TAFT ID CORRECT
 REPUBLICAN ABUSES

AUGUSTA. Ga. Jan. 26.-Condi tiDns that have prevailed in Kepubl- can politics in the south for the past forty years are to be revolutionized by William H. Taft, who. according to his friends here. has decided to aban- don the referee system in the distri- button of federal patronage in south- ern states.
 On the referee system has been neaped all the blame for the rotten ness and iHeffectiveness of Republi- canism in the south Under it's oper- ation the two or three men who could persuade the government at Washing that they were the most influential Republicans in their state have had the absolute and final word as 10 who should get the federal offices not al ready occupied by themselves. This WAS possible because the political re mOteness Of the south from Washing ton ana the impossIbility Of Bepubli- cans carrying any southern state caus- cd a lack of interest on the part of ihc various administrations.
 The result has been that the re- ierees. generally two in each state. sometimes three. used the federal payrOol to further thei- own interests ard to reward their personal friends or political haugeTs-on. Such a sys- tenn soon stamped disrepute upon the party and did much 10 keep iJ from gaining strength.
 New, according Co men who have discussed the matter witI Mir. Taft, he js determined to break up the rule .oi he referees. Just what agency Ec will use 10 perform in a healthy manner the functions the referees dis charged in an unsatisfactory way has not vet been decided.
 Three plans are now under con sideratiOu One is to have civil ser vice agents inquire into the cEarae- ter and abilities of the men put for ward by their friends for office. and l tO report pack to Washington. The second is to have the independent 1 clubs. which are to be founded Un-
 der tIe leadership of John Hays Ham mond, president Of the National | League Of Republican Clubs. take a | largs. fart in the awarding of the gOy- l crnment jobs. Tss third. which 1 seems the most serviceable. is to | combine the usefulness Of the clubs ard the civil service agents.
 In addition 10 long conferences Mr. Taft has had in the past with South ! eGn Republicans and independent Democrats rc garding the situation in l the soutis. he had talks this afternoon J On the general conditions with Clarke | GHer. president Of the Tart club al | Dublin. Ga. Colonel GeOrse W. Gun ningham. an Independent Democrat O, Cunningham Y. C.. and Joln A. tStewart. president of the New York I.sague of Republican clubs.

that there will be some pretty lively
driving for the leadership each time
the autos pass the judges stand at
the completion of a mile.
There are some twelve auto
mobiles in the city, and as this race
is free-for-all contest, it is expected
that nearly all of the local autoists
will participate, as well as the one

There will be free-for-all trotting
or pacing race, which looks like an
interesting contest. Already there
are entered in this race Prince Hal,
the speedy PAGER owned by William
Begsley; Ida G.. and Lulu Blackford,

probability that Beminji Belle,
owned by w. T. Blakeley of Farley

lady riders, and there are already
three entries in this race.

Clever Western Play Coming.

I'm Wyoming," H. E. Pierce &
Co.'S great play of western ranch
life, will be the attraction at the City
Opera House soon. The selection
of this drama of the West will meet
with wide approval in Bemidji and
the production itself promises to be
one of the most pretentious that
will be seen here during the present
season.
In Wyoming" is genuine
American play, replete with virility
and strength. Willard Mack, the
author, has skillfully combined his
ingredients of dramatic interest with
the proper admixture of comedy,
and has succeeded in evolving rare
play wherein swiftly alternating
laughs give place frequently to
moments of intense pathos. The
scenes are held near Casper, Wyo-
ming. The management has furni-
shed complete scenic production,
which will be used in its entirety
during the engagement.
At City Opera House, Wednesday,
Sept. 18th.

The days events will close with
pony race, open to all ponies under
fourteen hands high.
On Friday there will be another
fve-mile automobile race with prizes
for each mile.
A feature of Fridays race pro-
gram will be an attempt by Prince
Hal to beat the harness track record,
which is 2:13A, The first record
of the track under 2:2O was made by
Little Jim, driven by Bob Cherry,
in the first heat of free-for-all race
on September 20, 1907, the time
being 2:15A. On June Fl. 1908,
Bob Cherry again lowered the record
of the track with Little Jim, placing
the figures at 2:13A.
Prince Hal, in his attempt to
lower the track record, next Friday,
! will be paced by two running horses,
each taking him half a mile.
| It is believed that Prince Hal
will come pretty close to the mark,
as he is in splendid condition.
A unique race will be between
Shetland ponies ridden by little girls
under IL years of age. This race
will be single half-mile dash.
There will be another running race
with lady riders.
The races will conclude with a
pony race, ponies not to exceed
