While thousands cheered him here he cried: •The other day Mr. Taft said that the national committee would give him justice. T want the people to do me justice, and that illustrates the dif ference between us. ' I appeal to the people and not to the national committee, with the exception that It will misrepresent the people. I appeal to the people to control them selves. Remember the national com mittee was elected, not by the people but by the politicians, four years ago. Denies He Left Deficit. "Mr. Taft appeals to the national committee elected by the politicians and I appeal to the people. Now, this is your fight. I have come here to ask that you stand by your selves. We are making a tight for you to rule, for your right to rule, and it is your duty to rule.” Replying to the Taft charges that Roosevelt left a national deficit when he retired from office, the colonel said: "In my administration the income ex. needed the expenditures by somewhere between two and three hundred million dollar”; so much that we had almost too much surplus. We had more than we needed for our own running ex penses and we used it to pay for the Panama canal digging.” Following a conference with Sena tor Dixon, head of the national Roose velt bureau, the colonel let it be known he. is sure of getting the nomination on the first ballot. There will be "the hottest kind of a time” in Chicago, his supporters declare, if the national com mitter tides to substitute delegate' against whom the Roosevelt faction is raid to have lodged protests.

Georgia soon is to know the secrets of Okefenokee swamp, probably the largest tract of unexplored land in the United States, not excepting even the everglades of Florida. Seven scientists, members of the teach ing corps of Cornell university, passed through Atlanta today and will enter the swamp tomorrow’ over the old Pendleton trail to put in the summer there, study ing the flora and fauna of the unusual region. The Cornell men will be accompanied by c. S. Spooner, assistant state ento mologist, who will be with the party during the entire trip of exploration. T,ee W'orsham, state entomologist, will accompany’ the party to the edge of the swamp, but will not take part in the work. This is the first time a party composed wholly of scientists has attempted to ex plore the swamp. Local parties of stu dents have skirted the edges and hunting parties have penetrated some of the most remote parts The party is headed by Dr. .1. C Brad ley. assistant professor of entomology at Cornell university, and is composed of the following men: A. W Wright, A. R. Camp. C. R. Crosby, M. B. Leonard, S. C. Bishop, W. D. Funkhauesr and C S. Spooner. The party visited the state papitol this morning and held a short conference with Ix>e Worsham, going over the details of the trip. Dr. Bradley Is confident that the trip will reveal flora and fauna not known to have existed in the United States. While the trip is not intended to observe con ditions in the Okefenokee with an idea of draining It. Dr Bradley said that some of the party's observations doubtless would prove valuable if the state or the government ever decided to put in drain age canals.
