Turley Wins Senate Nomination After Deadlock in Tennessee
In a joint convention the Tennessee legislature elected United States Senator Thomas B. Turley as the Democratic nominee, with Republicans backing J. S. Baker. Turley secured 46 votes to 43 for McMillin and 0 for Taylor, after Taylor’s supporters shifted to Turley to break the deadlock that followed weeks of jockeying among the three candidates. Governor Taylor urged support for Turley, and McMillin conceded once Turley led on the roll call.
