NURSE SME TO
HORSEWHIP WINN
Mrs. Clare Testifies She Was
Ready to Follow Him in
Male Attire.
“1 told another nurse that I'd whip
Winn If I had to put on men’s clothes
and follow him about town,” Mrs.
Mackie Clare told the board of trustees
of the Confederate Soldiers Home, who
are investigating charges of drunken
ness against Colonel Thomas Winn, a
member of the board, preferred by Mrs.
Clare, who is head nurse of the hospital
at the home.
This statement was followed yester
day by an even bigger surprise when
Mis? Cowan, another nurse in the hos
pital, told the board that Mrs. Clare
made the remark about whipping Colo
nel Winn after Mrs. Clare had been
told that charges would be preferred
against Colonel H. H. Colquitt, an In
mate of the home, for visiting the hos
pital frequently at night. The defense
charged that intimate relations existed
between Mrs. Clare and Colonel Col
quitt.
Colonel Colquitt gave Mrs. Clare a
revolver, which she threatened to use
on both Bush and Colonel Winn, ac
cording to William J. Bush, an Inmate
of the home, who was one of the wit
nesses for the defense. Bush followed
this statement by saying that he had

when It promised to culvert its right

now cost $300,000, was brought, out here

to stop the erection of a building on a
piece of land adjoining one bank of

fall in his night clothes. Several other
witnesses corroborated him.
More than 30 witnesses were called
during the hearing, and it was charged
that Mrs. Clare had a regular coterie to
whom she furnished toddies and other
luxuries. Bitter feeling was exhibited
between Mrs. Clare and some of the
witnesses, most of whom were old sol
diers, while many others defended her
warmly.
A number of witnesses testified posi
tively that Colonel Winn was under the
influence of whisky and several negroes
declared they saw Colonel Winn place
his- hands on Mrs. Clare while the two
seemed to be quarreling in the drug
room of the hospital.

Why Mr. Taft
Should Be Re-elected!
IT is now only a few days until the election.
The situation is unusual; but no voter need hesitate over his
choice of a candidate for the presidency.
The issue is clean-cut; the lines of difference are sharply de
fined; the personalities of the three candidates, and the principles they
stand for, admit of no misunderstanding.
The conviction that Mr. Taft should be, and will be, re-elected
has taken firm hold of the entire country.
It Is only what might have been expected, however. In the long
run the good common sense of the American people make few mis
takes.
» • »
History and custom favor a second tenm for a President of the
United States who has served his country worthily and well. Notably
has this been so at times when the nation was passing through more
or less critical periods.
Five of the first seven presidents served two terms each. The
country was In its formative years, and sure and steady growth with
few changes was Important,
The crisis of the Civil War called forth a second term for Lincoln.
Grant served two terms during the reconstruction period. McKinley
was elected for a second term at a crisis when his abilities matched
the country’s needs. Roosevelt's two terms came at a time when the
army and navy were much in the public eye.
Today we face industrial and commercial questions of international
importance. Tariffs, trusts and treaties demand the watchful care of
an executive possessed of wide experience, broad sympathy, an analyt
ical and judicial mind, unwearying poise and patience.
It Is not a time that calls for a man of impetuosity and Impulse.
Not an occasion for academic discussion or paper debate.
It is the people’s bread and meat, their clothing and shelter that
are at stake! It means plenty or poverty! It is a time of problems
that affect the very life-blood of every American home!
At this crisis what so necessary, what so wise, what so SAFE—as
to continue In office a President who has already brought new life and
prosperity to a country that, when he was elected less than four years
ago, lay prostrate under panic and helpless from Industrial distress?
...
It Is probably true that had It not been for Mr. Taft’s courageous
act In signing what was—at first—mistakenly presumed to be a bad
tariff law there would have been only praise and commendation for
his administration.
He has been assailed with much unjust criticism, but people are
NOW beginning to realize that the tariff Is a much better law than
they—in hasty impatience—had supposed. They are beginning to
admire the courage and wisdom of Mr. Taft in approving it In the face
of the storm that he well knew would break upon him.
The tariff has produced the revenue that was absolutely needed,
and which was one of the objects for which It was introduced.
It has done this with reduced duties on necessities and increased
duties on luxuries; and with a total lower average duty on all articles.
It included Mr. Taft's plan for a Tariff Board—the sanest, most
common-sense, business-like method of tariff-building that has ever
been devised.
It established also the maximum and minimum clause through the
operation of which our foreign trade has already reached Its highest
record.
It Is a part of Mr. Taft's plan to gradually and judiciously revise
such portions of the tariff as the accurate and exhaustive investigation
of a Tariff Board demonstrates can safely be amended.
• • •
Mr. Taft’s position on the question of the trusts Is effective, just,
and according to the law and the constitution.
In a little over three years he has done more to actually solve the
problem than had been done in ten years preceding his election. And

he has accomplished It quietly, uneventfully, without blowing of trum
pets, and without filling the jails Indiscriminately with business men
and corporation officials.
Mr. Taft believes there are benefits to be had from modern meth

Every country In the world Is experiencing high prices for the
necessities of life.
Prices are highest In the countries that are enjoying the greatest
prosperity. Low prices are frequently the forerunner of panic and
poverty. It makes no difference how cheap a thing may be If YOU
have no money with which to buy IL
The fact that articles that are entirely free of duty, or on which
the duty has been reduced, have risen more In price than articles
which pay higher and Increased duties, clearly proves that the tariff is
not the cause of the high cost of living.
This Is further demonstrated by the fact that prices have risen all
•ver the world. Certainly the American tariff Is not the cause of a
condition that Is world-wide!
Mr. Taft proposes an exhaustive International Investigation of this
condition. Action is then to be taken In accordance with the result
of the inquiry.
• • •
In the face of Mr. Taft's splendid record of the past three and a
half years, and of the certainty and safety for the future that will ac
company his re-election, It Is unwise to listen to the appeal of office
seeking politicians whose stock In trade Is a wordy clamor for “a
change.”
Should we not rather heed the counsel of the wise McKinley,
who said:
" Let us hold fast to that whfch we know Is good?**
It might easily be that—like the dog In the fable—ln grasping at
the alluring shadow of what Is asserted to be a larger piece of meat
we would lose our firm grip on the perfectly good portion we now have
and are sure of!
It Is always the grass on the other side of the street that—until
you get to It—seems to be the greener.
Which Is merely another way of saying that Taft and SAFETY
Is to be preferred by the wise, cautious voter to Wilson and DANGER!
Assured and certain prosperity Is better than reckless experiment
or disproved theory.
To vote for Professor Wilson and the Democratic party will
Inevitably and logically expose us to the danger of a recurrence of the
conditions which plunged the country Into a panic and poverty In 1893.
Attempts are being made to ridicule this warning of the effects of
"free trade” and "tariff for revenue,” but the recollection of the
TRUTH Is still too vivid to be thus easily removed.
It is not theory! It Is HISTORY!
♦ • . •
To vote for Mr. Roosevelt and the so-called "third party”—which
is "Obstructive” and not “Progressive”—ls merely to ASSIST In the
election of Professor Wilson.
It is a worse than wasted vote—for It Is helping to bring about the
very condition that many will THINK they are voting AGAINST!
* * •
Either Taft or Wilson will be elected!
There are but TWO real candidates—and TWO Issues!
Taft and SAFETY!
Wilson and DANGER!
Which shall it be?
