Ex-Gov. Taylor's Majority Over Carmack for U. 5. Senate
 I5,00O to 10000.
ENDS LONG AND BITTER FIGHT
Tayiors Personal Popularity Overcame Carmack's Brilliant Record and His
 Splendid Organization

Former. Governor Robert L. Rogers has been nominated in Democratic primaries for United States senator over Edward W. Camack, present incumbent, by a majority of from 15, 900 to 20 GOO vote. The legislature, which meets in January next will elect Taylor to the senate, his term beginning the following March. Carmack retires after having served one term in the senate, before which he was a member of the house from the Tenth Tennessee district.
 This contest marks the close of of a long drawn out campaign which has aroused more bitter ness and general interest in Tennessee than any political struggle since that in which An drew Johnson was elected to the senate shortly after the close of the civil war. Taylor's great personal popularity, and the fact perhaps that he is better known to the voters of Tennessee than any other man prominent in pub lie life in the last quarter of a century, proved obstacles that Carmack, despite a brilliant campaign and a splendid organi- zation, could not overcome.
 Robert Love Taylor was born at Happy Valley, Carter county, Tenn, July 31, 1850. He finish ed his education at Pennington, N. J., and was admitted to the Tennessee barin 1878, practicing in his native town but short while before being elected to Congress, where he served from 1879 to 1881. In 1884 he was elected for the state at large on the Cleveland ticket and was made pension agent at Knoxville in 1885. He was elected govern or in 1886 after a picturesque campaign, in which his brother Alfred A. Taylor, was his oppo- nent. Reelected to the govern orship, he served until 1891, when he took up the practice of law at Chattanooga, remaining there until 1896, meanwhile again serving as presidential elector on the Cleveland ticket in 1892. In 1897 he was once more called to the governors chair, retiring in 1899. since which time he has de- voted his time principally to the lecture field and to literary work.

opportunity, that a glorious heri- tage has been given to them; that nature has done everything for them. only men and money are needed to develop it. and if they fail to take advantage of the opportunity, the interest Of Arkansas will not materially sui fer, but that other and better men will take their places
 To accomplish this desired end nothing can be of so much advantage as advertising, and we recommend that each mem Der of the bureau be requested to carry an advertisement in which the advantages of tne state are set forth, and to assist homeseekers in every respect and to protect their interests. y
 Among those present were the leaders in the bureau in this state. MT. J. H. MagiI, of Lit tie Rock, took an active part in the discussions, and declared that no state in the Union presents as much to the homeseeker as does Arkansas. He called attention to certain parts of the state Tn which unparellel bargains are to be had.
 George NJ. Heard. also of Lit tie Rock. took an active part in the discussions. and declared that too much was told the pros pective purchaser before he came to Arkansas. Just tell them enough to get them to come, and then let him see that there is even more to this country than we have told him." said he, This met with hearty approval of all present.
 4 most interesting meeting was held, and when adjournment was reached it was with a feel ing that good had been accom- plished. Father Placidus, of Altus, who has brought as many, if not more, people into Arkan- sas for the same length of time than any other one man, was prominent member present. Father Placidus is much interest ed in the growth of the state.
 My section of the state is de- veloping rapldly.I believe it is the garden spot ot the world. Every town in that section is growing, and the county is inn proving in like manner. "

His agents arrest the illicit dis tiller in the mountains of Ken- lucky. They destroy the 'still' of the ''moonshiner' in the pie turesque coves of the Ozarks, the AIleghanies and the Blue Ridge. They guarantee the pur- ity of whiskey on which tax has been paid, and release it for sale and consumption to dram shops; they collect taxes in districts covered by prohibitory law; they guarantee no protection to the toxee; they refuse to furnish information to state authorities that will lead to conviction of an affender.
 The supreme court has pro- nounced the dram-shop the most prolific of all sources of crime.
 The president, though chief magistrate of the republic, shares with the dram-shop keeper in the profits of his trade. Though commander-in-chief of the army, head of the republics police, he cannot destroy the dram-shop because congress has not legis- lated against it. However Qis- ten friends a crisis may arise in which the dram shop becomes an'open threat and menace to public welfare. Then the presi- dent, by his agents may destroy the dram-shop keeper and his stock-in-trade.
 Listen, again friends; in San Francisco, the soldiers of the United States army, in the name of the president destroyed all the intoxicating liquors and gro- ceries. All argument for the food value, " medicinal value" commercial value" was frowed out of court. Intoxicating liquor was peril upon peril-it was dis aster underscored. 1t was earth quake and fire plus-then no argument-but destruction.
 Taxed liquor? Yes.
 Licensed liquor? Yes.
 Personal liberty trampled up- on? Yes.
 A man not free to sell liquor in San Francisco? No.
 Any protest? None heard of.
 A man seen with a bottle of whiskey in the ruins, command ed by a federal soldier to destroy it. He refused. Shot dead.
 Any protest. None heard of.
 In the name of the president of the United States, we cannot help ask the question is the saloon in San Francisco more perilous after an earthquake and a fire than before? Verify no.
 It seems to us that if it is the duty of the president to destroy all intoxicating liquors in the interval of horror that lies between the city that was and the city that is to be, it is his duty to destroy them in ev- cry city beneath the stars and stripes.
 It is admitted that the liquor traffic is the open peril of the re- public. In the mountains, the president destroys the liquor be- cause it is Illicit. " In the bonded warehouse he protects 1t because it is 'licit." In San he destroys it because it is a peril to peace, a menace to the public welfare in a great crisis.
 In the name of the government the chief magistrate ought to quadrate his administration with the dictum of the supreme court, Verify, verily.

OVER
N. Y. BOSSES.
Roosevelt on the Side of Reform
Succeeded in Downing the
0deII-Quigg Machine.

The greatest victory over Dosslsm
and machine rule was won in New
York last night when the republican
voters turned out in force at the
primaries and backed by President
Roosevelt defeated the Odell-Quigg
ring by an overwhelming majority.
1t was a victory for clean politics and
good government such as is being
fought in nearly every state in the
union. and of which the Fordyce
movement iR MiddleseX county is a
part.
The reform leader in New York
was Herbert Parsons and he won a
clean-cut and handsome victory over
the Odell-Quigg men at the primar-
les yesterday, carrying all the dis
tricts which before the contest We're
classed as doubtful. The victory of
the Parsons men means the re-elec-
ton OF Mr.. Parsons as president OF
the county committee at h reorgan-
ization of that committee on Satur-
day night of this week.
On the face of the returns Presi-
dent Parsons won in the county COM
| mittee by a vote of 491 to 222 for his
opponents.
Shortly before 1 o'clock last night
Congressman Parsons called up Pres
ident' Roosevelt on the telephone and
gave him some particulars of the vic
tory. The president congratulated
him heartily on the result.
Mr.. Parsons said last night"
.'What the victory really means Is
that the republican organization OF
New York county is loyal to the lead
ership of President Roosevelt and is
free from the control of the lobbying
interests. | am naturally much
pleased. / think the republican or
ga~nization of this county has sound
ed the CALL
Charles F. Murphy retains control
of the Tammany organization as a
result of the primary fights. 1t is his
intention to jam through the unit
rule at Buffalo and turn the delega-
ton over to Hearst. Mayor McClel-
Ian gave Murphy three surprises, but
even with the loss of three districts
the McClellan-Sullivan combination
will not have control of the delega-
ton.

RUNYON ON THE MOVE.
PIainfeld Exponent of Reform Hold
ing Great Meetings.

PLAINFIELD, Sept. 19.-The wal
against bossism being conducted by
City Judge William N. Runyon is be-
! ing carried right into the enemy's
stronghold. Judge Runyon, the lead
er of the new idea" movement in
Union county, and its local candidate
for assembly, made a ringing speech
at a meeting of the Moulders' Union
last night. Many of the strong men
in this union are employed in the
moulding department of the Pond
| Machine Shop, and their foreman Is
Factory Inspector candy" McCardell
of the McMurray-McCardel combi-
nation.
Runyon urges the union men to
vote according to the dictates of their
own conscience and not be controlled
in their actions by any influence or
bossism. He was roundly %applauded.
At noon yesterday Mr.. Runyon
continued his propaganda speaking
to a big crowd of machinists in front
of the Potter Press Company's plant.
AS usual, he received an ovation, and
nlo opSSCH was llCquCIlIy ihISl upt
ed by outbursts of applause. David
e. Titworth, Mr.. Colby's correspond
ent in the Colby-Dryden controversy,
is one of the heads of the Potter
firm, and it is reliably reported, that
nearly every one of his men are with
him in the present campaign.
Judge Runyon will be driven about
from one point to another and Will
address the assembled crowds. Il
Henry Depew, the Colbyite candidate
for mayor, will join Judge Runyon
in making addresses at the MONDAY
meetings for w~orkingmen. A big
demonstration is planned to take
place at Concert Park tonight. Judge
Runyon will open the meeting, and
after making brief remarks, will in
troduce Benjamin Fleuchaus of Sum-
nit, one of his colleagues on the
reform assembly ticket. Mr.. Fleu"
chaus will be followed by Robert M.
Carey, of Jersey City, who will speak
on the issues until Robert M. La Fol
lette arrives from Elizabeth, he being
due here at $50 o'clock. Runyon
and Fleuchaus in the mean time will
be hurried to Elizabeth, where they
are scheduled to make addresses.

OLD MAIDS AND BACHELORS.

A trolley ride around the loop in
one of the new public service cars
was enjoyed last night by about sixty
members and guests of the Original
Bachelors and the Old Maids Clubs.
The ride was given by the bachelors,
and at their last meeting the secre-
tary was ordered to invite the mem
bers of the Old Maids club to accom-
pany them. They accepted at once,
tendance last night.
1t required some effort IN the part
of the bachelors to secure one of the
new cars, and the credit for obtain
ing it is due to local Assistant Super
intendent Partain, who conferred
ed a promise that the car would be
here. The party left the ferry at $40
o'clock, and went from here to New
Brunswick, where a stop of twenty
minutes was made. At Bound Brook,
Plainfield and Railway short stops
were also made, and without an ac-
cident the merry crowd arrived home
at about 1880 o'clock.
Ice cream, cake, soft drinks and
peanuts were in abundance, and a
large quantity was taken home by
the members after the ride.
The members of the bachelors
club are Harry Barter, president;
Edward Lembcke, vice president; Ed
ward Olsen, secretary; William Penn

CLAIMS CAN

PRIMARY DAY
County Counsel Mum of Essex
DisagreeS With Attorney
General.

NEWARK, Sept. 19.-Asked for
an opinion as to whether primary
day, September %, is a day of reg
istration in towns of 10000 or less,
County Counsel Joseph L. Mum, of
Essex, submitted the following in
writing:
Il am unofficially informed that
opinions have been expressed favor
ing opposite views on this question,
but my own conclusion in the premi-
ses is based upon the distinct provi-
sions of section IA of the primary
law, numbered as section 269 of the
general act to regulate elections,
which section was not disturbed by
the Legislation of 1906, unless by i'm
plicatior,, and | do not think, in this
matter, implication should govern,
If it exists.
"This section is so clear as to the
right of a legal voter, and the duties
of the district boards of registry
and election, that | am convinced that
on the primary day, September 25,
any person legally qualified to vote at
the general election may and must be
registered during the hours of the
primary election, if he apply in per-
son to be placed upon the registry
during those hours, in any district
in the county in which he has a le-
gal residence"
