two
terms and nnnounced his candidacy for
a third irm. In compliance with the
wishes of the Hate committee, which
declared htm the Democratic nominee
without opposition. The upponcnts of
the Govfrnor declined to enter a pri
mary, preferring to nil. mil the lsue
to a convention, and the governor, to
arold the threatened epllt. withdrew :n
the Interest of harmony.
Offer of Test Kefuei.
In a signed statement the Governor
says:
I became a candidate for GnvrrmT
for the third term contrary to my per
sonal wishes. renditions have arl-en.
however, which appear to m.ikc my
further cand'dncy an Injustice both to
my friends and the Democratic pnrtv.
"When the opposition to me assumed
the shape of a refusal to enter a pri
mary called by the e'atc exei-iitlve
committee. I proposed that If any gen
tleman would offer to run against me
to allow him .to aelect his own methtd
and time of nomination, with an equal
division of officers of election. There
was not. and could not he. the sllctest
eseuse to refuse this. If the party was
to preserve its organization and not
disintegrate into schVms and factions:
but the proposition was rejected. I
was declared the nominee for Governor
without opposition, arid since them I
have offered to yield mv nomination
ao as to test whether it wns the choice
of the majority.
Nomination I ltd n mod.
"Put to the minds of my umrenerous
opponents all things were fair as means
to the end of my political destruction.
Kven then I did not believe that any
considerable number of Democrats
could be betrayed from their allegiance,
but now It seems certain that the con
tinued appeals to passion and credulity
have found a lodgement which neither
fact nor persuasion can chanite. and
that so Ionic as I remain a candidate, a
considerable numher of Democrats will
not affiliate with the pnrtv. and while
not large comparatively it la cnouaclt
lo Unperil lexnocratle success In No-
ember. I do not wish It said that my
desire for office Is responsible .for this
condition, or aa furnishing an excuse
to Indorse a Republican candidate by
the so-called Independent Iemocratic
campaign toon to be held In Nashville.
"My conclusion Is that I can best
serve my party and state In this emer
gency by voluntarily oolng what my
enemies have so persistently demand. d.
I therefore return my nomination to
he Democratic party."

money for the purchase-of mining stock

to be worthless. She said that Griffith
had promised to marry her as soon ab
she was able to obtain a divorce from
Dr. Krauss, but that ultimately he re
fused to do so or make any return of
the money she had advanced.
Today she went to the broker's office
In the Storey building. She carried a
small bulldog revolver Inside of the
lapel of tho coat of her tailor-made
suit. When ahe again demanded the re
turn of her money. Griffith slapped her,
she said. 8he then drew her revolver
and fired at him.
"I am a good shot, and I didn't aim
to kill him." said Mrs. Krauss. "It was
the first time I ever shot at a man. but
I only tried to shoot him through the
arm."
Griffith asserts that Mrs. Krauss came
to him and represented herself aa a

that she was married he broke off their
engagement. He denied that he had

patible and she had left him with the
understanding that she was to be al
lowed to obtain a divorce. This di
