the home 1 69. Kirkwood . avenue, yes
terday, but that his wife would not lis
ten to him. Ho then determined to kill
himself, going to the Hunter street
boarding house.
"I fulls intended to kill myself w ith
gas' he said, "but I found there was
no gas in my r <>m.' 1 obtained a razor
and slashed my throat. I realized this
•slash would not kill me. and, as it hurt
so. I didn't hart the nerve to cut. my
throat again. I then pulled out my
knife and jabbed it in my side, think
ing to hit the heart. This hurt, too, so
badly that I wouldn't try the knife
again. I’m glad now I didn't make
good."

LOCAL TAX FDR
SCHOOLS URGED
Legislature Asked for Measure
Which Will Bring Reforms in
Educational System.
That the state legislature should rec
ognize the necessity of placing the
common schools on a basis of local
taxation, so that teachers’ salaries can
be paid promptly, is one of the most
important recommendations made to
the lawmakers by School Superin
tendent M. L. Brittain In his annual re
port.
Georgia's chief difficulty, so the su
perintendent maintains, has been its
inability to pay teachers promptly—-a
difficulty due largely to the dependence
of the common schools upon the state
treasury. No more than twenty coun
ties in the state levy a local tax for
the maintenance of schools, and some
counties draw more money from the
state for schools alone than Is paid in
general taxes
Great Reforms Needed.
State statistics show, the report says,
that counties in which the local tax
system exists maintain the most effi
cient schools. The local tax system Is
the system used in the majority of
states and in the states that have the
best schools..
Mr. Brittain urges less rigid restric-
I tions be placed about the matter of cer
tification <>f teachers, particularly as It
may concern high school and super
vising teachers. The stale he believes,
should generally recognize licenses and
certificates from other states coming up
to the approved standard. He insists
upon a codification of all school laws.
In discussing the matter of compul
sory education. Mr.' Brittain maintains
that other and greater school reforms
are needed in Georgia before Its schools
will be in condition to permit of the
passage of a rigid compulsory educa
tion law. No state, he says, with con
ditions similar to those found in Geor
gia has been successful with a compul
sory law.

CHIEFS OF G. 0, P. FEAR
NOMINATION OF CLARK;
HOPE DEMOCRATS ERR
BALTIMORE. MD, June 25.—1 tls
Interesting and important that the
perspective of the Baltimore situation,
taken by the most astute politicians In
charge of the Taft and Roosevelt
forces in Chicago, is not in the least
bit altered by the information ob
tained here from leaders who will be
the chief figures in the convention
which opened today.
The Republican leaders In Chicago
had their minds filled with the grave
political condition which confronted
them. But absorbed as they were by
the political drama in which they were
playing a prominent ptfrt, whenever the
tension was In.the slightest degree re
laxed they evinced an interest in the
outcome of the Baltimore convention.
They realized that their own politi
cal fate was bound up almost as much
in the decisions with respect to can
didates and the platform which the
Democrats will make here, as it was
in the result of their own convention
labors. Freely they confessed that
they saw only two chances of Re
publican success in the approaching
campaign—both of them admittedly
slight
Thought Taft Might Retire.
The first chance which they consid
ered was the possibility that they
might be able to persuade President
Taft that, having accomplished the de
feat of Roosevelt, he should retire from
the race of his own volition and aid
them in persuading Justice Hughes to
accept the nomination. They appeared
to have a strong belief that with
Hughes as the candidate they would be
able to win.
With Taft as the nominee most of
them looked for a Roosevelt bolt, and
conceded defeat, unless the Democrats
should make a stupendous blunder in
the selection of their candidate. This
was their second chance, and they at
tached more Importance to it.than they
believe that, there was any strong like
lihood that President Taft would be
able to see the situation in the light
in which they intended to present it to
him, and because they were inclined
to think that the number of aspirants
for the Democratic nomination would
lead to such rivalry as to create a
storm of ill feeling, which would end
in party havoc.
The one great overshadowing fear
in the minds of the Republican leaders
was of Democratic harmony. As they
sized up the Baltimore situation, the
chances of Democratic dissension wers
more than even. In fact, they figured
It out. that the only Democratic can
didate to whose nomination all ele
ments of the party could be com
pletely reconciled w as Champ Clark.
Clark Could Unite Leaders,
Mr. Hearst having ardently advo
cated the candidacy of Speaker Clark
and Mr. Bryan having stated that
Mr. Clark would be entirely acceptable
to him, the selection of Mr. Clark
would bind the two most conspicuous
Democratic leaders to the enthusiastic
support of the convention's selection.
Moreover. Clark being a progressive,
he would fall heir politically to a
great deal of the independent pro
gressive force which is now such a
potent political factor in the politics
of tha, country.
Deep down in their Innermost hearts
the most cherished hope of the Re
publican leaders in Chicago was that
the Democratic convention would
nominate a reactionary. With a re
actionary at the head of the Demo
cratic ticket and with Roosevelt out
as an Independent candidate the Taft
leaders thought that Mr. Taft would
have a very good chance to win.
Their expectation, or at least their
hope, was that if the Democrats
should select a reactionary to head
the ticket there might be a bolt of the
progressive element of the Democratic
party or such a feeling of resentment
on the part of this element as would
detract from Democratic solidarity.
Even the Roosevelt leaders calcu
lated upon the possibility of a situa
tion of this kind arising, and if It

should arise they have plans to con
solidate as far as possible the pro
gressive element in both parties in
support of a third ticket with Roose
velt at its head
•Wil son as Colonel's Mate.
If such a situation shall come about,
it can be stated on reliable authority
that the Roosevelt forces will make
overtures to Woodrow Wilson to take
second place on the Roosevelt ticket.
This is Interesting as indicating the
Rooseveltlan view of Wilson's Democ
racy. Roosevelt, of course, is thorough
ly familiar with Professor Wilson’s
writings and knows that up to the time
the New Jersey governor got i chaftce
to capture the Democratic presidential
nomination he was a firm believer in
the political principles advocated by
Alexander Hamilton.
Another strong objection to Governor
Wilson’s candidacy which is being
heard here on all sides, and seems to
carry considerable weight with the
leaders who will exercise a great (if
not a determining) influence in the
convention, is that Governor Wilson, if
he should be nominated and elected, in
stead of strengthening the Democratic
party in the various states where it will
have much at stake during the next
four years, in all probability would
weaken it by acting upon Independent
counsel more than upon sound Demo
cratic advice.
Governor Wilson is recognized to be
a somew hat, uncertain political quanti
ty. He is likely to fly off in a political
tangent any moment, and for reasons
which Democratic leaders would tjjink
highly inadvisable from a party stand
point. They are fearful that he will be
a disrupter rather than a harmonizer.
Map Shows Clark Strength.
On the other hand, they point to the
splendid and unexampled work of
Speaker Clark in bringing order out of
party chaos in the house of representa
tives. While an Independent man al
ways where principle is concerned.
Speaker Clark, they say, Is a reliable
Democrat. With him in the office Os
president, they believe that the Demo
cratic organization in some of the great
Northern states, whose vote is so nec
essary for Democratic success, will be
strengthened by wise appointment!
which will commend themselves to the
people, as well as be pleasing to the
party rank and file, rather than weak
ened by the selection of men wTfo will
have no interest in the party organiza
tion, and may prove inefficient admin-,
istrators.
There is on exhibition at all the ho
tels here a map of the United States
which shows in colors the. strength of
each of the respective candidates;., sot
the Democratic nomination. The states
which have declared for Speaker C'lMrk
-most of them in primary elections—'
are shown in red.
"Why not make it all red?” is the
suggestion in big black type across the*
top «f the map. It would not fake very
much red paint to do that.

Tenth District Congressman
Virtually Announces Himself
Governor.
*
I* '
BALTIMORE. June 25.—A develop
ment incident to the preliminary gath
ering of politicians in Baltimore that
directly and: vitally concerns and in
terests Georgia is the practical cer
tainty that Thomas W. Hardwick, of
the Tenth congressional district, will
enter the race for the governorship
of Georgia against Slaton and •Hall. .
Mr. Hardwick is In Baltimore, and
so are a large number of his friends.
He is outspoken and frank in his talk
concerning the governorship and un
questionably has every intention of run
ning now, although he says he will
continue his consultations with friends
a little longer yet and will make some
further personal 'nvestigations into the
Georgia situation before he announces.
Mr. Hardwick says he has received
not hundreds but thousands of letters
asking him to make the race and par
ticularly since Thqmas E. Watson has
been brought back into Georgia poli
tics so prominently and given a badge
of alleged Democracy so profusely dec
orated.
Sees Chance to Dig Watson,
Were it not for a suspected alliance
between Slaton and Watson.'Hardwick
admits he likely w-ould not consider the
Idea of tunning now, but, as it is. he
is now on the verge of an
ment.
One of Mr. Hardwick's friends points
out the significance of the fact that the
state executive committee not only has
not met to call a primary, but has not
even set a date for its meeting. This
friend says that if Hardwick announces,
which he thinks is a sure thing, the
committee will not call the primary un
til within a few days of the general
election, maybe so late as ten days be
fore. This it would have the'right to
do. and this it would do, he thinks, in
order to give the new entry time to
make a thorough canvass of the state.
Undoubtedly Mr. Hardwick feels that
his great opportunity to be elected gov
ernor is right now r and his announce
ment is regarded as practically assured
by Georgia politicians w ho have talked
with him in Baltimore in the past 24
hours.
Undoubtedly Mr. Hardwick's atti
tude toward Mr. Watson is heartily ap
proved by many of the Georgia dele
gates.
