Leaders Counted on to Aid Cause
Scarce After Columbus Speech.

Leaders Counted on to AID Gauss
Scarce After Columbus Speech.
| Washington, D. c., March T.
While asserting positively the fight
against Taft will be to a finish, the
most ardent friends admit Col. Roose'
velt's candidacy for the Republican
nomination has disappointed their ex'
pectations.
Leaders who were counted on tc
assist the cause have not done so.
Nor has the Colonel's name Caught
on in the Republican rank and file
to the extent which was confidently
hoped.
Before Col. Roosevelt made his Co.
lumbus speech, and while with his
gubernatorial and editorial friends,
he was planning to toss his hat into
the ring, certain things were counted
on which have not happened. Two,
possibly three, designations from
President Taft's Cabinet were relied
upon.
Secretaries Meyer and Stimson,
Roosevelt believed, and, probably,
Postmaster General Hitchcock, would
desert Taft. Senator Lodge, accord
ing to the information then received,
planned to lead the Roosevelt move
ment in New England. Senators La
Toilette and Cummins were expected
to retire and give Roosevelt the un-
disputed support of the progressive
wing of the party.
Spoiled by Columbus Speech.
Meyer, Stimson and Lodge, and
perhaps Hitchcock, too, would have
followed the course indicated had it
not been for the Columbus speech.
They had no idea Roosevelt would
adopt doctrines more extreme even
than those of the then ultraextremist,
Mr.. La Toilette. The Columbus
speech drove all the Influential lead
ers of the Republican regular organi-
cations into giving Taft genuine
shoulder-to-shoulder support.
The business element of the Repub-
licanism developed sudden enthusi-
asm for Taft. This is particularly
true in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New York and and Massachusetts,. At At
the same time the Columbus speech
failed to win all the progressives.
The word now coming to Washington
is that in progressive territory
Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Oregon and Washington-La
Toilette continues to be the favored
candidate of the Republican in
surgents.

MAN FOUND IN SURF. AT ST. ST.
MON WAS THOUGHT ro
BE DEAD.
LIFE HAD LEFT. HIS BODY
But Physicians and Others Worked
for Some Little Time and Finally
Saved Man, Who is Yet in Serious
Condition.

With life practically extinct and
cry, man, who was thought to have
been drowned on st. Simon Thurs
day, was saved, and, though his con-
dition is still critical, it is now be-
lieved that he will recover
The man, who is asmembec of the
crew OF the steamship Bodo, went
down to st. Simon with other mem
bers of the crew Thursday morning.
Early in the afternoon they al went
themselves near the pier. The man
was seen to disappear under the
water and later he was seer floating
near the wharf. One Or two persons
brought to the beach. Those who saw
him when he was first taken from
the surf were of the opinion that he
was dead.
Fortunately physicians hap 2ened to
be near and they were summoned and
quick examination was made, and
it was discovered that there was still
life in the body, but little hope was
entertained at the time. Everything
possible was done The man was
rolled around the beach; a barrel was
secured and he was placed on it and
rolled for five or ten minutes; water
was pumped out of his stomach, hy-
perdermics were administered. and,
after the physicians had worked for
a half hour, the man was brought to
/ life again, and though in weak con-
dition and still in a serious state,s
the physicians continued to work or
him, with the result that yesterday
he was reported to be considerably
improved and will probably recover.
1t was stated by those who rescued
the man that had he not been noticed
floating in the water as soon as he
was life would have been extinct in
few seconds. AS matter OF fact
he was practically dead when the
physicians began work on him, and
through their untiring efforts, together
with assistance rendered by others
present, he was saved.
The man was removed to a Learby
hotel on the island and contlnr ed to
improve and it was announced that
he would be brought to the city and

PURCHASES A PRETTY SITE
TO ERECT A HOME At ONCE
ADJOURNED MEETING OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS HELD YES
TERDAY MORNING.

The county commissioners he'd an
adjourned meeting yesterday nc rning
to consider and act upon the proposed
contract with the Georgia Cesst &
Piedmont railroad company in connec--
ton with the extension of the iin
to Brunswick. Vice President Mel,-
des and E. F. Twitty, of counse. fOt
the company, were present, and al
details of the contract were agreed
upon.
The main feature of the contract
is a provision for the operation of a
motor car service over the Eridges
and trestle of the Altamaha river for
automobiles and all other classes, of
vehicles. This solves the very seri-
Gus problem involved in getting this
city on the great East-to- South au-
tomobile highway, and insures Bruns-
wick now being on that route. Be
sides it gives the people of Eruns-
wick, Darien, Savannah and interven%
ing points just what they have long
desired, namely, some practical quick
means of crossing the Altamaha
river.
1t is impossible to overestimate the
great advantage to the business in
terest of Brunswick as result of
the action of the railroad representa-
tives and the county commissioners
in entering into this contract
