NEWS FROM SENATOR TILLMAN.-
There will be general interest in the
report as to the physical condition
and trip of Senator Tillman, who is
now in Spain. In letter written May
25th from Gibraltar, says a Columbia
letter, this interesting statement Is
made:
Senator Tillman feels that there
has been a distinct gain. He has a
fine appetite, sleeps we'll and has no
serious symptoms whatever. The
swimming in the head and feeling OF
uncertain equilibrium have disappear
ed. Unless there is some organic
trouble, he does not see why he will
not return home in the fall as we'll as
a man Of his age ought to hope to be-
The voyage, he says, has been ex-
ceptionally pleasant with only one
rough day and one Of moderately
brisk wind The rest Of the time the
weather has been fine and the trip
enjoyable. He really enjoyed doing
nothing.
tinent have not been definitely outlin-
ed. They will probably be determin
ed upon after he finds out how he
stands travelling in Spain. After land
ing at Gibraltar his plans were to
take a side trip to Tangier in Africa
and returning to Gibraltar to visit
Seville, Cordova, Toledo, Madrid and
Granada. Then to get back to Gibral-
tar in time to take the next White
Star steamer June 18th, and go on to
Naples.
His address until the last of June
will be care Of Cooks Agency, Rome,
Italy.
1t will be interesting to note that
none Of the party which included SEN
ator Tillman, Mrs. Tillman and DR.. j.
w. Babcock, were seasick on the trip
and that altogether they had a most
enjoyable voyage.

are started this time must be by the
man behind Taft.
So much for Secretary Taft's weak
points. On the other hand, 1t must be
admitted that Bryan has natural
majority Of from half a million to a
million votes to overcome. He has nc
certain states in the north and may
even have to fight for one or two bor-
der states. He is handicapped by hav-
| ing burned his powder twice. Every
body has heard him and may not feel
so wildly excited over an old story
1t is hard to get a laugh out Of last
years almanac.
Bryan also will lose some to the
Populists. Watson's vote will mostly
come from the south, it Is true, but
even a few in the north may turn some
state. Moreover, Watson may aid the
Republicans by. making a back fire
lcampaign and divcrting Bryan's atten-
ton.
Effective Sentiments.
With Taft as the candidate, New
York and New Jersey would be un-
certain were the Democratic candidate
anybody but Bryan. They may be un-
certain even II Bryan Is the nominee,
There is a feeling in the east and else
where that 1t would be only poetic
Justice since Organism has become
popular to take the man along with the
policies. Such sentiments as that can
not be measured, but have their effect
One other thing-we have just pass
ed through panic, and panics always
hurt the party in power. And still an
other thing-it never helps a presi-
Dental candidate before the people to
be known as the understudy Of the ad-
ministration already in power. The
voters like a new deal and like to
think they made the new deal.
To sum up, as between Taft and
Bryan do not be too certain that 1t will
be Taft. Everything on the surface
looks like a Republican victory, but
surface indications are never to be
wholly trusted, especially in years like
this. This will be a hard fought cam
paign, one of the hardest fought in the
nations history. Personally I predict
a close result.

What" 1 shouted. "She didn't?"
She did," asserted Vincent ruefully,
but with firmness-"She did. Just like
that, out of a clear sky. Simply folded
her hands and looked at me and told
me she loved me-"

I was speechless. This was the end
of it, then. l saw the millions taking
unto themselves wings, and my pan
of milk spilled. The real Honorable
Agatha had been discovered, the Sc

self as loving Vincent and he had
spurned her. After such a perform

of us.

glasses in my excitement, couldn't
you change your mind. couldn't you
fix it up? If she really cared l should
think you could"
Though this event would have prov
ed the deathblow to my own hopes
still my interest in Vincent's welfare Is
so genuine that l couldn't help this
anxious expostulation. But again he
misunderstood.
| You don't mean that, l know, Arch,
he said. "Of course | wouldn't marry

Taft Only In Sight.

The nomination Of Taft is not as
much of foregone conclusion as that
of Bryan, and yet it seems practically
assured Hughes will have the largest
outside following, but will not be near
Taft on the first ballot. If 1t were
possible to combine all the field against
the Ohio man he might be beaten, but
when the delegations break away from
the favorite sons, Taft will get his
share. In Indiana that will be the
lions share. 1t is not to be imagined
for a. moment that LaFollette and Cum
minis will throw their strength to re-
dictionary or to any one opposed by the
administration. AS for the south, It's
delegates will be controlled largely by
the Federal brigade, as always. 1t may
be set down as conclusive that the
great bulk of the middle and far west
is for Taft. 1t is for Roosevelt or for
the man Roosevelt wants. Looking al
the matter from any possible view
