MIR. DU POINTS CONDENSATION
What Head of Republican Speakers
Bureau May Get.


From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Mr.. Du Pont is head of the repub-
lican speakers bureau for this cam
paign.
Mr.. Du Pont is head of the Du
Pont Powder Co., capital $5O,000,-
900, which Mr.. Roosevelt's govern
ment is holly prosecuting under the
antitrust act.
Should Mr. Taft be elected presi-
dent will not Mr.. Du Pont naturally
expect him to order a discontinuance
of this prosecution? Senator Plat
of New York teaches that a cam
paign contribution creates a moral
obligation to make a return of some
kind, either in immunity or a job lot
of legislation. The rule, of course,
applies for services rendered. Will
not Mr.. Du Pont expect the benefit
Of the rule?

d" YOU'RE LIAR" SAID M'CORD
And Then Man Who Ran on Reform
Ticket in Atlanta for State Sem
atOr Got SWatted in Eve.

There was an impromptu over
flow attraction at the Hearst Graves
Carter Independence meeting in At
lanta the other night, and the papers
of that city failed to tell of one of
its most interesting incidents.
Carl Hutchinson, a young lawyer,
formerly a newspaper man, made
some remark favoring Joseph M.
Brown, the democratic nominee for
governor, whereupon H. Y. McCord,
a prominent wholesale grocer, who
was warm supporter of Gov. Hoke
Smith and ran for state senator
against Speaker John M. Slaton, in
that district, at the primary of June
4th., remarked that he was as good
democratas any one, but that he
proposed to vote for Yancey Carter,
the Independent candidate as against
Brown. He said he did not feel
bound by the primary, and proposed
to vote as he pleased.
''No man can be a good democrat
who refuses to support the primary
nominees" Mr.. Hutchinson re-
marked
''If you mean to say that l am not
d good democrat you are a liar"
said Mr. McCord, with some show of
resentment.
Upon the remark Mr. Hutchinson
struck Mr.. McCord a severe blow, and
as the latter recovered himself they
clinched. Friends who were standing
near by separated them, however,
before any further damage was done.
The story was suppressed locally.

QUEER POLITICIAN is HE.

Governor of Indiana Charged for
Making Speech at Commencement.
The governor of Indiana, it ap-
pears, collects fee for his eloquence
when he addresses a school com
mencement. Gov. Hanly delivered
an address in June to the graduation
class of manual training school in
Indianapolis. The other day when
the school boards accounts were be-
ing audited it was found that the
governor had charged and received
$25 for the speech, and his receipt
was among the vouchers. There is
nothing unlawful about the trans
action" says a dispatch, "but the
fact excited some comment" In the
south a public official who would
charge for speech made at a school
commencement would be figuratively
kicked until his teeth ratified.
