Prices of meats in. Atlanta one week

Atlanta prices are about the highest in

This will be emphatically denied for
a few days in the hope of finding
new man on whom stand -patters can
combine to beat Roosevelt. But there
is no such man.

luton. which had begun bending with
Illinois and Massachusetts, and has been
showing increased and increasing signs
of breaking ever since.
The men whom Taft thought were his
friends have turned out to be only a
beaming host of political breadliners,
with expantant hearts and hands out
stretched. They used him and now
they desert him
Where once they had trouble seeing
him and pushed and jockeyed and jos
tied for the privilege, he now has even

that they would be released if he cared
enough about their freedom to confess

will make it play prominent part in
