THE AUGUSTA SUNDAY HERALD VOLUME XIII.. No. 280. CM TALKS ON . BRYANJND TIFT SSYS BRYAN IS EASILY THE STRONGER MAN OF THE TWO, AND HIS CHANCE FOR VICTORY IS 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 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.
