TAFT'S WE NOT
TO BE SUBMITTED
President Recognizes His Own
Defeat—Friends Deserting
Him. Says Lewis.
Bv ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.
WASHINGTON. May 31. I have def
inite information that President Taft's
name will not appear before the Unl
earn convention.
This will be emphatically denied for
a few days in the hope of finding a
new man on whom stand-patters can
combine to boat Koosev.lt. But there
is no such man.
Taft Beaten From Field.
Fairb -peaking and putting It the
softest way for T ift, he has been whip
ped and beaten from the field. The
news from New Jersey came as a last
feather to the camel's back of bis reso
lution. which had begun bending with
Illinois and Massachusetts, and has been
show ing increased and increasing signs
of breaking ever since
Th* men whom Taft thought were his
friends have turned out to be only a
beaming host of political breadliners,
with expantant hearts and hands out
stretched. They used him and now
they desert him.
Tables Are Now Turned.
Where once they had trouble seeing
him and pushed and jockeyed and jos
tled for the privilege, he now has even
more trouble in seeing them. Such ns
Cannon. Penrose, Hale, Root, Sherman
and others of a similar selfish feather
he is tn this, his hour of gloom and
mourning, unable to find with a search
warrant.
What comes bitterest to one of Taft’s
soft-baked and defenseless tempera
ment is that he receives little or less
sympathy. Cannon makes no secret of
his satisfaction at the disasters which
have overtaken Taft. He says that he
(Taft i should never have put Mac-
Veagh and Fisher in his cabinet.
Now that matters ate upside down
with Taft. Sherman Is not displeased
at primary returns which prove that it
was Taft, not he, who destroyed the
administration.
Cabinet Not Sympathetic.
Even the cabinet is in no sense a
sympathetic unit. I’p one cabinet side
and down the other there has been
going for some time the general kick of
"’ r o« much Wickersham." Now, when
sorrow ha« leaped like a black beast
upon the back of Taft and defeat has
him squarely between its Jaws, Knox
and Meyer and Fisher and even the
timid MacVeagh do not seem grief
bitten to the heart. Wilson is old and
has troubles of his own, while Stim
son doesn't appear to count.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
A determined effort will be made in
I Baltimore, so it is said, by one of the
.delegations from the West, to set aside In
the national Democratic convention the
.ancient rule requiring a two-thirds vote
I to nominate.
It is not likely that the Georgia dele
gation will take an\ hand in that move
ment. as the question has not been agi
tated at all in this state, but if the mat
ter should < ome to a vote in the con
vention, it is more than probable that
the Georgia delegation would favor the
I < <»nt inuan< e of the rule
it Is pointed out as rather a curious
I circumstance that this two-thirds rule,
1 which has been attacked time and again,
l But ne'er successfully, was adopted in a
.convention In which there was absolute
ly no reason why it should have been,
so far as any immediate necessity or
crisis was concerned
The rule was first Invoked In the con
vention of 1X32 held in Baltimore, by the
way in which Andrew Jackson was nom
inated b\ acclamation for the presidency.
Only once since when Cleveland was
nominated in 1884 has a candidate been
nominated by acclamation in a national
J Democratic convention
! "Nobody dreams that the Republic
an nominee will receive a single
electoral vote in Georgia. Alabama,
Florida or Mississippi," says The
Washington Herald Colonel Roose
velt is dreaming it. all right, it seems.
Mr Watson will go to Baltimore,
but all the speeches he makes will
be carefully edited by Colonel Pen
dleton, of course
A curious and significant minor phase
of the state convention Wednesday was
the utter collapse of the nice little move
inent set afoot by some statesmen to have
the convention go on record as favoring
Woodrow’ Wilson for "second choice” for
the president lai nomination
If that movement ever got anywhere
at all. nobody could notice It It wasn't
even mentioned in open convention, al
though it is said that the committee on
i esolutions discussed it with a view to
getting it out of the way forever
It is said that the Underwood instruc
tions were framed after the precise man
ner reported, largely because it was de
sired that the convention go on record
as favotmg nobody for second choice.
The delegates are instructed for I’n
derwood "until his nomination is se
cured.’’
That wns going even old Alabama one
better, in the matter of Instructing for
that state’s favorite son for the presidency
of the United States.
It is proposed, according to an es
teemed contemporary, to make "one
six-year term in the white house the
limit.” A lot of folks think it will
he just that if Teddy gets In again.
Now that the slate convention has
been disponed of, the swept girl and
i sour boy graduates may come out of
their lairs and say whatever it is they
have on their minds.

secure the indorsement of Virginia, one

"not to g«i into the home counties.’ so

in view. I carefully refrained from ac

”1 discovered that Dick claimed a new

in that gathering, and so long as the "red

There were some twenty or thirty ora

SEYMOUR. IND.. May 31.—Samuel
Newby received $2 for sweet potato
plants that he sold 40 years ago. With

She said the debt had caused her
