SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
BY JAMES 3. NEvIN.

Judge John W Maddox. who recent
ly was elected to the presidency of the
State Mutual Life Insurance Company.
of Rome, was in Atlanta today The
Judge expressly denied he has any idea
Of resigning from the bench-at least.
he has no idea of resigning any time
soon.
There is nothing whatever Of the
inconsistent in my holding both posi-
tons. If l can do so In justice to both.
and l am surprised that the report of
my resignation should have gained
such currency" said the Judge
There are a few aspirants to the
udgeship-entirely honorable and
worthy aspirants. of course-who have
thought l was going to quit, and who
have expressed a desire TO succeed me.
Through them the rumor of my resig"
nation doubtless was given a good
send-of.
Il am glad to say. however, that the
people generally in my circuit appear
to be very we'll pleased that l am not
going to turn loose.
Il had a distinct understanding with
the directors Of the State Mutual with
respect to this matter before I agreed
to accept the presidency of the compa-
ny. If ! find at any time that l am
neglectlng either my duties as Judge or
as president of tie company, I will
choose between them Of course. Until
that time comes ! shall hold both po-
sltions"
The Judges attitude in this matter
sets definitely at rest the interesting
rumors with respect to the succession
to the judgeship Of the Rome circuit.
According to some prophets,
there is a little cloud lowering on
the Republican horizon--no bigger
than a bunch of black judicial
whiskers.
Here and there. the thing that
broke loose in Georgia recently is
being referred to as the battle of
the Tom Toms"
United States Senator James K.
Vardaman Of Mississippi, is an At
lanta visitor today.
Senator Vardaman is very optimistic
with respect to the Democratic out
look nationally. and thinks that party
should win. whether the Republicans
name Roosevelt, Taft. or some dark
horse"
He incines to the opinion. like Gov
ernor Joseph NJ. Brown. that Roosevelt
would be an easy mark" for the Dem
ocrats. The senator does not think this
country ever will elect any man to the
presidency for third term.
Senator Vardaman thinks very high
ly of Champ Clark. and believes he
would make a fine president were he
elected. He believes the South in par
ticular would have in Clark a firm and
dependable friend in the white house.
The picturesque Mississippian is very
loyal TO the cause of Underwood, how
ever. and win lend his support TO no
other candidate, so long as Underwood
remains in the running In the event
of a deadlock Senator Vardaman thinks
Underwood's chance of eventual nom

H. MORNING,
Ambassador Makes T.
Demand that Citizen
Of US. Be Released

MEXICO CITY, Sept 22.-Ignoring the
usual channels of diplomatic intercourse.
the American ambassador, Henry Lane
Wilson, has made peremptory demand
on Governor Matias Guerra of the state
of Tamaulipas, for the immediate release
from Jail at Tampico of w. C. Nichols.
an American fruit grower. Nichols was
arrested six months ago on charge OF
having killed a bandit, Caballos, whose
apprehension the authorities had at
tempted for many months.
The embassy was authorized by the ad-
ministration at Washington to employ
whatever means were considered neces-
sary to bring about an amelioration of
Nichols condition. Ambassador Will
son declares he will secure his release If
it should become necessary to land ma
rines from the United States cruiser Des
Moines, which is now in port at Tam
pico. with $50 marines aboard.
The American ambassador regards the
treatment accorded Nichols by the Mex
lean authorities as persecution and has
so stated in his message to the governor.
In support of this belief he points to the
fact that a Mexican has confessed in
court to being the slayer of Caballos.
This confession was disregarded by the
court which declared it was prompted
by belief on the part of the witness that
a reward had been offered for Caballos,
dead or alive.
