Savannah. Ga., Sept. 24—The
nurses at the Park View Sanitarium,
ten In number, went on a strike to
day a noon in an effort to get Miss
Westcott, a head nurse whom they
do not like, discharged.
The trouble at the hospital has
been brewing for several days al

sisting of Dr. Lattimore, Dr. White
and Dr. Simmons, did not hear of It
until yesterday afternoon. The
nurses complained about the atti
tude of Miss Westcott, the head
nurse, toward them. They com
plained that the head nurse was tyr-
lnlcal and over-bearing and that she
had cut their liberties down until
they could stand It no longer. They
were made to attend five-lectures a
week where three bad odw been at
tended before. The nurses have not
been permitted to leave the hospital
after eight o’clock at night which
they consider a hardship.

He has Returned From a Pleasure
Trip to Indiana Where he Found
Democratic Hope. Running High—
He Saye That .Illinois and Other
Northorn States ars In Good Shape.
Congressman William G. Brantley
having Just returned from a several
weeks' trip in Indiana, believed by
many to be the real battling ground
in the present political carpalgn, was
asked as to the outlook for Demo
cratic success In November. He said:
‘‘My visit to Indiana was purely
for pleasure, having gone there with
my family, yet I had opportunity to
observe the political trend of things,
and can say that from my observa
tion there Is every reason to be hope
ful. Mr. Kern, It must not be mis
taken, Is very popular there, his
home state. The Demorracy Is rap
idly developing Its old time strength,
and I believe will carry the state for
Bryan and his ticket. In Ohio, the
Republicans are badly split and the
Foraker scandal can only contribute
to Democratic achievements. The
gubernatorial candidacy of Judson
Harmon Is also a strong factor and
his popularity must not be underes
timated. "
“We find tie same conditions prac
tically In Illinois, where Adlal B.
Stephenson, ♦ho Is the Idol of the

city officials are to be elected, but
the race has been characterized b$
very little interest. Jim Woodward,

is more than probable that Wood

second race may be necessary unless
Woodward gets more votes than his
opponents combined. The voting
