Clark Campaign
Won Votes Quickly.
Clark did not enter 'he sta'e until
two ■> nek.- as \» hen his OTmp a'jr. was
.flared in chance of ey.r'.'vrnnr John
I Cox. and the v ork f the latter has
shown phenomena results, when it <s
considered that Harmon and Wilson
people have been w-rkinr -sstduous y
In Tennessee for m.anv month# Judg
ing bv Saturday's instructions. Clark
will easily get the vote of a big ma
jority of the congressional districts
The only thing to prevent this will be
an unexpected strength for Wilson
among the independents and thev name
one-half of the delegates where they
have county committees
There is also a sentiment tn send an
un:nstrocted delegation to ’Baltimore
and this plan will no doubt prevail with
the four delegates from the state at
large.
Clark's stampede will be Interfered
with by Underwood, who is strong in
the Sixth and Seventh congressional
districts in middle Tennessee
Taft and Roosevelt
Fight For Delegates.
In all of Tennessee's chaotfo poli
tics. the most confuting situation is
presented In the contest between Pres
ident Taft and Colonel Roosevelt in
their bitter fight to get the delegation
from thia state The claims of the op
posing manager.- are about a < contrary
at. possible. The Taft followers claim
all of the 24 votes except the two of
the Second congressional district.
Counter or opposing conventions have
been held in about all of the counties
wherever one or the other candidate
sig successful and both aides will have
such a volume of contesting delegates
it will take a week to unravel if both
sides are heard
With the Taft people claiming practi
cally all, the Roosevelt people m they
will have 17 of the 24 votes, as follows
Two in the First district two In the
two m th» Eighth two in th-
Ninth, two in the Tenth, four from the
state at large and three Taft de ngates
who will break awav from Taft, as he
has "violated a gentleman's agree
ment.” not to appoint an, po-tmasters
in Tennessee until after a national con*
vention.
The Roosevelt managers assert that
the Federal and state offi, . holders are
in a conspiracy- to rob the colonel. T >
fight against this. W J Oliver, th
Knoxville contractor, of Panama canal
fame, will bring a train load of East
Tennessee faithful Brownlow Republi
cans to the state convention Tuesday
Os next week. If the, fail to get what
they demand there will be two delega
tions to Chicago.

POLICE PROTECT
CH ICAGO N EWSIES
Papers Issued Despite Press
men’s Strike, But Distribu
tion Is Hampered.
CHICAGO, May 6.—Chicago news
paper publishers today prepared to is
sue their papers as usual in spite of
the strike of pressmen, stereotypers and
wagon drivers. Early editions of the
afternoon papers were run off the
presses at the usual time, and the
morning papers in sixteen-page form
were printed and distributed. •
The police today were prepared to
give protection to newsboys in the
downtown section who sold the news
papers against whom the strike was
declared. Chief of Police McWeeney
ordered his men to use "drastic meas
ures” at the next sign of rowdyism.
Distribution of the morning papers
was hampered. At the outlying sta
tions they were late in arriving, but
they were on sale at some of the stands
in nearly every part of the city by«the
time the morning rush for the loop dis
trict started.
Two arrests were made early today
of alleged sluggers of the strikers. A
special ordej was issued to the police to
arrest any of the known “sluggers" who
are alleged to have been brought to
Chicago to take part in the strike.
A number of assaults on newsboys
and one on Catherine Bugler, who con
ducts a news stand at the Fifty-fifth
street station of the south side elevated
railroad, marked the course of the trou
ble Sunday. Some of the boys were
taken tn the hospitals.
Dennis Carney was fined $25 and
costs today for destroying a newF stand
and throwing papers into the gutter.
Carney admitted he was a strike sym
pathizer and said he was doing 4‘mis
sionary work” when he was arrested at
North State and Kinzie streets yester
day. He made no defense.

Women Can Safley
Walk City Streets,
Judge Tells Jurors
Judge W. D Ellis, cf the superior court,
declared in his, charge to the new grand
jury todaj' that if it were true that women
could not walk a block in Atlanta without
being msufted there would be a dozen
homicides every day. He based his re
marks on a newspaper story of several
months ago.
“A prominent club woman told one of
the papers that a woman could not walk
a block tn Atlanta without being fol
lowed, accosted or insulted by some ruan
on the street.” said Judge Ellis. "That
was an absolute falsehood. If it were
true there would be a dozen killings every
day Atlanta men would not let such con
ditions exist.”
Judge Ellis warned the jurv to be ex
tremely careful in its work.

Says Wife Brought

R. H. Smythe told the superior court
today he was a fairly docile sort and put
up with the majority of his wife s eccen
tricities. but when she brought a prize
fighter home with her and introduced him
as her cousin he thought the limit had
been reached.
Smythe wants a total divorce from his
wife, Sarah N. Smythe. He says her
favorite diversion was staying out nights,
smoking cigarettes and absorbing l.quor.
He says she often crawled in the window
late ar night to keep him from knowing
how late she had been out.
action is the action of fruit—of eating
coarse food—of taking exercise. It is
a true and effective liver and bowel
cleanser and regulator.
Most folks dread physic—they shrink
from the taste and after effects. Syrup
of Figs is delicious, and. besides, you
don't realize you have taken anything
until morning when all the clogged up
waste of the system is gently but thor
oughly moved on and out of the bowels
without griping or weakness.
Ask your druggist for the full name,
“Syrup of Tigs and Elixir of SennaT’
This is the old reliable and only gen

They are imitations meant to deceive
you. Read the label carefully and look
