Il am not considering the proposition

today. 1.-THE law says that killing by

of a plea of n lesser degree than first
degree murder being offered on behal

Il should say not. That man is not
guilty of killing his wife and the prose

public almost at the same time that the
trial of MacFarland had been post

Farland's case.
The fact that Prosecutor Mott classi-
fled at least half of the men on a spe-
cial panel of forty-five, names as "un-
desirable" is still causing discussion
not only at the Court House, but all
over the city.
Most of the forty y-five men on the
panel got together in an impromptu
session at the Court House today, and
while all were chary about talking
afterward, 1t is understood Prosecutor
Mott was denounced in terms.

minutes after the committee had as
sembled. AS soon as the peerless
leader rose to his feet no doubt was
left In the minds of the committee but
that the three-time candidates whip
hung over them. There was a hurried
debate and marshaling of forces. and
then an executive session was declared.
Before the doors were closed, however,
a resolution to name the convention
city at 3 o'clock was passed
Just before the committee convened
at 1926 o'clock delegates believed that
most of the difficulties had been
smoothed out and that Colonel Guffey
would be awarded the Pennsylvania
seat and that r. f. l.. Mountcastle
would obtain the contested Tennessee
seat, in spite OF talk to refer these
matters to the committee

TAFr's POSITION.

Even those who do not wish to sup
port President Taft will appreciate
the manIiness of his stand on renomi-
nation. He does not mince words. He
does not want his being named to sue
coed himself to be a chance. He has
served his country and his party faith
fully and wants the endorsement of
the people on his record.
The announcement of the president
clears the atmosphere, and from this
time on the star of the Ohio man will
be in the a~scendency, and by the time
that the Chicago convention assemblies
all the delegates will have forgotten
than any La Toilette ever had an idea
of belnga candidate.
President Taft has accomplished
more for the country in three years
than any occupant or occupants of the
White House in twelve. He has made
mistakes, but the good he has done
far exceeds the cost of his errors. He
is not a politician but a constructive
statesman.
