hers of the Republican State Executive
Committee the chairman of the Vari-
ous county executive committees ana
the Republican members of Congress,
to the end that a definite expression
NAV be secured in regard TO the party
choice for the Presidential nomination.
and that party harmony may De re-
stored.
On being pressed for some definite
EXPRESSION concerning the latest politi-
cal crisis, Mr. Brown said:
"Whfle various party leaders were
urging the wisdom of a preliminary
election to be conducted by the state
Central Committee, there was obvious
improperly on the part of number
of that committee who might be re-
ouired to assist in formulating the
rules governing such a primary, select
ing the judges and clerks OF election
fixing the polling places, deciding con-
tests and canvassing the returns, in
arraying himself on either side.
Now that such a primary has been
definitely abandoned, / am very glad
to put an end to any apparent mystery
about my position. Since the state
convention of 1905, over which Secre-
tary Taft presided as chairman, have
believed him to be the logical choice
81 the Republicans of Ohio for the
presidency in 1908, and heartily favor
the movement to secure for him an
unaouivocal endorsement at that time.
I'm my Judgment, the meeting of the
marty leaders and joint committees at
Columbus next week, will result in an
unanimous expression in favor OF Sec
rotary Taft"

Brother of Kitchener's Scout
Dies Far From, His English Home

Stricken with fever in a lumber
camp at Lockhart, John Robert Wood
field was brought to Montgomery and
died at st. Margaret's Hospital last
night at 6 O'clock.
Two years ago young Woodfeld left
his home at South Shields, England.
and came TO America, the promised
land" to seek his fortune. At that time
he was only sixteen years old. After
many visicitudes of fortune, the boy
reached Alabama and became head
bookkeeper for lumber company st
Lockhart, Alabama. Many letters he
wrote home to England about the sue
cess he had achieved. and so joyous
were his letters that his brother came
to America to join him.
81 had been here for only a few
days, said the elder brother last
