house 10 a large crowd at Houston
He was introduced by H.J.Ingram,S ST
and during the course of his speech
frequently was interrupted by APP
plause Mr.. Glass. while following
upon lines heretofore brought out
stated that his position at first was
not to seek the office Of Senator
but when he found that it had been
negotiated for he then decided to
make the run. He stated that whilC
prohibition was not an issue, his po-
sition was at least known; that the
reason ii had been made an issue
was that his opponent wished
to get campaign funds from liquor
people. He scored the subsidized
press and unfair attempts to place
him in a compromising position be-
fore he had announced his can
didacy; the Intellectual career of his
opponent in Congress and the bank
rupt condition of the State treasury
left by his opponent.

"Of course, have got to live with

after he is dead, say, kid, we will go
away from here together, and whether
we can get married or not we will take
a chance. This is the beginning OF a
complete confession Of all that Beuiah
Binford, the woman in the Beattie case,
has made to Detective Scherer and
which he has in his possession at this
time. This confession makes complete
the one single thing that makes the
story complete in every way and FUR
nishes the motive for the murder OF
Mrs. Louise Owen Beattie. Detective
Scherer has other features which be
has men running down, but these have
not developed. 1t is understood that
the Binford woman is soon to be moved

SAW BEAT1lE THERE
At Scene Of Crime Before Wife Was
Slain, Witness Says.

The latest feature in the Beat
tie case is the fact that Roland
SydnOr. the Chesterfield county
dairyman. who. with his son. Elmer,
passed an automobile that night
standing al the very spot where the
murder was a short time afterward
cOmmiits was taken to the Jail and
confronted with Henry Beattie. whom
he thereupOn positively declared was
the occupant of the car.
When Beattie left his home for
the home Of Thomas Owen. where
his wife was stopping. he should
have arrived in few minutes AS a
matter of fact, II took him over an
hour to make the trip. and it is the
theory OF the prosecution that he
drove up the turnpike, waited for an
opportunity. hid the shotgun which
he had carried with him and then
went back and got his wife.

THE PRIMARY.

A primary election is msunder-
stood by some people. 1t means that
the voters of the party agree to sub
nit to an election as to who shall be
the nominees Of that party. In other
words. it is a political arbitration.
The voters agree to decide by the
ballot-box who the candidates OF
that party shall be on the regular
election day. Therefore, a man who
votes at the primary election Is IN
. honor bound to vote on election DAY
for the men nominated in the pri-
mary. And this applies to local
county officers as well as it does to
United States Senators and Con
gressmen. So that if man votes
at the primary election for local
county officers, he is in all honor and
good morals bound to vote at the
regular election for the men noml-
mated for these offices just as much
and to the same extent as if the pri-
mary was had to nominate member
of the Legislature or Senator.
Let us illustrate. Suppose voter
who votes in a primary has a bitter
Personal enemy being voted for at
the primary election. If that per-
sonal enemy is nominated at that
primary, then the voter is in honor
bound TO cast his ballot for him at
the regular election. If this were
not the rule governing primary cleo
tons they would be veritable farce,
if not a fraud. When a voter casts
his ballot at a primary election, nc
matter for what Office or who are
candidates, he thereby binds himself
to vote at the regular election fol
whoever is nominated in that pri
mary. A voter may not like the
method of nominations by primary
election; he may oppose the whole
plan and system. Nevertheless if hi
votes in the primary be is bound II
all honor to abide by the results Of
the primary and vote for the candi
dates nominated, and he can not anC

FORSYTH. Ga. July 2G.-The finding
of a valuable gold watch and chain IN
the stomach OF a large alligator that
died in a pond near here is believed
TO solve the mystery OF the disappear
ance Of twelve yearold Janet Thorn
som from the home Of her parents al
Island Grove, Fla. two years ago.
The alligator was captured near
Island Grove some weeks after the
girl disappeared and was brought 10
Forsyth by J. NJ. Jackson.
The little girl has never been heard
from since she disappeared. When last
seen she was standing on the banks Of
the lake where Jackson captured the
alligator. and she was wearing at the
time gold watch OF the Walthau
make. with her initials engraved on
the back OF the watch. The same mi
tails are on the back Of the watch dis
covered on the inside Of the dead ALI
