TAFT'S CASE LIKE
LORIMER'S,®
ROOSEVELT
u Men Who Defend G. 0. P.
Convention and Lorimer Stand
on Same Moral Plane.”
i
OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 29.—Colo
nel Theodore Roosevelt today reiter
sted his charges that President Taft
w as dishonestly renominated in Chi
cago. In reply to the defense of the
convention's action issued by the white
house yesterday the ex-president issued
, statement declaring that “downright
theft” had been committed by Taft
ieutenants, and had it not been for
this the president's renomination would
have been absolutely Impossible.
Colonel Roosevelt condemns the Taft
defense as similar to that of Senator
Lorimer by those who sought to pre
vent the Illinois man from being ousted
by the senate.
In concluding his statement, Colonel
Roosevelt said:
“It is no mere coincidence that at
least nine-tenths of the senatorial lead
ers in the theft of the Chicago conven
tion were also leaders in the fight to
retain Mr. Lorimer in his seat in the
senate —Messrs. Penrose, Guggenheim,
Gallinger and Crane, for instance. The
two cases stand on a par.
Fundamentally Like Lorimer Case.
■ The successful theft and fraud which
resulted in Mr. Taft’s nomination in
Chicago made a piece of political work
which fundamentally from the stand
point of decent politics and honest pop
ular government deserves to rank with
the proceedings which culminated in
the election of Mr. Lorimer to the sen
ate and his retention in the senate for
over two years after the mass of hon
est citizens had fully determined that
he should leave. There are politicians
.ind newspapers who continue to up
hold Mr. Lorimer’s innocence and to
assert that there was nothing improper
Fitting Trusses
ANY clerk can’t fit a truss properly.
It requires a professional under
standing of the human form and a
long experience in fitting many pecu
liarities to give you a truss that will
benefit you and not aggravate the trou
ble.
Anri rupture is far too serious to take
chances with it

about his election. Almost all of these
politicians and newspapers and some
others in addition make precisely simi
lar assertions that there was no fraud
or yhefts of delegates at the Chicago
convention. One assertion has pre
cisely as much merit as the other.
Stand on Same Moral Plane.
"It is as idle to assert that Mr. Taft
was honestly nominated in Chicago as
to assert that Mr. Lorimer was hon
estly elected to the United States sen
ate. The beneficiaries of. participants
in, and defenders of the action of the
fraudulent Republican national conven
tion at Chicago stand on the same
moral plane as those men who brought
about Mr. Lorimer’s election to the
senate and after his election sought to
retain him in the senate.
"The fraudulent nomination of Mr.
Taft can be defended only upon
grounds which would also justify Mr.
Lorimer’s election to and his retention
in the senate.”
The ex-president dictated his state
ment as he paced the veranda at Saga
more Hill.
He punctuated the dictation by shak
ing his fist.
DORCAS SNODGRASS,
MISSING GIRL, FOUND
DROWNED IN CREEK
CATSKILL. N Y.. July 29. The body
of a young woman found in Catskill
creek last night was practically identi
fied today as that of Dorcas lyams
Snodgrass, the Mount Vernon society
girl and nurse who has been missing
for nearly two weeks.
On a band of her chemise was found
the name "I Snodgrass.” The cloth
allowed marked traces of the action of
the water in which the body was found
and it is believed in this way the first
name was erased.
How Miss Snodgrass met her death is
still a mystery and an autopsy may be
performed to determine if she died by
drowning or was murdered and her body
then thrown into the water.
Relatives of Miss Snodgrass insist that
she had no motive for wishing to end her
life The theory of the police here is still
that she was either drugged or poisoned
and her body then removed to the place
where It was found, from one of the
many yachts plying the Hudson.
The body was found floating in the
water not deep enough to drown any one
even at high tide.

WONDERFUL FISHING
AND HUNTING AT
SARASOTA, FLA.
Sarasota Is situated 70 miles south of
Tampa on beautiful Sarasota Bay, and
has long been recognized by sportsmen
the world over as the premier fishing
ground of North America. Many At
lantans have enjoyed its hunting and
fishing and have bought their homes
there. The seeker after recreation, if
he is a lover of hunting, has only to
pick up his gun and go out for quail,
wild duck, wild turkey and other feath
ered game, while deer, bear and other
large game abound. If he likes swim
ming, boating or surf bathing, he has
either the Sarasota Bay- or the magnifi
cent beaches and waters of the Gulf of
Mexico at hand. If he wants fishing,
where in the civilized world can he find
anything to surpass or even equal that
of Sarasota? It is here that the world
renowned Tarpon Ih caught in greatest
number, this being, seemingly, its na
tural habitat.
The wonderful attractiveness of this
section Is shown in the rapid advance
in property values, the only available
locations upon the famed Indian Beach
having been almost entirely absorbed
by wealthy Northerners who have
elected palatial homes there, among
them being the Ringling Brothers of
circus fame; I'aptain Purdy, retired
IT. S. naval officer; Owen Burns, <’hl
cago capitalist; Mrs Potter Palmer,
who is Investing millions of dollars
there, and many other notables. The
Indian Beach Land Company, repre
sented in Atlanta by R. F. Bowler, 1607
Fourth National Bank building, have
the only available subdivision in this
ultra-exclusive section. They are of
fering 93 elegant building lots at re
markably low prices and on most lib
eral terms. It will probably be the last
opportunity the public will have to se
cure anything in this desirable section,
and Mr. Bowler will be pleased to send
to interested parties attractive litera
ture relative to the fishing and hunting,
as well as descriptions, prices and terms
upon which these lots may be bought.

MASSEE CASE IIP
TO 5. CAROLINA
Tennessee Governor Is Deter
mined to Let Authorities of
Sister State Take Action.
NASHVILLE, TENN., July 29. Gov
ernor Ben W. Hooper said today that
he was determined to let the contro
versy- over the W. J. Massee extradi
tion be settled by the executive and the
courts of South Carolina. He was im
portuned to do this after the counsel
against Mr. Massee had urged him that
the case was not given a fair hearing
in Georgia In either instance when it
was presented.
Some rather spicy information is said
to have been conveyed to the governor
on this line, but he gave out none of
that upon which he based the recall of
the revocation that he issued after he
had found that his secretary had un
wittingly issued requisition papers In
the case.
This, it is claimed, was a violation of
a verbal agreement that Governor
Hooper had made with James B. Cox,
United States district attorney at
Knoxville, attorney for Massee, to the
effect that the case was not one that
would justify the pursuit of a man
from one state to another for extradi
tion. After attorneys for R. M. Wil
liams, the prosecutor of Massee. had
presented to the governor of Tennessee
the report that they had never been
given a fair hearing in Georgia, Gov
ernor Hooper, without accepting or re
jecting the statement, decided to allow
the case to be passed on by the South
Carolina authorities. The attorneys for
the prosecution are Harry S. Stokes,
now in Spartanburg, and Judge John A.
Pitts, both of city. ,

“CASE-HARDENED”
AD MAN WRITES
Who else would dare make this offer?
We quote from a letter from H M.
Johnson. Vice President of The Daily Re
public, Rockford. Illinois.
"In the 27 years thai it has been my
business to deal with copy of all kinds I
have never seen more convincing, logical
and forceful ads than those you are send
ing out They have a ring of sincerity
and the statements have the tone of be
ing a recital of facts that should inspire
confidence. They have so Impressed a
case-hardened ad man that he is exceed
ingly curious’to know If It really does the
wonderful things recited."
In reply we sent Editor Johnson some
convincing literature, following it up with
the statement that if he knew of a definite
case of Bright's Disease, a. worthy person
to whom our aid would mean something,
that we would send a course of Fulton's
Renal Compound in an attempt to estab
lish the genuineness of the claims made in
the very shadows of The Republic's Edi
torial Rooms. We added that we do not
claim recoveries in all cases and might
make a failure, but that we would take
the chance, and trusted within three
months to show such results that the pa
tient would be In comfort and would have
new heart and courage in the reasonable
probability that recovery could ultimately
be had.
Ask yourself this question—would any
body else In the world dare make this
offer?
Fulton’s Renal Compound can be had at

street and 106 North Pryor street.

SPECIAL GRAND JURY
DEMANDED TO PROBE
WHIPPING AT DAWSON
MACON, GA., July 29.—Attorneys for
Essie Carter have demanded of Judge W.
C. Worrill, of Cuthbert, that he convene
a special grand Jury In Terrell county to
investigate the recent flogging of the girl.
They declare that public sentiment de
mands that this affair be closely investi
gated, and that an investigation is pecu
liarly desirable because of the fact that
W. S. Dozier, the man accused. Is clerk of
the superior court of Terrell county.
Judge Worrill's reply is expected this
week.
Mayor John T. Moore, of Macon, is In
receipt of more than a hundred letters
from many states accusing him of cow
ardice for not having arrested Dozier and
the others who participated in the flog
ging As the affair did not take place in
Macon, the mayor feels that he is being
unjustly criticised.

HOW’S YOUR /
CIRCULATION?
Strychnine would hardly be called a
healthy medicine, and yet every good doc
tor gives strychnine as a stimulant for a
weak heart. It helps the circulation.
Just so in a season like this, a few floor
goods bought right might stimulate some
stagnant stock you have, and help your
whole proposition.
For several years we have been visited
twice a year by bargain houses of Phila
delphia and Baltimore who would clean
up our odds and ends.
We are led to believe that lots of these
are sold right bark to Southern merchants
who visit those markets, of course at a
profit, to cover the expense of the buyers
they send out, never to speak of the
freight both ways.
We have decided t|> give our home mer

these sales.
At our clearance sale of August 6, we
