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.

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.

The body was found floating in the water not deep enough to drown any one even at high tide. CURRENT SWEEPS MAN OVER TALLULAH FALLS TO HIS DEATH IN POOL TALLULAH FALLS. GA.. July 29. L. B.

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. , Massee Must Appear Before Judge Sease SPARTANBURG, S. July 29.—W. J.

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 Frank Edmondson A Bro.. 14 South Broad street and 106 North Pryor street.

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 chants who come io Atlanta the benefit of these sales. At our clearance sale of August 6, we will dose out 1,000 CASES OF SHOES.
