TO EXTEND LINE TO ATLANTA
Great System OF Duke TrOlleys VIII
Also Go Into Virginia.

Charlotte, N. c., July 27.-That
the system Of interurban electric rail
way which the Duke interests are
now engaged in building throughout
the Piedmont section Of the Caro-
linas Is but the seed of a great sys-
tenn that will rival the trolley sys-
TENS Of the Middle West, extending
north into Virginia and south into
Georgia, with Atlanta at the south
ern terminus, is indicated by con-
tracts just let for the completion Of
stretches Of road in South Carolina
The plans Of the Piedmont and
Northern lines for extension north
from Charlotte to Greensboro, Dur
ham and Raleigh, in this State, have
been known for some time. With
these extensions 1t is considered that
the road will have gained such size
and Importance that Greenwood, S.
c., the prospective terminus accord
Ing to present plans, would not be
selected as the permanent terminus
1t Is predicted that the Duke in
terests will then push on into Geor-
gia, cooperating, possibly with the
Georgia hydro-electric interests
which are developing Tallulah Falls,
and make Atlanta its southern stop
ping point.
The extreme efficiency that as
sures the development Is the fact
that the same interests that are
pushing the railway are engaged in
giant hydro-electric enterprises all
along the route Of the railway.
One of the most important con-
siderations to the rapid extension Of
the lines Is the correlation Of inter
ests that the railway will institute
in the promotion Of manufacturing
enterprises through the inducement
OF cheap power and easy facilities
for Transportation.

WOMAN FIGHTS PARTIES.
Wants to BE Senator I'm Colorado or,
NOn-POlitical Basis.

Denver, Colo, July 27.-One of
the interesting developments of wo-
man suffrage in Colorado is the can
didacy of Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson
for the State Senate. She is fighting
both parties for the honor, declaring
tics in the Legislature and that she
does not wish to be hampered by
either, but to stand for progressive
ism In educational and economic
matters. A special appeal Is being
made to the women of Denver to
support her as representative Of
their ideals, regardless Of factional-
ism, and the leaders of the feminist
movement believe she will be elect
ed, especially as many men have
pledged themselves to aid her.
Mrs. Robinson has been one of the
leaders in educational work in the
State and also a close student Of po.
litical questions. She has done work
as a magazine writer, editor and lit
erary critic.
Her candidacy for the Senate was
suggested by the late Mrs. Sarah
Platt Decker. 1t did not appeal to
the old parties, which had given wo
men various offices from time to time
and even permitted them to hold
seats In the Lower House of the Leg
islature. The Senate had been barr
ed to them.
Mrs. James r. Belford, who has
been at the front Of the woman's
movement in Colorado, says of Mrs.
Robinson's candidacy:
"Hcr theories Of government are
wise and clear. She could cope with
any question that might come up in
the Senate. In fact, ] do not believe
that there Is any question that hAc
intellect. her clear conscience, her
fair Judgment, could not decide. We
do not have many women as intelli-
gent as Mrs. Robinson. She takes
the same stand as Woodrow Wilson
that Intelligent women should take
an interest in the problems of polit;-
cal, social, Industrial and economic
Importance"

rdo MANY. NAMES ON ROLLS.

ber Of Irregularities on Club Rolls.

Charleston, July 26.-At a meet
ing of the Charleston county Demo-
cratic executive committee last
night the report Of the sub-commit-
tee On the examination of club rolls
was submitted showing an enroll
ment far In excess Of the proper
number in proportion to the white
population Of Charleston. Accord
ing to Chairman Grimball, of the
subcommittee, there are $40 dupli-
cate names on the rolls, 154 aliens
who are barred from participating in
the primary by the new State law
and about $500 names in excess Of
the duplicates which it Is figured
should not have been enrolled. The
duplicates and Irregularities are
largely in the "a clubs Of the city,
showing a register of S,1S2 names.
Many Of the duplicates and irregu-
larities, 1t appears, are simply er-
rors, which are to be expected, In
view of the custom of some of the
candidates having solicitors canvass
ing for club membership and citi-
zens freely signing blanks as sub
mitted to them. to make sure Of the
names being entered
A large proportion are fraudu-
lently entered, in the opinion Of the
subcommittee, and affidavits have
been secured on information and be-
lief, affirming this position. The
committee recommends further ex-
animation Of the rolls for irregulari-
ties and the usual publication OF
names that these irregularities may
be disclosed publicly and corrected.
The report was signed by four of the
eight members Of the committee,
which caused some discussion, but
the report was, however, unanimous
ly adopted.

indianapolis, was made public. This
letter sets forth Mr.. Beveridge's at
titude in the present political crisis

fault with both old parties and urges
all progressives, irrespective Of par
ty, to rally to the Roosevelt third

vention arrangements had received
more than 1000 applications from

on February /, 1908, after he had

that Thaw's release would be dan
