Representative Hooper Alexander, of
DeKalb, prohibition leader in the house

prescribed 5000 entrance fee, and an
nounced himself a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
Mr.. Alexander's announcement, made
with theatrical suddenness and without

became an absorbing topic Of comment
around the state capitol, in the hotel
Hobbies, and among politicians gener-

He had been suggested as candi-
date many times. It was rumored just
after the Tippins bill passed the house
some ten days ago that Alexander
would be a candidate Then it was said
that he would run if Governor Brown
vetoed the Tippins bill,
When. however, the Tippins bill was
vetoed yesterday, Mr.. Alexander said he
still was undetermined whether to run,

3RD- TERM ASPIRATIONS
Root Tells Him His Nomination
Was Entirely Legal and
His "TitIe Clear"

WASHINGTON. Aug 1.-William
Howard Taft today accepted the nomi-
nation of the Republican party for a
second term as president in a speech
marked by sharp attacks on Theodore
Roosevelt and the Democratic party.
He wasted no time in launching his at
tack on Roosevelt, saying at the very
outset of his speech:
"a faction sought to force the party
to violate a valuable and time-honored
national tradition by entrusting the
power of the presidency for more than
two terms to one man, and that man
one whose recently avowed political
views would have committed the party
to radical proposals involving dams er-
Gus changes in our political constftu-
tional representative form of govern
ment and our independent judiciary.
The Aldrfch- Payne tariff law Of 1909
was approved by the president when he
said;
The statement has been widely cir
culated and has received considerable
support from political opponents, that
the tariff act of 1909 is a prominent
factor in creating the high cost of liv-
ing. This is not true A careful in
vestigation will show that the phenome-
non of increased prices and cost of liv-
ing is world wide in its extent and
quite as much in evidence in other
countries of advanced civilization and
progressive tendencies as in our own"
The address of notification was made
to President Taft by Elihu Root, of
New York, who presided as temporary
and permanent chairman of the Re
publican national convention in Chi

Shortly before II O'Clock the indi-

committee left the executive offices and
proceeded up the cement walk to the
front door of the white house
At 1880 O'Clock, after the committee
had been seated in the east room. Mrs.

tant secretary of the navy.

Will Give Testimony
Rejecting on Grace.

These witnesses are designed to
prove that Grace had been unfaith-
nj to his wife even while she was
giving him money amounting to
$4,000 or $4,000, and after she
had started him in business. The
defense declared that after tearing
down the alleged case against the
wife made by the prosecution, it
would go further to show that
Grace had frequently beaten
Daisy that he had threatened to
kill her, but that Notwithstanding
his inhuman treatment she still
loved him so that she swore an
oath after the shooting never to
tell how it had come about, and
promised even to get rid of Grace s
pistol in order to save scandal and
his name in society
Daisy Grace had made a promise in
this case ana she had kept it," said her
lawyer Now she will tell the whole
story and this whole disgraceful mys-
terry will be cleared away
Branch asserted that the defense
would clearly prove that Mrs Grace
had not married her husband for his
money but, on the contrary had given
him sums amounting to $4,000 or $50
600 in one year.
In return for these gifts, the lawyer
said, Grace continually mistreated his
wife. beating her on many occasions,
and had even run around" with for
mer sweetheart Of his from Phladel-
phia.
The attorney said he would establish
that Grace could not have been shot at
the time he said he was, because he
had been using the phone in the house
as late as 10 O'Clock on the morning Of
the shooting And we viii prove. said
Branch. that on that day Grace had
sought to get his wife TO leave At
lauta presumably because he wished to
make an appointment with a former
sweetheart and meet her

that there was nothing unusual there
that day up to IL o'clock. That Grace
