LOCKS BAD FOR
The SOUTH.
Bob Taylor Says RooseyeIf's Re-
election Will Bring Trouble to
Us.-He Himself Has Taken the
"KeeIy Cure of Politics.
Says the Memphis News:

Saws the Memphis News:
The Hon. Robert l.. Taylor, occu-
pant of the political easy chair In
Tennessee affairs, and the one man
who has the clans OF three factions
guessing. came to town yesterday.
He comes to deliver his lecture, Ihe
Fiddle and the Bow" at the Audi
forum tonight. From a number OF
standpoints he is just now the most
interesting man in State politics. DE
is suspected of carrying concealed
about his person a very healthy sena-
torial boom. Three others certainly
want the place, with fifth man as
possibility. All save the last conner
is known quantity. so far as
developed strength Is concerned, ana
the well known personal following
that has been persist emily behind '1oV.
Taylor is the thorn that stlcketh In
the flesh OF many vf the other factors,
"Are you In politics was the hrst
question that naturally came to fhe
brilliant lecturer.
II have taken the Kelly cure for
politics, ~ gravely announced the
cloud that hangs over a number OF
senatorial aspirations like pail.
What is the Keely cure OF poll
ticsf''
Twenty Thousand year" drawled
Gov. Taylor IN that inimitable way
which would MAKE a man who was
irving to raise money to pay the
interest on a past mortgage smile.
Sectional Hatred Evident.
Gov. Taylor has been through the
North on lecture tour, and he mas
studied politics while away from home.
He looked over the situation from the
standpoint of an observer ana MS
deductions are valuable as political
straws the which to indicate the direc-
ton of the coming cyclone.
"What seems to be the sentiment
In the North as to the presidential
elect,on3' he was asked.
"Roosev cit, IT." replied Gov. Taylor.
lis going TO be renominated by the
Republican party. The people OF the
North are for him. He has systema-
tically stirred up the old preJudlces
that had long slept the sleep or the
lust. He has the masses in the North
wrought up to the pitch where they
are talking about the shameful way
in which we are treating the poor
colored man, and he has set in motion
a sectional hatred that will bring
trouble to us 1t he is re elected.
Just as sure as you are born, the
Republicans are going to cut down our
Southern representation IN congress-.
The idea has been crystalizing Tor
some time. Public men speak OF 1t
as an open matter of policy, and the
present rumbling but foreshadows the
coming of the time when they will
seek to put in force the original
idea.
Democratic Chances.
"Bp' what of the democratic
chancesl
There is but one chance on earth
for the democratic party to win In
this next election. That is tor the
leaders of the party to agree upon
some man who has retained his loyalty
to the party and voted for the nominee.
and who has also held to the ideas OF
the other faction of the currency ques-
ton.
*'He must be able to unite the two
factions of the party, and yet be man
who has not been identified IS
must be compromised IN order to bring
about the success of the party at the
coming election and the man who is
to win must be able to bring the two
extreme factions OF our party together
on a common basis.

can get the nomination provided that
David B. Hill will permit him to have

natlonY'
'"W1thout doubt. 1t is the one
dream of his life, and he is an astute
politician. He would not like to see
the nomination, if 1t does not come
to him, go to any other man from
New York. II he finds that he cannot
get the nomination, he 1s very likely
to throw his forces to a man FROM some
other State.
