Some Who Won't Run.

senators FultOn, OF WARREN; PMegar,
of Montgomery; shackeford. OF Orange
and st. Clair. OF Giles, have announced
that they Will not run again. Others may
decline before the time for nominations
rolls around, but this is hardly probable.
1t Is likely that Colonel r. T. Leedy, OF
Page, will succeed Senator Fulton, and
he is not likely to have opposition for the
nomination, according to the present out
look. There are two candidates for Judge
Phlegar's seat. They are Hon. A. B.
Coleman and Mr.. John Hart. both OF
Roanoke city. They are both lawyers
and are already putting up stiff fight
for the honor. Mr.. Coleman is now and
has been for two terms, one OF the House
members from Roanoke city and county,
along with Colonel A. NJ. Bowman. and
he Is strong at home and popular with his
/, colleagues. The district Is composed OF
the counties Of Roanoke and Montgom-
cry and the city of Roanoke,
Mr. Q. L Stearncs, OF Roanoke county,
is speaking OF entering the race but has
not yet announced any definite conclusion
on the subject Meanwhile. Messrs. Cole

throughout the district.

Orange. will voluntarily retire ut the end

RECEIVES FOURTH NOMINATION
FOR MAYOR OF CLEVELAND
AT DEMOCRATIC CON-

Cleveland, o., Sept 19.-Tom L.
Johnson received his fourth nomina-
ton for mayor of Cleveland at the
democratic city convention today, and
from now until the November cleo
ton there will be waged the most eX-
citing campaign in the political his
tory of this city, not excepting the
contests of several Te@sSSe= Il
wiz me iafe senator Hanna was the
central figure. The republicans have
picked up Congressman Theodore z.
Burton to make the race against
Mayor johnson, and their selection is
admittedly the strongest one that
could have been made.
The Endorsement of Mr.. Burton's
candidacy by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft, it is said, may be fol-
lowed by speeches here by both later
on in the campaign. If this Tumor
proves correct it is probable that w.
J. Bryan and other democratic lead
ers will be heard here in behalf of
Mayor Johnson. In any event the
campaign is bound to attract the at
tention of the entire country A vic
tory for Mr. Burton would naturally
add to his reputation and would prob
ably prove a stepping stone to the
United States senate.
Cleveland is regarded as a normally
republican city by from seven to ten
thousand majority in national cleo
tons, and up to the advent of Mayor
Johnson six years ago the republicans
had ruled the city and county for
years with the exception of isolated
cases. In selecting Mr. Burton to op-
pose Mayor Johnson the democratic
leaders admit that the republicans
have put forward their strongest man,
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1907-09-19

and while they claim Johnson will
win, they concede that the race will
be close. It was Burton who defeat
ed Johnson after the latter had served
two terms in congress, having been
previously elected as a democrat in a
district which was largely republican.
Since that campaign Mr.. Burton has
confined TO represent the district in
congress, and has been returned BIZ
! ennially without opposition in his
own party and either unopposed by
the democrats or with only perfunct.
DRY opposition.
But Tom l.. Johnson, as has often
been said, is as lucky in politics as
in money making, and he has risen
from poverty to the millionaire class.
He possesses in a superlative degree
that picturesque quality which brings
him out a winner in a political fight
when apparently a large section of
the people is opposed to him and the
public press dead set against him. It
is the same undefinable quality that
won repeated successes for the late
Carter Harrison, many times mayor
of Chicago, and Hazen f. Pingree,
mayor of Detroit
Mr.. Johnson was first elected may
or of Cleveland in 1901 His platform
in that contest was brief. Equitable
taxation, 9-cent fares on street rail-
ways. afdapgfsonai attention 70 the
Office he made features While de-
claring that the single tax and munic-
ipal ownership would remedy alleged
existing evils, Mr.. Johnson did not
make them as prominent issues in his
campaign as was expected. At the
outset he asserted he would spend no
money, and make no pledges TO pro-
cure his election. As even his politi
cal enemies admit, these pledges
were religiously kept
During his campaign he was charg-
ed with failure TO pay his taxes. even
on his home; with repudiating condi-
lions upon which he obtained fran
chise rights for his Cleveland street
railways with all sorts of trickery IN
promoting similar enterprises in
other cities; with lavish use of money
in his congressional campaigns, and
an ATTEMPT was even made to show
that he purposed adopting similar tao
tics at the eleventh hour in his may
orally fight.
Despite all the accusations of this
character, however, Mr. Johnson was
elected by a plurality of more than
six thousand, the largest, with one
exception. that any mayor had re-
ceived in Cleveland for twenty-five
years. In the last two campaigns
Mayor johnson succeeded in increas-

The average American holds the Italian visitor

didn't even hesitate in her vicinity. in spite OF
her gesticulations. Finally, after three motor
men had whizzed their cars past her with
many fendish grins. the blood of Brutus be-
gan to stir in the sgnora's veins, Not that she
loved the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company less,
but travel more. Bystanders narrate that the
signora muttered inch or two under her
breath, II stoppa On next car or they be some

the car stopped-so gently that an iron crowbar
in the hands of a passenger fell TO the floor
without breaking.
The suite occupied by Maria in the Flatbush
police station had been sumptuously furnished
by the italian Ladies' Society for Civic Reform
long before even the reporters appeared on the
scene. In planning their campaign of education
the members of this great organization were
naturally first concerned with the welfare of It's
