Hon. T. G. Hudson will resign to run
for Congress. This leaves a vacancy
in the Office of Commissioner of Agri-
culture. 1t is an important office and
a good and competent man should be
the successor. We have the man in
the person of Col. r. T. Nesbitt. His
long and successful experience in prac-
tical farming has taught him the needs
and economy Of the farm His expert
ence as legislator and former Commits
sioner fits him to make all the neces-
sary reforms to advance and add to the
usefulness of this important depart
ment. He held this office for four con-
secutive terms and perfected from
chaos-a system of inspection of fertil-
izeIs and oils, adding thousands of dol
lars to the treasury and insuring the
people against fraud-as well as keeping
them well up with advanced ideas and
facts to their interest. His admins

public and his appointment will be ap-
preciated by his many friends and the

MISS BARRETT LEADS
In the Journals Big Diamond
Ring Contest.

Another period Of the Journals big
Subscription Contest came to close
last night. Two periods have ended
and the end Of the struggle is in sight,
less than two weeks, to be exact March
18th, when the big clock in the court
house strikes the noon hour The con-
test has not only aroused interest in
Cobb County but adjoining counties and
every mail brings subscriptions from a
distance.
The number of contestants have mar
rowed to about six, who are energetic,
and full of hope and real workers. They
have secured for the paper several hun
dred new subscribers and are piling up
the votes into the hundred thousands.
It's matter of physical impossibilty
to down interest in anything, when a
diamond ring and a handsome buggy
are at stake. That's human nature
and it can't be helped.

first place, Miss Matte Lou Barrett oc-

pieces Two and perhaps three contesting

State Republicans Divided.

Bedlam promises to reign supreme at both
the Republican and the Democratic State
conventions of Washington, which will con-
vene within few days more, the former at
Aberdeen and the latter at Walla Walla.
At the Republican convention the Taft men
claim majority of the delegates, which
will send a Taft delegation to Chicago, but
the Roosevelt men deny the allegation and
promise a rough house for the Taft pro-
gramme. Regardless of which faction con-
trolls the convention, contesting delegations
will GO to the Republican National Conven-
ton. Whatever the results of the state con-
vention may be it will leave the party IN
bad shape and if the Democrats were but
partially united they would have splendid
chance electing the most of their state and
county nominees.
The Seattle Republican., 1912-05-03

James D. Hoge Of Seattle is willing to take
chances of being seated in the Republican
National Convention as Taft delegate and
he therefore is in the hands Of his friends
when the Aberdeen convention convenes.

Politics Much Mixed.

Massachusetts has sent half and half

ventiin for Taft and Roosevelt, which COM

ready was. While both men made gains
Taft stopped Teddy's sweep which may re-
suit in the states, yet to select delegations
to swing into the Taft band wagon. In the
local fight the report went out Roosevelt
beat Taft to l in King county. 1t would
have been just as safe to have said, Roose-
welt beat Taft $500 to nothing as not Taft
man appeared at the polls. Such a report
was sent out, however, to influence other
communities to tumble into the band wagon.
Taft and Teddy Talk.
If a hundredth part that Theodore Roose-
velt has said about William Howard Taft,
and what Taft has said about Theodore
Roosevelt in the present presidential cam
paign be true, then neither one OF them is
fit to be president of the United States. With
Perkins backing Roosevelt and corporate in
fuence backing Taft, the ordinary citizen
has about the same chance Of getting
square deal, about which both Roosevelt
and Taft have had so much to say, as has
snow ball to fly through Hades. Never be-
fore in the history of the United States
have presidential candidates engaged in such
a war of vilifcation as that being 1ndulged
in between Col. Roosevelt and President Taft.
There is hardly any doubt but that Roose-
welt has made the nomination of Taft i'm
practical even though Taft may have enough
votes in the convention to skin by.

Big Boy Broke By.

Charles W. Wappenstein may be guilty
Of all he has been charged with, but it is the
concensus Of opinion that he is not one-half
so guilty as some who have gone Scott Free
and since the higher-ups broke by on ac-
count of their pull we believe Wappenstein
should be pardoned. The game played in
the Gill administration was dirty one, and
Mr.. Wappenstein was not the only one that
had a hand in it, yet really it is very doubt
full if he did more than serve as a lookout
for the real players and to send him to the
penitentiary and let the real criminals run
at large, and seek more victims to devour
would be gross miscarriage of justice. Gov.
Hay would make no mistake to suspend his
sentence until the people of Seattle expressed

GAND|L HOPES TO
Be BACK At FIRST
AGAINST DETROIT
Believes Short Rest Will Be
Sufficient for
Recovery.

"Chick" Gandil hopes to be in the
game Tuesday with the Tigers, and
spent today resting his injured knee.
He Is suffering displaced cartilages,
similar to the injury sustained by John
Henry last week. However, his case is
not as serious as that of Henry's, and
1t is believed that a few days rest will
bring the crack first baseman back to
the team in Al condition.
Gandil injured his knee about three
minutes before the game was started
yesterday. In trying to get a ball hit
to him his spikes caught in the hard
ground, and he twisted his knee. He
fell to the ground, and had to be as
sisted to the clubhouse, where Trainer
Mique Martin applied first aid. He
then came out to the bench and watched
the game.
Schaefer took his place at first base,
and will be kept there until Gandil Is in
condition to return to the game.
