ever may be the result of this election,
the Senate will remain Republican for
two years certainly, and probably for
four.
There is one issue which the popular
verdict will settle rrsvocably and that is
the issue of imperialism. If the Republi-
can party he sue essful its control of the
judicial, as we'll as of the executive and
legislative departments of the government
will be absolute and its disposition 10 ex-
ercise al its power for the enforcement
of an imperalistc policy cannot be
doubted. At the end of four years imDer-
ialism will be so firmly imbedded in our
political life that it can never be expell-
ed.
Mr. Bryan's election of itself would
put a quetus on The mperialistic adven-
ture No policy specifically condemned by
the people has ever been ado 1ted in'o our
system and imperialism would prove no
exception 20 the rule.
Since the election of Mr.. Bryan is GER
tain to deliver the country from the i'm
minent peril of imperialism, can the lib
erty convention hesitate to support him
because of impalpable danger arising from
his opinions on subjects with which, as
President, he cannot possibly deal?
The best evidence of our capacity to
deal with the issues of 1902 or 1904, what
ever they may be- is to deal intelligently
now with the issue of 1900. On that issue
Mr. Bryan stands for justice, liberty and
the constitution. and since all these would
be imperilled by his defeat. it is to he
hoped that liberty convention will not be
swerved from supporting him by preju-
diccs springing from past antagonisms OF
by groundless approximations of the fu-
ture."

James Ward of Rome Did Not Die by
Ills own Hand,

Rome. Ga, Aug. l5-James Ward a
young white man who was shot in dis
reputable house in East Rome last Thurs
day, died to-day. He was found lying
face down on the floor with a bullet hole
in his head and his brains oozing out
Since he was shot he has never gained
consciousness and has been battling be-
tween life and death.
1t was claimed he shot himself. but that
theory did not hold good at the coroner's
inquest this morning, as physicians testi-
fed. after making a thorough examina-
tion. that the shot which ended his life
was not fired by his own hands The ball
entered the batk of his head and passed
entirely through and came out at the
temple, and there were no signs of his
having been snged, which is always tho
case when a shot is fired at close quar-
terS.
Ed. Nicely, a white boy, and Hattie
Stewart, a negro woman, were arrested
and lodged in Jail charged with the crime,
and they will be held pending a further

BROWN WILL SOON ANNOUNCE.
I'VE WILL DE IN THE RACE FOR
GOVERNOR IN 1902.

Some People Thought His Appoint
ment as Railroad Commissioner
would Leave Him Out of 1t, but He
says 1t Is Not So-He VIII Make the
Race Against Clark Howell, Who
Is TO BE President of the Senate.
Atlanta, Aug 81. Pope Brown, rail-
road commissioner, IS preparing a formal
announcement of himself as a candidate
for Governor in 1852, and will. in ali prob
ability. make it public within the next
week.
Mr. Brown has long been intending to
make the race two years hence, but he
had no idea of announcing two years
ahead of time until very recently. His
determination TO announce has been
brought about by his learning that an
idea obtains in the minds of many that
his appointment and acceptance of the
position of railroad commissioner removed
him from the list of aspirants for the
executive chair
At the time Gov. Gambler gave Mr..
Brown the railroad commissioner place
it was believed by many that the Cover
nor was moved, partially at least, in his
selection by this very consideration, since
it Is generally understood that he is, or
will be. supporter of Clark Howell as
his successor.
Be that as it may Mr.. Brown has no
idea of burying his ambition TO become
Governor, and his friends say he went so
far as to inform Gov. Gambler Of this fact
before he accepted the appointment.
Hon. Clark Howell, who is now in Eu-
rope on his wedding trip, has made no
secret Of the fact that he will be a can
didate to succeed Gov. Gambler, although
he has made no announcement of his can
didacy. He will be elected president OF
the Senate this fall without opposition
and his friends think he viii strengthen
himself in the public estimation by the
record he will make as the Senate's pre-
siding officer
Mr.. Howelrs friends. it is said. have
not been slow about spreading the idea
that Mr.. Brown in accepting the railroad
commissionership, was laying aside his
intention TO run for Governor. Mr..
Brown, having learned this fact he de-
termined upon an early. almost an i'm
mediate, announcement and il may be ex-
pected now any day.
