New York Colleagues View That New

rAtlanta (Ga.) Journai.l
Senator O'Gorman Of New York do
clares that Woodrow Wilson II chosen
the Democratic nominee can carry that
state against any Republican.
A weightier comment on present day
politics has not been made. It brushes
the himsy pretension that Woodrow
Wilson's candidacy would lose or i'm
peril the party's chance in New York
state and indicates his strength In the
strategic center of the east as well as
in the west and the south.
Coming from n leader Of Senator
O'Gorman's prestige and farsighted.
ness, this estimate is particularly sig
nif1cant. He Is the titular head of the
Democracy of New York, state that
has ninety votes In the nominating
convention and forty-five votes In the
electoral college, the state for which
both parties strive most vigorously in
presidential years as the key to ma
tional success. He has the support of
Tammany Hall, but he is immeasura-
bly, beyond and above the system with
which Tammany is identified In the
public mind. He is versed In prac-
teal politics, but he is also a states
man Of spotless record and of rare
ability, so much so indeed that when
he was called to the senate the people
as a whole. regardless of party con
nections, rejoiced that the duties Of the
Office had fallen upon a man SO emil
nently fitted to bear them.
OF all the Democratic nominees yet
suggested Woodrow Wilson would not
only stand the largest chance to carry
New York. but. according to the recent
testimony of Senator Gardner OF
Maine, he Is the only Democrat who
could win portions Of New England.
From the clear headed testimony Of
these two eminent Democrats. Sena-
tor OGorman of New York and Sena-
tor Gardner of Maine. It is evident that
Governor Wilson Is particularly strong
in the very places wherein his foes
would have us believe he Is fatally
weak.
When to this fact is added the conf
dence and the following he has won
over the country as whole there can
be no fair minded doubt that of all
the aspirants in the field - is by far
the best fitted both as statesman and
n candidate.

THE PRESS MEETING
WILL NOT Be HELD
NATCHEZ WILL GET MEETING
NEXT YEAR, HOWEVER.
Flood Conditions And Demands
On Hospitality Of People
Caused Pretermltting Of
This Years Session.

For the first time since the Missis-
sippt State Press Association was or
ganized forty-seven years ago, there
will be no annual meeting this year.
Natchez had been selected as the con-
vention city, but the coming OF the
Unprecedented floods In the MISSISSIPPI
pi valley caused postponement OF
the meeting for one month. Further
investigation OF the existing condi.
tions inclined the officers to the be-
lief that it would be better to prefer
NIT the session entirely, and this &C
ton has been taken.
The official announcement to this
effect 10 carried to the members Of the
association throughout the state Ia
the following communication;
To the Press of the State:
After due consideration OF the mat.
ter and conferences of the officers Of
the association, and correspondence
with the Board of Commerce of
Natchez, 1t has been deemed best to
pretermit the meeting OF the Press
Association this year. This action
was taken on account OF the excessive
demands that have been made on the
people OF Natchez, who have had to
care for so many OF the flood sufferers,
the general backward condition OF all
business throughout the state, due to
the overflow and continued rains,
which would have thrown the meet
ing OF the association too late into
the summer to have been successful.
In a letter to the secretary. the
president OF the Natchez Chamb Der Of
Commerce says: 1--WE hope that this
is only deferred pleasure, as we wish

and began to cloud portentously as

Yazimoto or Aguilar. OF a countryman
Of either one. Can we have every
Jap and Filipino In Chicago rounded
up?"
Debating and discussing various
ideas, none of them seeming to offer
much hope, the boys walked aimlessly
along, killing time till the morning
was almost gone. Three times they
passed Japanese gentlemen, dressy,
smiling, bland of face and innocent in
personality. Each of these sons or
Nippon must have wondered, after
ward, why the young white devils
peered SO sharply, almost saVagely,
into their countenances, but the quick
inspections brought no comfort-none
Of them had the least likeness to Mr..
Yazimoto. Pacing onward in this de-
sultory, fruitless fashion, the bafied
messengers turned into C~hicago's
Chinatown, and hurried out of 1t again.
All Chinatowns are twinkle In their
buildings, sounds and odors, and the
memory OF recent experiences In
Doyers street Cid not give the boys
any special desire to linger in the Chi
cage colony.
Towards noon they found them
selves in a district as intensely black
in population as Hayti or Mashonaland
"a region that might have been inter.
esting to them under ordinary circum-
stances, but which was now anything
but attractive to the heartsick adven-
turers. They walked YEARLY along,
cleared, as they thought, the bound
aries OF the black belt, and entered
an u~npretentious restaurant where
they could at least talk over their
unpleasant situation. They had be-
gun a half-hearted lunch before they
noticed that the other patrons of the
place were all brunettes, of various
shades between lampblack and light
saddle-color, but the discovery did not
worry them. In theiI state of mind
they would hardly have raised objec-
tons II they had been seated at the
same table with a band of gorillas.
At the next table sat a bulky black
woman, whose billowy figure was
draped in most of the colors of the
rainbow, and who Tended off the in
quiries of the dusky waiter by explain
ing that she was "waitin' TO- a gen
tleman." The gentleman" came in a
moment later, and proved to be a
colored man of gigantic stature-such
magnitude of person that the large
negress herself was dwarfed before
him. This mammoth Zulu settled
himself comfortably, grlnned delight
edly at the woman, and summoned
the waiter with a lordly wave OF his
broad black hand.
That fellow is a twin to the one
who handed us the message in De-
troit," whispered Brockett. IF he
We're only uniformed In the same sort
of giddy costume, you couldn't tell
them apart"
II wouldn't have believed" Solano
returned, that there could be two
black men as big as those, but here's
the evidence before us. What's the use
Of raising white hopes If the black
ones grow as large as this monster?"
The great black man spoke chuck
ingly to his lady friend" and his
words were waited to the astounded
ears of the boys five feet away.
"Ah say. hon." began the big fell
