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 The Store That Gets the New Things First j M. Rich & Bros.

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.

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.

Mr. Taft believes there are benefits to be had from modern meth ods of economy In manufacturing and merchandising. While at the same time he seeka ever to guarantee and preaerve the rights of the wage-earners and consumers- • • a 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? Republican National Committee, CHARLES D. HiLLES, Chairman, JAMES B.
