AGED WOMAN SENTENCED.
Sold Misunderstanding Wine in Local
Option County.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 11.-Accord-
ing to a prohibition attorney from
Middle West Texas here before the
courts, there has recently been II
conviction for violation of the local
option law in his county which is
pathetic. The attorney will not III
low his name to be used, lest he be
considered in the attitude of criti-
cising the district judge, but he tells
a story of an old German woman
between the age of so and 65 years,
who has been given two years in the
penitentiary for violating the Local
option law because she owned
vineyard in a German settlement
and had sold some of her home
made wine to her neighbors She
admitted before the district judge
that she sold the wine but in hd'
broken English explained that the
wine could not cause drunkenness.
Under the charge OF the district
judge, says the attorney, she re-
ceived sentence of two years in
spite of her innocence of purpose
and age.

NINE GOVERNORS FOR TAFT.
CONTINUED from Page one.)

Carroll, Iowa: There is no justice n
the opposition to President Taft His adj
ministration has been clean and capable
and in harmony with platform pledges.
A just and righteous application of the
square deal would accord him renomina-
ton without a contest"
Hay, Washington: Few administfa
tions can point to the enactment of so
many wise and progressive laws as that
of President Taft's / feel it
the duty of every true Progressive Re-
publican to support Mr.. Taft for renomi-
nation and reelection"
Goldsborough, Maryland. 1T is my
opinion that President Taft has given
the country one of the best adminstra-
tions in its history. l firmly believe that
when the record of the Republican party
under his wise leadership is fully made
known to the people they will rally to his
standard, renominate and re-elect him.
Tener, Pennsylvania: I'm view of the
able manner in which President Taft
has conducted his office, the constructive
and substantial achievements of his adj
mnistration . / unhesitatingly
predict his reelection
Hopper, Tennessee: president Taft is
personally popular in Tennessee, and his
administration commands general public
confidence. The state organization is
Loyalty supporting the President and
from present indications he will get the
vote of Tennessee at the national con-
vention.'
Spry. Utah: Il am glad to reit-
crate my personal preferences for Mr..
Taft as Presidential nominee " Il
l regard him as the most logical as
well as the strongest man whose name
has been mentioned in connection
with the Republican Presidential nom
nation. | am confident that Utah will
send Taft delegation to the National
convention.
Pennewill, Del: Il am strongly in
favor of President Taft's re-nomina-
ton. His splendid record should en-
sure his reelection by large major
ity."
Pothier, Rhode Island president
Taft is a safe man at the head of the
nation. His administration has been
able and statesmanlike in the broadcast
sense. His record entities him to
denomination and which event he
should receive a most emphatic pop
ular endorsement"

SEN. BACON WOULD POSTPONE
Democratic Convention-Oate Too
Near That of Republican Convention.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Bacon
of Georgia, one of the Democratic lead
ers in the Senate, today. declared in ia
vor of postponing the Democratic con-
vention in Baltimeres which has been
called for June %, until later date, be-
cause as now arranged it would be hell
only a week after the Republican con-
vention in Chicago.
1.-The entrance of Mr.. Roosevelt in the
contest for the Republican nomination
to the Presidency" said Senator Bacon
has so complicated things that l think
the Democratic national committee
should take steps to postpone the time
for holding the Democratic convention.
1.-The Republican convention is called
for June Is, and the Democratic eon-
vention June %. just week later. At
best there cannot be more than three
days between the adjournment of the
Republican convention and the meeting
of the Democratic convention. VIII
knows that there will not be such con-
fict of views as to the platform an
aspirations of candidates as to prolons
the Republican convention beyond the
time of the meeting of the Democrat,
convention? In that event the Democrats
would be in no position to give proper
consideration of the situation, and /
think the meeting of our convention
should be deferred for two or thrc,.
weeks beyond the date now fixed to in
sure such an opportunity in case it IS
presented"
