Death Calls Bob Taylor.

A special from Washington,
dated April |, has the folloWlng
Robert Love Taylor, United
States Senator from Tennessee,
"Fiddling Bob" to all the South,
died here yesterday, unable tc
withstand the shock Of an opera
ton for gall stones, performed
last Thursday.
"FiddIing Bob Taylor, 50
known because he played his way
into the hearts Of his audience,
carrying his violin wherever he
campalgned, was 81 years old.
He was born at Happy Valley, in
East Tennessee, but spent most
of his life at Nashville practicing
law. He belonged to an office
holding family. His father was
a congressman and commissioner
Of Indian affairs, and All uncle
was in Congress in the Confed-
crate Senate.
Once pension agent at Knox
vile, thrice governor Of Tennes-
see, from 1887 to 1891, and 1897
to 1899, Senator Taylor forged
his way to the National House Of
Representatives from the same
congressional district that previ-
ously had sent his father to Con-
gress, and later his brother,
Alfred A. Taylor, whom he sub
sequently defeated for governor.
Senator Taylor was a Cleve-
land Democrat. He had served
in the Senate since January 1907,
his principal activity being in
behalf of a comprehensive sys-
TEN of good roads and the lakes
to-the-gulf deep waterway pro-
ject. His last speech in the
Senate was made last July in adj
vocacy of a Confederate monu-
ment bill. His last appearance
in the Senate chamber was a
fortnight ago.
In the late eighties the entire
country was stirred to admiration
by stories of the rivalry between
two Taylor brothers for the gov
ernorship of Tennessee. One
led the Democratic party. That
was Robert Love. His brother,
Alfred A., led the Republican
party. The campaign went into
political history as "the war Of
the roses"
The brothers Taylor, bitterest
political rivals, peacefully cam
paigned the State together. One
night, on their way into middle
Tennessee they stopped in
Bridgeport, Ala.
In the morning the landlady
presented herself at the distin-
guished guests door.
Here" she said to Alfred, lis
a boquet of red roses. ~
And here" she exclaimed tc
Robert, lis a boquet Of white
roses. Now | want you boys tc
take these flowers for the sake
of your mother. | know she
must be proud to have sons who
can be politicians and still be
brothers." p

To the Voters of Third Ward.

There are several reasons which led
me to again stand as candidate for aid
erman. Much as l might prefer to es-
cape the responsibilities of the position
if I were to consult my own personal
comfort and peace of mind, am not a
gutter, and If the good people Of the
Third Ward will permit me to stay on
the job, will continue to give my best
efforts and constant personal attention
to see that the great undertakings we
have begun are successfully put thru.
I refer especially to the sewer question.
My connection with the preliminaries
gives me a better insight than q new
man could possibly have. want to
see our ward get square deal on this
sewer proposition, without fear or favor
to anyone
I earnestly believe in giving the new
telephone franchise. should the ordi-
nance be adopted, fair play and encour-
agement: MY stand on this issue is we'll
approval. ask for your endorsement at
the polls.
I am in favor of abolishing the poll
tax and have used my influence to have
the city charter so amended. I voted
against the levying of the same both
years that have been on the council.
I am in favor of changing the city
charter to give the council the option to
use day labor as well as by contract in
public works, when it is to the interest
of the city to do so.
Thanking you for your good will dur
Ing the past two years, and soliciting

Then came in an entirely different
voice, voice that Miss Van Schooner
hoven recognized at once as that of her
friend Ned Poindexter.

"Ned Poindexter, what have you
been up to-"
"After all my trouble getting up the

to say nothing of the limelight, for
you to go back on me in this way is
too awfully mean for anything"
Ned Poindexter heard a vicious click
and found himself cut off. He smiled
pleasing smile, hung up the receiver
and sauntered off to his club.
The excitement attending the use
of Miss Van Schoonerhoven's house
for suffragett meeting has worn
away, and it's effects are no longer ap-

. :TOTJOSVOLD'S CAMPAIGN CARD

elusive credit for these improvements.
My colleague on the council has done
his full share and the members generally
have been very fair In conceding these
improvements for Third Ward. Mr..
Tjosvold claims that he will be able to
exercise some control over the Northwest
tern Telephone Company, something
that the whole city government Of Will
mar has failed to do since the franchise
expired and was not renewed. My
opinion is that the only result Of Mr..
Tjosvold's control will be another raise
Of so cents per phone. One thing that
Mr.. Tjosvold Is silent on Is the city at
torney question. It is we'll known that
at some critical times in the past the
efforts Of the council to secure justice
from the Northwestern has been
checked by the city attorney, who also
was in the employ Of the Northwestern
Telephone Company. For my part I
believe that the important Office of city
attorney should be filled by direct vote
of the people instead Of being appointed
by the council, making such official d.
rectly responsible to the people for his
actions.

on borrowed capital or rather capital

relieved all the. company, except Mr.
Boone, of their cash in hand, and
they were obliged to drop out. The
hosts pride was touched. The idea

out company of southern gentlemen
was preposterous. He squared him
self before Mr.. Singleton and propos-

doubling the stakes. Mr.. Singleton
tried to withdraw, begging to be per-
United to return his winnings, but the
proposition was secuted. He was
forced to proceed.
The hands he held were remarkable.
especially when he dealt the cards.
Within an hour he had won all Mr..
Boone's cash in hand and the balance
in his check book.
''1'll put up one O. my niggers," he
said.
(which one? asked Singleton.
"Bill, I've intended to sell him any
way"
Bill was considered equivalent to
$1,000 in chips and in half an hour
was owned by Mr.. Singleton. Then
Bills wife. Chloe, and her pickaninny
were put up together, and in another
half hour they, too. had been lost to
their master.
Singleton's manner changed.
"Gentlemen," he said. you're buck
ing against the wrong man. I'm not
afraid to declare myself a converted
gambler. I've taught you your mis-
take. Good night"
He went to his room and the next
morning left the place for Memphis
with his winnings. Bill. Chloe and
their baby. At Memphis he took pas
sage on a boat for Cincinnati, where
he turned his slave family over to
the superintendent Of the underground
railroad, with the remark that it was
easier for him TO gamble for slaves
than to help them run away to north

Editor Tribune:
My esteemed opponent on his cards
distributed thru the city, asks for in
formation as to what has been accom-
plished for Third Ward in the council
during my incumbency. I do not want
to be understood to take the exclusive
credit for what has been done, but in
order to give Mr.. Tjosvold the infor-
nation he asks for, I will state that
Third Ward during the last two years
has p received more fully its share Of
the Improvements than at any previous
time. There has been more stone eros
sings laid and more street grading done
in Third Ward than in any other part
Of the city, which is not more than just,
for the reason that the interests outside
Of the ward that are always trying to
control the elections here had been very
stingy about giving Third Ward any,
thing as long as they were in control.
Third Ward has received it's full share
Of electric light and water main extern
sions. AS to the proposed sewer sys-
TEN, Third Ward will have it's full share.
Is it possible that Mr.. Tjosvold has not
been posted on these things? I don't
wish to oe understood to claim the ex-
