The names of Wilson, Clark, Under

One of the features of the conven-

Louisville, KY, May 25.-Champ
Clark swept Kentucky in the Demo
cratic conventions held in 115 Of the
120 counties in the State today. Re
turns from about half the counties
give him more than the 613 ins ructed
votes necessary to control the State
convention here May 29. One county
instructed for Harmon, giving him
eight votes, and one and part of an
other for Wilson, giving him 16 votes.
This, the 5th district, comprising
Jefferson county, which held precinct
conventions today was carried for
Clark.
Victory today will give Clark the
entire delegation of 26 votes from
Kentucky to the National Democratic
convention.

VIRGINIA OPPOSED TO WILSON
Result of Democratic Convention Ex
pIained-Alieged Fertilizer Trust.

Washington, May 25.-Because OF
imperfect comprehension of the mod
us operandi," some very inaccurate re-
ports of the result of the Virginia
Democratic convention, at Norfolk
last Friday, have been circulated
Those who understand the situation
know very well that the Wilson forces
were heavily DEBATED and that the
compromise, whereby the few Wilson
delegates will be allowed to vote their
preference on the first ballot, after
which the unit rule will apply
amounts to very little at first and
nothing in the long run.
The Virginia delegation is controll-
ed by the State Democratic machine
which is opposed to Wilson and less
opposed to Bryan. There is more I'm
derwood than Clark sentiment in the
delegation, but if it had to choose be-
tween Clark and Bryan, or Clark and
Wilson, it would unhesitatingly take
Clark.

er of the State dispensary, who are
charged with conspiracy. to defraud
the State of South Carolina in con-
nection with the purchase of 21,671,-
900 labels during the last days of the
old State dispensary, will probably be
called next Wednesday in the Rich
land court of general sessions by j..
Fraser Lyon, attorney general. The
case was heard last September and re-
suited in a mistrial.
The labels were bought from the
Nevisson- Weiskopf company, of Gin
cinnati in May, 1905. Towill, Boykin
and Tatum with Dennis Weiskopf and
Morton A. Goodman were indicted in
1909, on the charge of conspiracy to
defraud the State in connection with
the transaction. The indictment
against Weiskopf and Goodman were
later mol pressed, and they testified
last September for the State of South
Carolina.
In the trial last September the de-
fense did not put up any witnesses.
The case lasted for three days. The
jury failed to reach an agreement af-
ter being out for day and two nights
The first trial of the case was mark
ed by prolonged arguments over the
admission of certain evidence offered
by the State. The actual taking of
the States testimony consumed a COM
paratively short time. The attorneys
for the State in the trial last Septen-
Der were: J. Erased Lyon, attorney
general; w. H. Cobb, solicitor fifth
circuit; w. F. Stevenson and B. L..
Abney.

gauntlet to his two opponents for the
Office Of public prosecutor when all
three met upon the stump for the first
time in the campaign at South Church

they stood as between Governor .Blease

courts at naught by his undue use of

UNLESS SENT TO ASYLUM,
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT"
Singing Arraignment of Theodore
Roosevelt by Henry Wat
terSOn.

Louisville, KY, May 23.-In sting
ing editorial in the Courier-Journal
today Colonel Henry Watterson as
serts life tenure of Office is Colonel
Roosevelt's aim and that the ultimate
result will be civil war. He says:
"The result in Ohio makes it GER
tain that the voters Of the United
States will have to reckon with Theo-
dore Roosevelt next November at the
polls.
"It will matter not whether he ap-
pears under the emblem of a regular
party nomination or as an insurrecto
appealing to all parties. Unless he
breaks down under the strain and is
taken to lunatic asylum he will be a
candidate for president.
There can be in his name and per-
son but one issue-life tenure in the
executive Office, and a civil fabric i'm
perial in everything except its NOM
enclature.
"The hideous spectacle of an ex-
president, bawling like drunken har-
lot from one end of the land to the
other, dragging republicanism through
an ocean Of filth, gives US foretaste
of the infamies before us.
There is nothing which this mad
man will not dare to attempt under
the excitement and the passion of the
state of war he has stirred up in his
own mind and in the minds of the
crazy mobs that follow and applaud.
That he was able to draw a man like
Taft into cesspool attests the cruel
injury and wrong a maniac, armed to
the teeth, may accomplish, for Taft is
not only president of the United
States, but he is a gentleman of I'D
right, self-respecting character. It is
clear now that he had been better re-
mained in the White House, leaving
the frenzied paranoiac the field to
himself.
cat length this nation is a world
power. The issue preciptitated BY
Theodore Roosevelt is whether, be-
come world power, this nation shall
proclaim to mankind its own failure
by the abandonment of its constitu-
tlon, the overthrow of its safeguards
and the naming of dictator. He who
says this is not the issue, little recks
what he IS saying; he who thinks it is
not were prudent to question his san
l'y, In its ultimate analysis and it's
last word the Roosevelt propaganda
IS the invocation of a madman TO
civil war;

dersIood that the people would like
% know how the candidates for solic-
itor stood in regard to Blease, and he
did not lack the manhood to tell them:
he was for Jones.
Causes an UprOar.
The meeting had been as tame as a
church service up to this time, but Mr
OTIS declaration precipitated an up
roar. While a good proportion of the
crowd clapped their hands in APPROX
al others yelled for Blease, and one
man shouted: That's enough. We
don't want to hear any more from you.
Come down."
The same man continued to inter-
rupt at intervals thereafter until Mr..
Otis took notice of him and withered
him by saying: 81 don't want the votes
of your kind" The man was quiet
during. the rest of the meeting.
Solicitor OTIS had confded to
friends before the meeting that he was
tired of the "pig-in-the-poke" cam
paign which has been conducted up to
this time and intended to force the
issue and get down to brass tacks
himself. The candidates have been
making nice speeches, telling the aud
fences about being born on the farm
and working hard as boys, and indnlg-
ing in glittering generalities, but Sc
dulously avoiding telling the voters
what the latter want to know-that
is, the altitude of the candidates to-
wards presnt conditions in the State.
There were about 200 persons at the
meeting, which was held in front of
Dominey's store. Many of them were
workers in the Crescent and Ark
wright mills.
