good reasons 10 Justify and strengthen
me in this assertion and belief said
Daniel E. Storms, a mine operator OF
Nina. Nev.. who is at the Raleigh. last
night
The first reason. conunusd 8Ir.
/ Storms, resulting from the development
Of 50 many mining camps has brought
I into the State many men from the East
and the surrounding States. Seven or
eight out OF ten OF these new arrivals are
{ Republicans. and they are as a rule OF
/ the hustling kind. and work 20 see their
( political opinion and choice win.
/ The second reason Is that business
men Of Nevada. who suffered from the
recent financial depression and business
standsti-. are recovering rapidly. and are
doing nicely now They argue that 10
change the national administration now
and elect Bryan would give the entire
country a setback from Which L would
not recover for the longest time Bust
ness interests throughout the country
I iack confidence in Bryan Democrats
and many Of rhem-have told me again
and again they viii vote for TAFT. that
they have had enough Of hard times. and
mat they would prefer prosperity under
a Republican administration
Another reason why believe Taft VIII
cary Nevada IS because the Socialists
and others Of that brand Of politics VIII
vote for their candidate, Preston. who
IS serving a sentence Of twenty-five years
in jail Most OF these votes are drawn
from Bryan. and viii diminish his vote
70 that extent, and, therefore. strengthen
Taft
IF Roosevelt had been willing 10 ac-
cept and had been nominated. fully s.
per cent OF the total vote Of Nevada
would have gone 10 him"
". 7 Walker. business man Of sa-
vannah. Ca. is at the E55ltt 0Ir. Walk
er does not take stock in the report that
Georgia would swing into the ReDubIcaa
column at the Presidential election
Georgia has not been IN the Repub-
Iican column for seventy-fve or eighty
years said Alr- Walker. and you may
take 1t for granted that she won't break
the record this time There is absolutely
no reason why Georgia should vote for
Taft, no reason under the sun Bryan
viii not only carry Georgia with q big
majority, but I fully believe he vii be
elected
Taft Is acceptable 10 Wall street; IN
fact, he Is the candidate OF Wall street.
and il Is q weII-knoWn fact -hat the IT,
Jerests Of Wall street are the opposite Of
the interests o the great majority Of the
people Therefore. Taft vii not be the
President OF the people OF the United
states i he should be elected, but De-
would simply be the tool Of tie Wau

1t has been said that Tat- would fol

iUtely impossible foT him % Go. VIXEN .-

IF Roosevelt had been nominated there
might have been a chance f0- E-. 70
carry Georgia. He j. G different type OF
man from TafL alt0getLsr- Roosevelt
fought and stood for the people He Is
honest and was never afraid % attack
those very combinations which oppressed
the people Taft would never dare do
such a thing. We 5ud1-se many OF --e
principles Of the Republican party. and
Roosevelt adopted many principles OF the
Democratic party. and even executed
them and put them in force C--cuIl-
stances however. compel rs 20 oppose and
fight the Republican party
Bryan IS growing stronger every cay.
and I fully believe he VIII be elected
He Is held IL the highest esteem by che
people Of Georgia and the South. and he
VIII surely receive the support Of the
solid South at the November election He
Is strong in the far West and the Middle
West. and viii probably carry Mime

There are but few desertI1,s from the
Mexican army according 10 the opinion
OF Ssnor Jose BidaIdcz. OF Nueva Leon.
Mexico. who IS at the New Willard
Instances of desertio1 from the army
IN Mexico are rare. and for the best q
reasons" said the Mexican The reason
lies in almost sure capture Of the fugitive
and the certainty thai he viii get not one
but numerous foEEinEs on his bare hack
These lashings are done in the presence
Of the comrades OF The de>erter. and when
the men see how great = the suffering
OF the miserable wretch who tried n

10 stick 10 the army than undergo sECa

What used 10 be known as the Con
