TENNESSEE REGULARS DAZED
Say Seating of Montcastle Makes
State Sure for Taft.
fRy Telegraph to The tribune.


Nashville. Tenn, Jan. S.-The regulars
Of the Democratic party In Tennessee re-
ceived blow square between the eyes that
daaed them this afternoon, when the news
was flashed from Washington that the
Democratic National Committee had seated
r. f. L. Montcsstle as committeeman, with
only one dissenting vote.
Many of the leading Democrats here
freely express the belief that Il makes the
state sure for President Taft or any other
Republican who can poll the ordinary party
vote.
The action of the committee insures two
DELEGATIONS to the next Democratic Ma
tional Convention. The Montcastle faction
leans toward Woodrow Wilson and the
regulars line up behind Harmon, but in
view of continued ENHANCEMENT wiser
heads have been suggesting that conditions
could be simplified II Underwood or Clark
could be made to capture the delegations
from each faction. This Is a remote pos
sbility.
William Jennings Bryan is receiving a
large share OF the blame of the proceedings
to-day by mis- particular friends, who con-
tend that Bryan is not aware of the real
situation in Tennessee.

NURSING HUSBAND; DIES
Mrs. G.. B. B. Webster Broken
Down by Strain, Say Doctors.

Heart disease induced by exhaustion and
the exactlng care and attention she had
given her husband, George y. Bruce Web
ster. since he was stricken with paralysis,
two years ago, was the cause assigned by
physicians for the death yesterday of Mrs
I.ouvelle Webster. OF No. III Madison ave
nue..
Mr.. Webster, who was for many years a
large stock operator I'm Wall Street, with
branch Offices In all the principal cities of
England and interests in the West Indies,
was stricken with paralysis following
nervous breakdown which necessitated his
withdrawal from business. The suggestion
OF physicians that he be removed to sana-
torIum or private hospital w@ opposed by
Mrs Webster, who insisted that her hus-
band remain In his own home, where she
could be with him.
Several apartments were transformed into
a hospital suite nurses and attendants
were engaged and Mrs. Webster took COM
pIete charge OF the patients welfare. The
strain OF this. together with her other
work was too great, her physicians said.
Mrs. Webster was Miss EndrI, of Wash

IS still living. was one OF the famous bellies
OF the national capital iifty yeas ago, and

powerful frame, thickset. sinewy and
agile almost TO the day OF his death, at
eighty years The square head and thicl.

which the keenness OF eye stamped as COM

TO complete the building OF his big busi-

1t was done 1t was called the Crane Coin-

were in the business. but "old r. T.S' as
he was known to his employe-associates or

He was the president of complex cor
poration, yet knew how each machine

buke for some shortcoming. Yet he was as
quick to seize the grimy hand of an old em-
ploye in friendly greeting and talk with
him like a fellow workman. Most OF MS

the dictum OF Crane.

Must Withdraw Special Favors.

In the first place. i'm order TO free the
government we must withdraw special
favors. That is what lies at the basis OF
tariff reform, that is the reason that tariff
reform must be central 10 all others, the
beginning Of the means by which We shall
restore our democracy to its proper foun-
dations.
And by withdrawing special favors we
shall break up special alliances between
powerful business interests and the gov
ernment OF the states and of the coun-
try. We shall not cease to take thought
for business prosperity, but we shall cease
to look To those who ask for special favors
as spokesmen for that prosperity, and We
shall insist upon absolutely dlvorclng po-
litical action from the control OF the great
Honeyed interests when II comes TO nomi-
nations and elections and the choice OF
public policy.

ourselves TO check monopoly not upon any
too broad and comprehensive theoretical
plan-for | suppose that no one Of us COM

will cover all the crcumstances-but by
very practical means, indeed. The proc
esses OF monopoly are being disclosed, point
after point, method after method. detail
after detail. We can take hold OF these In
definite statutes. And In order to make
our statutes effective we can transform
our corporations from mere legal persons
into real persons. analyze them into the
men who actually conduct them, the men
who actually originate and take part In
the transactions which we forbid by law.
Stripping them OF disguise and hiding place
and subterfuge. we can deal with them as
law has always dealt with, individuals and

every man must stand naked In the forum
