Sat10ld and the Byyanites.

While Mr. Watson has no choice be-
tween "the Twins and wouldn't turn on
his heel for the difference-Bryan or
Taft-he deferred to the preference of
his native state, and OFFERED TO DO
ALL IN HIS POWER TO INSURE
THE ELECTORAL VOTE OF GEOR-
GIA FOR BRYAN.
But the Hoke Smith element of the
Democratic party was determined not to
be robbed of the advantage of charging
that "Watson is working for Taft"
therefore they refused the Watson prop
osition which would have made the state
safe for Bryan.
Judge F. H. Saffold, and thousands of
others, believed that Mr.. Watsons offer
was Just as fair as any man could make.
He did not believe that we should have
strife in Georgia when such magnani-
nous effort for peace was being made.
He thought it unwise in the Demo
cratic Committee to suffer itself intlml-
ated by the Atlanta Journal-Hoke's
organ.
Therefore, Judge Saffold entered his
protest, setting forth manfully the rea-
sons for the faith that was in him.
And now the Committee, amid the
shrewish seedlings of the Journal, has
demanded Safold's resignation from the
electoral ticket.
SEND 1T IN, FRANK-SEND 1T IN.
Let the vengeful partisans of the Journal
type wreak their small spite, and have
their little way.
The old Pops will remember it, and
will remember Hoke, and remember
YOU.

What about the sWeepings of the

about the Hungarians, the Poles, the Rus

Mr.. Bryan is ostentatiously seeking the
vote of Labor-yet he, leaves the Tariff
system standing in all its glory, and

What about this, Brother Gompers?

Your platform favors the protection of
the American Capitalist from the compe-
tition of European and Asiatic capital,
but does not favor the protection of
American Labor from the competition
of the European immigrant
How about it, William J.? You are
begging the farmers for campaign Doodle,

"For a flash of time I was too startled to act, but in the same flash
I was convinced that the man had met his death from no accident, that
he had not died through any ordinary failure of the laws of nature.
The expression on his face was much too terrible to be mlnterpreted.
It spoke as eloquently as words. It told me that before the end had
come he had watched his death approach and threaten him.
81 was so sure he had been murdered that [ instnctively looked on
the floor for the weapon, and, at the same moment, out of concern for
my own safety, quickly behind me; but the silence Of the house con-
tnued unbroken.
II have seen a great number Of dead men; 1 was on the Asatic
Station during the Japanese-Chinesew war. I was in Port Arthur aftec
the massacre. So a dead man, for the single reason that he is dead,
doe" not repel me, and, though knew that there was no hope that this
man was alive, still for decencys sake, I felt his pulse, and while !
kept my ears alert for any sound from the floors above me, I pulled
open his shirt and placed my hand upon his heart. My fingers
instantly touched upon the opening of a wound, and as I withdrew
them [ found them wet with blood. He was in evening dress, and in
the wide bosom of his shirt / found a narrow slit, so narrow that in
the dim light it was scarcely discernibe. The wound was no wider
than the smallest blade of a pocketknife, but when I stripped the shirt
away from the chest and left it bare I found that the weapon, narrow
as it was, had been long enough to reach his heart. There is no need
to tell you how I felt as I stood by the body of this boy for he was
hardly older than a boy, or of the thoughts that came into my head. I
was bitterly sorry for this stranger, bitterly indignant at his muir
derer, and, at the same time, sefshly concerned for my own safety
and for the notoriety which I saw was sure to follow. My instinct was
to leave the body where it lay, and to hide myself in the fog, but I
also felt that since a succession of accidents had made me the only wit
ness to a crime, my duty was to make myself a good witness and to
assist to establish the facts of this murder.
"That it might possibly be a suicide, and not a murder, did not dis
turb me for a moment. The fact that the weapon had disappeared,
and the expression on the boys face were enough to convince, at least
me, that he had had no hand in his own death. I Judged it, therefore,
of the first importance to discover who was in the house, or, if they
had escaped from it, who had been in the house before I entered it. I
had seen one man leave it; but all I could tell of him was that he was
a young man, that he was in evening dress, and that he had fled in
such haste that he had not stopped to close the door behind him
"The Russian servant [ had found apparently asleep, and, unless
he acted a part with supreme skill, he was a stupid and ignorant boor,
and as innocent of the murder as myself. There was still the Russian

princess whom he had expected to find, or had pretended to expect to
find, in the same room with the murdered man. 1 judged that she
must now be either upstairs with the servant, or that she had, without
his knowledge, already fled from the house. When I recalled his
apparently genuine surprise at not finding her in the drawingroom,
this latter supposihon seemed the more probable. Nevertheless, I
decided that it was my duty to make a search, and after a second
hurried look for the weapon among the cushions of the divan, and
upon the floor, I cautiously crossed the hall and entered the dining
room.
"The single candle was still Pickering in the draught and showed
only the white cloth. The rest of the room was draped in shadows. I
picked up the candle, and, lifting it high above my head, moved around
the corner of the table. Either my nerves were on such a stretch that
no shock could strain them further, or my mind was inoculated to
horrors, for I did not cry out at what I saw nor retreat from it. I'm

SENATOR JEFF DAVIS DRIVING HOME AN ARGUMENT

torney for his district. Then he was
attorney general for the state. Then
for three successive terms he was gov
ernor. Then two weeks after his re-
tirement the legislature elected him to
the national senate.
Eight years ago the present writer
had occasion to attend a conference of
governors and attorney generals in St.
Louis. A tall, large, round faced young
man in a gray suit came over and en-
gagged in conversation. In substance
he said:
'My names JEFF Davis. I'm attor-
ney general of Arkansas. I'm going
to run for governor Of Arkansas, and
I'm going to be elected. Then I'm go
ing to run for United States senator
from Arkansas, and I'm going to be
elected. That's my programme"
This somewhat remarkable pro-
gramme was announced in modest,
unbragging, but quite confident tone.
The young man in the gray suit has
carried out his programme, with two
extra elections to the goyernorship
thrown in. He is now forty-aye.
In 1900 JEFF Davis first stumped his
state as a gubernatorial candidate be-
fore the Democratic primaries. He
carried seventy -four counties. One is
not expected to remember who carried
the other county. To stump the state,
according to the Davis Interpretation,
means something. 1t means making q
speech In every election precinct In
the state. 1t is asserted upon relia-
bile authority that JEFF Davis has done
that. He began his stumping ten years
ago, when he ran for attorney gen.
4eral, and has kept It up every election
since. Now he knows everybody and
everybody's wife and children by theii
front names.
