WILSON A WINNER
COL. HARVEY POINTS TO HIM AS
WINNING HEAD.
Declares That Only Progressive DEM
ocrat HAS a Chance to Garry Ban
ner in Triumphant Campaign.

Careful diagnosis of the present
temper Of the people clearly indi-
Gates that, If an election were to be
held tomorrow, a Democratic candi-
date regarded by the people less pro-
gressiye than President Taft would
be defeated, and that candidate gen
orally recognized as being more pro-
gressive, more liberal, more radical,
If you like, than President Taft
would almost as surely win"
So declared Col. Harvey OF New
York, in regard to the next presi-
Dental campaign, in the concluding
address at the ssth annual banquet
of the Hibernian society at Savannah
Friday night. Then he said:
LET the apportionment Of respon-
sibilities be even. The West has rll
nished the party, as well as the op-
position, with the majority. though
not the greatest, Of it's issues. Tbs
South is to enforce harmony and
amalgamation. The East presents
the maD-Woodrow Wilson, the
highly Americanized Scotch-Irish-
man, descended from Ohio, born in
Virginia, developed in Maryland,
married in Georgia and now deliver
ing from political bondage tbs State
Of New Jersey" These two state
ments from the framework OF Col.
Harvey's address on ''The Problem,
the Solution and the Man." or, re-
duced to plain English, the chance
the Democr-eic party has Of elect
ing president in 1912. With Gov
Wilson of New Jersey as the candi-
date, Col. Harvey sees the party's
success.
The Hibernian society banquet
was the climax to an unusual cele-
bration of St. Patrick's day which
began with a military parade, vart-
GUS Irish society meetings and
church services. In addition to Col.
Harvey's addresses were made at the
banquet by Michael ]. Jordan Of Bos-
ton, Mass; Congressman William e..
Brantly Of Georgia; Murphy G. Can
dler, railroad commissioner Of Geor-
gia; Georgia Supreme Court Justice
Joseph H. Lumpkin; the Rev. Dr..
Charles H. Strong of Savannah and

This was about O'Clock in the
afternoon and the young woman re-
NAMED in the woods from that time
until o'clock last night, when she
made her escape, there being heavy
rain most of the time and the wealth
er very cold.
Owing to the inclement weather,
the negro left Miss Judge for few
minutes in order to get some mater
ial to make covering to prctec,
them from the rain, and the young
woman took advantage Of the mo-
mentary absence Of the brute to make
her escape, although she had been
told that she would be killed if she
moved.
When she reached home most Of
her clothing was torn from her body.
When the news reached Wilmington
and other places great indignation
was expressed, and posses set out to
hunt down the fiend.

GOV. WOODROW WILSON'S TOUR OF west PROVES
BIG AID TO CHANCES FOR PRESIDENTIAL JOB

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, June 81
When Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey completed his remarkable tour
of the West and started on the last
lap of the long circuit for his home
state, he had done more, Democratic
leaders believe, to strengthen his
chances for the nomination for Pres
ident than even his most ardent ad-
mirers had prophesied.
II his impressions thus far were to
be summed up in a single sentence II
would be that there Ii no difference
that can be detected between the peo-
Pile of the West and the people of the
East on current political questions.
This point has been so forcibly DEM
onstrated at every point at which the
Governor has stopped that there Is no
mistaking IL. In Missouri, in Colo
RADIO, in New Mexico, In California, in
In Minnesota, and in all the interview
ing States across which the Cover
nor has Travelled. there have been
ample proofs of the restlessness
among those who have heretofore
aligned themselves with the Repub-
lican party. and the hopefulness OF
those progressive ones among the
Democrats who have been working
for the new era of things for years
past
To these people Gov. Wilson brought
a message which was new to them.
II was that they are not alone In their
desire for the restoration to the peo-
pie of their own goyernment-thatt the
East and the South are fully as
awake as are the West and the North.
Out here there has been feeling
that insurgency" was 10 some extent
a sectional matter. On this point
the Governor has treasured the peo-
pie. As for his own part, the lesson
he has learned has been that the pro-
gressive spirit of the West Is all that
II had been represented TO be. and
more.

THE intention Is to have the ex-

Baldwin. THE government is now

why we shall iise 1t as the starting

To Float With Ice.
"Our plan is to follow the course
of the l6jth meridian until we get
into the Ice pack, and then float along
with 1t until we float over the North

But It il not only to those who
class themselves as progressives In

being classed as insurgents--men who
pride themselves upon their con-
