Taft Has II.

Those who have uncermoniously
lifted President Taft out Of the
presidential race and have ALREADY
accomplished the nomination and
election of Theodore Roosevelt, have
neglected to consider few very
important things.
The first of these is that Mr..
Roosevelt is not a candidate for
the presidency. If he were, the
fact might cause slight change in
the complexion of things politically
but he is not and he has said that
he would not be a candidate again,
Until he enters the race, this stu.
alton must be recognized.
Another important fact that has
been overlooked by the Roosevelt
agitators is that president Taft prac.
tically has denomination Glinched
The president will get the unfai.
tering support of at least 236 del
legates from the South and from the
territories at the Chicago conyen,
ton. Texas is not considered in
these figures because the Texas del.
legation is understood 70 he domi,
mated by Col. Cecil Lyon, who Is
said to have cast his fortunes with
the Roosevelt boom.
With these 236 delegates to begin
with and with the loyal support OF
the Taft men in such states as Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts,, New Hemp
shire, Rhode Island and several OF
the western states. it is not unrea-
sonable to believe that enough
strength could be mustered to roll
up the 537 votes that would be nee
essary to make a nomination.
Another important thing to be
considered is the great improbable
ity that Taft and Roosevelt will be
lined up against each. other before
the convention. Even the most con-
spIcuous figures in the Roosevelt
boom do not hope for more than
that MT. Roosevelt will be only a
passive candidate. Hence, If MIR.
Taft practically has the nomination.
what is the use of counting so con-
tidently on Roosevelt?
There is just one. great big OBJ
stacle to the Roosevelt movement as
1t stands and that is Mr.. Taft.

BRICK BAT
Thrown through Door Results
in imprisonment of Ne
gress and Child.

Mrs. Nettte Gordon, a negress, who
was tried Monday evening in Justice
G. H. Gordon's court on charge Of
defacing property not her own, is a
prisoner in the county Jail, together
with her two-year-old child, in de-
fault of giving bond Of 5000 for her
appearance at the next term Of the
criminal court as required by the JUS
tice.
The charge against Mrs. Gordon
was preferred by Matilda Frazier, OF
Ferry street, who alleged that Mrs.
Gordon threw q brick bat through the
front door of the Frazier dwelling
last Friday night. The brick throw
ing followed an alteration between
the two women in the house over the
possession of a razor. Mrs. Frazier
said Mrs. Gordon was elected from
the house whereupon the latter be-
gan bombarding the place with stones,
beer bottles and other missiles, one
OF which was the brick that went
through a panel Of the door.

Will Depict Some of the Beau

Every ELK" at the Elks' home
soon, under the direction Of Doug
lass B. Williams, will be staged in
three acts. The first act will be
that Of the cheerful, coy home Of
Mr., Every aSlk, around which are
laid the circumstances which lead
up to Mr., Every Elk's leaving his
happy little home and departing for
the Elks' club; despite the fact that
lit is a cold ahd rainy night. v
The second act, necessarily so, IS
that of the grill room Of the club,
where a social session is in full
swing. Gathered here are many OF
the antleredsiboys who are making
much mirth and happiness over the
flowing glasses of wine. To this
scene. Mr.. Every Elk is introduced
and is soon making mirth with his
brother Elks.
During this act a most complete
program OF vaudeville will be pre-
. L. :
scented by different ElRs attending
the social session. There win be
dancing Of all kinds, touching love
ballads as we'll as shouting coon
songs with much laughable repartee
among those gathered. A double
quartette is also in attendance on
this night.
The last act is the same as the first
one, the home Of Every Elk" 1t is
here that the aftermath, of the social
session comes to light and the moral
of the play presented and realized.
The special scenes for the production
of Every Elk" have been COM
pleted. Rehearsals are being held
every evening and the date of the
performances will soon be an,
nounced.

A Strong Indictment.

If the words OF Col. Henry Wat
terson are to be believed, and they
bear the weight of authority, Prof.
Woodrow Wilson is totally unfit for
such responsible executive position
as the presidency of the United
States. The colonel fears that, If
Wilson should become president, the
people would, all too late, discover
that he possesses personal peculiar
tiles that would prove disastrous
Then the colonel significantly adds
that the people want in the
White House man Of broad mind
as we'll as polished intellect and Of
kind and grateful heart as well as
daring.

bear out the intimation made by the
Louisville editor. But, without con-

1ftthe suggestion of one of the
bosses of the Democratic party In
this state be carried out by the
party. Democratic candidates for the
Legislature will go before the people
without pledging themselves for
anything, He says that 1.-THE sys-
tenn Of compelling candidates for the
legislature to pledge themselves be-
fore nomination or election is call
culated to weaken the party, if not
TO humiliate the candidates." That
utterance means literally that DEM
ocratic candidates for the legislature
should not stand on any platform,
nor for any principle or person and
that they should not in their cam
palgn speeches make any declara-
lions of their intentions in the leg
islature In case of their election.
In other words, all they need do is
to say: Gust send me down to
charleston; 4 will do the right
thing" But, they could not even say
that for the reason that there is a
pledge in that, The suggestion may
be regarded good but the Telegram
does not believe it will take, and it
certainly does not hold water.
