will not prevent the republican vot-
ers of South Dakota, at the primary

AND BRYAN
Probability of Old Contestants
Leading Their Parties

From a lead pipe sinch" of some
800 delegates claimed by President
Taft's supporters the list has daily
dwindIed until today they are simp-
ly whistling to keep up their cour-
age.
The Roosevelt wave continues
wherever voters have an oppor-
tunlty to express themselves, and
now even the experienced political
organizations naturally allied with
Taft. are beginning to waver in
their first support of the Presl-
dent. because assurances are given
to the Roosevelt headquarters in
Washington that a considerable
number of early delegates selected
and claimed for Taft are now ready
to vote for Roosevelt.
At this writing it looks as if Taft
is defeated. and that Roosevelt has
a very fair chance of the nomina-
ton. If not him it will very likely
be an entirely new man, as La Fol-
lette is not considered available for
a compromise candidate.
On the democratic side, many
careful observers believe that w. j..
Bryan is playing the smoothsst
game of his political career, and
that he is ready to not only accept,
but is helping to shape conditions.
There are enough candidates out to
keep any one from getting the
necessary two-thirds in their nation
al convention, the fight is warm be-
tween Clark and Wilson, scattering
votes to Underwood. Harmon. Mar
shall, Foss and Burke. Bryan is OPP
posing Harmon and Underwood, as
candidates of Wall street, and is
just All interested friend with all
the rest. Under these conditions
his presence and name in the Balti-
more convention may be the rally
ing cry to break a deadlock, and
bring the contending forces to
gether.
So at this time in the preliminary
contests il is a very reasonable pre-
diction to look for Roosevelt as the
republican and Bryan as the de-
mocratic nominees.

clear property well worth SIS, 600,

them to the treasury stock. There

ROCK SAND SYNDICATE
WILL MAKE A MILLION

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-That Cherrie
Halbbron and his associates in the Rock
Sand syndicate, many of whom are
American tuIfmen, have accomplished
a great stroke of business in purchas-
ing Rock Sand from Mr.. Belmont for
$4,000, is daily becoming apparent.
The last issue Of the English racing
calendar announces that the horses
book for mares is full for the next four
yeats, but that few subscriptions may
be transferred for 81 500 each Experts
place 45 mares as Il reasonable number
for a stallion TO be mated with each
season. ON this basis, Rock Sands stud
value for four years will be $112, 500
each year, or $450,000 in all If he re-
tains his present popularity and lives
for nine years Che is only twelve years
old now he will earn more than q mil
lion dollars.
When Rock Sand leaves this country
on board the steamship MinneWaska on
November , he will be under the care
of Charles +. Hill who for some years
was Clarence Mackay's trainer and
later had charge of Meddler and Mr..
Mackay's brood mares in Kentucky.

Georgia will have to play d lot
better ball next Saturday than
they did last against Alabama to

This may come as a surprise to
Atlanta friends Of the University

that Georgia men have been giving
odds that Captain Emp. Peacock's
eleven will mop up with the Co
horts of Coach Cope, of Sewanee
These odds are not justified by
the facts of the case The Georgia
team was terribly thumped by Van
depbilt and did not play to form
last Saturday. But there isn't any
certainty that it will strike it's
stride by next Saturday.
The Sewanee team, on the other
hand, has been improving steadily.
1t is now in its strickland it's a
grand stride, too.
Georgia may win the game Don't
take this as any torrid tip on Sc

likely to be, unless several Sewanee
men fall dead between now and the
