BUT WILL GEORGIA
ENFORCE IT3
Much Speculation as to the Re-
suit Of the New Prohi-
bition Law.

Atlanta, Co., August 5.-Three-
iourths Of the white population Of
Georgia are rejoicing over the pas
sage Of the state prohibition bill, but
there is an ominous note Of defiance
from Augusta and Savannah. The
personal---very. Idea has been always
strong In these cities aud Il is openly
charged that no attempt will be made
to enforce the law. The Rev. Mr..
Bascon, an ardent Prohibitionist,
says that the law will not beenforced
In Augusta and Savannah unless 1t
is done by the anti.saloon league.
The league asserts that Il will enforce
thelaw II proper officers fail to doso.
There will be a contest In the courts
over the provision which iorbids the
manufacture OF beer. There are sew
eral breweries In Georgia in which
much capital is invested. The brew.
cries are operating under state char
ters. All OF the charters have years
to run yet and the brewery men say
that they cannot be closed until the
expiration al the characters. There
Is a general feeling that state prohi
bition will do much towards solving
the race problem. Each anti.prohi.
bitionists say that the negro is bet
ter off without liquor.

IMMUNITY OFFERED
TO Ex-60v. TAYLOR.
Kentucky Prosecutor Willing to
Escort Him to and From,
Trial Of Caleb Powers.

Georgetown, KY, Augr5.-Com.
monwealth Attorney Franklin made
the following statement regarding
his promise OF immunity TO former
Governor Taylor, now fugitive In
Indiana, II Taylor will testify In the
case Of Caleb Powers, awaiting his
fourth trial on the charge Of CON-
plicity In the assassination OF former
Governor William Goebel:
"Powers lays stress on the claim
that he cannot get q fair trial, be-
cause Taylor cannot come to Ken.

ence to the assassination Of Governor
Goebel. I will personally escort Tay-
lor to and from Indiana, and I will
personally promise shat he shall not
be srpsstsd believe that II Taylor
will 60 on the stasA can get at the
entire truth In the case"
Governor Taylor, talking by long
distance telephone from Indiana
polls, said he had placed no faith In
the immunity promise Of Franklin.
He insists that he knows nothing re-
lating to the Goebel conspiracy, and,
as his evidence would be negative In
character, II would be valueless to
the accused. He expressed i'm.
plicit faith in the ianocence of Pow.
ers.
Powers, having succeeded In get.
ting Special Judge Robbins to vacate
the bench, has made, in the opinion
OF many Of his friends, a serious
blunder. II will be impossible, It IL
believed, to have another Judge ap.
pointed to preside In the trial until
next October.

DID PAUL MORTON CONFESS

Commoner.
81. 81. Kohlsaat, Of Chicago, Mr..
Roosevelt's intimate friend, has q
somewhat remarkable interview In
the July 27 number OF the Saturday
Evening Post.
Mr.. Kohlssat, 1t seems, was the
gentleman who introduced Paul Nor
ton to Mr.. Roosevelt when the latter
was, governor OF New York. Mr..
Kohlsaat says:
"Aiter Mr.. Roosevelt became presi-
dent, he invited Mr.. Morton to be-
come q member OF his cabinet. This
offer Of q portfolio was, repeatedly
declined, but President Roosevelt in
sisted. In the course Of the confer.
ences on the matter Mr.. Morton de-
clared that the navy portfolio was
out Of his line, and thas all the prac-
tical knowledge he had OF ships was
gained In touring Kansas In a prairie
schooner More than this, be blunt
ly told: President Roosevelt that his
own road, the Santa Fe, had been
technically guilty Of rebating. But
the president still urged him to come
into the cabinet, and gave as his rea-
son that he wished to have q strong,
practical railroad man at his elbow,
as an adviser, because he wished to
become thoroughly familiar with the
railroad question from q practical
viewpoint. He felt that the federal
supervision OF railroads was one OF
the biggest problems Of the admins
trstion, and he wanted all about 1t
from the inside. Later, when at q
sensational pitch, and the newspa-
pers were pointing at Mr.. Morton,
the president stood pat and stuck by
his faithful cabinet adviser. And on
this point Roosevelt covered the
situation by saying: I'D have been
q skunk II I'd done anything else.' "
Thisis, indeed, important II true. "
According to Mr.. Kohlsaat, when
the navy portfolio was offered to Mr..
Morton he bluntly confessed to Mr..
Roosevelt that his road had been
guilty Of rsbating. In spite OF this
! confession Mr.. Roosevelt urged him
to enter the cabinet. Then when the
American people learned what, &C.

saat, "stood pat and stuck by his

this point Mr.. Roosevelt In the opin.

been q skunk II I'd done anything
else." T A

here is THE VOTE IN Detail
FOR Governor IN 1906

Those Republican citizens of indepen-
dent tendencies who do not like to break
away from party ties may recall that no
political party has been sure OF Rhode
Island for many years at time during
the past century.
The straight Republican ticket was de-
feated in 1860 and 1861, wien William
Sprague was chosen governor Sprague
was first nominated by bolting Republi-
cans and was afterwards indorsed by the
Democrats and Young Mems conven-
tions The noted war governor was
soon afterward sent to the United States
senate as a good-enough Republican.
The Democrats carried the state In 1887
by popular vote, and elected majority
OF the grand committee. The Republi-
cans won in 1883 After that the elections
were sharply contested until 1895. the
Democrats having a plurality OF the pop
ular vote on four OF the seven trials.
Then for half dozen years the Republi-
cans won by large majorties. In 1901 the
Democrats made a good fight, and in 1902
and 1903 they elected the governor. The
next two were Republican years, and last
year the Democrats won again.
The table which follows shows the
gubernatorial vote last year.
