. FORMER GOVERNOR
TENNESSEE STATE
DIED WEDNESDAY
JOHNSON CITY, Term., Nov. 27.
(/P)_ Former Governor Alfred A.
Taylor, 83 years of age, died here
Wednesday from uremic poisoning.
For years he had been one of the
most colorful figures in the politi
cal history of Tennessee.
Governor Taylor was born in Car- j
ter County, Tennessee, August 6,'
1848, the son of Nathaniel Green
Taylor and Emma Haynes Taylor.
The father was of pioneer stock
and, like his two sons, had repre
sented his district in Congress.
Alf was educated at Edge Hill
School, Princeton, N. J., Penning
ton, N. Seminary and Kelsey
School, Clinton, N. Y. He was ad
netted to the Tennessee bar in
1870 and was a member of the
Tennessee House of Representa
tives in 1875-76. On June 22, 1881,
he married Miss Jennie Anderson
of Buffalo Valley, Tenn.
The former governor traveled j
extensively for many years as a
chautauqut and lyceum lecturer.
After his retirement he lived a se
rene life at the old home at Happy
Valley in the hill section of eastern
Tennessee, occasionally participat
ing in his beloved fox-hunting.
Among the few Republicans to j
be elected governor of that State, |
he did not attain the office until
34 years after the famous “brother
4 vs. brother” contest, 1886, in which
he opposed his brother, the late
United States Senator Robert L.
Taylor.
That contest for the governorship
of Tennessee, w’hich came to be
called “The War of Roses,” held the
\ attention of the country through
out the campaign.
1 The two brothers campaigned to
l gether. Alf, as he was familiarly!
known throughout his life, was the
Republican candidate and during
the campaign wore a red rose in
the lapel of his coat. Robert, the
Democratic candidate, countered
by wearing a white rose.

ing in orderly fashion with four
abreast, some 2,500 Communists
paraded in front of the City Hall

of Communists ever to have gath

fervor they brandished signs at a
group of 300 police who stood near
by to see that they did not mis
behave. A crowd of curious on

occurred.

STRENGTHENS TEETH
LOETSCHIENTAL, Switzerland,
Nov. 27. (/P)— The population of
this valley town in the central Alps
has the best teeth in Switzerland
and medical authorities say it

bread bit by bit, strengthening
their teeth from childhood.
