CAPT. RUSSELL
FOR CONGRESS
RUMoR TO EFFECT THAT HE
WILL MAKE RACE AGAINST
PADGETT.

The rumor has has been current
throughout the day and in fact for the
past two days that Capt. J. II. Russell
will be a candidate for the democratic
nomination for Congress against Con-
gresham Padgett and will qualify
with the Congressional Executive
Committee before the time limit, Tues
day, July 7th by putting up the $3.50
required by the Committee. This
humor has caused considerable talk
and speculation has been rife as to
the chances of the two candidates in
view of the result of the late Guberna-
torial primary and the prominent part
taken by Capt RUSSELL in behalf of
Governor Patterson.
Capt Russell was seen in his office
by reporter of The Herald Thurs
day and questioned regarding the
matter He greeted the Herald man
pleasantly and did not appear at all
displeased that rumor had connected
his name with the important office or
Congressman. He said that he had
only heard the rumor this
morning and did net know
it's origin. That he had given
out no expression that would cause
any one to think him a candidate for
Congress or that he would be.
In spite of Capt. Fussell's denial, |
the persistent and repeated rumors
regarding the Office of congressman
for the Seventh district, have some
strong source of origin and there is
in the wind. Either the
opposition is preparing to put out a
for the Democratic nominal
ton, or there will be strong indie
pendent candidate in the field to meas
ure lances with Mr.. Padgett.

DELEGATES ARE
ALREADY NAMED
ANOTHER REPUBLICAN coNVEN-
TON IN THIS COUNTY IN
NOT NECESSARY.

Under the call ISSUED by the Repub-
lican State Committee for the conven-
ton at Nashville on August y TO nom
mate a candidate for Governor, the
delegates heretofore appointed by the
Evans wing in this county
to a former State convention
will be the delegates to the
coming convention. The call provides
that no new conventions shall be held
nor delegates elected where the dele
gates have already been named TO the
Gubernatorial convention. This was
the case in this county and the same
delegates that attended the Evans or
regular convention at Nashville last
April will be the delegates to the con-
vention on August r.
1t will be recalled that in this coun-
ty Two conventions we're held. The
Brownlow or oliver faction under the
leadership of R. S. Hopkins organized
the convention. The Evans faction
under the leadership of John Ruhm
bolted and organized a white Repub-
lican party in Tennessee. But in the
State and National conventions the |
Evans faction was recognized and it |
therefore becomes the regular organi- |
cation in this county and the delegates
appointed here will be recognized in
the State convention.
The delegates from this county were
instructed to vote for Geo. N. Tillman,
of Nashville, and he will receive the
five votes of Maury county in the
State convention There is little
reason now to doubt that Tillman will
be the nominee and that he will make
he race for Governor on q State wide
platform There is, how
ever, some opposition to this even
among the Evans faction The Law
'enceburg Union, the only Republi- j
IAN paper in all this country. has \
.ome out in a strong editorial against :
tate-wide prohibition and the delega- a
ion from that and other counties in Q
his congressional district are ex- Z
ected to vote against it.

Goodwin before the trial of the first
case Detectives were stationed in the
court room, stenographers employed to
make a complete record of the evil
dence, and the trial proceeded as
though no plot were suspected. Late
in the evening after the second trial,
information was given 10 the press
that the attorneys for the defense and
the jurymen who served (whO were
known as the "rolled newspaper and
pin brigades'D had been indicted. The
history of the trial and conviction OF
the parties to the conspiracy is well
known.
Mr.. Goodwin argued the transfer
cases in the supreme court, and a
sweeping decision was obtained in all
II cases, which resulted in the estab-
llishment of universal transfers on the
south side and universal transfers be-
tween the north and west sides. The
United States supreme court cited and
| followed this decision in deciding the
99-year act cases. At one time the Off
cials of the Union Traction company
gave out the statement that the num-
| Der of additional transfers given under
| this decision amounted TO five million
a month. After a bitterly contested
controversy in the circuit court. Mr..
| Goodwin obtained the removal of the
tracks of the Suburban Railroad com
pany on South Fortieth avenue, which
had long been a nuisance to the public
and to abutting property. In like man
ner he secured the removal of unused
tracks on Lawndale avenue and other
parts of Chicago's general railway sys
Item.
| Since entering private practice in
1903, Mr.. Goodwin has been engaged
in many matters of public interest.
! He represents the Loop Protective as
Isociation, an organization of property
Owners and business houses on the
line of the Union Elevated railroad,
and has been successful in preventing
further entertainments by that COM
lpany In January, 1907 he was en-
Iployed with former Supreme Court
Judge Magruder to furnish the mayor
with an opinion with reference to the
then pending traction ordinance. The
lopinion rendered treated the ordinance
from a purely legal point of view with
tout going into matters of policy.
In December, 1896, Mr.. Goodwin was
lemployed as special counsel TO the
board of education in the matter of its
llease controversies. He is member
of the University, the City, and Iro
lquois clubs, also the Midlothian COun,

Republican newspapers, as rule,
and republican public men, from Pres
ident Roosevelt down, have in effect
declared, or at least admitted, that Mr..
Bryan is great man, man of genius
and power, possessed of ability far
above and beyond the average man.
If this is so, and few will be found to
deny it; if Bryan has displayed such
marked ability outside of the White
house, is it to be supposed for one
moment that he would lose any of that
marked ability when he became pres
ident and entered the White house?
There is food for thought in the above
for our republican friends to mediate
upon.

Wisconsin is written down as a
doubtful state by a correspondent of
the New York Sun. He finds there
much unrest among the people, intense
devotion to politics, deep feeling
against plutocratic powers and infiu-
ences, and a determination that some
thing shall be done to stop the ag-
grandizement of wealth and privilege.
Hatred of New York is found on all
sides, and ''the truth is that weakness
in New York is strength in Wisconsin
for Bryan-it's an asset that has to be
recognized" Curiously enough, the
Germans seem to be quite as bitter as
the rest, and they have heretofore been
mainstay for republicanism and con-
servatiSm.

The Disaster List.

In round numbers about 100000 per
sons are killed or injured annually by
the railroads of the United States by
the showing of the interstate commits
sion. The number of passengers car
ried annually is now about 100000, 600.
The figures indicate that for about ev-
cry 5000 persons carried one is killed
or injured.
1t appears that a person getting
aboard a train has some S,999 chances
of getting to his destination safely to
one chance of being killed or hurt This
leaves a pretty large margin of safety
for the traveller to figure on before he
starts. The army of 90O,000,000 engag-
ed in the field for a year with one kill
ed or injured out of every 5000 would
count itself fortunate. The disaster
list would operate as very slight de-
terrent to officers and men, says the
Bloomington Paragraph.
But the army would be in the killing
and wounding business distinctly while
the railroads are distinctly in the bus
mess of conserving the vast hosts
committed to their care from death and
| injury. There are no injuries or dis
asters on railways from the very ne
(, cessities of the case They are all or
practically all accidents that might be
avoided. They are all mistakes or
plumbers and not in the least the func-
ton of the business or a necessary
result.
So it appears that while the margin
of safety in railroad travel is large il
is not as large as it should be. In fact
with perfect operation with every
employee doing his duty just right at
all times, with no error in orders and
every order carried out-the margin OF
safety would become practically abso
lutte and the accident list would dis
appear except so far as the careless
ness of passengers might contribute
to it.
| The American people, therefore, ap
pear to be short of perfect railroad
operation and perfect care on the par
of all others ON or about trains to the
extent of about a hundred Thousand
deaths and injuries annually. To close
this gap entirely and wholly eliminate
disaster may be more than can BIZ
looked for from human beings, but tt
approximate it is still worth all TIL,
effort and care bestowed in that di
rection.

The Coming Man.


Do not snub the office boy.
He is little; you are great!
He's an atom on the force;
You are such a heavyweight!
Say kind word to the lad,
Though you may be feeling cross.
In ten years or maybe less
He may have become the boss.
Do not lord 1t over him
In an oYerbearinG way.
In n run of several years
Petty antics may not pay.
Later things may come his way
Fortune is n tickle lass
And he may be signing checks
While you're in the same old class.
Now he doesn't count for shucks:
Every one about the place
Hands him orders right and left,
Keeps him always on the chase.
If some party makes a jest
OF his home stitched trousers patch
He'll remember 1t, you bet.
When he runs the shooting match.
When new and awkward boy
Comes in timidly and shy
No one seeing him can tell
When he'll catch the boss eye.
Wise and knowing ones will not
Give the boy the double cross.
For it's mighty hard to pick
From the lot the future boss.
