CHICAGO, Jun? 3. —Ready for the Struggle for the nomination of a can didate for president on the Republican ticket, politicians gathered in Chicago today. Forces representing President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt, and who will guide the fights for the two fac tions in the contest to be waged over delegates, are on the ground. Head quarter' of both factions are open and finishing touches hate been put on the plans for the struggle opening Thurs day before the national committee. Congressman William B. McKinley of Illinois. Taft campaign manager, and Senator Joseph M. Dixon arrived In Chicago from Washington during the. day. The Taft manager and the Roosevelt campaign director came on the same train. Ormsby McHarg, pilot of the steam roller for Taft four years ago. is on the ground ready to make the same fight, this time on the Roosevelt side For mer Senator Charles Dick of Ohio, who will help McKinley in the delegate struggle, also arrived today. The fight as begun by the colonel's forces has many new angle.-. Trying to Break Taft's Power. Members of the national committee are hurrying to Chicago and will all be here Wednesday when the first unprec edented move —that of trying to unseat five of their number to place five Roosevelt men in their stead —gets un der full swing. Roosevelt desires to break th? hold of the president on the national committee, Taft forces claim a majority of five of the men who have the say in seating con tested delegates. The Colonel has five newly elected members who would, if they were seated, give him the upper hand. The first of these. R. B. Howell, of Nebraska, armed with a gold sealed certificate of election from the secre tary of state of Nebraska, is on hand today and has started the contest. How ell demanded the seat of Victor Rose water. acting chairman of the commit tee. Howell, the first of the contestants on th? ground, asserts that he is and has been the national committeeman from Nebraska, and that Rosewater is only a holdover. Howell says he be came committeeman on May 17, the day that he qualified under the Ne braska law. Claims Seat Under Nebraska Law. Heretofore the national committee men have held office until after the na tional convention. Chairman Harry S. I New, of the sub-committee on arrange ments, says that the rule will be ap plied this year. Howell asserts that the committee already has adopted a rule recognizing the statutes of the va rious states as authoritative, and that under these statute? he is entitled to his seat. "There is no question but that I am, under the laws of the state, the only man entitled to act as a national com mitteeman from Nebraska," he said. .

Watson burns excessively nowadays it is because people are talking about him. For one reason or another he doesn't ; fade from th? limelight a little bit, and I just now the question of his party reg ; ularity is the thing that particularly is i agitating the minds of various pa- I triotic and liberty-loving persons hero | and there. Inasmuch as the "red-headed person" was handed a pretty regular set of cre dentials by- the state convention th? other day, the question of his right, and title to them now does seem to some a problem about as Interesting as wheth er it is worth while to lock the stable door after the equine thing has depart ed—still "the boys" are discussing th? question vigorously, some in joy and some in sorrow.'and it is doubtful that the end is yet, or in sight even. The people, being the lurv. will judge only the facts in the case. The law they will take from the court —if they can iocate the court, beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt. The facts are as follows: Previous to the gubernatorial campaign of 1906 all I hands agreed that the Hon. Thomas E. Watson was not even fractionally reg ular. He was clinging to his old "Pop" affiliations, and not caring a hoot who knew It. When the. Hoke Smith band wagon drove around in 1906 in the Hon. Tom's vicinity, th? Hon. Tom. by invitation, either expressed or implied, climbed aboard And the band wagon went to victory—and the Hon. Tom got a .stamp of regularity from that outfit, surely In the campaign of 1908 Watson fa vored Brown against Smith, and Brown won In th? campaign of 1910 the Hon Tom, still O. K.'d, all right, supported Governor Brown as against Governor Smith—or, at least, favored Brown and Brown lost. Whereupon the Hon. Tom began a campaign for Brown, without Brown’s consent, calling upon th? people to elect Brown as an Inde pendent. notwithstanding the fact that Governor Smith had won out in the primary And Mr. Watson can-led several counties for Brown in that post-pri mary effort, too! Many folks now are claiming that Watson's action in 1910 forfeited any stamp of regularity the Hoke Smith people previously may have put upon him. Now. via the 1912 Underwood cam paign, the Hon. Tom has had his Dem ocratic hat put on straight once more! Do you grasp the standing of the Hon. Thomas E. Watson inside the Democratic party today, gentle reader! or obstreperous reader, as the case may be? It is much in the point of view, per haps. ' Wilson loses Rhode Island," says a nearby contemporary, in a big headline. Rhode Island is such a little state —perhaps the New Jer sey governor never found it. to be gin with Burton Controls Ohio Situation COLUMBUS. OHIO, June 3.—Na tional politics today turned to the Ohio Republican convention which went in to session here with a program entail ing tile selection of six delegates at large to Chicago, the election of party officials, the nomination of a complete state ticket and the drafting of a gen eral platform of principles. Interest centered upon a series of Conferences between the Taft and Roosevelt leaders and Senator Theo E. Burton, who, representing the unin structed delegates of Cuyahoga counts , held the balance of power between the warring factions and who admittedly was in a position to throw the "big six" delegation either to the adminis tration forces or to the colonel. Senator Burton closeted himself during the morning hours first with the secretary to the president, C. D Hilles, and then with Walter F. Brown, manager of th? Roosevelt campaign. It was known that Mr. Burton was at tempting to effect a compromise be tween the two factions which would split the six delegates at largo, divid ing them equally between Taft and Roosevelt. Neither Mr. Hilles nor Mr. Brown, however, would accept a, com promise and declared that it was to be war to the bitter end. The Roosevelt men are claiming 420 of the delegates, while the Taft managers placed their support at 406, with 378 necessary to control. it was known that Senator Burton was fighting desperately for the Taft administration, which he has repeated ly commended in the highest terms of praise. The Roosevelt strength at the Ohio primary and th? aggressive at titude of the colonel's supporters in today's convention, however, overawed the senator and he was not willing tn lay h s political future on the altar of acrifii e for one faction or the other.

By JAMES B NEVIN, Now that all the unimportant j pros and cons have been heard from the commencement orators will settle the big problejns as they i should be settled, of course. Hugh Rowe, of Athens, expresses much interest in and approval of the permanent registration plan proposed by Carl Vinson, of Baldwin, for the consideration of th? legislature, at its forthcoming summer session "What the legislature needs.” said Mr. Rowe, "is more legislators of the Vinson stripe He gets things througn —things worth while, too. I have watched his course in the. house, and it has' been effective "The plan of permanent registration he. proposes has been suggested before. I understand that it will have the ap proval of a great many members of the house, and it should have. Our present registration laws are absurd and too complex for ordinary understanding It looks as if they were framed to keep people off the registration lists, rather than to get them on, "I am glad that Carl Vinson is to take in hand the needed reform he outlines. I feel now that the law will be changed in the matter of registra tion, as it unquestionably should be " “Senator Smith has deeply of fended the god Neptune," says The New York Mail. The. Mail should be specific. If it means Georgia's Senator Smith, It can not arouse any sympathy for Neptune in this neck of the woods! Kimball house lobby near-joke: "■Why is Georgia politics like a pro hibition state cocktail?" Answer: "Betause it is so badly mixed!” (Great laughter—not.) Hon Mark Johnson has eased sev eral distressing pains in Georgia by announcing a definite purpose not to run for railroad commissioner He has finally decided to stand for the senate from the Forty-second district, asjt is Bartow's time to name the senator. It is not at all likely Mr. Johnson will have any opposition for the senate It has been an open secret all along that he could have that office for thi asking He is very strong in Bartow, and under the usual custom of rota tion in the state senatorships there will be no candidate outside of Bartow. The present senator from the Forty second, William H Ennis, of Floyd, will make the race for solicitor general of the Rome judicial circuit against John W Bale, of Walker, who now holds that office. It is generally agreed that Colo nel Randolph Anderson, of Savan nah, is one of the polltest, suavest, gentlest, thls-really-hurts-me more-than-!t-iloes-youest steam roller manipulators that ever oper ated in a Georgia state convention. Congressman Hardwick charac terizes Colonel Roosevelt as a "madman." Still. Mr. Hardwick does not deny that there is much method in the colonel's madness, now and then.

Thomas E "Watson will not oppose Senator Augustus O. Bacon for re election to the United States senate. Major Charles E. McGregor, for many years Mr. Watsons closest and most Intimate political friend, confi dant and adviser, has xvritten a letter to Colonel Charles R.

Major McGregor’s lett’er is as fol lows "To the Editor of The Telegraph; I am just in receipt of a letter from Mr. Watson in reply to mine re garding senatorial race, in which he states he wdll not be a candidate against Hon, A.

Certain it is. friends close to Mr. Watson, with his knowledge and con sent, gave currency to a statement of a seemingly categorical nature, as late as Saturday last, that Mr. Watson surely yvould be in the senatorial race, and that Congressman Hardwick like ly would oppose him. Mr. Hardwick was quoted as having said that he certainly yvould oppose Watson, should 'Watson run. Some erf Mr. Watson's friends in At lanta are of the opinion that recent developments yvith respect to Mr. Wat son's arrest for improper use of the mails may have had something to do with his sudden decision to abandon the senatorial race. 7 CONVICTS ESCAPE FROM RIVER BOAT; 3 DROWN, 2 CAUGHT NEW ORLEANS, June 3.—Seven white convicts escaped from a quar ters boat in the Mississippi river near Baton Rouge early today. Two were recaptured; two, it is believed, got away to the swamps, now five and six feet deep with water from the breaks in the levee, and three are be lieved to have been drowned. Among the latter is Charles Thomas, of Seda lia. Mo., twenty years old. sentenced to serve three years for burglary. The two who now are believed to have escaped are William McGregor, of On tario, Canada, highwayman, and J. B. Morgan, of Chicago. The three believed to have been drowned are George M. Cin cinnati; Thomas and Charles Flores, of Louisiana. GEORGIA HIGH COURT MAKES RECORD FOR AFFIRMING PENALTIES In a single year the Georgia supreme court has disposed of 54 capital cases and but In two- instances has the judg ment of the trial court been reversed. Sixteen of these t.’.ses came to the high court yvith. the extreme penalty— —death—assigned, and not a single judgment was reversed. Os the sixteen slayers all but three went to the gal lows. two took their o-wn lives and one was killed in attempting to escape. These figures were given out by At torney General Felder and cover the work of the court since July, 1911. Os the 54 judgments, two were reversed, three dismissed and the remainder af firmed. A dismissal amounts to the same in matter of fact as an affirma tion. There are seven capital cases now pending before the court. SMALLPOX ABOARD LINER; HUNDREDS ARE DETAINED NEW YORK.

WASHINGTON, June 3.—The Taft management is busily seeking ways and means to extricate its beaten principal from its present uncomforta ble position. The Cranes and the Mc- Kinleys want to tvithdraw Taft and at the same time save his presidential dignity. This is not so easy. The Taft peo ple, while only too willing to beat Roosevelt, can make out in the general whirl of things but one chance to do so. Also that chance is exceedingly narrow and unpromising. The one chance to beat Roosevelt now that the thunderbolt of the prima ries has hammered Taft to a standstill, Is LaFollette, who now hates Roose velt. With this in view’ and pressed upon by the dire necessity of finding some way out for Taft himself. Sena tor Grane and Taft’s general manager, McKinley, have been and still are in confab with Gronna, senator from North Dakota, with the thought of turning the Taft strength over to La- Follette. LaFollette Man For Chairman. Root probably will not be finally of fered as temporary chairman. Crane and McKinley, powwowing with Gron na, want the LaFollette people to se lect a man for temporary chairman— one of LaFollette's own people. The Taft, or rather the anti-Roose .velt forces on the national committee, will propose the LaFollette selection in place of Root, who is eager to get out. LaFollette, with all the help which Taft can give him, would then be left to fight for conventional control, his won delegates being reinforced by Taft's army of Federal officeholders. It was published that Roosevelt him self would not go to Chicago. It is now- understood both he and LaFollette will be there, Roosevelt with a seat among the delegates. The latter, it is predicted, will manage his own war. Taft, gloom in his heart and black ness on his brow, will remain in Wash ington, where his late flights about the country have left him plenty in the presidential sense to do. Task of Transfer Not Easy. The task of transferring The Taft strength to LaFollette is felt to be a ticklish one. Those recent orders to the Ohio people, in the name of Taft to "fight to the last ditch,” and as well, similar fulminations to Taft delega tions in the South, are Intended to hold the Taft delegates together for the time being. That is good politics. But it will be a ticklish job. Two-thirds of Taft's delegates are of the office-hoping, office-holding type of patriots. Moved not by principle, but interest, such are actuated only by a mad ambition to be for and with the rvinner. Most of Taft's delegates are with Taft, like so many’ animals in cages, and are yearning hungrily to get out and escape across to Roosevelt. That condition of uneasiness and uncertainty is what makes the transfer of Taft's delegates to LaFollette so dif ficult. It is feared that in the process of moving them from the Taft cage to the LaFollette cage many’ will dodge between the legs of the Cranes and Mc- Kinleys and run away to the enemy. The Taft people as this is written are writing and wiring hither and yon in an earnest effort to closeherd as much as may be the Taft strength for con vention delivery tot LaFollette. Dubois on Clark's Chances. Leaving the Republicans, where all is strike and angry disunion, for the Dem ocrats, where at least optimism and partial peace prevail, Dubois, general manager for Clark, is again in town. This week he will go to New York to talk things over with Boss Murphy and learn what the New York delegation in tends to do. I had quite a talk with Dubois. "Why," I asked, "do so many of the big papers oppose the nomination of Clark ?" "For the same reason that Bryan never got their support. "With rare ex ceptions. the big papers of the country are sympathetic with the big interests. BETTER WAR STORIES SOUGHT BY CHILDREN OF THE CONFEDERACY How to meet and counteract false statements in regard to Southern his tory so often found in children’s liter ature will be the most important mat ter considered by’ the Julia Jackson chapter of the Children of the Con federacy which meets Thursday after noon. A literary and musical program has also been prepared for the meeting. The members of this organization have long been considering the advisa bility of taking certain well known pri. mart’ histories and revising them so that young readers will not receive im proper ideas of the Civil war. Thurs day's meeting will undoubtedly develop some plan for this. Miss Elizabeth M. Hanna, directress of the organization, will deliver the principal address. 110.000 IDLE ON BRITISH DOCKS: STRIKE GROWING LONDON. June 3. —The dock and transport service is grow ing more seri ous. Over 110,000 freight handlers and firemen were idle along the Thames and Midway rivers today and the number was groxving Families of many strik ers are destitute and are suffering great privation Trouble was threatened at a number of points where the number of strikers' pickets were doubled. EXCHANGE SECRETARY RESIGNS. AUGI'STA. GA. June 3 John G Glover, secretary of the Augusta Cotton exchange, has tendered his resignation to the board of directors to take effect Im mediately Mr Glover has secured a pos ition as Augusta representative of .% large New York cotton firm H:s auccesaor has not yet been chosen. They never support men like Bryan and Clark, who really stand for the people and against those big interests repre sented by the big papers.” "Where does Bryan stand as to Clark?” I asked. Bryan will not declare himself un equivocally for any one candidate until he casts the vote of Nebraska, which includes his own, for Clark on roll call at the Baltimore convention. Bryan is for a progressive and has expressed no preference as between Clark and Wilson. I have been informed by’ close friends of Bry’an, within the last few days, that Bryan told them in Minne apolis that he regarded the nomination of Clark as a certainty, and that he could give and would give Clark his most cordial and hearty support. "While I have no hesitation in saying that Bry’an will be entirely satisfied yvith the nomination of Clark, I doubt very much if he intends to make any public expression to the effect until he announces his vote for Clark at Balti more.” . "Clark on First Ballot,” “Tell me about the Clark chances,” I said* The Dubois eye brlgthened penegy rlcally. "I have no doubt about Clark’s nomi nation,” he replied. “The situation and the conditions which have produced the situation convince me that Clark will be nominated on the first ballot. In California and Nevada in the far West, in Massachusetts and Maryland in the far East and in Illinois they held pres idential preference primaries and the Democrats were allow’ed to express their choice by a direct vote. In Cal ifornia Clark had a majority of three to one; in Nevada, five to one; in Mas sachusetts and Maryland, two to one, and in Illinois his majority was 140,000. "In the states where there were no preferential primaries the people have sent large majorities of instructed del egates to the state conventions. "There is no mistaking the sentiment of the Democracy in every section of the country. They demand the nomi nation of Clark. He has had no money. Al! the big newspapers have been and are now opposed to him. with the one tremendous exception of the Hearst pa pers. Yet as state follows state in convention or primaries, the sentiment is for Clark. He will go to Baltimore with considerably more than 500 dele gates. Has Not Antagonized Others. Clark has not antagonized any’ of the other candidates. He laid down the rule in the beginning of the campaign that he would not be a candidate in any state which was the home of an oppos ing candidate. He did not contest North Dakota, Indiana, Ohio, Alabama or New Jersey. In no way has he made enemies of the other candidates or their friends. The consequence is that Clark is the second choice of the Wilson men, the Harmon men and the Underwood men, and with half of the convention to start yvith, this renders the selection of a dark horse impossible. ■ “To illustrate, Bryan has, and through him Governor Wilson has. an tagonized Harmon and Underwood. If the dark horse should be some one preferred by Bryan, naturally the Har mon and Underwood forces would go immediately to the speaker. On the other hand, if they should attempt a dark horse, who belongs to the Har mon herd, the Wilson and Bryan forces would immediately turn to Clark. Clark occupies a unique position. Let me group the leaders of the different phases of Democracy in the^country. Take Bry’an, Hearst and Harmon. All of them would heartily support Clark. What other Democrat would they sup port? Boss Murphy, George Fred Wil liams and Tom Watson; every one of them would cordially support Clark. Where is there another Democrat whom all of them would support? The Dem ocrats of the country’ are for Clark. His long public record has not been as sailed and can not be, and that is the reason he will be nominated on the first ballot; that,is why we ore going to elect him.
