NESsEE TO BE FOUGHT FOR.

ton Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 17.--It
is the desire and the aim of William
H. Taft and his campaign managers to
make a break in the solid South" this
year, and especial attention will be di-
rected towards Missouri, which went
republican four years ago; Kentucky,
which is no longer sure democratic
state; Virginia, where comparatively
few men go to the polls; North Caro-
lima, which Is far from a rock-ribbed
democratic stronghold, and Tennessee,
where the republicans are getting
foothold.
How many of these states, if any,
can be carried by the republicans, will
depend largely upon the manner OF
campaign put up by the respective par
ties, and the amount of dissatisfaction
among democrats with Bryan and the
Bryan platform. In none of these
states is Bryan as popular as he was
twelve years ago. and in all Taft has
a material personal following. In the
South. Frank H. Hitchcock, while pre-
liminary campaign manager for Taft,
made many friends, and got good in
sight into political conditions. This
starter will aid him in laying plans to
carry these states in the November
election.
Some rather peculiar conditions are
found to exist in these five states;
conditions which give encouragement
to the Taft managers. In Virginia the
democratic voters have most profound
respect for Senator Daniel, their rec

NEW BOOK OF JOSHUA

LONDON, July 4.-Dr. Moses Caster,
chief rabbi of the Spanish and fortu-
guese Jews in England, recently dis
covered while travelling in Samaria a
new book of Joshua, which furnishes
a novel version of the fall of the walls
of Jericho.
According to this account, Joshua
was attacked by King Shobach, and
his army trapped or encircled by seven
walls of iron, made by the wizards and
enchanters in the service of Shobach.
Joshua prayed to God. A dove came
to him; he tied a letter to its wings
and it bore a message to King Nobah,
who, with his tribes, came to Joshua's
rescue. The priest Phineas blew a
trumpet once, the walls fell down and
Joshua defeated Shobach.

Daniel is decidedly

ognized leader. Daniel is decidedly
bitter towards Bryan, and did not con-
ceal his displeasure when Bryan an
nounced his purpose to again be a can
didate for the democratic nomination.
While as a party man, Daniel will sup
port the ticket, he will not give 1t en-
thusiastic support. His views regard
ing Bryan are understood to be widely
shared in Old Dominion.
But there is another and much more
encouraging symptom found in the
record of the Virginia election two
years ago. Out of ten congressman
from the state, one is a republican,
and his majority exceeds the total vote
cast in one-half Of the districts of the
state The average democratic con-
gressmen from Virginia had little re-
publican oppositlon one had none
whatever. The latter was sent to con-
gress by 2615 voters. The largest vote
cast in any congressional district was
10000 and this district was carried by
a majority of only 1922 Where there
was practically no interest shown by
republicans, the total vote ranged from
$500 to $500 II, therefore, the repub-
lican campaign managers can arouse
the slumbering Virginia republicans,
and get them interested in the cam
paign, they may be able to muster
enough votes, in view of prevailing
democratic apathy, to carry Virginia
for Taft.
The republicans have two out of ten
Congresmen in Tennessee and elected
