WILSON VIEW
Roosevelt Exponent Admits the
Probability of Democratic
Success—Eliminates Taft.
NEW YORK. July . ahl.-gi.nn ;
from London. in which Frank A. Mun
sey, chief advocate of Colonel Roose- j
veh's re-election, is quoted as saying
that the present situation in America
points to a chang. of political su
premacy through the administration of
affairs of the country passing into the
hands of the Democrats,'' was the sen
sation of today In political circles. Be
fore leavin'g America Mr. Munsey de
clared Roosevelt was assured of vic
tory .
The dispatch quotes Mr. Munsey as
follow s:
“The political struggle has special
significance this year, and at this par
ticular Juncture, for the reason Indica
tions just now point to a change of po
litical supremacy through the admin
istration of the affairs of the country
passing into the hands of the Demo
crats, and as it is stated that the Dem
ocrats have always been for a tariff for
revenue onlv and a tariff at times
verging on free trade —men who be
lieve in protection in the economic pol
icies that have prevailed in the Repub
lican party will naturally feel deep con
cern, even real alarm.
T. R. May Change Aspect.
"But the present view of the situa
tion may be changed with the actual I
opening of the campaign. Roosevelt has
so genuine a following, so big a fol
lowing with the voters of the country,
that nobody can predict with any con
siderable degree of accuracy what the
conditions will be in the early part of
October.
"It Is certain that he only dangerotis
opponent Wilson will have to meet Is
Roosevelt. President Taft has not fol
lowing enough to endanger Democratic
success. If the election of a president
Is wrested from the Democratic party,
it will be done by Roosevelt, and,
difficult as this looks at the present
time, it is, nevertheless, an easy pos
sibility.
"There are tyaturally many difficulties
in the way of a brand new party, but
difficulties are always worse in perspec
tive.’’
“People Will Have
Their Say”—T. R.
OYSTER BAY. N Y„ July 25. Colo
nel Roosevelt laughed today over the
opinion expressed by Elections Com
missioner Livingston, of Brooklyn, that
under the law there can be no third
part.v electors in New York state this
fall.
"Preposterous!” exclaimed Colonel
Roosevelt. "The idea advanced by Mr.
Livingston is merely ad. lopment of
the attitude of the national committee
that the people have no voice in their
own affairs. The national committee
stands for rule by the professional pol
iticians. That's what Mr. Livingston
wants.
"What Mr. Livingston fails to un
derstand is that the politician, the of
fice holder, is the servant of the peo
ple. He will come to that later on.
The people are going to have their say
about the putting of electors on the
ticket.
"We are going to have a third ticket
In the state this fall. Mr Livingston
will find that out Nothing can pre
vent it."
The ex-president maintained that
nothing under the law can stop the
third party putting up a set of elec
tors by petition.

ON GEORGIA POLITICS
who in (he affection of a dog be

Conic, shed a tear with in?!
Over the grave of dear old Mack,
Whose destiny I ran not track.
Although he trailed for me!”
Thus, with the sweet and solemn em
phasis <>f a genuine and gentle poet,
pleaded Representative Converse, of
Lowndes. Wednesday, when the house
had before it a bill framed to abolish the
dog tax in Georgia
They've gotta quit kicking Converse’s
dawg around, that's all.” said Represen
tative <’arl Vinson, as the gentleman from
Lowndes resumed his seat.
Representative Wilson, of Gwinnett, was
more practical in his view of the matter,
lie --fated to the house frankly that he
would like to come back and be a mem
ber of the next legislature, and there
wasn't any use in a man trying to do that
thing ami vote for a tax on dogs at the
samp time.
“It's not that I love dogs less, Mr.
Speaker,'' .said Mr. Wilson, “but that I
love my popularity at home more. It
may seem te undignify a dog. In away,
to deny him the right to be taxed as
something, but this doggone dog tax is
unpopular in my county, and I am agin
it!”
If the bill passes the house, which
seems likely. it will practically repeal the
present dog law. It came Into the house
with an adverse report, which, if adopt
ed. would leave things as they now are;
hut the house very emphatically sat down
upon that adverse report.
The present dog law gets something
like $175,000 pet annum into the treasury.
And, while the average legislator, espe
cially of the rural persuasion, approves
of that oh, you vote back home that is
adverse to a dog tax!
A very serious-minded member of
the Georgia legislature is seeking to
frame a law whereby members may
he prevented absolutely from dodging
votes now and then. A correct idea
of nothing whatever to look forward
to is the consummation of this seri
ous-minded member’s ambition.
Senator William H. Ennis, who is a
farmer as well as a statesman, thinks
then* is nothing Georgia could do that
would be so helpful to the farmers as to
provide for a soil analysis wherever re
quest ed.
“The very nub of the fertilizer difficul
ty’s confronting the farmers of Georgia,”
said the senator, discussing this idea, “is
their ignorance of the quality of the soils
they undertake to cultivate.
“A farmer in one section, cultivating
one kind of soil, may get a maximum of
return from a ton of guano, while a
farmer, equally as skilled in tilling the
soil, in another section, may get 50 per
• ••nt less return from the very same qual
ity of guano one land may need potash,
another may not, one may be rich in this
thing, and the other in that. It Is foolish
to suppose that a fertilizer adapted to
the uses of Eloyd counts Is necessarily
adapted as well to the necessities of
<'larke, or Muscogee.
“Now. then. If a farmer, desiring to fer
tilize his soil as it should hr, might send
a sample of that soil to one of our agri-
Beveridge Out
For New Party
INDIANAPOLIS, July 25. Former
United States Senator Albert J. Beve
ridge has announced himself as strong
ly in favor of progressive (new party)
movement in a length' letter from his
summer home at Seal Harbor. Maine,
to progressive leaders here. Mr. Bev
eridge gives his answer to thousands
of letters received from Indiana asking
where he stands In the political situa
tion.
Beveridge points out that the status
of both Roosevelt and Taft is exactly
the same as before the Chicago con
vention and declares that the matter
of "party regularity" should not now
be binding because Taft was not nom
inated by a lawful majority of dele
gates honestly chosen.
Mr. Beveridge also points out that
the present crisis presents an oppor
tunity for progressives of all sections
and patties to unite in the overthrow
of boss control.

cultural colleges, with a request for
analysis and recommendation, wouldn’t
that be a great thing?
"Soil analyses would save the farmers
of Georgia thousands of dollars annually."
concluded the senator, "and the state
could do a fine thing by equipping the ag
ricultural department Is such wise that it
might provide for the same.”
The very day after the Tippins bill
passed the senate, an esteemed con
temporary bid the Macon boosters "a
cordial welcome” to this fair city.
Surely, in the face of that. Macon
can not doubt Atlanta's genuine hos
pitality.
Representative Adams, of Hall, will be
a candidate for speaker pro tern of the
next house, to which he confidently ex
pects to be elected.
He will be opposed by Representative
Cheney, of Cobb, and perhaps others, as
that race bids fair to be a very pretty one,
indeed.
Representatives Adams and Cheney
were classmates at Dahlonega back in the
'9o's, and are the warmest ot friends.
The fight between them will be one of
unusual good nature.
Both are high-class men, and either
would make a most acceptable official, no
doubt.
From a financial standpoint, the
business of explaining votes on a roll
call in the legislature Is rather ex
pensive. Otherwise, it is an abso
lutely and utterly harmless pastime.
Representative Payton, of Worth, has
introduced a bill which provides that
members of the legislature shall be
"docked" $4 per day for every day they
are absent from their legislative duties
without lit and proper excuse. The bill
stipulates that failure to answer a roll
call. for whatever purpose, shall be con
sidered constructive absence.
Mr. Payton has no patience whatevei
with vote dodgers. He hates them,
scorns them, and would have them held
up to public contempt, and particularly
would he deprive them of any coin of the
realm to which they are not unquestion
ably entitled.
It may be that the gentleman will be
able to round them up on all roll-calls
through the operation of his proposed
law, If he can get it on the statute books,
but there are those who doubt it.
Perhaps he might have achieved his
purpose by proposing to make it a mis
demeanor to dodge a vote, or a felony.
Pertain It is that there are members
who would cheerfully pay a mere paltry
$4, rather than take a recorded stand on
some things.
Why should woman not practice law
in Georgia, if she wishes to. breth
ren? Besides, she says she is going
to, doesn't she?
Frank Rhodes likely will be one of lhe
members for Clarke in the next house of
representatives.
Mr. Rhodes is very confident that he is
to win his fight, and his friends claim
that there Is no doubt about it whatever
Mr. Rhodes Is a frequent visitor to At
lanta, where he is almost as well known,
and equally as well liked, as he is back
home.
STORK INCREASES

OF SLAYER’S VICTIM
Friends today made happy a helpless
mother with a new-born babe. The

home of Mrs. Aaron Morris, widow of
the barber who was stabbed to death
last winter while defending a white
woman from a vicious negro. Morris
left three orphan children. But for
friends, the family would have been
destitute.
Just after the murder of the father
a fund of $2,000 was subscribed for the
family. It was put In trust, but the In
come Is too small to supply the needs
of the mother and her four babes.
Dr. J. G. Earnest donated his medical
attention and several women supplied
other needs. The mother and child are
reported to be doing nicely.

MIKADO’S STRENGTH
ALMOST GONE; DEATH
MATTER OF FEW DAYS
TOKIO, July 25. —There’was a change
for the worse in the condition of Em
peror Mutushito today. His fever in
creased considerably, according to the
bulletin Issued by the court physicians.
Persistent rumors that the mikado
had died and that the government was
concealing his death were circulated
during the morning, but these were de
nied by Dr. Muira this afternoon. ‘
The patient's high fever has slowly
worn down his strong constitution, and
court attendants declared today that
the end was only a matter of days.
That the mikado's condition was crit
ical was shown by the following bulle
tin issued this afternoon:
"Temperature, 100.7; pulse and res
piration rather irregular, being 105 and
37, respectively. The emperor is in a
slightly restless condition and his con
dition of general exhaustion is becom
ing more noticeable."

PREACHER,’THREATENED,
HAS GUN-MAN ARRESTED
ROME. GA.. July 25.—" Get back in

out,” Jim Wilkerson is alleged to have
said to Rev. J. H. Bailey, pastor of the
Lindale Baptist church, when the lat
ter admonished the former for cursing
in front of the preacher's home.
Wilkerson and a number of men
were drunk, it is claimed, and were
talking loud and swearing near Bai
ley’s home. The preacher came out
and told the men to move on. Wilker
son pulled out his pistol and, pointing
it at the minister, commanded him to
get back in the house. The good man
retreated with his hands held up, and
soon thereafter swore out a warrant
for Wilkerson. The latter is in jail
here now waiting trial.
