Burton Controls
Ohio Situation

COLUMBUS, OHIO, June S.-Na-
tional politics today turned to the Ohio
Republican convention which went in
to session here with program entail
ing the selection of six delegates at
large to Chicago, the election Of party
officials. the nomination Of complete
state ticket and the drafting Of a gem
eral platform Of principles.
Interest centered upon a series Of
conferences between the Taft and
Roosevelt leaders and Senator Theo E
Burton, who, representing the unin-
structed delegates of Cuyahoga county
held the balance Of power between the
warning factions and who admittedly
was in a position to throw the big
six delegation either to the admins
tration forces or to the colonel.
Senator Burton closeted himself
during the morning hours first with
the secretary to the president c. d.
Hilles. and then with Walter F. Brown
manager Of the Roosevelt campaign.
1t was known that Mr. Burton was at
tempting to effect compromise be-
tween the two factions which would
split the six delegates at large divid
ing them equally between Taft and
Roosevelt. Neither MIR. Hilles nor Mr.
Brown, however would accept a com,
promise and declared that II was TO be
war TO the bitter end.
The Roosevelt men are claiming
42o Of the delegates. while the Taft
managers placed their support at 4o6,
with SIS necessary to control
Ii was known that Senator Burton
was fighting desperately for the Taft
administration, which he has repeated
" commended in the highest terms Of
praise The Roosevelt strength at the
Ohio primary and the aggressive at
tifude Of the colonel's supporters in
'odays convention, however, overawed
the senator and he was not willing to
lay his political future on the altar OF
sacrifice for one faction or the other

GEORGIA HIGH COURT
MAKES RECORD FOR
AFFIRMING PENALTIES

In a single year The Georgia supreme
court has disposed of "a capital cases
and but in two instances has the judg-
ment of the trial court been reversed.
Sixteen of these cases came to the
high court with the extreme penalty
-death-assigned, and not single
judgment was reversed. OF the sixteen
slayers all but three went to the gall
lows two took their own lives and one
was killed In attempting to escape.
These figures were given out by At
torney General Fielder and cover the
work Of the court since July. 1911 OF
the "a judgments, two were reversed,
three dismissed and the remainder af-
hrmed. A dismissal amounts to the
same in matter of fact as an affirma-
ton. There are seven capital cases
now pending before the court.

What it was that brought Mr.. Wat

oppose Senator Bacon is not known
positively.
Certain it is, friends close to Mr..
Watson. with his knowledge and con-
sent, gave currency to a statement of
a seemingly categorical nature, as late
as Saturday last, that Mr. Watson
surely would be in the senatorial race,
and that Congressman Hardwick like
ly would oppose him.
Mr. Hardwick was quoted as having
said that he certainly would oppose
Watson, should Watson run.
Some of Mr.. Watsons friends in At
lanta are of the opinion that recent
developments with respect to Mr. Wat
sons arrest for improper use of the
mails may have had something to do
with his sudden decision to abandon
the senatorial race

If the right ear of the Hon Thomas
Z. Watson burns excessively nowadays
1t is because people are talking about
him
For one reason or another he doesn't
fade from the limelight little bit, and
just now the question of his party reg
ularity is the thing that particularly IS
agitatlng the minds Of various pa
triotic and liberty loving persons hero
and there
Inasmuoh as the red headed person
was handed pretty regular set of ere
dentials by the state convention the
other day, the question Of hia right and
title 10 them now does seem TO some a
problem about as interesting as wheth-
er it is worth while to lock the stable
door after the equine thing has depart
ed-still the boys" are discussing the
question vigorously, some in JOY and
some in sorrow. and It is doubtful that
the end is yet, or in sight even.
The people. being the Jury will judge
only the facts in the case The law
they viii take from the court-if they
can locate the court, beyond the shadow
of q rea sonable doubt
The facts are as follows. Previous tc
the gubernatorial campaign of 1906 all
hands agreed that the Hon Thomas h
Watson was not even fractionally reg
ular He was cIinging to his old Pop
affiliations, and not caring q boot who
knew IT.
When the Hoke Smith band Wagon
drove around IN 1905 In the Hon, Tom

either expressed or implied, climbed
aboard And the band wagon went &c
victory-and the Hon Tom got stamr
of regularity from that outfit, surely
In the campaign Of 1908 Watson ia
vored Brown against Smith. and Brown
won
In the campaign of 1910 the Hon
Tom, still O. KID, all right, supported
Governor Brown as against Governor
Smith--or at least favored Brown
and Brown lost Whereupon the Hon
Tom began a campaign for Brown
without Browns consent. calling upor
the people to elect Brown as an indie
pendent Notwithstanding the fact that
Governor Smith had won out in the
primary
And Mr.. Watson carried several
counties for Brown in that post-pri-
mary effort, too
Many folks now are claiming that
Watson's action in 1910 forfeited any
stamp of regularity the Hoke Smith
people previously may have put upon
him
Now. via the 1912 Underwood cam
paign, the Hon Tom has had his Dem
ocratic hat put on straight once more.
Do you grasp the standing of the
Hon. Thomas e Watson inside the
Democratic party today, gentle reader
or obstreperous reader, as the case
may be?
It is much in the point Of view, per-
