I
Til? 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.

. OOMiAPSB OF TAFTISM.
1 Ceroi d of Taft Is a Pathetic Story of
Failure.
Judson W. 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. (
Mr. Taft has seemed incapab'e of |
e'ei-'iir It'll politics in the course of i
wisdom and unwlllin; to support *he

ties pi cltt explain tho failure to keep ,
his party ?n hand to.' only, r noire
unkindly explanation for his apparent
pun: so ?.o repudiate th.i no n
end policies to which his pl.itform
pledged him.
"As a result of Mr Taft's failure
there is a struggle for control of
tho icpublican party. At tho same
t:ire. the torn and divided p\r >*
faces a democratic opposition which
needs hardly do more than pe mil
It*elf to become the henefic'a.y < f

FEARFUL CRIME
WOMEN AND OHILDKKN MUKDHKKD
BY BUItOLARS.
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.

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
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.

Imports of raw cotton in Russia
during the early months of the present

value for the first four months being

the buying record of all previous
years will be exceeded.
STILL RAVING
Thomas E. 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.

FORTY-TWO KILLED
CARS AT FULL 8FKKD COLLIDK
ON INDIAN NA ROAD.
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.
