4 MUTO ‘FEHRS' 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. Colonel to Attend Illinois Convention <’HlCA<s(i. July 25. That Colonel Theodore Roosevelt would attend the meeting of the Illinois Bull Moose con vention at Orchestra hall on the Satur day preceding the national third party convention heie was announced today by the progressive leaders. Governor Hiram Johnson of Califor . nla and Gifford Dim-hot. former , hl, f forester of the I'nited States, also willl be here for the Illinois convention.

Mr. Thomas say the resignation follows a personal in vestigation of the nominal on of Pres ident Taft.

July 25 A lack of pressure in the watei mains caused a loss of s4o,nun as a result of a fire early today in the Hudson County Catholic protectory at Aiiington, N 1 The fl e was discovered when 15” boy.-, inmates of the home, "ere at mass In the chapel near by The-, helped fight the flames with a bucket brigade. SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS who in (he affection of a dog be lieve. • 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. No Third Party Ticket in Oregon PORTLAND. OREG.. July 25. The third part' convention to name five delegates to the national convention in t'hieago was scheduled to meet here to day. The leaders will not put a third party ticket in the field here. The call for the convention was issued by the National Progressive club of Oregon, of which Charles W. Ackerson, one of Oregon's delegates to the Republican national convention, is tile head. Seven hundred delegates attended the convention. The meeting was called to o il, i bj Stale Senator Dan Kellaher. The day's session was turned over largely to orators. The naming of del egates was put over until the night session DALTON FIXES TAX RATE. I'ALTON, GA., July 25. City coun cil has fixed the tax rate for the eur i' nt year at $1.50 on the slni).

By JAMES B. NEVIN. 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 DESTITUTE FAMILY OF SLAYER’S VICTIM Friends today made happy a helpless mother with a new-born babe. The stork last, night brought a girl to 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. SEABOARD NEW YORK PHILADELPHIA BALTIMORE WASHINGTON RICHMOND NORFOLK Through Service. Convenient Schedules FRED GEISSLER, A. G. P.

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.

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.
