NUMEROUS LETTERS COME TO
TAFT PROMISING SUPPORT -
BRYAN is HATED AND HokE
SMITH sPuRNED BY VOTERS.
NORTH CAROLINA
ALSO is PROMISED
TENNESSEE, MARYLAND AND
KENTUCKY ARE BELIEVED TO
BE IN LINE-WATsoN SAYS HE
WILL CARRY GEORGIA..

Hot Springs, Va, July II. - Judge
Taft is daily receiving letters from
Democrats in Maryland, Kentucky,
Ten, lessee, North Carolina and Geor-
gia Assuring him that in the belief of
the writers, those states will give
their electoral votes to the Republi-
can ticket in the coming election.
Taft Reads Letters.
While Taft reads the letters with
interest, he receives the information
that there is hope of carrying Georgia.
With the feeling on the part of the
writer that a wish is father to a
thought, an intense feeling against
the policies of Hoke Smith in that
state is looked upon as the foundation
for the bitterness of the Georgia Dem
ocrats toward the election of Bryan,
MS they look upon Bryan and Smith
as representing the same ideas.
From Maryland especially Mr.. Taft
has large number of advices from
Democrats that they expect to see the
state go Republican and that there
will be many Democratic votes to
help carry it.

Watson Wants Georgia.
Nashville, Tenn, July II. - The
solid south will be broken at the No
vember election and several of the
156 electoral votes will for the first
time 60 into the opposition columns.
Georgia will go to the Populists and
the Populist vote in other states will
be large enough to wipe out the old
Democratic majorities.
This is tie assurance that t'Tom"
Watson Of Georgia handed to the Pop
nlist state convention which held
forth here yesterday.
Says Solid South is Broken.
/" confidently expect to carry the
state of Georgia, and look for big
vote in the south, wiping out Demo
cratic majorities. Populism Is being
resurrected in the west and south.
The Indications are favorable to a
heavy vote in the east and north.
Bryan made mistake in dealing
with the political situation in the
south, and 1 will take advantage OF
this fact" continued the Populist
presidential candidate. HE has gone
to the limit in assuming upon the po-
litical help OF the south. The southern
states are expected to give him 156
electoral votes, almost two-thirds OF
the necessary majority he expects to
win.
Hot Shot for Kern.
''Yet he does not even concede to
the south the second place on the
ticket. He practically says that the
southern states have not a single
Democrat fit to run with him on ma
tional ticket. He picks up nonentity

gambling hel. man of Indianapolis in

Tense TO the charge Of cutting Peter Rump

Tertiary by Judge Sears, The jury had

before he was sentenced. He said his
father and mother were cousins ami had
eloped at an early age. His mother after
wards became insane. he said, ard died IN
an asylum. He insisted his mind was not
normal. At his request Wednesday Judge

anime PattOn's mind and DR.. Tilden re-
ported he was sane. 1t was after this re-
port was made that Patton was placed on

wound across R''mp's neck and also at
tackled Mrs. Rump when sine sought to
