Congress: that fromzireg privilege, which has
added SO many thousands of tons to the Junk
echich the Southern haozs during the aoeigh-
eng period! Yes, indeed, the Southern
would hate to lose Congressman Livingston.
and the Southern Railroad have no concern
whatsoever. But they dote on Congressman
Livingston. They need him in their business.
And they are going to keep him, If they cam.
But the old rascal is on the slide. at last.
He will join the Down and Out gang this
year.
HIS desertion to- the Republicans on Morch

In the vast increase in the cost of living,
the people have an object lesson of qoh0t that
act Of treachery has cost the country. Can
non himself declared that the new tariff law
is due directly to the aid which the twenty
three Democratic Deserters gave him at the
critical moment. The thing as too recent to
be Forgotten before election dag. And every
time you pay BILL you are feelingly remind
ed of it.
Whatever influence Livingston has with
the Republicans, IS due to his occasionally
helping them. IF Atlanta wants a Congress-
man who stands we'll with Republicans, qOhy
not elect a Republican? A Democrat who
does not dare to aid them often, cannot win
who would not dare to refuse to aid them all
the time.
Therefore, the Atzanto moizziomaires qoho
e0ant Livjngston retained, because Of has pull
aoith the Republicans, ARE NOR CON-
SISTENT. They ought to support Walter
Johnson for Congress. Or Ed Angler Or
Judge Robert L. Rogers.
If the purpose Of The Moral Element of
AtZant0 as to haze q Congressman p0ho cam
influence Republicans, that purpose should
be caaadidzy confessed, AND 4 REAL
REPUBLICAN ENTERED FOR THE
RACE.
And if Livingston bases his claim for an
other term upon the same idea, he oaOes 1t to
The Moral Element to step doom, IN fovor of
Walter Johnson, or some other Republican.
The Democratic Congressman who seeks
reelection on the ground that he has pull
with such Republicans as that corrupt and
Trust owned squad 4o0o0 IN p0a0er makes a
cynical admission that he is political prosti-

and the regime of Countess Marguerite
Cassini at the Russian embassy the Ital-
ian ambassador and his wife were leaders
in series of brilliant entertainments
given for the younger set In later years
however they confined their programme
to dinner parties and really charming
entertainments of smaller scale. The
departure of the Italian ambassador and
the naming of his successor not only
placed Italy at the foot of the list of
embassies in Washington, but advanced
the Austro-H Hungarian ambassador, Baron
Hengelmuller Won Hengervar, to the
dignity of dean of the corps in this
country.
Then came the death of Senior Joaquin
Nabuco, the Brazilian ambassador and
the consequent withdrawal from Wash
ington of his family, who had been bril-
liant additions to the social colony. The
Nabucos were genuinely liked on all
! sides. This gap in the list of ambassa-
doris has not yet been filled.
! The departure of the Spanish minister,
the Marquis of Villalobar was accom-
panied by more or less gossip of an in
teresting nature. He is said to have
taken affront at one of the White House
receptions because somebody connected
| with the White House staff prevented
him from oversteppng the rules of diplo-
matte etiquette and joining several am
bassadors who were in close CONVERSE
ton. The story was denied, but shortly
afterward the marquis was transferred
to Lisbon.
Interesting rumors also accompanied
this move. Villalobar used to be Sec

tween Alfonso and the Princess Ena OF
Battenberg-that he SO successfully
played the go-between for the young
lovers that he was promised one day to
be made Spanish ambassador at Lon
don-a favor he has long coveted. In or
der to reach London, however, it was
necessary that the minister serve at at
least two important posts. Washington
where he remained less than a year
being the first and Lisbon next.

THIS EXCITEMENT

Middletown had some excitement for
n time last evening. It was not due
to the comet nor to the storm. but to

John Anderson, of Cecilton, arrived
in Middletown with the bull, leading it
by a rope tied to a ring in its nose.
While passing the school campus two
dogs ran at the bull and it became en-
ragged. Breaking away from its driver
the bull chased several children. and

and beat the bull away from Anderson.
Two other men secured the ropes and
while being chased around a telephone
pole, succeeded in tying the bull up. A
butchers float was then secured and

"CANNONTSM"
TO Be ISSUE
Insurgents May Make no Fur
ther Attempt to Gust
Speaker
FACTIONS VIEW EACH
OTHER WITH SUSPICION

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON, May 25.-It became
apparent today that "Cannonism" will
be one Of the big issues in next falls
terrific congressional campaign
A powerful wing of the House in
surgents, the "conservativesS today
determined not to attempt to unseat
Uncle Joe" as speaker at this ses-
sion, but to save him as a big issue
for their fight for reelection this fall
AS conclusively told in the United
Press dispatches yesterday, they feel
confident that on this issue they will
have the support of Colonel Roosevelt.
A certain number of radical in
surgents, however, believe that Cannon
should be ousted and that an attempt
should be made to vacate the speak
er's chair at this session. They feel
that with the legislative program out
of the way. the progressives in the
closing days of the session should
quietly remove him" The conserva-
tive insurgents sa ythat If Cannon
continues batting the insurgents as in
his New York speech when he de-
clared that shooting is too good fol-
them they should be hanged" and in
numerous speeches on the floor they
will be unable to restrain the radicals
Meanwhile Cannon and the House
organization are facing rather un-
comfortable situation. AS one progress
sive today expressed it:
Sitting on Powder Mine.
THE are sitting on a powder min'
and they have no idea just when it,
going to explode"
They have grown extremely SUSPECT
Gus, and the appearance Of Narris ol
Murdock, the insurgent leaders on the
floor with a bill of any kind, is a sigma
for activity.
Representative Dwight Republican
New York; the organization whip, is
! kept busy these days. If a majority
Of the progressives appear on the lool
/ at one time. Dwight scurries about
hurrying the organization members int
the chamber.
One of the reasons why the progres
sives hesitate to attempt to depose Can
non Immediately is the difficulty the.
would encounter in electing his sue
cessor. The insurgents would not vot
for a Democrat. or a Regular Republi
can, and the Democrats would no
elect an fnsurgent. For their own pro
lection the insurgents would be force
to deadlock the House, with every da
valuable in the coming fight at tn
polls
with Cannon as an issue, the in
surgents believe that their chances 70
victory will be greatly increased, es
pecially if they succeed in drawing
Colonel Roosevelt actively into tn
campaign to gain pledges against tn
recollection of the speaker.
The Democrats are not particular,
worried about Cannon just now, as the.
expect TO have majority in the mex
House in which event they would nam
Democratic speaker. Because o
their expectation of assuming power
the Democratic leaders at present ar
not pressing the issue for a furthe
decrease of the speakers authority.
