THE SITUATION
IN TAFT'S STATE
REALLY LOOKS AS If OHIO WILL
GIVE BRYAN IT'S ELEc-
ToRAL VOTES.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 27.-In TO-
days issue of The Press, the political
situation in Ohio is treated by that
paper into the most important states
figuring in the campaign, one of them
claiming it for Taft by great major
ity, the other condoling with Mr.. Taft
because he will lose it.
]. s. Henry declares the republican
nominee will win by $4,000; on the
other hand, o. o. Stealey asserts that
Mr. Bryan will carry the state. Both
write from Columbus. In part, Mr.
Henry says:
ohio will cast her electoral vote
for Taft and Sherman This is the
judgment of unprecedented political OBJ
servers in the final analysis of very
mixed situation. There are four prom
inent features in the campaign Thee
are the temperance question, the de-
lection of Foraker men, the labor vote
and the colored vote. Candidate w. j.
Bryan has just finished quick tour
of the state and has gone away claim
ing the Buckeye electoral vote as his
DShiVIi dtit Skdle committeeman QlS-
play confidence and few intelligent
Foraker men predicted that Taft viii
lose the state. The state republican
chairman predicts Taft will carry the
state by $4,000"
Mr.. Stealey sees thing differently.
and he SAYS:
II is really too bad for the repub-
leans that Mr. Bryan has a cinch on
his own state and that Mr.. Taft will
lose his. don't think there is a ques-
ton Of this | find there are three
elements which win political victories
and which are on the side of the dem
ocrats viz. The labor v-te, the Ger
man vote and the dissatisfied negroes.
In Cincinnati. Cleveland, Columbus
Dayton and other large suongholds
Mr. Bryan is largely the fayorite. It
would not surprise me in the least if
Mr.. Bryan received 10000 more votes
] than Harmon, and the election Cf Har-

VETERANS CAN
SELL NEAR BEER
COURT OF APPEALS HANDS DOWN
AN INTERESTING
DECISION.

The privilege granted by the state
TO confederate veterans TO be peddlers
or dealers in any article not prohib-
tied. and to be exempt from the pay
ment of any tax or license, was held
by the court Of appeals in a decision
handed down Monday, to include deal
ing In misunderstanding near beer
Under this ruling the city of Ocilla
and other Georgia municipalities will
be prevented from keeping out near
beer by means of prohibitive license
taxes.
j. M. Burch, a confederate veteran,
was convicted in the recorders court
of Ocilla Of having sold near beer
without a license. II was appealed,
and the higher court held that he was
not required to pay the tax. The state
law on the subject supcrcedes the
municipal ordinance.
The court pointed out that If Birch
was charged with dealing in a non
intoxicating beverage he was protected
by the state grant 10 veterans to be
peddlers or dealers in any commodity
except ardent or intoxicating liquors"
II Burch was dealing in all intoxicat-
ing beverage he could not be tried in
the city court, since only the state
court could have jurisdiction. His con-
federate veterans license would nct
protect him from punishment for lille
gal dealing in such beverages.
