= The more or less picturesque Mr..
Kent, Of Montgomery county. best
known to fame, perhaps, as the author
of the bill from which came the new
county of Wheeler. was defeated for
reelection to the house of representa-
tives by ]. c. johnson.
Mr.. Kent ran, OF course, as a repre-
sentative from Montgomery county. as
the new county of Wheeler is not vet in
existence, and will not be until after
the constitutional amendment Great
ing II is ratified by the people in No
Vember. The people of that section of
Montgomery from which is to come
Wheeler voted for Kent but the voters
OF the old section overwhelmed them
Mr. Kent is very enterprising, how
overland extremely so, it appears-for
he now has a plan up his sleeve to
whack Off still another slice of old
Montgomery, and set up an additional
new county, with Soperton as the coun-
ty seat
Mr. Kent, so the rumor goes. has de-
cided that the new county shall be
named Cleveland" in honor of the last
Democratic president Of the United
States.
Eventually, perhaps Montgomery
county win be represented on the man
of Georgia by a pale blue speck. about
the side of pinhead.
Before passing finally from the com
ment upon the Norris Patterson con-
troversy. 1t should be recalled that a
young Atlanta attorney, Carl Hutche
son, assembled almost Single-handed
and alone, all of the evidence by which
the Patterson allegations of fraud and
intimidation in Gilmer county were sus-
tanned.
Mr.. Hutcheson spent several DAYS in
Gilmer going over the situation. look
ing up witnesses, taking their deposit

ent at the hearing in Atlanta.
Much of the credit for the Patterson
victory unquestionably goes TO Hutche-

to a. H. Burtz, prominent young law

egates at large to the Republican ma
tional convention at the state conven-
ton today by a vote Of 39oh to 3621s
Immediately after the election Of the
Taft delegates and alternates the con-

when a state ticket will be named.
These Taft delegates at large as
named are:
Deleeates-Senator Theodore E. Bur
ton. Harry NJ. Daugherty, Warren y.
Harding. Charles P. Taft, Arthur /.
Vorys, D. J. Cable.
Taft's victory in Cleveland and his
strength in the cities gave him his VIC
tory. OF the eighty-eight counties Col
onel Roosevelt had a majority Of the
delegates in fifty-one and President
Taft in thirty-four.
Warren G. Harding, former candid.

convention for President Taft, was

ROBERT kEDDIE HANGS
HIMSELF IN HIS BARN

Robert Keddie, of the firm of Keddie
& st. Laurent, committed suicide by
hanging himself to a rafter in the
barn at his home, at some hour last
night. The body was found this morn
ing by his partner, after a search.
Temporary insanity over worrying
about flnart ial matters was probably
the cause Of the rash act.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kdedie spent the ev.
ening at home together, and when bed
time came, he told his wife to 20 to
bed, and he would read until he got
sleepy. She did and sleep soundly un-
til morning and woke up to find Mr..
keddfe missing. She called up the
blacksmith shop, but he was not there,
30 his partner, Mr.. st. Laurent, insti-
tuted search for him, and after q
while it was noticed that the barn was
CLOSED up tight and fastened on the in.
side.
Breaking into the barn, st. Laurent
found the body suspended from a rat.
ter. He notified Mrs. Keddie and
Frank Bowman, and the latter took the
coroner over to the Keddie home and
they cut the body down, under instruc.
ton from Coroner Morley, at about
1890 this morning.
AS near as can be learned, It was a
case Of too much worry. Mr.. Keddie
came from Selkirk, Scotland, and
came to Idaho Falls about year and
a half ago. 1t seems that he not only
invested all of his own money, but Dor.
rowed little. He was a man who
had never before been in debt, and his
obligations worried him. His friends
treasured him, as really his affairs
were in good shape and he would come
out fine, but it seems the worry got
the best Of him, with the result that
he decided to end 1t all.
He leaves a wife and two children
