TAFT'S NOMINATION
BELIEVED CERTAIN
Managers Now Concerned
About Attempt to SIAM
pede Convention.
Faction of Republicans
Would Like to See Demo
cratic President.

The statisticiaps OF the Taft move
ment, in their Weekend summaries, is
sued today, strongly claim that all pos
sibility of the defeat OF the War Sec
rotary for the nomination is now pass
ed. They arc concerned, not about the
nominal showing Of delegates, but about
the possibility OF sentimental revulsion
in favor Of the President, and Of that
they are less concerned than they were
a fortnight ago. because of the strong
assurances that the President has re-
peatediy given that he Will not permit
such d thing to happen, and that he
has mapped out a course which viii
unqueStionably deter the convention
from trying TO force the nomination
upon him.
Just what this plan of procedure is
nobody seems TO have been told; but
tie President has repeatedly expressed
absolute confidence that the plan which
he has in mind wllI IT the right time.
if such an exigei cy arises, assure the
failure of any effor. 10 stampede the
convention for hi~f. and Will remove all
question OF the nomination Of Taft.
Doubt Taft at Polls.
OF far more concern to the Admins
tration. in its advocacy of Taft. is the
persistent questioning, by authorita-
tive Republicans. of the ability of Taft
to carry the country at the polls. There
is no doubt that the best Republican
friends OF Taft, who have made their
calculations on the assumption that
Bryan Will be the nominee OF the Dem
ocrats. are watching with deep concern
the developing sentiment among Demo-
Gratis in favor Of letting the Denver
convention make the nomination. and
make il with reference 70 the prospect
of winning. Johnson looks more and
more menaCing to the Taft people. who
would prefer vastly to have Bryan as
the candidate against the Secretary.
The President has been told lately by
some State leaders whom he cannot ig-
more that with Taft the candidate the
detection Of the labor vote is going TO
be a grave factor. Indiana. Illinois.
Ohio. and New York especially present
situations in which the attitude OF this
element is considered dangerous The
disposition Of railroad employees TO Op-
pose Taft is reported from all parts OF
the country and gives peculiar wOrry
TO Republican politicians.

WILLIE POTTER DROWNED.

On Friday night, April II, 1908, after
most successful days fishing, the
Harriet Howeth' with her Captain and
crew lay peacefully at anchor at Kill
marnock wharf, and after supper the
Captain and some of the crew spent the
early evening in social conversation
aboard the boats lying beside their own.
About $50 they returned to the
"Howeth" and after a short chat with
companions in the cabin Willie E..
Potter left them in most happy humor
for few moments presumably for a
drink of water, for he left his hat in the
cabin) but after waiting a reasonable
length of time, his friends became I'M
easy and went in search about the
factory and boats for him, but not find
ing him concluded he must have gone to
his home near Byrdton, so all retired.
Very early Saturday morning the crew
arose and as their Captain failed tocome
aboard and an alarm was given and
general search made by many anxious
ones and in little while the poor body
of ''Widdie" Potter was found at the
stern of his own vessel; he had in the
dark stumbled and fallen over and was
drowned. Cliff Kelly and George Clark
with the help Of others tenderly lifted
him up on the wharf and a launch was
sent in haste with the sad news to his
father, Capt. w. d. Potter (who was
in the bay fishing his traps), to come at
once. Words fail to express the grief
of every heart that stood waiting the
coming of that heart broken parent. IL
tears and words of sympathy could
have given life back to that dear boy it
would have gladly been restored, but
God who is too wise to err and too good
to be unkind knew best and the only son
Of devoted parents lies dead. He was
carried to his home and prepared for
burial His loved ones are heart broken
and his many friends are grief stricken.
Just Is years and months ago Willie
was born at beautiful "Ditchley," and
since has been beloved by every one
who knew him; he was the life of the
home. dutiful son affectionate brother:
a bright, promising trap-isherman. In
the midst of prosperity and health he
has been suddenly called away and we
will all miss him. His funeral took
place Sunday 2:30 at Bluff Point Union
chapel, of which Sunday school he had
been a member all his life and many.
many times has his voice been heard in
sweet hymns and recitations. Rev.
Porter Hardy conducted the services
and the congregation sang "Jesus
Savior Pilot Me-" abide with Me"
and Twill There be Amy Stars in Ny
Crown" after which many looked for
the last time on the face of him they
loved. Very quietly the procession
wended its way to the Kilmarnock
Baptist cemetery, where surrounded by
a throng of tear-bedimmed eyes and
aching hearts the body of the one, only
one choice boy, was laid to rest beneath
a cover of beautiful spring flowers to
await the resurrection morn. We ex-
tend to his loved ones our heart felt
sympathy.
ONE WHO LOVED HIM FROM INFANCY.
