A Lexington special last week to
the Nashville American says:
"The Republican executive com
mifteeof the Eighth Congressional
District met in Lexington to-day,
with every couuty represented. The
committee called a Congressiona
convention to meet at Lexington on
April 18 to select two delegates anc
two alternates to the national lie
publican convention. The
committee also adopted resolutions
endorsing Hon. John E. McCall for
delegate at large for West Tennes
see to the national convention, and
recommended him to all the other
counties of the State by a unani
mous vote. This unanimous action
of the committee is "considered by
Mr. McCall's friends as a complete
knockout for Mr. Jeffreys' aspira
tions, since both men reside in the
Eighth Congressional District, as
showing the sentiment in the sev
eral counties."
