FOR tH. TAFT
He Must Be a Reactionary and
Run Smoothly in Presi
dential Harness.
*
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
Washington. May 4.
WANTED —A widely known and
popular reactionary Republican.
t irn in the United States at least*
35 years ago, who can speak like
Daniel Webster, work like a horse
and fight like a wildcat, to take
presidential nomination. APPLY
QUICK to
Penrose. Root, Crane & Smoot.
Washington, D. C.
Anybody who can answer the fore
going and qualify can have the job. If
nobody applies the present incumbent
will .hold over. Just now, being weary
from an unavailing assault on Massa
chusetts, the said incumbent, Mr. Wil
.liam H. Taft, has gone to Georgia to re
cuperate.
While he is gone is a good time to
apply, for there is real, honest, serious
consideration of asking him to with
draw from the race, and only the fact
That there is no other dark horse in the
paddock saves his managers the em
barrassing necessity of doing so.
Primaries Taft's Doom.
Direct primaries have done for Mr.
Taft. His managers were bullied into
accepting them by Roosevelt. They
fought them in Massachusetts, Illinois,
Maryland and Michigan for a long
time.
Then suddenly, convinced that Roose
velt had no real strength, they changed
their tactics and invited and invited
them. Now they know that direct pri
maries furnish the people with means
of voting not only FOR a man, but
AGAINST him
Not enough people voted for Roose
velt in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania or
Illinois to help him much. But a suf
ficient number voted against Mr. Taft
to put that gentleman in a very deep
hole.
The Taft people are still hopeful, or
were this afternoon. They say that
with 123 more delegates they have got
Taft nominated. They say that with
their own delegate estimate before
them. But that estimate is based on a
loyalty in the South that does not ex
ist. Furthermore, it. is based on a bet
that the national committee will seat
only Taft delegates in case of con
tests'.
Afraid of Steam Roller.
But the national committeemen have
had their ears as close to the ground as
anybody else during the last few weeks,
and they are going to take no chances
in'starting a steam roller that may run
over their own ambitions before they
can stop it.
As soon as Mr. Taft returns to Wash
ington a grave and earnest conference
will be held at the white house. It has
been learned that the actual facts, as
they present themselves to his man
agers, will be presented to him, in plain
language.
He, will be told that, while he still has
a'chance at the nomination, provided
he can hold the South and keep the na
tional committee in line, even this
seems to indicate that he will have
very little chance at the polls.
New Man Not Yet Found.
He will be asked if he still wants to
stay in the game. If he does, he will be
permitted to —provided the bosses be
hind him can’t find somebody else. If
he says he is sick of the whole busi
ness and wants to get out, his aid will
be solicited in finding a substitute.
Then there will be quick work. The
new man will be boosted in every ad
ministration newspaper, thousands of
letters to political leaders will be writ
ten instructing them to throw Taft
delegates to him, the president himself
will make a public Statement, bespeak
ing the support of his friends for the
understudy.
But the new man has not yet been
found. You can take your pick among
any of the following: Borah, Fairbanks,
Nagel. Knox, Hughes—all reactionaries
or near reactionaries. And if you don’t
like any of these you can suggest some
body.

Big Social Event

The crowning of the queen of the re

the reunion This will occur on Wed
nesday afternoon on Coleman’s hill,
the beautiful eminence which overlooks

veniently gather. The queen will be

ASTRONOMER SAYS
SUN SPOTS AFFORD
WEATHER forecast
SAN JfiSi:, CAL.. May 4. Father Pi
card er the Santa Clara college observa
tory 'is ued the following statement:
"The eventful solar group of spots has
reappeared, according to expectation It
stands now near the eastern limb in lati
tude p, degree: south and longitude 65
degrees from central.
"All the weather disturbances based
upon it since March 6 have been veri
fied to the very date, and we venture to
sketch the weather of May as follows;
“There will he disturbances on the
coast from May 3 to 6, from May 6 to
11. from May 14 to 17 and from May 22
to _6. Tile first two already have been
announced privately.
“According to advices received fre-n
W T. It.", of Washington, and from
Prof Nodson, of France, a great solar
manifestation will occur, on which the
weather of June could be delineated
even now Hence it appears to he a
mistake on the part of certain writers
to sav boldly that nothing is known as
to the cause of sun spots, they.are due
simply to planetary influence at the
t me of heliocentrir conjunctions, appo
siuon.s and ey.-n quadratures."

Death of Baltimore Millionaire
Reveals That He Made Good
Threat to His Son.
BALTIMORE. May 3.—When the will
of the late Ross R. Winans, of this city,
was read it was found that he had
made good his threat to cut oft hia
son. Thomas R. Winans, who married
Maria Delgado, a Spanish dancing girl.
In his will, disposing of an estate of
$4,000,000, Thomas Winans is left only
$200,000. An attempt to break the doc
ument will probably be made by young
Winans.
Maria Delgado, the actress-wife, is
the daughter of a Spanish innkeeper.
When a child, she, with her sister, Ani
ta, waited on the table.
His Father Infuriated.
Young Winans visited the inn one
day and was struck by her remark
able beauty. He made ardent .love to
the girl, who later became an actress
at one of the minor theaters, and won
her hand in a whirlwind courtship. His
father was infuriated -when he learned
of the marriage, and the young bride
groom, with the. paternal purse strings
out of his reach, was left alone In
Europe with a beautiful young wife
and nothing else worth speaJdng of.
His father relented when he learned
his son was living in poverty, and
furnished him with funds to return to
America. But. to the end, he refused to
forgive.
The will contained another surprise
in the failure of the ccentric million
aire to leave a penny to his son-in
law, Prince Deßearn, or to the two
Deßearn children. Gaston and Beatrice,
who were left motherless through the
death of the princess.
Remembers Other Relatives.
The third surprise was a bequest of
$500,000, in a codicil added not. long
before his death, to Miss Dorothy
Bateman of Newport. Miss Bateman
is the- charming and beautiful young
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Bate
man. who acquired a fortune by run
ning an ultra-exclusive hotel at New
port, where Winans and his parents be
fore him maintained a summer resi
dence.
Thes residue of the $4,000,000 estate
Mr. Winans bequeaths to Ross F.
Whistler, a brother-in-law, and George
Revillon. a stepbrother of his mother. I
And, further, to his "old and cherished
friends. Margaret M. Smith and Louis
M. Butts," he gives $50,000 each.
Helps a Judge in Bad Fix.
Justice Eli Cherry, of Gillis Mills, >
Tenn., was plainly worried. A bad sore
mi his leg had baffled several doctors
and long resisted all remedies. “I
thought if was a cancer." he ivrote. “At
last I used Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and
was completely cured.” Cures burns. j
boils, ulcers, cuts, bruises and piles. 25 j
cents at. all druggists. J
Now is the time to get rid of your
rheumatism. You can do it by applying j
Chamberlain's Liniment and massag
ing the parts freely at. each application.
