BACON OENoUNCES TAFT

GBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSI
ATLANTA, Aug. Ex-senator Bacon
of Georgia today denounced President
Taft for ordering the American troops
to Nicaragua, declaring the act was
unconstitutional and an open violation
OF law. He said: THE president has
overstepped his authority when he sent
troops without obtaining the consent
of congress. | recognize that a small
body of marines could be landed TO
protect American consulates, but it
is different matter to send a body
of troops to take sides in a confiicr.
He could have sent 10000 with equal
propriety. He had no further right
to send marines to Nicaragua than he
would to Mexico. 1t seems a plain
act in the interest of certain American
capitalists"

PROGRESSlVES LIKELY
TO SWEEP WYOMING

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., Aug. 31.-If
the votes of this state could be cast
next Tuesday it is a certainty that
Roosevelt and Johnson would sweep
the state by a ratio Of three to one.
Governor Wilson will make a poor
showing, but he would be ahead OF
President Taft.
Poor Taft" That's what ranchers,
merchants, real estate men and min
ers say No one thinks of the preSi-
dent as having chance to carry even
small town. After the Chicago con-
vention what few Taft men there were
closed their mouths and eyes to the
inevitable they believe will result at
the November election.
And so-if Roosevelt and Johnson
would sweep the state next Tuesday
by ratio of three to one-it is pretty
certain that this showing will be bet
ter by November. as result of Gov
ernor Johnson's visit to the state.
