How Ii This for Eaters:

Hog jowl and cow peas formed an ap-
propriate New Years dish for the people
Of Atlanta, and the Atlanta Journal broke
forth into a paean of pea praise. which
provokes the Norfolk Virginian- Pilot to
say:
Mighty good eating. brother. we avow.
But it doesn't stand ace high to q dinner
Of hog jowl. turnip tops. and cornmeal
dumplings, with an old-fashioned Virginia
bag pudding on the side. Such a feast
would make the mouth Of Epicurus water
and Lucullus weep with envy"

SINGING RAP FOR
WILSON IS GIVEN
BY W. R. HEARST
Fears He Might Repudiate Prin-
ciples of Today if Made
President.

LONDON, Sept, Discussing va
rious presidential candidates William
Il. Hearst gave his views in part as
follows:
President Taft, who was elected on
promises to reduce the tariff, which he
has not reduced but rather increased
has relied upon his reciprocity agree
ment with Canada to cover up his
shortcomings in the matter of a gem
eral tariff. Now that his reciprocity
scheme has been rejected by Canada.
It may induce him to turn with more
serious purpose toward the realization
of his election promises.
Il think that If Taft is nominated he
stands very good chance of being
rejected, Insurgents are very dissat-
isfed, and If Taft were nominated it
would probably lead to the election Of
the Democratic candidate.
Mr. Harmon. of Ohio / put out of
the question on the ground that ne is
too conservative. l think 1t would be
impossible to secure the selection of
second edition OF Judge Parker by the
Democratic masses.
Then there is Woodrow Wilson, who
is very cleNeT man, VINO some time
ago was exerting his ability in order
to prove that the initiative, the refer
endum and the recall were things evil
iii themselves and the adoption of
which would be detrimental 10 the
Commonwealth. He is now using the
same abilities in order to prove that
the initiative, referendum and recall
ought to be adopted as the fundamen-
tai planks of the Democratic platform.
I don't for a moment hint that Mr..
Woodrow Wilson may not be perfectly
sincere in advocating today what he
denounced yesterday, but there is an
uneasy feeling that if he were in
stalled in the White House the princi-
pies he advocates today he might in all
sincerity and honesty repudiate tomor-
row.
"Of the other candidates there are
two in Congress. Champ Clark and
Oscar w Underwood are both good
men. either Of whom would make a
good President"
OF these two he favors Clark at

According to the schedules of the de-

CONF FUSION
RAMPANT
IN VOTING
Question Of Registration
Creates Chaotic Con-
ditiOn at Polls.

Considerable confusion prevailed at
all of the polling places throughout the
county today because of the interpre-
tations of the complicated Geran cleo
tion law Some of the election officers
were of the opinion that If. a man voted
at the last general election he was en-
titled to vote at the primary today
without registering. Other of the cleo
ton officers held that a man must first
register anew before he could cast his
ballot.
The Misunderstanding of the law
complicated matters and delays were
frequent in the casting of ballots.
According to the ruling of Assistant
Attorney General Gaskill and City
Counsel James r. Nugent, it was not
necessary for a person to register be-
fore voting as long as he voted at
the last general election. Judge Mar
tin, of the Circuit Court, holds that q
person must be registered this year be-
fore he can legally deposit his vote,
according to the provisions of the
GeTan election law.
City Clerk Connolly when asked the
exact meaning of the law regarding
registration said:
II am sure that l do not know
exactly what the law means. l do not
think there is anyone who does. AS
far as / am able to tell 1t will not make
any difference whether a man regis
tered before voting or voted on the
strength of having voted at the last
general election. 1t will not make any
of the votes illegal, in my opinion"
Law Janus-Fncedi Looks Both Ways.
Election officers who permitted men
to vote without first registering, and
those who did the reverse, both claimed
they were following out the provisions
of the law.
In the districts where the more in
telligent voters live, many refused to
vote on the grounds that too much
time was occupied in registering and
preparing tho ballots A number of
these men went to the polls but tired
OF waiting and left the polling places
without casting their ballots.
Among those timed as to the time il
took them to vote was Alfred N Dal-
rymple chairman of the county regular
Republican, committee. 1t took him
five minutes to register. prepare hts
ballot and deposit It in the ballot box.
John A. Clifford. of the Wilson Demo

Counsel for Banker Says
Action Will Be De-
tended.

AS exclusively foretold in the Eve
by DR.. Henry w. Thayer. of Netcong,
against David M. Cook, president of
the Citizens National, Bank of the
same place, claiming $25, 900 damages
for the alienation of the affections of
his wife, Elsie ID. Thayer.
At the time the Evening STAR first
stated that an alienation suit would
be commenced 1t was denied from va
rious sources, but the papers are now
in the hands of Sheriff Harrigan for
service as soon as Cook can be To-
Gated
The Cook -Thayer imbroglio has
stirred the borough of Netcong to its
depths, and charges and counter
charges have been floating around for
the past month, or ever since DIR.
Thayer, who had formerly been a
warm friend of Cooks. punched him in
the face on the depot platform at Net
cong about a month ago.
In the papers filed today by Attorney
Jacob l.. Newman, as counsel for DIR.
Thayer, it is charged that since No
vember Is, 1907, until the present time
Mr.. Cook has deprived DR. Thayer of
the affection and comfort, fellowship,
society and association of his wife,
Elsie D. Thayer, and has "alienated
and destroyed her affection for him"
II is learned that DR.. Thayer and
his wife are still living together
Frederick w. Smith. counsel for
David NJ Cook. stated today that he
had not yet seen the papers in the
alienation suit.
1T certainly will be defended" was
