4 HOWELL CERTAIN OF DEBIM LANDSLIDE Atlantan. Home From East. Predicts Disintegration of G. 0. P. After Election. There will be no Grand Old Party of the Republican persuasion after the November election, is the belb-f of Clark Howell, Jr., Georgia member of the Democratic national committee, who returned to Atlanta from New York today, after a conference with leaders In the East. Mr. Howell says that nev er since he has been on the committee, and that means five national cam paigns. have Democratic prospect* been so bright. “I went East for a conference on the situation at the invitation of William G. McAdoo, acting national chairman,” said Mr. Howell. “I found not only Mr. McAdoo but the entire Democratic headquarters, in every department, lit erally enthusiastic over the outlook. I have been pretty closely connected with , five national campaigns as committee man from Georgia, and I have never , known prospects even to approximate , the situation as It is at present. “Mr. McAdoo was In temporary charge of the campaign on account of the illness of Chairman McComb. He says that it literally will be a land slide.. He believes that the normal Re publican majority of 200,000 even In Pennsylvania will be reversed this year, Woodrow Wilson’s recent tour In that state having brought remarkable re sponses to Democratic headquarters. Expects Ohio to Go Democratic. "Mr McAdoo thinks states like Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other states of the Middle West heretofore close or doubtful will certainly be Democratic this year. Ho says the situation is brighter every day, and it is simply n question of the size of the Democratic majority." Mr. Howell says the leaders of both elements of the Republican party quiet ly concede the success of the Democrats this year. He makes the unqualified assertion that the approaching national fight will entirely eliminate that branch of the Republican party which 1s head ed by President Taft. After November the old faction of the Republicans will disintegrate; the Democratic party will get some of this following, and the others will gravitate to the so-called Progressive wing of the G. O. P. "Hereafter the national fight will ho between the Democrats and the party now headed 1 v Mr. Roosevelt," said Mr. Howell "Th means the end of the old Republican organization After this fight there will bo no life left in the organization, and disintegration will set in I can not say whether the sur viving faction of the Republicans will continue to be known as the Pro gressives, or whether they will take the old name, hut Mr. Roosevelt will con tinue to be the dominating influence in the organization. "The condition 1 have Just described will bo the result of the survival of the fittest. In the coming national elec tion. Mr. Roosevelt will receive three electoral votes to every one that will be given the president, and the colonel will undoubtedly poll the larger popu lar vote of tho two Rut Wilson a ill get more than the two together of course I am discussing the contest as between the Taft and Roosevelt fac tions. Governor Wilson Is going to run away with the race, scoring a mag nificent electoral and popular victory." "T. R. Will Run Four Years Hence." Mr. Howell says four years from now President Wilson will be the nominee of the Democratic party for re-election, and the party will have to make the tight on tho record of the Democratic house and senate Meanwhile, he says. Mr Roosevelt will have his party al! primed for the fight, with no one to se riously oppose him for his party’s nom ination for the president. “During all the Intervening four years,” said Mr. Howell. "Mr. Roose velt will keep bls eye on the Democrats. He will be prepared to capitalize every mistake they make and to benefit there by. For that reason it will behoove the Democrats to proceed with exceed ing caution. And I have no doubt they will." Mr. Howell said when he first reach ed the North he was told that Ver mont was Mr. Taft's strongest state The results showed a ver\ close tight between the two wings of the Repub lican party, and the contest between Mr Taft and Mr Roosevelt was an in direct one "With the result alm st an even break in an indirect contest,” said Mr Howell, "it seems reasonable to sup pose that an entirely different show ing will be made when Mr. Roos, volt's personal following is added. And this is in the East, where the president's friends consider him strongest." It is Mr. Howell’s belief that Gov ernor Wilson easily will carry Ohio “BUGS” RAYMOND’S ASSAILANT IS HELI) AS INQUIRY GOES ON CHICAGO.

She eata too much, drinks too much, keeps too late hours and makes her life a burden by soclnl worries. She is a worse risk than the department store girl who stands on her feet all day— and these saleswomen usually either marry or die young " Dr. E. J. Spratllng, head of the med ical department of the Empire Life In surance Company, made this statement today. Dr. Spratllng has just returned from the American life insurance con vention tn Chicago, where he delivered an address on "Women as Insurance Risks." “Among housewives the orthodox Jewish woman tn middle age Is the best. She is inherently and religiously clean, she takes her religion naturally and doesn't worry over it. The middle class housewife among the Christians, while not so good a risk as among the Jewish women, is fair and ranks with the better class of working girl.” Wary of Policies For Husbands. "While not all of the confreres agreed with me." says Dr. Spratllng, "my con clusion is that a woman is a very good moral risk, especially when she Insu.es her life for her minor children "Do you know that life Insurance companies go very slow In Insuring a woman when the application is taken out with her husband as the benefi ciary? It may, be a startling thing, but numbers will Insure their wives when they see them begin io got in bad health. So when the application of the woman states that the policy is'to be made out in favor of her husband we make a very careful examination be fore we accept her.” In discussing the various risks among women, the conclusion was reached that the milliner is the best risk among women applicants and the rich married woman, especially during the first five years of her married life, the very poorest, except for factory hands, house servants nnd the poverty-stricken house wives of the large cities. "The work of a milliner is among Is Your fßfe Child Fed To meet J? the demands //JNv v q Wsk of school life? Study taxes the brain and nerves of the growing youngsters.

Chorus Girl Bad Risk. "Life can not be long if it is sordid in thought or surroundings, and the art In the milliner's work keeps her in terest going, but it isn't enough to give her temperament, which usually means 'nerves’ and a desire for late hours and high living. "I neglected to mention two other occupations in which the women rank as exceedingly poor risks, and they ar» the trained nurse and th* chorus girl. The chorus girl, of course, lives to ex cess: she eats too much lobster and drinks too much wine and keeps worse hours than the woman in high society, and then doesn’t sleep as much. "The occupation of a trained nurse is one of the most dangerous there is for a woman, on account of the long hours, the mental worry, the unhealthful sur roundings and the hard physical work. Women of Middle Classes Good. "Psychological and physical ques tions enter fntb the discussion of what is the best risk In insurance. The woman who Is the head of a family in the middle classes usually feels certain that her children will have enough to eat and that her husband’s salary Is paying the rent and leaving a little to be put aside for a rainy dy. She may have to do the house work and cooking, but she hasn’t enough money to allow her to ‘do society,’ and as a result her life Is lengthened. "Her amusements are simple and not too many, and the loving care of her children and simple joys with them keep her thoughts fresh and pure. After five years of married life this sort of a woman Is regarded as a very good risk "In the lower classes tfrhere the struggle for life is constantly before her mind and where often her food is Insufficient and she doesn’t get the medical attention she ought to have, the married woman is a very poor risk and we hesitate to take her; in fact, very few of this class apply for insur ance." TWO MORE ■ AVIATOHS KILLED Oil Tank Explodes at Height of Five Hundred Feet —Britons Mangled in Air. OXFORD, ENGLAND, Sept. 10.— Aviation claimed two more victims tn the ranks of the British army today, making four members of the royal fly ing corps killed in less than a week. Those who met death near here today wore Lieutenant Hotchkiss and Lieu tenant Bettington. While the men were passing the village of Wolver coot the aeroplane tank suddenly ex ploded at a height of 500 feet. The ma chine seemed to disintegrate and fall in pieces. Hurled from the car by the force of the explosion, the bodies of tho avia tors fell far apart. They -were badly mangled. The shattered remains of Hotchkiss fell in the river and those of Bettington fell in a field. An Investigation was started at once by the war office. Aerial experts de clared that the accident probably had been caused by a leak of the gasoline tank which allowed the fluid to reach the ignition of the motor. * A countryman who saw the accident said that the machine was going at great speed, when suddenly he saw a puff of smoke and the aeroplane broke into two pieces. When the sound of the detonation reached the spectator he knew that the motor had exploded. The two fatalities today make a total of 52 army aviators killed in aerial accidents since the Inauguration of fly ing as a part of the military science. About half of the victims have been French officers.
