HE BIRTHRIGHT
OFT.R.’SPARH’
Representative Bartholdt De
fends Taft’s Nomination and
Scores Roosevelt.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. —In the second
of a series of campaign speeches now be
ing made in congress by Taft Republicans
against Theodore Roosevelt, Representa
tive Bartholdt, of Missouri, charac
terized the leader of the Bull Moose party
as a man who had tried to club the presi
dential nomination out of his party and
whose Progressive organization had a “lie
for its birthright."
The ■ Missourian charged the Roosevelt
men had attempted to contest elections of
delegations where there was no valid
reason for such action. He cited Cali
fornia and Washington as two states
where it had been indisputably shown
that the Taft delegates had been honestly
elected.
Representative Bartholdt explained his
knowledge of the cases by stating that he
had held the proxy of Secretary of Com
merce and Labor Nagel in the national
committee.
“When we are unjustly assailed we have
a right, not only to defend ourselves, but
to inquire into the motives of the assail
ant," he said. “Let me open the Inquiry
with This question: Do you believe the
national committee would have devoted
ten days to their painstaking and exhaust
ing work if they could have realized that
there was but one real Republican candi
date before the convention? Would wide
publicity have been allowed? Would all
of the meetings heen held openly?
“Misplaced Confidence.”
"Many delegates had their misgivings.
They remembered that in the widely ad
vertised Columbus speech the name Re
publican was not even mention,;,.,
they still felt confident that no man woub
have the audacity to ask for a presiden
tial nomination at the hands of a Repub
lican convention when at heart he was no
longer a Republican. In the light of later
events we know that this was a case of
misplaced confidence; in other words that
Mr. Roosevelt never intended to abide by
the decision of the convention, except he
himself should be the nominee.
“We know now that it was an ordinary
hold-up, not even without the customary
threat: ‘Your money or your life," which
was changed to 'Give me the nomination
or I’ll kill you.’ We can go further and
say when the Oyster Bay candidate made
up his mind to violate all American tradi
tions of political decency and go to Chi
cago at the very moment when he knew
he was beaten, that he expected to save
the day by personal appeal to the dele
gates through persuasion, promises, coer
cion or threats. He came with treachery
in his heart and thoroughly determined to
bolt if things went against him. The cry
of fraud was premeditated and the
shameful ejaculation of thieves with
which he shocked his autnence In his en
trance into Chicago was the battle cry
of the new party. *
All Entitled to Seats.
"If the national committee had heeded
the injunction, ’Thou shalt not steal ex
cept for me,’ °.h would have been well,
but its determination to do its work con
scientiously brought all the pre-arranged
plans of party treacherj- to their full
bloom. A new party was born, but is it
not bound to be still born? Can a party
live or ought it to live with a He as its
birthright? The national committee is not
entitled to any credit for the faithful per
formance of its duty. There was not a
single delegate at the Chicago convention
who was not thorughly entitled to a seat
there and consequently President Taft
■was honestly nominated."

T. R. to Speak at
Tuesday’s Session
CHICAGO. Aug. I.—A change of
plans for the Progressive national con
vention has been announced by the
committee on arrangements. The Mon
day evefiing session, at which Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt was to have ad
dressed the gathering, has been aban
doned. Instead, the colonel will deliver
his speech at Tuesday's session.
The convention will be called to or
der at noon next Monday. Ralph Otis,
chairman of the arrangements commit
tee and of the Illinois Progressive com
mittee, will call the convention to or
der. Prayer will be offered and then
the gavel will be presented to Senator
Joseph M. Dixon, chairman of the pro
visional national committee. Dixon, in
turn, will present Albert J. Beveridge
as temporary chairman and the former
senator will deliver his keynote speech.
Reading of the temporary roll and the
appointment of committees will com
plete Monday's work.
Tuesday the permanent organization
of the convention will be completed,
and then Roosevelt will be formally in
vited to come before the convention.
He will be brought to the Coliseum by
a specially appointed committee and
will deliver the address he has pre
pared as a statement of his beliefs and
the objects of the new party.
If the organization is completed rap
idly and the address of the former
president is over early Enough, the res
olutions committee will probably
make its report and the platform be
adopted Tuesday night, leaving Wed
nesday clear for the nominations of
president and vice president. If the
speech is not completed until late ir.
the afternoon, the platform will go over
until Wednesday, ami it will be adopted
and the nominations made before ad
journment on that day.

Governor Brown’s veto of the Tip
pins Dili may have disappointed and
,distressed some people, but it should
have surprised no one.
As plainly and as unequivocally as
mortal man might say anything, he
said in his fight for the governorship
last fall that he would do tile very
thing he did do yesterday.
Tite Tippins bill was distinctly an
issue in the last, fight for the governor
ship. The issue was made, and the
governor accepted it on definite and
specific terms. The legislature had the
Tippins bill before it when Governor
Brown was a candidate.
Judge Russell said lie would veto the
bill if se,nt to him, in the event of his
election, unconditionally. Pope Brown
said he would sign it. Governor .Brown
said he would veto it. unless it carried
a referendum to the people.
There never was any reason to think
any one of the candidates would do oth
erwise than keep his definite word of
honor to the people of Georgia, once
their opinion was registered.
The legislature distinctly refuset| to
attach the referendum clause, after
Governor Brown had won out, and it
should be not the least surprised today
that it has a vetoed and a practically
defunct Tippins bill on its hands.
Tlie situation seems absurdly simple
—Governor Brown has done exactly
what he promised ho would do.
The point is. Governor Brown's idea
received a majority indorsement of the
people, as expressed in their county
•init votes.
“Little Toe” neither begged the
question nor anybody’s pardon!
William J Nunnally, of Rome, has
announced himself a candidate for the
house from Floyd. and expects to be
one of that county’s three members in
(be next legislature.
“Joe" Nunnallv served two terms as
solicitor general of the Rome judicial
circuit several years ago. and has filled
.an unexnired term as judge of the c’tv
court of Floyd county. He is well
known throughout north Georgia, and
is particularly strong In Floyd county.
Ho is the son of Rev. J H. Nunnally,
one of the best known and most gen
erally beloved Baptist ministers in the
state.
Judge Nunnally is distinctly the sort
of material from which high-class leg
islators are made and his election from
Floyd will be a matter of advantage to
the state.
It evidently is going to ho neces
sary to keep the idea well in mind
that, primarily anyway, the fight in
the Tentli congressional district is
a fight between Fleming and Hard
wick, not Watson and Hardwick.
There are some mean members of the
present legislature.
Representative Claude Payton re
cently made a particularly eloquent
speech on the floor of the house.
The gentleman from Worth is an ora.
torical looking person. He is adbrned
with extensive locks of a rippling and
wavy sort, sometimes described as am
brosial. As a matter of fact, he Is quite
a handsome man. and had he been an
actor instead of a legislator, he un
questionably would have been a matinee
hero.
Tlie day Mr Payton wa« speaking, he
talk l d his subject up one side and down
the other. He dressed it in rhetorical

grandeur and garlanded it with ever
greens. atfd so on.
After the gentleman had been at it
for some thirty minutes, and just as he
was reaching forth for a climax of par
ticular impressiveness, Mr. McElreath
of Fulton arose and inquired: .
"Would the gentleman mind stating
which side of this question he is on?”
That was a pretty mean jolt, too —
but it never worried Mr. Payton. He
knew w hich side he was on, if the gen
tleman from Fulton didn't.
"Little Joe's” disinclination to
call a spade something else than a
spade grows more and more marked
as the years go by.
The congregation will please rise and
sing the doxology!
Mr. Wohlwender of Muscogee has at
last prevailed upon the house rules
committee to put senate bill No. 88 on
the calendar tor a fixed date!
For weary weekS Mr. Wohlwender
has sougnt to browbeat or persuade the
steam roller manipulators into giving
this pet measure a chance—-at least, a
run for its money before the house.
He lias matte ,a number of speeches
on tne floor, with senate bill No, 88 as
his text, and the language he lias em
ployed, particularly with reference to
the rules committee and its arbitrary
meanness and general all around cuss
euness, lias nattily been tit to print.
It had about reached the point in the
house where Wohlwender’s every cry of
"Mr. Speaker!" was terrifying in the
extreme. Every time, it sounded, the
rest of the house felt sure that Wohl
wender was going to read that old riot
act all over again to "Boll" Hardeman
and his outfit! »
Something byway of light finally
penetrated tile sometimes seemingly
thick intelligence of the rules commit
tee, and simultaneously, perhaps, a
symptom of kindness got into its heart,
fur it agreed yesterday that the time
was at hand when Wohlwender either
must be placated or assassinated—so
old No. 88 goes on the calendar Mon
day, and Wohlwender will not have any
good and sutiicient excuse for deliver
ing that terrible arraignment any more!
The rules committee is firmly con
vinced. at last, that it is an awful thing
to have Wohlwender on its trail—that
there can be no peace for it, indeed,
until he has been permitted to catch up!

FORMER BANDIT
SEEKING OFFICE
“Al” Jennings. Reformed, Runs
for County Attorney—Onfte
Under Life Sentence.
\
OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. I.—The
most remarkable candidacy for nomi
nation to office at the approaching Au
gust primaries in Oklahoma is that of
“Al” Jennings, former outlaw and train
robber, once sentenced to life imprls-e
onment and then pardoned. Jennings
is seeking the office of county attorney
of Oklahoma county on the Democratic
ticket. He has made such an effective
campaign that wagers are being freely
offered that he will be nominated and
elected.
Jennings is practicing law in Okla
homa City. When his candidacy was
announced it was not taken seriously.
However, a surprising change has taken
place in the last six weeks. Jennings
has the support of many of the most
influential men of Oklahoma, including
ministers, lawyers, church members,
members of civic organizations and
public officials. One of the leading
newspapers of Oklahoma City is help
ing him.
Had Jennings triad to dodge his j
criminal record he might have made |
little progress in his campaign. But 1
he did not, and on the platform and in
the newspapers admitted the facts of ,
his past career, told what he had done,
said that his misfortunes were due to
the blunders of youthful folly and law
less enviionment, and then defied his
enemies to point to a single misstep In |
had made since liberated from prison i
nine or ten years ago.

When the blood becomes infected with any unhealthy humor the es
feet is shown by boils, pimples, and rashes or eruptions on the skin. Humors
get into the blood usually because of an inactive condition of the elimina
tive members. Thus unhealthy matter is left in the system to sour and
ferment and be absorbed into the circulation. Remove these humorsand
no skin trouble can exist, because its very source is then removed. Boils,
Brashes, pimples, etc. can never be cured through
the application of external medicines, because such
treatment can have no possible effect on the blood;
the most to be obtained from such measures is tem
porary relief. S. S. S. CURES all skin affections
because it purifies the blood. It goes down intc
the circulation and cleanses it of every particle of
unhealthy matter. Then the blood exercises its
normal function of supplying nourishment to the cu
ticle instead of irritating it with a fiery humor. II
you have any skin trouble you could not do better
than purify your blood with S. S. S. It doesnot “patch up” it cures.
