A Strong Republican Pro.
test.

The letter President Roosevelt
wrote O Montana man, in which he
vouched for Judge Taft, has had
the opposite of the effect intended.
Mr.. Bryan's reply was convincing
and made clear the fact that Judge
Taft should speak for himself, II
he expects to be considered seri-
ously by the voters of the country.
The Chicago Inter Ocean, one of
the leading Republican papers In
the west, thinks Mr.. Roosevelt has
placed Mr. Taft in humiliating
position by reason of his letter to
the Wisconsin Ranchman.
That paper agrees with Mr.. Bry.
an that Judge Taft is over 81, and
should speak for himself. The
Inter Ocean said in this cCnnec.
tion:
cit lie a fact, and not criticism,
that Mr.. Taft today is suffering
from too much Roosevelt.
"Therefore the present effort to
strengthen Mr.. Taft solely as an
other Roosevelt, a mere heir of
Roosevelt dynasty, is not likely to
have exactly the effect desired by
Mr.. Taft's friends.
"The American people undoubt-
edly are preiudiced against max
ing man President merely on one
mans say-so. Much as they re
spect President of the United
States, they hesitate to let him
name his successor.
"There is a feeling that Mr..
Taft should stand. occasi onally on
his own record.
"To stand before the voters
simply as another mans shadow,
imitator, portege, executor, and
heir, is not an inspiring at itude.
1t is not an attitude that inspires
even the average Roosevelt man
with aggressive loyalty to Mr..
TAft.'

C0X'S COHESIVE POWER
and ITS GRIP ON OHIO

The people Of Ohio have William H
Tafts word for it that George B
Cox's control as a political boss in
Cincinnati, is founded on the cohe
sive power of the public patronage
In like manner the people Of Ohio
have seen Cox apply the same 'cohe
sive power Of the public patronage
to state affairs until he has for years
been the dominant factor at state
conventions. II was so in the con-
vention this year, which indorsed
Mr.. Taft for president and appor-
toned the ticket among the big and
little bosses banded together by that
same cohesive power" of which Mr..
Taft had so much to say in his
speech at Akron three years ago.
Cox has joined forces with the
huge political machine Guilbert has

Mr.. Peoples was admitted to the
bar in 1883 and began practice Az
Pomeroy that year. In 1890 he
was elected prosecuting attorney
of Msigs county, turning Repub
lican majority of 1900 against him
into a Democratic majority of al
most 800 in his favor.
In 1892 he was the candidate of
his party against General C. H.
Grosvenor for Congress, when
normalRepublican majority of 5000
was reduced to 26OO, the lowest
majority ever received by General
Grosvenor in the Eleventh Con-
gressional District.
Mr.. Peoples is one of the leading
lawyers of this judicial circuit and
is we'll equipped in every way for
the position of Circuit judge.
The Democrats poll almost one
half of the vote In this judicial
circuit. The position of judge
should not be considered in par
tisan sense. 1t is but just that 81
respectable a minority should be
represented by at least one of three
judges composing the circuit ber ch
of the fifteen counties of this judi
cial circuit.
Republicans who believe in
"tquare deal" should think of this
when they vote for circuit judge
this year.

TAFT ACCEPTS
HELP OF cox

In his speech at Akron Oct. 81, 1905
denouncing Boss Cox and his ma

political organization In the city
Of Cincinnati and the county Of

city are absolutely under his con-

government under the machine is
constantly described as a very
corrupt one. Such a government
generally begets corruption.
" ! were able, as tear shall
not be, because public duty caIla

The day before his notification Mr.
Taft said at conference in Cincin-
natl attended by Cox, Brown, Bieser,
Vorys and others:

.FIREyIS THE LARGEST
HERE IN MANY YEARS
Americas is Playing in
Good Luck.

The conflagration Which> swept
away she cotton compress Sunday
night is the largest blaze Americas
has had in nearly forty-five years.
In 1864 fire started in the Price ware
house, now occupied by E. c. Par
ker, and swept Cotton avenue to the
Wheatley corner . There the fire
spread to where the Buchanan store
now stands and burned to the Rylan-
der corner. In fact, nearly that en-
tire block, built up mostly in wooden
structure, was swept out by fire, only
the building now knOwn~as the jack
son house withstanding the fury of
the flames. Americas had no fire de-
partment then, the men of the town
were mostly in the army, and the fire
burned itself out ere it was stayed
The next great fire was the burning
of the Barlow block in 1885, entailing
a loss Of probably $4,000 or $4,000
Since then Americas has been immune
from large fires and the record here
is far better than that of any city in
Georgia. For the past five years, as
shown by the city records, the total
fire losses in Americas have been
only $6,923, a remarkably fine show
ing for a city of this size.

Mr.. Gardner thoroughly protects his

is his best advertisement he says, and
he believes he can get the endorse

chance is obtained to show his goods
and prices.
In his advertisement to be found
elsewhere in the Times Recorder, he
gives prices for staple goods. They
will prove eye-openers for the buy

of all goods is urged, so that it can
be proved to customers that they are
getting goods at prices much below
those usually asked for the same

it is not likely that the Presidents
message will be discussed more in
business than in political circles. The
strong assurance of financial stabil-
ity and continued prosperity has sup
erseded that panicky condition in
which the words of the President
might have wrought havoc among
honest as we'll as dishonest men. But
the political effect of the message may
be far-reaching. There are still many
persons who, Notwithstanding Mr..
Roosevelt's reiterated declaration,
would have him for President. Some
of them are likely to become so en-
thusiastic over this latest presenta-
ton of burning issue as to insist
that the President shall remain where
he is until his work is finished. His
enemies will not be slow to accuse
him of trying to crafty an ambition
to succeed himself.
