MANY people express surprise when
the statement is made that Taft Will
fail to carry his own state this year,
but it is my confident opinion that

Bryan and Kern This statement
came from Ed. Mahon, a prominent
business man in Columbus. Ohio. who
called at Democratic headquarters TO

Mr.. Mahon. for the people are in
very receptive mood this year. 1t is
surprising to Democrats TO find so
many Republicans in Mr.. Tafts own
state who are for Bryan and Kern. l
never knew the Democratic party to

today. We are not only going to elecr

RevtS sion.

1t is an oldtime Republican cry that
"the tariff will be revised by its
friends" Representative Mccall of
Republican, hit the
nail on the head when in referring to
this cry he said: If the tariff cannot
be revised when two-thirds of the
membership of both houses is Repub.
lican, when is revision to Gomez"
Revision, through the Republican
party, is to$come whenever the bene
ficiaries of high protective tariff are
willing to surrender the enormous ad
vantages they possess: and this sur.
render will be made whenever human
selfishness j destroyed.

"A HERO IN STRIPES
Convict Saves Five Lives and is
Pardoned as a Reward.
MAY GET CARNEGIE MEDAL
Pardon Board Acted on Their Own
Volition and Gave Wallace Johnson
His Freedom.

Atlanta, Ga.-Because he saved five
lives at the risk of his own, Wallace
Johnson, who was serving twelve
years for manslaughter committed In
Floyd county, Georgia, was granted a
pardon by Governor Hoke Smith OF
Ahis state. He was released at once.
A movement Is on foot to obtain a
Carnegie hero medal for him, which,
II granted, will be the frst ever given
convicted criminal.
johnson was convicted and SEN
fenced twelve years ago. He was sent
to a north Georgia mine. Some time
ago another convict planned a daring
scheme of murder, hoping to escape
amid the confusion. He tmprovised a
fuse and attached 1t to pile OF seven
ty-five sticks OF dynamite. Late IN the
night, when he thought all were
asleep, he fired the fuse. Johnson hap
pened to be awake and saw the I'M
pending calamity. He rushed from his
tent and grabbed the sparkling string
as the fire was with a few inches OF
the explosives. A moment later a
| big part Of the camp would have been
destroyed.
The case was taken up by the prison
commission on its own Vohtion. The
following comment was made in rec,
ommending 1t to the chief executives:
"On the ground of exceptional mer
itorious service in that he promptly
and voluntarily cut out a burning flrse
that had been attached to seventy-fve
sticks of dynamite, whereby he saved
the lives of five men at the Imminent
risk of his own, clemency is recon-
mended. The fuse had been lighted
by another convict in the mine. This
is a case where a special reward
should be given to a convict, in view
of his former and present good con
duct, and that HRS time Will expire
within one year, the commission asks
for his pardon"
The pardon was readily granted By
the governor. ---
