BISB GO. EDITOR'S BOOM GAINING MOMENTUM Bibb Delegation. Solidly Anti- Watson. Plans Stinging Re buke to McDuffie Man. The movement tentatively begun yes 'erdaj' to bring before the state conven tion the name of Charles R. Pendleton, of Bibb, for one of the places as dele gate.at large to Baltimore, as outlined in The Georgian yesterday, took definite shape last night when certain leaders of rhe Bibb county delegation to the state convention agreed to undertake the election of the Macon editor, but with out asking him his wishes in the mat ter. The Bibb county delegation is solidly anti-Watson. More than that, it is just as solidly pro-Pendleton, and it will bend its best effort to keeping Watson nt home and sending Pendleton to Bai imore in Watson's place. This stand of the Bibb county delega tion is being enthusiastically accepted by other delegates who are opposed to Watson. They see in Pendleton’s elec tion as a delegate an added rebuke to Watson. They think that nothing would so completely humiliate Watson as put ting Pendleton on the national delega tion in Watson’s stead. Pendleton-Watson War Ancient. The newspaper controversy between Watson and Pendleton during the prog ress of the first Hoke Smith campaign for the governorship was one of the fiercest and most inconclusive ever "aged in Georgia. Both men are mas ters of ridicule, sarcasm, satire and invective, and what they said about one another in that newspaper row made about the crispest “copy” that < ver came down the Georgia journal istic pike. The battle generally was considered a draw. After the wreck had been cleared ur> and the debris swept aside, ft was observed that Pendleton had about as m ny handfuls of Watson’s red hair as Watson had obtained of Pendleton’s white hair. M that time Watson was devoted passionately to the cause of Hoke Smith in Georgia. Since then he has turned against Smith, and now says far more bitter things of him than he ever said of Pendleton. He refers to the senator invariably nowadays as “Hog- It-All Hoke.” Pendleton still stands right whore he did n hon he and Watson disputed. Pen dleton always has been against Smith, nd more than likely always wdll be. Wounds Never Have Healed. The wounds left from that first Smith < ampaign ffir governor . never have healed. The love lost between Pendle ton and W«atson would rattle around with a booming sound inside even the shell of a defunct mustard seed. Watson snorts at the mention of Pen dleton’s name and Pendleton thinks so much of his newspaper that lie will not even permit the name of the ‘‘red headed person” to bedeck or bespangle its pages, no matter what happens. If Watson had claimed to be the dis coverer of the north pole back in the cneerful Perry-Cook days, and the pop ulace had depended upon The Macon Telegraph to spread the glad tidings, nobody would yet know that Watson had i ven been butting around up in •nst frozen vicinity. Editor Pendleton gave old Doc Cook great gobs of free advertising. however. The Pendleton movement has more h<hind it. of course, than a mere pu’ - pose to “rub it In” on Watson. Pendleton a Stalwart Democrat. Colonel Pendleton is one of Georgia’s m Iwart Democrats. He never has ap -1 oved of Watson or Watsonism. His .■lion in Watson’s place would be a simging rebuke to the McDuffie man. to be sure; hut over and above all that. Pendleton is Pendleton. And that means much in Georgia. The Macon editor has ■epresrntcd Georgia in various national 'conven lions, and was one of the committee of notification when Alton B. Parker was nominated in St. Louis. If elected tomorrow to go once more io the national Democratic council it’is not at all unlikely that Colonel Pendle ton will be named chairman of the dele gation by his associates. GEORGIAN ON TICKET WITH COLONEL PLAN OF ROOSEVELT CLUB Edward H. Walker, the head and front of the Southern Roosevelt Demo cratic club, is jubilant over a letter he has just received from G. R.

When Cupid hid himself in a skiff which rode the bosom of a lake near a well known North Carolina resort he was only practicing an old trick. It is the belief of many, however, that he had no hope or intention of landing the victims he did. Not that the little god had any inten. tion of drawing an age limit—no, in deed—but that he rather despaired of landing one so well into the years of discretion as Edward Alsop. the mil lionaire manufacturer of Pittsburg, who married Miss Effie Pope Hill, of Wash ington. Ga. But he did—to begin with It was a moonlit night. Lights played upon the lapping waters —blue, green and gold lights. The band in the pa vilion was at the end of a soft Strauss waltz and the delightful chatter of many voices lilted in and out through the sound of the waters. Enter the Golden-Haired Girl. Cupid still hid. And no victims yet. But he knew his game. He had played It all of this life and aeons and aeons before, as they say in the melodramas. Presently the inevitable happened. A girl with golden hair came dancing down the walk in advance of a man some 55 years and three months her senior. They had met —as people will meet at summer resorts. They repre sented the spring and winter of life, but a magic bond sprang up In an instant and he in a spirit of fancy that had not possessed him since the days when his sop, who -* as Miss Effie Pope Hill, surrendered her heart to a millionaire of 71. declaring that Ove knows no years. limbs were strong and his spirit buoy ant. asked her to go boating with him. She went. Cupid still was waiting—waiting pa tiently, for he knew that they would soon be his way. The boat had scarcely left the pro tection of the shore when the little archer twanged his bowstring and the shaft went hurtling Into the hearts of both of them. A few' months later and the friends of Miss Effie Pope Hill learned that she would marry Ed ward Alsop. who had two sons, many millions and 75 years to his credit. Her friends marveled that the two could be compatible when so far separated by the years. One Georgia Girl’s Love Views. She answered in this strain: Love is THE great leveler. Before him all things fall and are of one rank. He sways not only the king in his palace, but the peasant in his field. He can not be lured by gold nor frightened by poverty. In his presence the infant and the patriarch are the same. Mrs. Alsop comes of a famous Geor gia family. The Hills made history in the Empire State of the South and their descendants are now in the fore front of its progress. Miss Hill has relatives in Washington, Augusta. At lanta, Macon and other parts of the state. Witten but a school girl Miss Hill be came known as one of the attractive Georgia women. At college commence ments and other functions all over the state she always was a prominent fig ure, and more than a few young men were numbered among her suitors. She is entirely happy now, she says. To be sure there was a slight disturb ance about an estate, but such small matters as that could hardly disturb the tranquillity of such a flawless bliss as here ’Besides." she told a reporter.

COMMITTEE PLANS FOR BIG DEADLOCK IN G. O. P. CONVENTION CHICAGO.

P. Balance of Power in Conven tion to Rest With Unin structed Delegates. By JAMES J. MONTAGUE. WASHINGTON MAY 28.—Unless every sign fails, all the bitterness of the bitter Republican campaign, boiled down and doubly distilled, will enter into the fight that will be made for del egates before the national committee at Chicago. Roosevelt, through his most trusted lieutenants, is already making a furious onslaught on the committee, despite his claim that he can win hands down with out any help from that body. McKinley, talking for Taft, virtually admits that “the strong arm ’ will be used on the Roosevelt contestants. To prove it he quotes the set of rules that obtained at the committee meeting when the allies were thrown out for Taft. j A single application of those rules, which provide that all contests shall be settled in star chamber and by viva voce vote, would hurl every Roosevelt contestant into Wabash avenue, if Taft can still keep control of the conven tion. The Uninstructed Delegates. What Roosevelt doesn’t know and Taft doesn’t know, and nobody can find out till the convention assembles, is what the hundred uninstructed dele gates are going to do. The balance of power virtually rests with these dele gates. Roosevelt has been trying for some lime past to hook the committee on ar rangements. which selects the tempo rary officers, and Is therefore of vast Importance. But just at present almost every man jack of that committee is against Roosevelt with enthusiasm. There are two suspected of weakness for the Colo nel. The chairman. Harry S. New. ot In diana. hates Roosevelt harder than anyone else in politics except Murray Crane Victor Rosewater, of Nebraska, the acting chairman of Mie whole com -1 mittee. is undecided. He comes from a Roosevelt zone and has to be careful. Prospects for Split Bright. Ralph Williams, of Oregon, used to be a Roosevelt man. but was converted, and has ail the enthusiasm of an apos tate. Arthur I. Vorys is Taft’s per sonal committeeman from Ohio, and is largely responsible for keeping the president's nerve up when Roosevelt broke Into the game The other two —Duncan, of North Carolina, and Mulvane, of Kansas —are men who like to fight, and care little for Colonel Vox Bopuli expressed in party matters. It looks, therefore, as if T. R, would have to stand by and see the prelim inaries stacked against him. What he is counting on is his ability to get the votes away from the Taft people be fore the committee meets, and if he can not do that he will trv the “recall.” In any event, the prospects that the party will split horizontally from one end to the other were never brighter than they are at this particular minute. Small Shift Will Do Trick. Roosevelt says he expects to have 490 delegates when he goes into the con vention. including thirty which William L. Ward has promised to pry loose from the Taft “urge” of the New York state convention. Taft figures he can break in with about 500. These are not the figures that are put out in type written claims; they are the figures that the leaders talk over among them selves. Necessary to a choice. 539. A small shift either way will do the »riek. The national committee will Dave 186 con tests before ft. Naturally, if it gets very rough about Roosevelt the Colonel will have to “start something."

He developed strength in every county and in many ran neck and neck with Wilson. Clark has developed a great deal of strength in the last few weeks, but his friends had no way of expressing it, only the names of Un derwood and Wilson being, before the voters.

May 28.—Reports from outlying districts indicated today that the government was meeting with suc cess in its campaign against the negro rebels. The situation is worse now in Oriente province, while in others Preß ident Gomez’s troops appear to be gain ing the upper hand. The president today received a letter from General Estenoz, the rebel com mander-in-chief. offering to surrender providing the government will pledge legislation removing the ban on negro political parties. This offer probably will be rejected, and a counter proposal of amnesty for immediate capitulation made. An order calling out half the troops in Havana for street patrol duty caused excitement today. The government of ficials said this was not an indication that the city was threatened, but was intended as an object lesson for the negroes.
