NIUNSEY THUS’
WILSON Iffl
Roosevelt Exponent Admits the
Probability of Democratic
Success—Eliminates Taft.
NEW YORK, July 25 A cablegram I
from London, in which Frank A Mun
sey, thief advocate of Colonel ao"»>-
velt's re-election,' is quoted as saying
that the present situation in America
points to "a change 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 tn political circles. Be
fore leaving 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 only -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 he changed with the actual
opening of the campaign. Roosevelt has j
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 i
October,
“It Is certain that he only dangerous]
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 prestent
time, it is, nevertheless, an easy pos
sibility.
“There are naturally 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
party electors in New York state this
fall.
"Preposterous!” exclaimed Colonel
Roosevelt. "The idea advanced by Mr.
Livingston is merely a development of
the attitude of the national commitlee
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.

Elector Resigns
CHAMPAIGN. ILL., July 25. -c. D.
Thomas, nominated for presidential
elector on the Republican ticket, has
resigned. In a letter to the slate Re
publican committee, Mr. Thomas says
the resignation follows a personal in

“The so-called nomination of Taft,”

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
“You. who in the affection of a dog be
lieve, •
Cotne. shed a tear with me'
Over the grave of dear old Mack,
Whose destiny I can not track,
Although ho trailed for me!”
Thus, with the sweet and solemn em
phasis of a genuine and gentle poet,
pleaded Kepresentative Converse, of
Igowndes, Wednesday, when the house
had before it a bill framed to abolish the
dug tax in Georgia.
’They’ve gotta quit kicking Converse’s
dawg around, that* 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.
He stated to tile house frankly that he
would like to come bark and be a mem
ber of the next legislature, and there
wasn’t any use in a man trying to do that
thing and vote for a tax on dogs at the
same 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 to 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 have things as they now are;
but the house very emphatically sat down
upon that adverse report.
The present dog law gets something
like $175,000 per annum Into the treasury.
And. while the average legislator, espe
cially of the rural persuasion, approves
nf that <>h, 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
be 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
there is nothing Georgia could do that
would be so helpful to the farmers as to
provide for a soil analysis wherever re
quested.
“The very nub of the fertilizer difficul
t’vs 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 ol
return from a ton of guano, while a
farmer, equally as skilled in tilling the
soil, In another section, may get 50 per
cent 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 Floyd county is necessarily
adapted as well to the necessities of
Clarke. 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 points out that the status
of both Roosevelt and Taft is exactly
the same as before the Chicago con

of "party regularity" should not now
be binding because Taft was not nom

Mr. Beveridge also points out that

Representative Adams, of Hall, will he
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 of friends.
The light between them will be one of

Both are high-class men, and either

Friends today made happy a helpless
mother with a netw-born babe. The
stork last night brought a girl to the

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 top 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.

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

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 genera! exhaustion is becom
ing more noticeable."

ROME. GA.. July 25.—" Get back in

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

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
