PUTS PRESIDENT IN
THE LORLMER CLASS

OYSTER BAY, July 29,-The renom-
nation of President Taft by the Re-
publican national convention last
month was compared by Colonel Roose.
velt today to the election of William
Lorimer to the United States senate.
The two cases, he declared, stand on
the same moral plane, and Taft t's nom.
nation, IN his opinion. can be defended
only on grounds which would justify
Mr.. Lorimer s election. Had the Chi
cago convention been organized hon.
estly, he said. there would have been a
majority of over 100 against Mr.. Taft.
Colonel Roosevelt s statement was in
reply to the administration S defense
Of the proceedings at Chicago which
was issued yesterday at Washington.
&C. saw in the papers that Mr. Root
said he would have voted for the Texas
cases. DR., Butler is said to have de-

ment
Alleged Statement.
"several are reported to have said
they would have voted for the Califor.
MIA cases. If these cases alone had
been reversed, even if the Texas cases
alone had been reversed, Mr.. Taft
could not have been nominated.
"f honestly organized, the conven.
tlon would have been against Mr.. Taft
by over 100 majority. Moreover, aside
from the stolen delegates which gave
the fraudulent majority, Mr.. Taft's
vote was made up three-fourths by the
rotten borough delegates from the
southern states, where there is no real
Republican party, and which never cast
Republican electoral vote. and from
the hand picked delegates OF Messrs.
Barnes. Penrose. Guggenheim 6 Co.
from the north.
"There are politicians and newspa-
pers who continue to uphold Mr.. Lori,
there was nothing improper about his
election. Almost all these politicians
and newspapers and some others in addi-
tlon make precisely similar assertions
that there was no fraud or thefts of
delegates at the Chicago convention.
One assertion has precisely as much
merit as the other.
''The fraudulent nomination of Mr..
Taft can be defended only upon
Lorimer's election to and his retention
in the senate
Makes Prediction,
Colonel Roosevelt predicted tonight
that the new party would draw heavily
upon the Democratic party in many
parts of the country. While he ex.
poets that considerable part of the
% silk stocking vote in the Republ-
can party will be against him, he be-
lieves this will be more than offset by
accessions from the Democrats. espec-
tally among the working men in that
party.
Colonel Roosevelt sent message to.
day to the progressives of Missouri.
who are to hold their state convention
tomorrow. He was told that a re.
cruit from the Democratic Arty in
Missouri had prophesied the
Roosevelt ticket would be kprted
by 30 per cent Of the Democ the
state. The colonel thought kuId
get so per cent Of the Repub tie.

among the spectators, and when the
smile was not returned his face blanched

Jack Rose also refused to talk until he
had been given the promise that for the

that Becker was entitled TO be represent

Taft Electors Chosen.

RENO, New. July 2s.-At a second
state convention OF the regular Repub-
lican party held here today Thomas Nell
son OF Reno, w. w. Booth OF Topopah
and w. NJ. McGill of Ely were nominated
as Republican presidential electors for
the state OF Nevada
The nomination OF electors was omitted
at the first convention of the Repub-
Ncans, because II was thought the state
primary law required such nominations
TO be made at the September primaries.
To make doubly sure. however. a sec
ond convention was called to supply the
omission.
The move was further prompted by the
action of the progressive party conven-
ton with nominated electors instead of
waiting for the primaries. thus causing
apprehension lest no Republican presi-
dental electors be permitted on the Off
cial ballot In November
The law concerning the nominations Is
still In doubt and the supreme court
has been asked to pass upon the interpre-
tation OF the new primary law. This

Lectures on Tennys0n and Shakespeare-Discussed
 Macbeth Last Night

"The Tragedy of Ambition: Macbeth" was the subject of Edward Howard Griggs' lecture at the high school last night, and the attendance was up to the high standard of the first of the week MT Griggs Is attracting a great deal of at tention in Birmingham with his series of remarkable lectures on Tennyson and Shakespeare, devoting the afternoons to discussion of the works of Tennyson and talking on Shakespeare's plays in the evening. He delivered a beautiful lecture yesterday afternoon on Tn Memoriam: The Period of Grief and Struggle
 Last night in The Tragedy of Ambition, Macbeth" he took what he termed the third of a wonderful tragic trilogy of Shakespeare consisting of Othello. King Lear and Macbeth. There is no connec- ton in the plots of the three plays. but they are complimentary to each other" he said Tn Othello there is the tragedy of fate; in King Lear there is a mixture of good and evil; in Macbeth there is the simplest tragedy of guilt that can be found in any of Shakespeare damas.
 The clear ethical insight of Shake speare IS shown by Macbeth, said MT. Griggs last night Macbeth was dom- mated by ambition. It held him so long that an outraged world rises up and blots out the offender. The play contains nu- merous epigrams and moral sayings. This is the proof that it was written by Shake- speare when he was a complete master of his powers. It was written quickly, but not with undue haste.
 Tn Lady Macbeth we have a stronger, far more terrible character. She is far more ambitious than her husband, main- tains all her feminine ways. and yet plots the murder of the king and keeps it be- fore Macbeth" Mir. Griggs carried the plot along and read the entire scene of the murder of Duncan. His reading is re- markable. and his explanations clear and beautiful.

 Purpose of the Visit
 Not Known
HERE ALL DAY TODAY

Gov Emmet o'Neal. State superinten- dent of Education Willingham and the governors secretary, J. D. McNeel, ar rived in Birmingham last night and will remain in the city today.
 Governor ONeal will hold conference this morning with the members of the excise commission, the purpose of which could not be ascertained. He is also in town to take up some matters pertaining to the state normal schools and it is un- derstood that Superintendent of Education Willingham and Secretary McNeel will leave this morning for Livingston to visit the normal school at that point.
 Governor ONeal expressed much gratif- cation at the result of the primary cleo tion in Georgia and spoke enthusiastically of the increased interest the Georgia and Florida elections would give to the can didacy of Oscar Underwood for the dem- ocratic nomination for President of the United States. He stated the vote in these two states was most significant of the fact that the people were behind Ala bamas favorite and that his prospects of capturing the nomination grew brighter every hour.
 Governor ONeal has several business appointments in the city and will remain in Birmingham all day today.

Says Man Who Will Be Three Times President Has Not Yet
 Been Born

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Taft, AS delegates.
 Roosevelt, PIT delegates.
 Other candidates, 50 delegates.
 Necessary for nomination, 540
 Needing to nominate Taft, 9S.
 Needing to nominate Roosevelt. s23. Delegates yet to be elected, 366.
 As the New York Herald says, it will be Taft on the first ballot:
 With amazing frequency we republicans in Alabama are advised Cby parties out side of the regular organization that a great movement is heading our way that will sweep the good old state of Alabama into the republican column, but some how or other it does not come. A scrap book filled with these headlines cover ing the past 15 years would show that there were no more blank applications for Ted's Ananias club left.
 The man that will three times be Pres ident of this country Is not yet born and will not be until dissolution and decay of our great republic is far advanced. and this will never be. Taft will suc- ceed himself and Alabama will remain democratic until the republicans get to- gether and quit advancing these political cyclones that are going to sweep our enemies into perdition when really after the smoke clears away only ourselves are hurt.
