P?BLISETEB THREE TD Thomas ?. Watson Makes aa Unseemly Exhibition of Himself. ACTS LIKE A CRAZY MAN Because Koke Smith Does Not Fall Down, and Worship Him the Great Has been Wants to Defeat Him for Governor and Urges Governor Brown/ ? * Him. . fTo disrega^^/^ " i^ation.^of J Hoke Smith for Gov^j^ 4?V*^iat on the ground that Dem*. .re not'/bound by the' primary, >Oich chose him, .because of the methods \; by which the primary was'conducted, ? -was the advice of Thomas E.. Wat son, once Populist candidate for the Presidency, in a speech at a mass meeting, called by himself at Atlan ta Wednesday night He urged Democrats to vote for Governor Jos eph Ht. Brpwn, jfor .another term, ? although Brown is not a nominee, declaring that voters are free to treat the Smith nomination as null and void. Wnat Watson called "bossism" and the alleged use of "money and whiskey in elections, and the secur ing of nominations by fraud and de cepeticns" were the reasons he gave for insurging against the regular Democratic nominee. Watson re ferred to Smith's statement of $17, 000 campaign expenses, declaring" that this did not cover more than I half of the total expenses from other j j sources. He objected.to the use. of sp?much, money in campaigns as a dangerous tendency. He claimed that in the nominating fcomm|ittee the represen tatives of the 93,00$ Democrats, who voted In the primaries for Brown, were "reduced to silence" by the Convention rules; and that then the representatives of the 97,000, who] ? voted Cor Smith, were "subdued by those new rules into a state of speechless imbecility." The uproar, which cut short his previous speech here, Watson charg-1 ed, was instigated by what he call ,od,_1&G. "XplG or.-ruin"; clique; which J dominated the nominating Conven tion. ._. . . ? ? . Speaking further of this laterup-] tion, Watson said:: "Although no such idea wag in my j mind at the time, I have been .firm ly convinced that some of the riot ers had assassination in mind. . "The situation in Georgia bears a striking resemblance to that which existed in Tennessee just before Car mack was killed. "When Southern Congressmen," j aaid the speaker, "assist stand-pat Republicans to put a tax of 37 per cent, on the rich men's champagne, after iaving taxed. the poor. man's blanket at 165 per cent, ,what betier evidence would you want that the voice .of -the' people is no longer heard' ia *?e making of our la??:?" ! Watson charged that vote bartpr ing existed in the highest legislative .offices of the country, and that "bur, "^representatives sell out, betraying their constituents for a mess of Fed eral .patronage.". He .predicted that unless "this spirit of lawlessness" is checked, "our wives and daughters will be subject to insult where-over tehy appear alone on a side street." He advocated remodeling the Na tional Democratic Convention so as to give full representation to those | States which go Democratic and pro portional representation to those . which do not, a move which he said would be the South's first step' "to recover her ante-bellum power in the Union." ?Near the close of his speech Mr. Watson said: "I am authorised to say that if the people call on Go/ein or Brown he will serve. Today I had a confidential talk with J. R Smith (Governor Brown's campaign manager,) and Mr. Smith will help in our fight." 'Asked after the speech whether Governor Brown had authorized him j to make any statement, Mr. Watson said the Governor had not, but that he was confident the Governor would accept if reelected. Mr. Watson did not propose any plan to place Governor Brown's name on the official ballot. f ? Mr. Watson spoke in a local thea tre, which was largely filled through admission by card before the doors were thrown open to the general public CHILDREN POISONED. They Drank Chocolate Milk That Was Not Good. At Eatonton, Ga? three little girls aged 6, 5 and 3 years, respectively, are recovering from ptomaine pois oning as the result of three glasses of chocolate milk drank at a local soft drink establishment in that city. With their aunt they went in great glee to the soda fount, after being dressed for the evening, and were taken violently 111 soon after enjoy ing their chocolate milks. Only her oic efforts of the family, neighbors and physicians saved their lives as they were all desperately ill for ser eral hours. No others suffered like results, though it is not recalled by the dispenser of the drinks, whether he sold anyone else chocolate milks during the same afternoon. kTES A WEEK. PRAISES THEM HIGHLY NO BRAVER TROOPS WERE EV ER MARSHALLED FOR Conflict Than Southern Soldiers, Says Commander Samuel R. Van Sant to Union Veterans. With a fine tribute to the soldiers of the Confederacy, Commander-in Chief Samuel R. Van Sant, of Minne sota Thursday formally opened the business session of the national en campment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Atlantic City, N. J.v The commander spoke earnestly as he expressed his gratification at the in creasing fraternization of the "blue ' and "gray." When he said that no braver troops were ever marshalled for con flict than the Southern soldiers, and that the Union veterans now real ize that no men ever made greater sacrifices for what they believed to be right than their former foes, the commander was applauded. The Commander-in-Chief express ed himself as particularly gratified at the increasing fraternization of the "Blue and the Gray." He voiced his pleasure at the cordial reception given him during his recent official visit to the Southern deparfuien .s, not only from the former Union sol diers, but from ex-Confederates. "In all cities, when possible," he said, "I urged joint meetings of the Blue and the Gray. We had unay gatherings of this character, and no more loyal and patriotic sentiments were ever uttered than by the men who fought on the other side '."Are you not pleased to learn that our comrades are living In peace and harmony with our late enemies? This is as ,it should be. Both armi?s were composed of, brave men, a j they should and do mutually respect each other. We of the Nortn can testify that no braver troops v.ere ever marshalled for conflict than our late enemies?and we now. realize that no men ever made greater sac rifices for what they believe! to be right than our former foes. ''Comrades, we were the Tl?tors, and we can afford to be m ?gnanl mons to our foes.. It Is easy for the victor* to forgive, but when thovah? quished absolves himself from all .bit terness he has truly gained the moBt cherished trait of a noble character. We won-?they lost. We re1, irned ?toour homes with the shouts.of vic tory ringing in our ears?our cau*p triumphant. "They were defeated, their cause lost, and they returned to home* de stroyed, barns empty, money worth less, slaves free and ruin all about them. Any but a brave people would have yielded to these adverse con ditions?not so with them. B-avely as they fought during the .war, they now fought the battles of life, and the splendid growth and d)?*elop ment of the South since the close of the war is the South's grand^it and most enduring monument. United as we are now, our coun try is designed to make a new era of .progress. We have by our united efforts advanced to the highest p.'n nacie of fame, and become a mighty world power with our influence every where potential. Who does not re joice that our Union Is one and in divisible, and will remain so for ever." Many matters affecting the welfare of the Grand Army veterans will come before the encampment. J he question of pensions will come up. ?the veterans urging that- the lowest pensions granted be considerably in creased. CHINESE GIRL REFUSED. Admittance to White School Because of Her Race. IMay Ling Soong, a young Chinese girl, has been barred from the Gres ham high school at Macon, Ga., a county institution, because she is not a caucasion. She is a niece of Bing Chun Wan, who is connected with the Chinese embassy at Washington, D. C, Her sister graduated last June at Wesleyan college, which is located in Macon, and which is a famous Methodist institution. Miss Soong went to Macon to enter Wes leyan, but was found deficient of nor studies and it was suggested that she enter the Greshara high school to prepare for the next term at Wessle yan. Wh?n application was made for admission Supt. C. B. Chapman called a meeting of the board o' ed ucation to decide the quest'Oi . The law creating the Bibb county board of education requires that all stu dents of the Gresham high school must be of Caucasion race and for that reason Miss Soong was denied admittance. PECULIAR ACCIDENT. Gun Falls from its Resting Place and Kills Child. Eric Boswell, a five-year-old girl, met a tragic death at Bonifay, Fla., Wednesday night when a shotgun which her father had placed on some pegs nailed to the wall, fell from its Testing place and was discharged. The entire load of squirrel shot struck the child in the abdomen as she was lying asleep on a couch. The father had-been out squirrel hunt ing during the afternoon and on re turning had failed to take the shells from the gun. OKANGEB?BG, THE WAGES OF SIN A MAN SHOOTS WOMAN FRIEND AND HANGS HIMSELF. Mysterious Double Tragedy Is En acted in Cleveland, Ohio, Hotel on Thursday. As the end of a close acquaintance ship of unknown duration, B. Yat es, a wealthy Detroit business man, Thursday shot and seriously wound ed Mrs. Fred Singer in a Rocky Riv er wine room and two hours later hanged himself in the county jail at Cleveland, Ohio. Thursday night the woman's at torney, Frank Eillman, was closeted with Yates' two sons for several hours.. The result of the interview was not given out, and the three re fused to discuss the shooting or its cause. The young men, A. W. and H. F. Yates, hurried to Cleveland from Detroit as soon as the news of the shooting reached them, and the body of their father was shortly afterwards identified as it lay in a private morgue. Yates was 48 years of age and married. He was chairman of the board of directors of the Business Men's Publishing Company, of De triot, was owner and manager of a hotel and possessed extensive lumber holdings near Bradford, Ont. It ia to to this latter place that his body will be removed by special permit of the coroner's jury. Mrs. Singer, formerly a resident of Detroit, but lately residing in a Cleveland hotel, is the wife of a trav eling salesman, and is related by marriage to men prominent in Cleve land affairs. The couple spent Wednesday af ternoon and evening in an automo bile. At midnight Thursday night they went to a road house at Rocky River, a western suburb of the city. FOur hours later a quarrel: occurred in a grill room across the street from the place first visited. Mrs. Singer, according to the barkeeper on duty, ordered a ? tuxicab by telephone against Yates' protest, and ten min utes later the shooting occurred. Mrs. Singer was shot through the (back and through both legs. A po liceman and .the barkeeper, disarmed the man. "I fired two of the five shots at myself, but missed," Yates told Marshal Roy Martin, according to that officer. While the woman was borne to a Cleveland jail, and there he hanged Cleveland pail, and there he hanged hinitself to a low iron rod in the wash room, using his handkerchief as a noose. Considerable mystery surrounds the relations of the man and woman, who have been acquainted, it is ad mitted, for gome time. She has been estranged from her huBband for months. Her condition is reported at the hospital as serious, but it is added that she will recover. She was unable to "make a statement, it was announced. POLITICAL REFLECTIONS. Traveling Men Say Democrats Will Sweep the Country. In his letter to The State from the West Zach McG.hee Bays Illinois did nothing surprising. Boutell, one of the most scholarly men in the house, and one of the most subser vient adorers of Cannon, was defeat ed for the nomination in the Repub lican primary. He says fie will run as an independent candidate. That means the strong probability of a Democrat in his place. It is a curi ous thing that these Republicans, heretofore so shrewd about such matters, should in their quarrels forget that there is a Democratic party. James R. Manning, another Can non 'lieutenant, was renominated, beating two opponents at a clip, but that only makes his seat doubtful for Mann happens to hold a seat, which represents a district much in clined to insurgency. He will, how ever, in all likelihood, be reelected, Money will talk. Everybody is talking of the some what astounding result in Maine, al though traveling men say it is not astounding to them. They say the Democrats are going to sweep the country like a tornado In November, and that this Maine business is but a circumstance. The Republican insurgent leaders at Colorado Springs heard of the election in Maine after the meeting the other night. I was walking to the hotel with some of them'. "It vindicates the insurgents' position," they agreed. "The only salvation for the Republican party is in the Pro gressive movement." SERVED THEM RIGHT. Two White Fiends Gets Five Years Each in Pen. At Anderson on Wednesday Char lie *and Ben McElreath, .both white, twenty and thirty years old respec tively, were sentenced to five years in the penitentary, being convicted of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. These two men attempted to blow up with dynamite the residence of R. M. Webb, near Williamston. A dog caught the dy namite stick and was blown to pieces. The house and occupants wen* thus saved, although the house was greatly shaken. S. Cm SATURDAY, SEP1 WILL WIN SURE Democrats Now Feel Certain of Captur ing the Boose aod May CONTROL THE HOUSE The Decisive Democratic Victory iu Maine Has Raised the Hopes of the Party Leaders for an Over whelming .../Victory for the People v . ...... , in the November Election. Satisfied that the next house of representatives will be democratic, party leaders now declare that there is a chance, although remote, that the Democrats also will control the Senate. The flop in Maine is the cause of this new hope. Thirty senators will retire March 3, 1911. Six are democrats. In all six instances Democrats will be re turned. These seats are those of Culberson of Texas, Swanson of Vir ginia, Money of Mississippi, Frazier of Tennessee, Rayner of 'Maryland, and Taliaferro of Florida, r. . In Indiana Albert J. Beveridge is fighting to be returned with the chances against him. In Connecticut Senator Buckley faces bitter opposi tion. Gilbert M. Hitchcock^ In Ne braska expects to swamp the divided Republican organization, whose can didate is Senator Burkett. In Missouri Senator Warner is al most certain to be succeeded by a Democrat. Senator Nixson does not expect to return and the Nevada leg islature probably will elect a Demo crat. Maine has elected a Democrat ic legislature.. In Montana the Democrats and in surgents are expected to combine or. a fight on Senator Carter, Ne*r York may elect a Democratic legislature and a Democratic .successor to De pew. In-Ohio a landslide may place a Democrat in Senator Dick's seat. In addition New Jersey, Massachu setts and North Dakota may flop, and a turn-over in West Virginia is a possibility. Should the thirteen states referr ed to return democrats that party would control the senate. Arizona at her final territorial ej ection has gone Democratic. Sh >uld she repeat the performance next year after she has entered the sisterhood of States she- will' have two Dem ocrats in the senate within two years. New Mexico also on the threshhold of statehood is about an even bet. COLLAP8E OF TAFTISM. Record of Taft Is a Pathetic Story of Failure. Judson W. Welliver gives this re nUarkable bird's-eye view of politics at the present time: "With insurgency fast building it self into control of the republican party, and with democracy In good prospect of carrying the next house of representatives, the administra tion of William Howard Taft con fronts a crisis. "Two years ago Mr. Taft became a leader of a party which held al most a monopoly of public confi dence. Today he is leader merely of a discredited faction. Control of the ! party is fast passing out of the hands of t)his faction and into the hands of men whom Mr. Taft'? ad m'nistrrtion was but recently reed ing out of the party. ??The record of the Taft adnrnis trai'on is a pathetic story of fiU'tire in '<oth politics and statesmanship. Mr. Taft has seemed incapab'e of s,ei,r.ij?fr his politics in the course of wisdom and unwilling to support 'he pr-.{ re^sive measures which ?he country expected hlra to d:>. Con genital ncapacity for practical poli tics nuelit explain ths failure to keep his party in hand but only: ?. more unkindly explanation for his appar ent puro: 3& lo repudiate tin m?n and policies to which his platform pledged him. "As a result of Mr. Taft's failure there is a struggle for control of the lepublican party. At the same t'jre, the Torn and divided p'iiv.y faces a democratic opposition which needs hardly do more than pe*roit iti?-lf to become the beneficiary ?-f Republican misfortune. It seems scarcely possible that even democ racy's facility for doing the wrong thing can prevail against tho fates which seem determined to recall it to a responsible participation in the national government." Makes Fatal Mistake. Mistaking strychnine for morphine tablets, which she was in the habit of taking, Mrs. H. R. Joseph, a young woman of Galena, 111., met a tragic end Sunday morning at 7:30 o'clock in room 17 of the City Hotel at Col umbia. Dr. P. V. Mllkell was sum moned by the woman's husband, but she died soon after his arrival from the effects of the violent poison she had swallowed. Kusians Buying Cotton. Imports of raw cotton In Russia during the early months of the pres ent year have been very heavy, the value for the first four months be ing more than $23,000,000. If the demand by. the Russian mills con tinues throughout the year, It is de clared, the buying .record of all pre vious years "will be exceeded. 'EMBER ?4. 1910. SHOWS UP TEDDY AN ISSUE OF VERACITY RAISED BY MRS. B. STORER. She Challenges Roosevelt's Truthful ness in the Archbishop Ireland Controversy. * The resignation of Bellamy Storer, as ambassador to Austria-Hungary was transmitted to Washington on March 7, 1906, and was accepted. His resignation was requested by the State Department, and it later de veloped that serious difficulty had arisen between President Roosevelt and the ambassador, primarily be cause the latter had failed to answer a communication from the President. The communication enclosed a let ter to Mrs. Storer, calling upon her to give a written promise not to in terfere in Vatican politics. The point at issue was that Mrs. Storer had used the official position of her husband to forward the ap pointment of Archbishop Ireland to the cardinalate. The Storers respond ed to the action of the State Depart ment by giving out for publication letters from Col. Roosevelt when he was Governor of New York, in which he expressed high appreciation of Archbishop Ireland. Mrs. Storer in explaining this letter said it had been written to her so she might show it to the Papal secretary in order to convince the Vatican of the friendly feelings of Americans toward Arch bishop Ireland's policy. Following the sendipg of a letter ?by Mr. Storer to President Roose velt, members of the cabinet and of the Senate committee on foreign re lations, the President gave out the correspondent between him and Am bassador and .Mrs. Storer in which he said that Mr. Storer's refusal to answer his letters and the publica tion of various private letters justi fied that ambassador's removal, and that he (the President), had stated with absolute clearness his position, and the reason It was out of the question for him, as President, to try to get any archbishop made a cardinal. Now, after four years of silence, Mrs. iBe.'lany Storer comes back at Roosevcl', by writing a letter which was puolished Thursday In the Springfield Republican. This letter was "written from France on Septem ber 6, and in it Mrs. Storer reviews the controversy of her husband and herself with Roosevelt, concerning the former President's alleged au thorization of the former ambassa dor to Austria-Hungary to visit Pope Pius X, and ask him as a personal favor to the President of the Unted States to make Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, a cardinal. {Letters written by the archbish op in 1903 and 1904 hitherto un published are quoted by Mrs. Storer to show that at repeated interviews in the White House between the archbishop and the President Col. Roosevelt acknowledged that he had comananded Mr. Storer to act sb his personal envoy at the Vitican in be half of the archbishop. Col. Roose velt has hitherto publicly denied that Mr. Storer was ever authorized to represent him in this manner, and the Ireland letters now published by Mrs. Storer have the effect of making much sharper the issue of veracity ?between the Storers and the ex-Pres ident. ?Mrs. Storer's letters to The Re ? publican also seeks to prove on the J testimony of Archbishop Ireland that President Roosevelt promised to rolake Mr. Storer United States am bassador, either at Paris or London, and there is included still another letter alleged to have been written by Col. Roosevelt to Mr. Storer just I after the Presidential election In 1896, In which Mr. Rooseveit asked Mr. Storer to seeestmfe.t asked Ambassador Storer, to see President-elect McKinley and urge him to appoint Col. Roosevelt as Secretary of the Navy. This last letter seems to refute a recent as sertion that Col. Roosevelt never sought a public office racept when he sought a Presdential nomination in 1904. CHARGED WITH CRIME. White Boys Arrested for Post Office Robbery in Virginia. Cohen Moore and Walker Haye3, two white boys, about 18 years of age, were carried from Greenville Monday night to North Holsten, Vs., charged with the robbery of the post office at that place. They ha;*e been in jail at Greenville for about two weeks. The boys were first suspecte 1 when they were found by Sheriff Poole and his deputy, Mr. Hunsinrer, to be selling stamps In large quanliu.es to several Greenville people at r.nlf price. They were apprehend2.1 and lodged in jail and a number of pieces of eveidence were collected, before which one of the hoys broke down and made a confession. Parties who had bought the stamps were found, and there were also located in differ ent parts of the city articles of cloth ing, which were identified as belong ing to the postmaster at North Hols ten. It is alleged that the boys robbed the post office at that place some months back and afterwards made their way to the Greenville section. About $125 worth of stamps was taken out and a number of articles of minor value. Of the stamps about $90 worth has been recovered. i FORTY-TWO KILLED I OARS AT FULL SPEED COLLUDE OX IXDIANNA ROAD. The Crushed and Mangled Bodies of the Unfortunate Victims Strew the Track Amid the Wreckage. Forty-two passengers were killed and seven were seriously irijured in a head-on collision between two trac tion cars on the Fort Wayne-Bluff ton division of the Fort Wayne and Wabash Valley line Wednesday. The wreck occurred one and a half miles north of Kingsland, Ind., seven miles north of Bluffton, at a sharp curve. .The cars in collision were a north bound local car, crowded to the stepB, which left Bluffton at 11.15 o'clock, and a south-bound "extra" car, from Fort Wayne. They met while both were running at high speed. The collision is said to have been caused by the misunderstanding of orders regarding the Southbound "extra" cars taking a switch near Kingsland, so that the Northbound car could pass it. ?There were two physicians on the cars at the time of the wreck. One of them escape-1 serious injury and. with the other, who had himself been painully hurt, rendered assistance to those who survived the collision. Re lief cars were hurried from Bluffton and physicians went in automobiles, . Many of the dead had already been removed from the debris of the cars and the gruesome work of taking out the mangled remains of the wrec'r age was taken up by the more sikill ful hands of the company's wrecking crews. /Most of the people on the north bound car were enroute to the fair at Fort Wayne. Help from nearby residences was rendered to such as could be removed from the wreckage. The motormen of the two cars did not have time to set brakes when they sighted each other. The heavy loaded northbound car was crushed and the bodies of the dead and injur ed were strewn on either side of the track amid the wreckage. The screams of the injured following the crush brought the neighboring far mers to the scene. Conductor Splller, of the south bound ear was unhurt and ran back toward Klndsland and bagged a car from Indianapolis, which was ap proaching the wreck at full speed an'd otherwise would have plunged into it adding to the list of the killed and injured in the collision. Wrecking cars and physicians were rushed from Fort Wayne and Bluff ton and the bodies of the dead and injured were conveyed to hospitals in the two cities. GEORGIANS IN FATAL DUEL. Bullets of Each End Lives of Both. Wives Witnesses. Stopping their buggies when they ?met each other in the public road near Pelham, Ga., Wednesday, Char les T?te and John Marchant, both prominent men of this county, fought a duel with pistols, both dropping to the ground dead after half do^ei shots had been fired. The wives of the men sat in the buggies while the fight was in progress and saw their husbands kill each other. T?te was a bridegroom of two months and his bride was the wi 'c?w of Frank Marchant, a brother of the man whom he killed and who killed him. The fight grew out of an old grudge, which at first was between Mrs. Tate's first husband 2nd her second husband, later, it is said, be ing intensified between T?te and Jno. Marchant, who opposed his sister-in law's marriage with T?te, and tiok up the old quarrel. When they met Wednesday Mar chant called T?te to his buggy. The men exchanged hardly a word w'ien the shooting began. T?te fired ihrae times, every bullet finding its mirk. While the bullets were cutting into his body, Marchant fired twice, one bullet striking Tate's hand and the other passing through his heart. The widows called aid and the bodies were removed. It was said that Mar chant lived a few minutes after he fell to the ground. Besides his w*' he leaves two small children. Tue men lived four miles from Pelham, owned good farms, were of promi nent families and well respected in that section. DEAD FROM HORSES KICK. Prominent Georgian Dies From Run away Accident. E. Prentiss Peabody, well known business man of Waycross, Ga., died Wednesday morning as the result of being kicked by a horse 'Monday in a runaway accident, near there. It was while trying to save his wife and little girl that he receivel his injuries. Mrs. Peabody had a rib broken by a kick of the frightened horse, attached to the buggy in which they were riding. Mr. Peabody was a well known church worker and was a member of the national board of management of the Epworth League. Child Found. Dorothy Barrow, 13 years old, missing from her home In Houston, Texas, for over a year, has been found, poorly clothed and penniless in a hotel in VIncennes, Ind., and was restored Thursday to her moth er, Mrs. Eloise Barrow, who claims the girl was abducted. TWO CENTS PEB COPY SURE TO WIN Little Doubt of Governor Shafroib Sbc ceeding Himself in SPITE OF THE TRUSTS No Need of Insurgency in Colorado, as the State Is Safely Democratic, and Will Clean up the RascalSr Including Guggenheim, As Soon as They Get a Chance. . ? ?. \ff.v.-:'c-4t:;;"?'<. V\ -.'>.'?V Just after) crossing the Rockjr Mountains Zach McGhe-e writes tfcs State an interesting letter oh Color ado politics. He says I pick up tfae papers this morning at a little moon-, tain station, after traveling all night and most of yesterday, and see that the Democratic convention in Colora da nominated John P. Shafroth for Governor. This means that Colora do will again go Democratic. The corporate interests I told about the other day did their best to defeat Shafroth in the convention. They knew he had made himself a great hero in the minds of the voters .of the State and they therefore turned their attention to buying up delega tions in the convention so as to elim-: inate him. . '" . They could get up nothing against Mm, but that Colorado crowd hav? n^ver been accustomed to having tji> do anything like that. When a man is objectionable to them, they have been accustomed to say to their hire jWngs yo nominate somebody else, and that was sufficient. But times are changing in Colorado. The Re publican candidate will be an object of interest to these porjporation feJ lows now, but they need not bother about that, if any signs in Colorado can. be believed. . Shafroth will carry the State by a big majority. The only unfortunate thing about it is that the legislature which be elected will not he able to elect a senator in place of the unspeakable Guggenheim. i Tuesday night, the last I spent In Colorado, except on the train, I went to a Republican insurgent rally. Tie chief speaker was none other than my old friend Senator Bristow. of Kansas. He and Merle D. Vincent, a Coloradan who wants to ge gover nor, preached to ? these people about the first insurgent gospel they had ever heard in their lives. And Sen ator Bristow poured hot shot and melted lead into the pores of Gug genheim, too, right here in what is supposed to be Guggenheim's home locality. (But I was gratified to see that Guggenheim was more of a thing of contempt right in that selfsame lo cality where nominally be hails from than almost anywhere else. Senator Bristow told his hearers that if they are to be loyal to the present lead ers of the Republican party, they should be consistent, and alongside of the pictures of Lincoln, Sumnerr and a few other great statesmen, they should hang on their wall the pic tures of Nelson W. Aldrich and Si mon Guggenheim. The crowd broke out in a big laugh. The fact of the matter is Guggenheim does not live in Color ado and never has, and has no more right to be senator from that State than Henry M. Flagler to be senator from Florida, or John D. Rockefel ler to be senator from Texas. But there are hardly any "insur gent" Republicans in Colorado. Ev en mSy friend Senator Bristow, I fear does not stop to consider why. The State is Democratic, having with the exception of Guggenheim a. solid Democratic delegation..in con gress. It is of no use to insurge against Guggenbeim, :for .he can. nod. be elected again anyway,, and |he. nevr. er was expected to represent,theApeo ple of Colorado in the Senate.., , The people of Colorado never had anything to do with electing him. And when the people do take a hand, that is, when they "insurge," they are going to put Democrats into all the offices. What they have been up against is to oust the domination of he greedy and corrupting "business interests" of the State from the Dem ocratic party. They have come to reaiize that it is well-nigh impossible to purify the Republican party, for the Republi can principles themselves have been to give special privileges to those who "need"them, as they say whea maVirsir a tariff. However, it is a commendable ef fort on the part of Merle D. Vin cent to lay the matter before the people of his party. It will help to defeat the Guggenheims and other Republican leaders, or rather, ag ents, but the ones which will take their places will not be insurgent Republican; they will be Democrats. Shot Man for Deer. .Near Syracuse, N. Y., Wednesday Clifford Judd shot and killed his brother in law Theron Plum mistak ing him for a deer. Upon discover* ing his mistake, Judd was overcome, and is in a serious condition as a result of the shock. Tawney Goes Down. The insurgent cause in Minnesota made great strides Wednesday, when James A. Tawney, of the First , dis trict, was defeated for renonination. He was one of the chief apos^ies among the stand-pat Republicans.
