Decisive Democratic Victory ia Maine Una lUiMs! the Hopes of the Party Ijeaders for an Overwhelming Victory for the People in the Noveniber Election. Satisfied that the next house of representatives will be democratic, party leaders now declare that there is a chance, although remote, thatthe 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 fii< instances Democrats will be returned. These seats are those of Culberson of Texas, Swanson of Virginia, Money of Mississippi, Frazier -of Tennessee, Royner of 'Maryland, and Taliaferro of Florida. In Indiana Albert J. Beveridge is fighting to be returned with the Chances against him. In Connecticut Senator Buckley faces hitter opposition. Gilbert M. Hitchcock in Nei.rnabii p*npp(a tn flwnmn the divided Republican organization, whose candidate is Senator Rurkett. f 11 Missouri Senator Warner is a? most certain to be succeeded by a Democrat. Senator Nixson does not expect to return and the Nevada legislature probably will elect a Democrat. Maine has elected a Democratic legislature. In Montana the Democrats and Insurgents are expected to combine on a flght on Senator Carter, No<y York may elect a Democratic legida*u-e and a Democratic successor to Defiew. In Ohio a landslide may place e Democrat in Senator Dick's seat, la addition New Jersey, Massachusetts and North Dakota may flop, and a turn-over in West Virginia i3 a possibility. r? i- t J il.- a 1-1?1 ^4^ 4 +>nouiu mo mn itron siaios icirn od to return democrats that party would control the senate.

Weill ver Rives this remarkable bird's-eye view of politics at the present time: "With insurgency fast building itself into control of the republican party, and with democracy in good prospect of carrying the next house of representatives, the administra lion of William Howard lalt confronts a crisis. "Two years ag;o Mr. Taft became ( a leader of a party which he'd almost a monopoly of public confidence. Today ho is leader merely of a discredited faction. Control of the , party is fast passing out of the hands of this faction and inco tlie ( hands of men whom Mr. Taft'? ad- , j\>'nisi r?t ion was but recently "eac!- , log; out of the party , "The record of the Taft adurnisineun is a pathetic story of failure , in '.oth politics an.' statesmanship.

Mother and Three Jdttle Ones Brutally Slain by Marauder in West Chester, I*a. .Mrs. John Zoos and her three chll (lreii, a boy, aged 7 years, and two girls, aged 7 months and three years, respectively, were murdered late on Tuesday afternoon at Byers, a small town about 12 miles from West Chester, Pa. Suspicion points to a laborer who has disappeared, but whom the police are makng a desperate effort to locate. The husband and father was the first to discover the horrible crime. While on his way home from the Plumbago mines, whore he is employed, Zoos saw the body of his 7 year old son along side the roadway. Upon Investigating he found that the child had 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 his 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 from a great gash in the skull. The I almost frantic father rushed from the house and gave the alarm. A physician was quickly summoned but a glance told him that there was no hope for the wife. Attention was then turned to the wounded boy. He was placed in an automobile and a quick run was ordered for the hospital, a distance of eight miles. Just as the automobile was in sight of the hospital the little fellow breathed his last. It was evident that the murderer had gone to the Zoos home for the purpose of robbery and the fact that the three persons in the dwelling were disposed of by the brutal burglar would seem to bear out the theory of the police that the robber was familiar with the Zooses 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 homo and the murderer, knowing that the child would recognize him aud give a clue to the authorities, slew the little fellow. The weapon used by the murderer was an axe, the nole of which was covered with blood and brains from the mother and children. The house had been ransacked and $45 which Zoos claims to have had in his home is missing. ? ?

Taylor, Monday night issued an address to the Democrats of Tennessee, urging the party factions to reunite "in a common cause against the Republican party and its allies." He declares, that the auction of Governor Patterson in withdrawing from the race wiped out every reason for division. The Republican candidate, he says, "has been endorsed by a convention composed of gentlemen who claim that, as Democrats, they had tacitly obligitated themselves beforo the August election to support the Republican nominee for Governor. "The pledgo may he binding upon individuals," ho contiuue?s, "but surely a few leaders had no right to bind the people or to barter the votes of Democrats." The Senator calls upon "all Democrats of every shade of opinion and of both wings of the party to join me in the thickest of the fight, for 1 intend to prosecute the war to the bitter end." Ho urges all counties to send delegates to send delegates to send delegates to the State convention at Nashville on October 6th. ? ? ? wants gi:m:r\u primary law, Pro|?OM\s a Conference of Governors to Consider It.

Watson Makes an Unseemly Exhibition of Himself. ACTS LIKE A CRAZY MAN ItecAiue Hoke Smith Does Not Fall Down and Worship Him the Great Has been Wants to Defeat Him for Governor and Urges Governor IJrowu to Oppose Him. To disregard the nomination of Hoke Smith for Governor of Georgia, on the ground that Democrats are not hound by the primary, which chose him, because of the methods by which the primary was conducted, was the advice of Thomas E. Wation, once Populist candidate for the Presidency, in a speech at a mass meeting, called by himself at Atlanta Wednesday night. He urged Democrats to vote for Governor Joseph M. Drown, for another term, although Brown is not a nominee, declaring that voters are free to treat the Smith nomination as null and void. What Watson called "bossism" and the alleged use of "money and whiskey in elections, and the securing of nominations by fraud and decepetions" were the reasons he gave for insurging against the regular Democratic nominee. Watson referred to Smith's statement of $17,000 campaign expenses, declaring , that this did not cover more than half of the total expenses from other sources. j He objected to the use of so much money in campaigns as a dangerous tendency. He claimed that in the nominating committee the represen1 * ' ' " * 1 Aftft rV.n.nn.nt,, ... V,/"? tatives 01 uie yo.uuu ucuiwmio, ?> 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 for Smith, were "subdued by those new rules into a state of speechless imbecility." The uproar, which cut short his previous speech here, Watson charged, was Instigated by what ho colled the "rule or ruin" clique, which dominated the nominating Convention. Speaking further of this intoruption, Watson said: "Although no such Idea was in rny mind at the time, I have been firmly convinced that some of the rioters had assassination in mind. "The situation in Georgia bears a striking resemblance to that which existed in Tennessee just before Carmack 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, after having taxed the poor man's blanket at 165 per cent, what better evidence would you want that the * ~ ^ 4 ^ - w\r?rv?Nl/i In n 1 /\ n o^or VOICW Ul LUtJ IJJ I1U iunhv-1 heard in fhe making of our lav:*" Watson charged that vote barter lng existed in the highest legislative offices of fhe country, and that "our representatives sell out, betraying their constituents for a mess of Federal patronage." tie predicted that unless "this spirit of lawlessness" is checked, "our wives and daughters will be subject to insult whereever tehy appear alone on a side street." He advocated remodeling the Na- J tional Democratic Covvention so as to give full representation to those States which go Democratic and pro- ( portional representation to those j which do not, a move which ho said would be the South's first ?tep "to recover her ante-bellum power in the Union." Near tne close or nis speecn .nr. Watson said: "I am authorized to ' nay that if the people call on Go senior Brown he will serve. Today I had a confidential talk with J. K ' Smith (Governor Brown's campaign 1 manager,) and Mr. Smith will help in our tight." i Asked after the speech whether Governor Brown had authorized him 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. Mr. Watson spoke in a local theatre, which was largely filled through admission by card bcfcre the doors were thrown open to the general publio. Makes Fatal Mistake.

The Crushed and Mangled Bodies of the Unfortunate Victims Strew the Track Amid the Wreckage. Forty-two passengers were killed and seven wero seriously injured in a head-on collision between two trac I tlon cars 011 the Fort Waytie-Bluff1 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 northbound local car, crowded to the steps, 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 escaped serious injury and with tho other, who had himself been painully hurt, rendered assistance to those who survived the collision. Relief 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 wreckage was taken up by the more skillful hands of the company's wrecking crewa. 'Most of the people on the northbound 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 injured were strewn on either side of the track amid the wreckage. The screams of the injured following the crush brought the neighboring farmers to the scene. Conductor Spiller, of the southbound car was unhurt and ran back toward Kindsland and bagged a car from Indianapolis, which was approaching the wreck at full speed and 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 Bluffton and the bodies of the dead and injured were conveyed to hospitals iu the two cities. OHILDKKX I'OLSONKO.

Only heroic efforts of the family, neighbors and physicians saved their lives as they were all desperately III for sereral hours. No others suffered like < reeuits, though it is not recalled by ( the dispenser of the drinks, whether he sold anyone else chocolate milks during the same afternoon. ? Will Stretch Hemp.
