New Party Expects to Poll 20.-

I
, in November.
I BENNINGTON, VT„ Aug. 29 Colo-
■ nel Roosevelt started his three days
i campaign in Vermont today with a
j bristling speech at the ball grounds
| here, in which he attacked the Demo
cratic and Republican parties for their
■ boss rule.
I "If you want to govern yourselves
land not have the venal boss —such as
the Penrose type—do it, then you will
have to come with us," exclaimed the
colonel.
The crowd gave the ex-president a
rousing greeting. Roosevelt was in
formed by his workers here that a de
cided Progressive sentiment exists in
the state. James R. Garfield, former
secretary of the interior under Roose
velt who has been stumping the state,
met the colonel on his arrival with en
couraging words.
Crowded Meeting
Everywhere, Says Garfield.
"We have had crowded meetings ev
‘ erywhere and intense enthusiasm.” he
said.
’ The Bull Moose leader said he ex-
I pected Dr. Frazer Metzger, Progressive
j candidate for governor, to poll 20,000
> votes at the election next Tuesday,
“That means," quoted Garfield, "that
the election for governor will go into
I the state legislature. It also means
I that Roosevelt will 'carry the state in
i November."
Roosevelt reached North Bennington
lat 8:50 o’clock this morning by train
j and drove here by automobile. At sta
tions along the way crowds yelled for
him. but it was too early for the colo
nel to be up. He was cheered by im
i mense throngs on the streets here.
"Hooray for the big Bull Moose!” was
the cry that filled the air.
The colonel will then spend Sftnday
at Sagamore Hill, when he will make
public his letter to Senator Clapp,
chairman of the senate sub-committee
which is investigating expenditures in
the 1909 and 1908 campaigns. In his
letter Roosevelt will answer the testi
mony of Senator Penrose and John D.
Archbold, denying that he knew of
immense contributions which the
Standard Oil Company was making to
his cause.
The colonel said he would tell in his
letter the same story he would have
told had he gone on the witness stand.
Colonel Roosevelt in going into Ver
mont is invading a hostile state. The
third term candidate will bring into ac
tion his heaviest guns in an endeavor
to swing it into the Progressive column.
Progressive Vote
Light In Primary
DETROIT. Aug. 29.—Amos S Musel
man. of Grand Rapids, has received the
Republican nomination for governor
according to returns today from the
state-wide primary of Tuesday. The
race was close, but today’s figures show
Muselman leading Fred C. Martindale
by a trifle over 3.000 votes, out of a
total of about 70,000 cast.
The Progressive vote throughout the
state was very light. Figures so far
received show that only a little over
2,000 were cast in the entire state. Os
these, about 700 were polled in Detroit
There were no contests between Pro
gressive candidates, and this, according
to the state leaders of the new party,
Is the reason for the light vote.
A test of the primary law may be
made by the Democrats of Ingham
county. The law requires that a vote
equal to 15 per cent of the vote cast
for the secretary of state at the pre
ceding election be polled at the pri
maries in order to make the nomination
effective. In many Instances the vote,
owing to lack of contests, was under
the required 15 per cent.

D. A. R. STATE REGENT
DEPLORES GEORGIA
FLAG DESECRATION
Mrs. Sheppard W. Foster, state re
gent of the Georgia D. A. R., today con
demned the desecration of the flag of
Georgia at the capitol and praised The
Georgian for calling attention to the
incident. Mrs. Foster said:
As state regent of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, I wish
to thank you for your article in
Wednesday afternoon’s paper inde
fense of the Georgia flag.
The lack of respect by the Amer
ican people for the flag of our na
tion has so engaged the attention
of the National Society of th«-
Daughters of the American Revo
lution that a standing committee
has been appointed on "the preven
tion of the desecration of the flag.”
We as a nation are expected to
pay respect to foreign flags, then
how much more important to pay
respect to our own national and
state flags.
Even though the flag you re
ferred to was tattered and worn, it
is the flag of our state and should
not have been used to walk on or
to stand upon.
Let us as citizens deplore this
act and loudly protest against such
desecration of our Georgia flag.
MRS. SHEPPARD W. FOSTER.

Daughter Removes Remains ol
Wireless King From Atlanta
With All Possible Secrecy.
YOUNG BRIDE THINKS NO
FORTUNE WAS LEFT HER
“So Far as I Know. All I Have
Is My Baby,” She Declares
in an Interview.
Removed from Atlanta at midnight
with all possible secrecy, the body of
Christopher Columbus Wilson, once
millionaire promoter and wireless king,
is back in his old home state, Texas,
there to find Its last resting place in
the little town of Terrell.
Miss Olla Wilson, the ex-magnate’s
daughter, and a brother, of Lancaster,
Texas, called for the body late yester
day afternoon, made hurried prepara
tions for the trip, and at 11:10 p. m.
left for Texas on a train from New
York, Miss Neta Wilson, another daugh
ter, was aboard the train.
While Wilson Is being taken to his
grave, a girl widow up North, who. as
Stella Lewis, was his stenographer,
faces a future much different from that
of which she dreamed when she mar
ried the wireless king.
Doesn’t Believe the
Report of Hidden Riches.
Young Mrs. Wilson is convinced that
there is no truth in the report that she
would come into about $1,000,000. said
to have been concealed by Wilson
abroad before he was arrested and im
prisoned here for fraud.
“I wish it were true,” said Mrs. Wil
son. through her sister. Miss Sarah
Lewis, at her home in Spring Valley',
N. Y., when she was asked about this.
“So far as I know he left nothing at
all to me, except our baby.”
Christopher Columbus Wilson, Jr.,
one year old. who was bom while his
father was behind the walls of the
Southern penitentiary, was creeping
joyously about the porch of the big
country house while his mother sent
out her answers.
"The funeral?” Mrs. Wilson repeat
ed. "I did not know a thing about it,
really. 1 received a telegram notifying
me of my husband's death and asking
about funeral arrangements. I was so
shocked and so ill that I turned over
the task of arranging for the burial
to Mr. Wilson's daughter. Miss Olla
Wilson, of Lancaster, Texas.”
Bride Can Not
Attend Funeral.
"The little colonel," as some of Wil
son's friends called the baby. laughed
and tried to toddle around the inter
viewer. He had only seen Ills father
once—when, because of a lax guar
dian, Wilson, who was brought North
to testify in his own bankruptcy pro
ceedings in July, managed to get out to
bis country home.
"Will you attend the funeral of Colo
nel Wilson?" was asked.
"I fear that I will not be able to."
was the young bride's reply. "But." she
hastened to explain, that is only be
cause of my physical condition. We
were most devoted to each other. Ha
was expecting to be paroled and to re
turn to a quiet life with me and our
child. When 1 received the telegram
from Atlanta I was reading an affec
tionate letter which had just come. He
wrote to me every day.
"I interrupted the letter to read the
telegram, thinking that the message
might tell of bls parole. Instead, it
told of his death. I hud to be helped
to bed, and have been here ever since.”
Reports have been printed that Miss
Lewis married Wilson so that she could
not be used as a witness against him
in his trial for using the mails to de
fraud in selling United Wireless stock.
“That is not so,” declared the young
widow yesterday. “I married Mr. Wil
son because 1 loved bim and he loved
me. His business had nothing what
ever to do with it. After he was sent
to jail—unjustly, I still believe—we
were both just as much in love with
each other as ever. I certainly did not
marry him to protect him. He needed
no protection."
"Have you engaged a lawyer to look
out for your interests in Colonel Wil
son’s estate?” was saked.
“No; I have not. I do not know that
Colonel Wilson had an estate. I only
wish that it might be true that he left
$1,000,000 or any other sum. I had been
relying upon him to come back soon
and rehabilitate our fortunes. As can
be plainly seen. I have nothing luxu
rious here.
"I am leaving everything to Colonel
Wilson's attorneys," the widow con
cluded. "I have not yet been able to
bring myself to the thought of looking
after any interests that may be mine. I
can scarcely believe that my husband
is dead and that the baby and 1 are
alone.”
