sos 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. HARRISON OF MARIST WINS ORATORS MEDAL Mayor Courtland S.

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."

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.
