TAFT SMILE GONE,
GST HE KEEPS
HP FIGHT
President’s Voice Husky, and
Strain Is Telling—Rushing
Through New Jersey.
LAMBERTVILLE. N. J., May 24
That the strain of his campaign for
renomination is telling severely on
President Taft was made evident when
he dashed northward by train and auto
through New Jersey today in his ef
forts to win the state's delegation.
He made his first speech here, warn
ing the people to beware of the thiid
term ambition of Theodore Roosevelt
and defending his administration. His
voice was husky and the happy smile,
which he showed during the latter days
of the Ohio campaign, was completely
missing. The president's face l was
drawn and the effects of his arduous
work showed plainly.
During his day’s work the president
expects several times to cross the trail
of Senator LaFollette, who is also try
ing to win the state from both Taft and
Roosevelt.
After his car platform speech here
the president proceeded to Frenchtown
and Phillipsburg. From the latter point
his program called for an automobile
tour that would take him to Somer
ville, New Brunswick, Plainfield and
Elizabeth. He will reach New York
tonight.
“We’ve Got ’Em,”
Exclaims Colonel
NEW YORK. Mav 24 —"We've got
’em.”
With this terse but much-meaning
exclamation Colonel Roosevelt today
started out on his second day’s inva
sion of New Jersey. He was in happy
spirits because of the enthusiastic re
ception given him yesterday. The colo
nel’s program called for elevon speeches
as follows:
Burlington. Hammonton, Egg liat
bor, Atlantic City, Millville, Vineland.
Bridgeton. Glassboro. Woodbury, Cam
den and Clinton, concluding at !»::io
tonight, when he will return to New
Y ork.
The tour as planned brought him al
most within hailing distance of Presi
dent Taft, and tonight he will speak in
Camden, where the president was greet
ed by a large crowd last night.
A small army of photographers ac
companied the colonel and he had a
glad word for all of those in his retinue
w hom he knew. The news in the morn
ing papers was to his liking, and espe
cially that containing the comment of
the English press on the fact that New
York newspapers were disposed to un
derrate his importance as a factor in
the national fight. He approved th,
English view that he was a "big fac
tor.”
“The Fight Is Won,’’
T. R. Tells Hearers.
TRENTON, N. J.. May 24,—"The
fight is won. 1 think We are going to
carry New Jersey.”
This was Colonel Roosevelt's confi
dent assertion here today. The colo
nel's train stopped at Trenton long
enough to take on a group of Roose
velt boosters.
"It looks fine here." said the colonel
to his managers. “1 feel we are going
to beat 'em.''
“Vote the Way You
Shout,’’ Says Colonel.
BURLINGTON. N. J.. May 24.—Five
thousand people greeted Colonel Roose
ve't when his train arrived here today.
The huge throng gave the colonel a
vociferous welcome w hen he spoke from
the rear platform of his car.
"This looks as though New Jersey is
mi the right side of the fight," he said.
He then told the crowd that “I am
fighting jour battle for you and you
ought to vote for me.”
This evoked a wild cheer and the ex
president, beaming, exclaimed: "Just
vote the way you shout!”
Virginia Goes
Against Wilson
NORFOLK. \ A.. May 24. Except on
»he first ballot, when he will get S' 2
instructed votes from congressional dis
tricts, Professor Woodrow Wilson will
receive no support w hatever from the Vir
ginia delegation at the Democratic Na
tional convention in Baltimore.
The state convention late yesterday de
cided that the unit rule would be ap
plied to the state delegation after the
initial ballot. District delegates will vote
instructions only on the first ballot, and
after that the entire 24 votes of this state
will be east by two-thirds vote of the.
delegation. The 17’i anti-Wilson votes
will eliminate the professor. No instruc
tions were given by the state convention,
except that the unit rule should apply.
The convention defeated a move for a
presidential preference primary. The
platform adopted provides, among other
tilings, for a ratification of the income
tax amendment to the Federal constitu
tion.
Wilson Appeals on
Paper to Jersey men
TRENTON. N. J.. May 24.—Governor
Woodrow Wilson today published his
first direct appeal to the Democratic
voters of New Jersey to support him
in the presidential primary on Tuesday.
In an address directed to "the voters
~f New Jersey." Governor Wilson said:
"1 was unwilling to canvass the state
for your vote. I have spoken frequent
ly in other stales because my triends
'hought I ought to make myself per

SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS &
There is talk of another fight for
congressional honors in the Tenth dis
trict this year, although it had ap
peared. until of late, as if Representa
tive Thomas VV. Hardwick, th' present
congressman, was to have things pretty
much his own way there.
The fight in the Tenth last time was
one of the most spectacular the state
ever saw. Congressman Hardwick
waged the hardest and the bitterest
warfare for continued preference he
ever had been called upon to wage in
all his more or less stormy and pic
turesque career. He non out splendid
ly. but there were wounds left as conse
quences of that fight which never have
healed —perhaps that never will heal.
So far, Mr. Hardwick Is the only an
nounced candidate, and the state pri
maries are barely three months away.
That there is a well defined effort to
get O. R. Eve to stand against Mr.
Hardwick again this year is a fact,
however, notwithstanding the foregoing
stated circumstances. Mr. Eve opposed
Mr. Hardwick last time, and he and
another candidate divided the anti-
Hardwick vote, so called, to Mr. Hard
wick’s great advantage.
Mr. Eve gave out for publication a
day or so ago a statement in which he
dearly set forth that he might—indeed,
probably would —be a candidate again
this year, and he believes that his
chance of success is far blighter now
than it was two years ago. moreover.
Mr. Hardwick is a resourceful tight
er, and h mighty hard man to down, any
way one may look at it. if Mr. Eve
goes after Mr. Hardwick’s scalp he will
be kept pretty busy getting it—that
goes without saying. As a matter of
fact, another fight between Hardwick
and Eve would be spectacular enough
for all ordinary purposes, and perhaps
a little more than that.
According to a Georgia contem
porary, the recent Republican "in
surgent” convention in Atlanta in
structed for Roosevelt "to the bitter
end." It’s a poor Georgia contem
porary that can see anything other

The truth of the matter is,
Champ Clark’s dog has grown en

It seems to be generally agreed that
Representative Gordon Lee, of Walker

one else appears to have retired in their
favor.
Mr. Vandiver is one of the genuinely
popular men in the Seventh district. H"
has a state-wide reputation of efficien
cy in his office, and no man in north
west Georgia has a more extensive
hand-shaking acquaintance. Ho has
been Floyd county’s tax collector for
many years—was recently re-elected by
a tremendous majority, by the way
and continuously has held his insolvent
list down io smaller proportions than it
ever was held in the history of the
county. And he puts that over annual
ly with a minimum distress of mind in
any one, so far as election returns in
dicate.
Mr. Vandiver's candidaev from Floyd
closes the list there—just as Congress
man Lee's closes it in Walker.
The real objection to Mr. George
Ade's entry into Indiana politics is,
of course, that it more than likely
will start that awful lemon-Ade
ncar-joke on its weary rounds
again.

rattling good speaker, too, the forth

will be more than ordinarily Interest
ing from the standpoint of oratory, if
not particularly exciting otherwise.
Another tempest Is brewing in Macon
political circles, as a result of petitions
addressed to the three representatives
from Bibb in the present legislature,
asking them to amend the charter of
the city of Macon so the mayor be not
restricted to two consecutive terms in
office.
Representatives Jo? Hill Hall and
Walter Defore are outspoken in oppo
sition to the proposition, and it is not
thought likely that Representative Min
ter Wimberly can get the amendment
over their combined protest, even
should he undertake to do so. which is
problematical.
The present, mayor disclaims any re
sponsibility for the movement, although
some of his warm friends are behind it.
A number of delegates to the
forthcoming Georgia state Demo
cratic convention threaten to be
more conspicuous by their absence
than otherwise,
"What’s the matter with Taft?”
was the concluding slogan of an
administration newspaper in Ohio.
Nothing is the matter with Taft,
according to Colonel Roosevelt, ex
cept everything.
