TAG DAY is COMING.

You had just as we'll prepare for it,
for you are going to be held up, right
on the public streets, and in broad day
light, for tag day is coming"
A humber OF patriotic ladies have I'M
dertaken to raise few dollars to help
the Marietta Rifles with their expenses
at camp. This is a worthy cause, the
boys work - months preparing for it,
and the ladies are determined to lessen
the hardships Of camp life by raising q
few dollars to help with the expense.
No one should decline to help in a
cause Of this kind, and we don't see how
you Will decline to be tagged especially
when held up by some beautiful young
lady; so put some change in handy
place about your clothes, get on one of
your best smiles, and prepare to be
held up on July 7th. This is Aarietta's
first tag day, and much interest will be
taken, doubtless. It is not the first
time the married gentry have been held
up by the gentler sex. Most Of them
are accustomed to proceedings Of this
kind, and this being leap year, it is
very good opportunity for the first les
son Of the unmarried gentlemen. There
is no way of escape, so prepare to
be held up and tagged, once, twice or
even oftener, as no one should be will.

WASHINGTON. May 19.-All the
$50 delegates to the Republican ma

BELIEVED PLAYING DEEP GAME
Suspicion in Many Quarters of Infiu-

cept denomination.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-There is
a lurking suspicion in many infiuen-
tial quarters that Notwithstanding
the presidents remuneration, he is
playing a strong hand in the direction
of his own nomination. The Taft
bureau claims more than enough in
structed delegates on the first ballot
to nominate Taft, but at the govern
ors' meeting here every suggestion
of the presidents name for renomin-
alton was cheered. Also at the con-
ference of the Methodist ministers,
which the president addressed yesr
terday a shout was raised for the re-
nomination of the president and he
the ministers cheering.
Senator Dick of Ohio predicted to-
day that the ticket would be Roose-
welt and Fairbanks. Others high in
authority in party councils believe
that even if Taft is nominated Fair
banks will be given second place. 1t
is generally understood that he is
willing to accept it. Senator Smoot
told Jonathan Bourne yesterday that
he believed Roosevelt would be nom
mated He has said to others tha1
he did not believe Taft would win.
Smoot has given Knox's friends the
impression that he is in favor of the
nomination of the Pennsylvania SEN
ator. The most remarkable infiu-
ences will be exerted on the delegates
at Chicago to convince them that
Taft cannot be elected If nominated.
