Weillver gives this re- , near ka Me bird's-eye view of politics at the present time: "With insurgency fast building Itself into control of the republic in party, aud with democracy in good prospect of carrying the next house of representatives, the administration of William Howard Tuft confronts a crisis. "Two years ago Mr. Taft became a lender of a party which held almost a monopoly of public confluence. Today he is leader merely of a discredited faction. Control of the Pdirty is fast passing out of tne hands of this faction and inio the hands of men whom Mr. Taft'" a??in'oistri tton was but recently wading out. of the party "The record of the Taft adni'nlsCtst-on is a pathetic story of fvlure in '-oth politics an.' statesmanship.

I,. j FEARFUL CRIME VOMKN AND OHILDKKN MURI>KRKD BY BURGLARS. fother and Throe Utile One* Bratall/ Slain by Marauder in West Chester, Pa. .Mrs. John Zoos and her three chiliren, a boy, aged 7 years, and two firls, aged 7 months and three years, respectively, were murdered late on ruesday afternoon at Byers, a small l. i ..a 1 o 11?. w LUWU UIJUUI it uiuea uuui no?i Chester, Pa. Suspicion points to a laborer who has disappeared, but whom the police are maktig a desperate effort to locate The husband and father was the first to discover the horrible crime. While on his war home from the Plumbage mines, where he is employed. Zoos saw the bodr of his 7 year Did son along side the roadway. Upon Investigating he found that the child bad been terribly cut about the head and was unconscious. The distracted father took the child In his arms and rushed to his home, a short distance away. Here a terrible sight met hlR gaze. Lying on the floor In the little kitchen were the bodies of his two little girls and his wife, the latter still breathing but with her brains cozing rrom a great gash In the skull. The almost frantic father rushed from the house and gave the alarm. A physician was quickly summoned but i glance told him that there was no bope for the wife. Attention was then turned to the wounded boy. He was placed in an automobile and a quick run wus orlered for the hospital, a distance of ?lght miles. Just as the automobile was In sight of the hospital the little Fellow breathed his last. It was evident that the murderer bad gone to the Zoos home for the purpose of robbery and the fact that the three peraons in the dwelling wore disposed of by the brutal burglar would seem to bear out the theory of the police that the robber was familiar with the Zoosee and murdered the family upon being recognized. At the time the woman and the little girl were murdered the boy was at school. It is supposed he met the slayer of his two sisters and mother when a short distance from home and the murderer, knowing that the child would recognize him ?nd give a clue to the authorities, slew the little fellow. The weapon used by the murderer was an axe, the note of which was covered with blood and brains from the mother ai^d children. The house had been ransacked and $45 which Zoos claims to have had in his home Is missing. WANTS FACTIONS UNITED. l'aylor Urges All Tennessee Democrats to Stand Together. At Nashville United States Senator Robert L. Taylor, Monday night issued an address to the Democrats of Tennessee, urging the party factions Lo reunite "in a common cause igainst the Republican party and its tllies." He declares, that the action )f Governor Patterson in withdrawng from the race wiped out every -eason for division. The Republican candidate, he says, "has been eu jurat-u ay a convention composed of gentlemen who claim that, as Dem>crats, they had tacitly obligitated hemselves before the August eleclon to support the Republican nomnee for Governor. "The pledge may be binding upon ndividuala." he continues, "but mrely a few leaders hud no right to jind the people or to barter the votes >f Democrats." The Senator calls upon "all Demounts of every shade of opinion and >f both wings of the party to join tie in the thickest of the fight, for 1 ntend to prosecute the war to the fitter end." lie urges all counties ;o send delegates to send delegates o send delegates to the State contention at Nashville on October 6th.

ACTS LIKE A CRAZY MAN * Because Hckp Smith Does Not Fall ai Down and Worship Him the Great a nan f? udui u) tiini ?* for Oorernor and Ur^es Governor tC Brown to Oppose Him. w To disregard the nomination of Q' Hoke Smith for Oovernor of Georgia. n on the ground that Democrats are not 1>ound by the primary, which 1)1 chose him. because of the methods w by which the primary was conducted, * waa the advice of Thomas K. Watson. once Populist candidate for the w Presidency, in a speech at a mass meeting, called by himself at Atlan- C1 ta Wednesday night. He urged " Democrats to vote for Governor Joseph M. Brown, for another term, although Brown is not a non\inee, Cl declaring that voters are free to treat the Smith nomination as null C1 and void. ? What Watson called "lmssism" w and the alleged use of "money and ,r whiskey in elections, and the securIng of nominations by fraud and de- " cepetlons" were the reasons he gave a for Insurging against the regular Democratic nominee. Watson re- n ferred to Smith's statement of $17,- a 000 campaign expenses, declaring that this did not cover more than a half of the total expense^ from other fl sources. C1 He objected to the use of so much money in campaigns as a dangerous tendency. He claimed that in the a' nominating committee the repres* n- H tatlves of the 93,000 Democrats, a ho C( voted in the primaries for Brown, were "reduced to silence" by the u Convention ruleB: and that then the representatives of the 97,000, who c voted for Smith, were "subdued by 31 those new rules into a state of speechless imbecility." The uproar, which cut short his s< previous speech here, Watson charg- 41 ed, was Instigated by what he call- n ed the "rule or ruin" clique, which dominated the nominating Conven- * tion. '< Speaking further of this intorup- 11 tion. Watson said: . ... n "Although no such Idea was in ray mind at the time, I have been firmly convinced that some of the rioters had assassination in mind. "The situation in Georgia bears a t striking resemblance to that which existed In Tennessee Just before Car- ^ mack was killed. "When Southern Congressmen," said the speaker, "assist stand-pat Republicans to put a tax of 37 per cent, on the rich men's champagne, T after having taxed the poor man's blanket at 165 per cent, what be'.er evidence would you want that the voice of the people is no longer heard in ?he making of our lav:'" Wataon charged that vote barter a ing existed in the highest-legis.utivt: ? offices of the country, and that "our ? representatives sell out, betraying 8< their constituents for a mess of Fed- ^ eral patronage." He predicted that K unless "this spirit of lawlessuets" is ^ checked, "our wives and daughters will be subject to insult where-over ir tehy appear alone on a side street." 01 He advocated remodeling tha Na- ai tional Democratic Convention so as to giv>. full representation to those States which go Democratic and pro- r| portlonal representation to tho.te which do not, a move which he said ' would be the South's first atep '"o c recover her ante-bellum power In the Union." Near the close of his speech Mr. Watson said: "I am authorized to al say that If the people call on Go /em- ** or ltrown he will serve. Today I had a confidential talk with J. It J Smith (Governor llrown's campaign manager,) and Mr. Smith will help In our fight." Asked after the speech whether ^ Governor ltrown had authorized him tJ to make any statement, Mr. Watson k said the Governor had not, but that a he was confident the Governor would Vl accept if reelected, ? Mr. Watson did not propose anv plan to place Governor Hrown's name on the official ballot. Mr. Watson spoke in a local theatre. which was largely filled through admission by card before the doors were thrown open to the general a public. a 9 ^ 9 c Makes Fatal Mistake.
