IN THANKS TO WOMEN
By CHAMP CLARK.
WASHINGTON’. May 16. -The result in California. New
Hampshire. Nevada ami New Mexico, iour slates all in one
day, is enough Io make any man proud and happy. Os course,
these four states have not enough delegates to insure my nomi
nation. but they arc enough to go a long way in that direction.
ft is a considerable distance from California to New Hamp
shire. and the fact that I have carried them explodes absolutely
the theory which was somewhat overworked that I had no sup
port outside the states bordering on Missouri.
ft gotjs without saying that 1 am profoundly grateful to the
Democrats of the quartette of states named, and I sincerely
hope my friends therein will never have cause to regret their
action. Whatever happens. I shall always hold this evidence of
their confidence ami esteem above all price.
I am particularly under obligations to the women of Cali
fornia. who. exercising for the first time the elective franchise
in a national election, stood by me so loyally.
By GENEVIEVE B. CLARK.
WASHINGTON, May 16 I wish to join with my husband
in expressing my appreciation of the aid given his candidacy
by the women of California, and I congratulate all the women
who voted at the primaries on their first exercise of the privi
lege of sharing in a national election.
I know that there will always be a wise use made ol the
ballot by the good women of California, and trust that before
another four years have passed their example will have stimu
lated all tile states of the I iiion to extend the vote to women.

because W. L. Young found it in his
railroad postoffice pouch on the train
between Chattanooga and Meridian.
Young is a considerable mail clerk.
Very often he has sent along letters to

this particular package stumped him

, King opened the package and came
upon the trout. "Send it along to Mr.
Fish,” he said humorously.
"Sure," said Young, "but what town
does Fish live at?"
"The best thing to do," advised Ills
, boss, "is to shove the darned thing into
, the Atlanta dead letter office. They’ll
know there if anybody can find out
where it belongs. What I think is that
the fellow who sent that trout took
something along besides bait when he
went fishing."
So they forwarded the fish to the
Nixie department here. King sent on a
letter formally explaining the situation
1 to Postmaster .McKee and there has
been about one mile and a half of the
intel tnjnable P. <>. red tape used up
trying to locate the owner and the
sender of that fish.
Meantime it lies in the Nixie depart
ment. where it has a separate place of
honor, principally because its not a
1 fresh trout any more.
The easy way to get help for house

JNTI-TIFT KN
GATHERING HERE
The anti-Taft wing of the Republican
party in Georgia will meet in conven
tion in Atlanta tomorrow in the senate
chamber of the capitol.
This convention will elect four dele
gates-at-large and four alternates to
the national Republican convention,
which meets in Chicago qn June 18.
They will be instructed uncompromis
ingly for Roosevelt.
The "insurgent” delegates to be elect
ed tomorrow will go to Chicago with
credentials claiming tp be pritna facie
regular. They will not expect to be
seated immediately, but they will con
test with the Taft delegates elected in
March for the right to sit in the con
vention.
Illegal Election Their Claim.
In the event of the Roosevelt strength
being sufficient to organize the nation
al convention, these contesting Georgia
delegates probably will be seated in
place of the regulars. They claim that
the Taft delegates, who will bear cre
dentials signed by the recognized Geor
gia delegation, were elected illegally
and without due notice.
