to intensity the Generalization. IT is really
one of the most sensational incidents of the
campaign. The blow fails with startling
effect. A similar statement from Hill would
be tame in comparison, because Hills in
fiuence in the middle West is small COM
pared with that of Colonel Morrison. whose
loyalty TO his party has never heretofore
been in dispute. For Colonel Morrison to
desert at this particular time fills the Popo-
cratic managers with alarm. 1t is not Il
case of rats deserving sinking ship. for
the widest ima gination cannot picture Col
onel Morrison as q rat. but ii is a separa-

lutionary combination of anarchy, repu-
Giation and freak ideas represented under

Significant thing about the story is. not

Bryan is the sort of man and has mad the

presidency have been Uen with record 1cr
private achievement and public service
which furnished some basis for confidence
in their capacity to administer the most
important executive Office in the land: The

life and a man of his Tightly temperament,
with no better outlook for the future than
he had few months ago, was as likely as
not to think of trying his luck as press

Possible Successor to Crisp.
Washington Special.

The death of Ex-Speaker Crisp is blow
to a multitude of sincere personal and po-
Iitical friends in the national capital. He
was personally the most popular Speaker
since the days of Blaine, and in his rela-
tons in and out of Congress was an exceed
ing amiable gentleman. OF course, his
strongest affiliations were Southern, but
his popularity was far from being sectional.
If he had lived his election to the Senate
by the Georgia Legislature next winter was
a foregone conclusion. The death of Mr..
Crisn brings ex-Secretary Hoke Smith
prominently into the foreground. Smith Is
now the strongest personality In Georgia
politics. and even with his gold views, mod
ified to some extent, he may pull off the
prize He will be opposed by Governor At
kinson and possibly by Howells, Of the At
lanta Constitution.
