MAXWELL FOR VICE PRESIDENT
Put in Nomination by a Correspond.
 ent From Texas.

The following letter from Texas put tinss George II. Maxwell in nomination for the vice presidency Of the United States was received at this oahce yes tercay:
 Lomita, Tex, July 9.
 To the Editor of The Republican, ST. If there is any man. in all the United States that is wGlthy and well qualified fOl good place and big place it is jhe Hon. George II. Maxwell, whom l have never seen ana do not know where he resides or what state he comes from. His residence is some what like that of President Roosevelt who was all over the west, Texas and Cuba, and when he was elected gover- nor of New York the democrats tried to oust him on the ground that he was not a resident of the state.
 1 am an old confederate soldier, but l am for Maxwell first, last and all the time on q ticket with President Roose- welt. Maxwell's work is wonderful; he is the giant, the big tree of the west. The coming question is the re- clamation of the arid and overfowed lands-cut off and turn off the waste waters and turn them on where they are needed-do away with the leVees Oa the lower Mississippi and substitute for them q canal and dams above the lowlands. The very waters that do the damage on the lower river come right through and around the dry sections of the country. Give the Mississippi more outlets and openings to the sea and then go above and cut d canal from St. Paul to the Rio Grande for iT- riga ton and navigation.
 w. have since the Louisiana pur- chase spent billions on levees in the Mississippi valley. We might as well try to dam up the Nile with bullrushes

Briefly, Clement L. Geiger, known
on the stage as Clay Clement. went
away to school with the intention Of
becoming lawyer. Becoming stage
struck he left his studies and began
his career before the footlights, much
to the chagrin Of his father.
After checkered and varied career
iu small parts and after many discour-
agements he won some measure of ar
tistic success through = play from his
own pen in which he took the part of
a German baron visiting in America.
His artistic success, was, however,
not accompanied by affluence and after
vicissitudes innumerable he finally
went into bankruptcy and lost all he
had.
1t was then he returned home, dis
corraged and disheartened and sought
assistance from his father, who owned
a valuable farm near here and who
has some money in the bank.
When he reached home he found his
father had desded all his property over
to the elder brother, Julian, and he
was told no must shift for himself.
Mr.. Clement looked into the matter
carefully and after advising with
friends decided that his father, who
is very old, was of iniirm mind and
that he should have a conservator np-
pointed to care for his property.
The case came up in court twice.
The first time the jury disagreed; the
second time the verdict was that the
old man was not insane. The case is
not ended by any means. Both sides
are preparing for long and bitter le-
gal fight.

Known Actors Fight for
His Rights.
"oPERY" MAN GOES WRONG.

Former Governor Bob Taylor Of
Tennessee, last night, delivered his
lecture. "The Fiddle and the Bow, "
TO a small crowd at the Kentucky.
Governor Taylor is polished and en-
pertaining talker. and it is regretted
that he did not have the crowd he de-
served. Perhaps the only reason is
that Governor Taylor has le,tured in
Psducah five OF six times. and this
time offered nothing new.
We regret to say 1t, but Governor
Bob is getting rather stale. If he
would get mp something new every
year, he ought to draw big audiences,
but it is perhaps rather unfair to ex-
pect the people to pay their money to
hear something they heard several
years ago, and have perhaps read
few times from reports of hiss lectures.
