GOOD
ELECTION RESULT
Most Uncertain and Un
knowable Thing in the
World Today.
ATLANTA, Ga.—Eugene W. Cha
fin, presidential nominee of the Pro
hibition party, arrived here Friday
night and was up Saturday morning
at half past eight. A representative
of the Hearst News Service found
him at his hotel, looking strong
enough to fight a bull in a Spanish
ring.
“What do you think of Bryan and
of Taft, Mr. Chafln?" was asked.
"Bryan is much stronger than his
party,” said Mr. Chafljt. “Taft is
much weaker than his party. Bryan
is a finer man, I think, than the gen
tleman from Cincinnati. I mean that
he is finer in the things he repre
sents. I have never met Mr. Taft
and so I cannot estimate him on the
personal side. But I believe that the
trail of the brewer Is over his cam
paign. If Bryan is elected It will be
a personal victory, .very largely so, at
least. If Taft is elected, it will be a
simple republican victory."
“Which one will be elected,” asked
the newspaper man.
"That's the most uncertain, un
knowable thing In the world today,
I think, however, that the Prohibi
tion party will make great gains in
this campaign and will get four times
as many votes as they got In the last
election. That spells success for
prohibition in the end."
>, hen asked Ijia opinion in regard
to Uncle Joe Cannon's chances in
Illinois, Mr. Chgfm said'
“I’m a little Afraid they can’t beat
Uncle Joe this time. There are good
hopes of beating him for speaker,
however, there's a peculiar aituatlon
up home. All the bad Democrats vota
for Cannon and all the good Republi
cans vote against him. He’s having
the fiercest Bcrap thite time he ever
had.”
Mr. Chafln spoke Saturday after
noon at the State Fair grounds.
Sunday afternoon he wiil speak at
the Baptist Tabernacle.
MEN SID AFTER
FIVE DIFS ADRIFT
Harrowing Experiences in
the Raging Ocean on a
Piece of Wreckage.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va.—Six men
axe believed to have perished and
two others were saved only after
undergoing harrowing experiences
while adrift at sea for five days on
a bit of wreckage, as the result of the
British three-masted schooner Sirroc
co going to pieces on a reef in the
West Indies ten days ago. The two
survivors, Mate Jos. Laing and Cook
G. A. Roberts, were brought here on
tne British steamer Tiverton, Cap
tain Lelsk, from Galveston to Lon
don, which put into this port today
for coal. Captain Munroe and five
other members of the Sirrocco were
last seen clinging to a piece of the
side of the vessel and they have been
given up as lost.
The Sirrocco, of Nassau, laden with
railway iron, was bound from Bruns
wick, Ga, to Wilson City, Bahamas
She ran into an easterly gale that
was blowing with fearful force, on
October first, when off the Bahamas,
wsb dismasted and, after running be
fore the wind until noon of that day,
struck Marcello reef and went to
pieces. The captain and the unfor
tunate five with him washed away
with the debris from the wreck.
Laing and Roberts grasped a portion
of the poop-deck and all drifted to
gather until evening, when they were
separated, Captain Monroe and the
five men disappearing. Roberts dls
payed great heroism. Several times
he jumped into the water from the i
wreckage upon which he and his i
companions were east awav and saved
Laing, when the latter, who could
not swim, had been washed off Into
the ocean by high seas.
