Interesting Situation

The political situation now is one Of the most interesting in the history ,of the nation ana no one can'tell what is going to happen. I saw that convention in Nashville, where 2000 Confederate Vet crans and Sons of Confederate Veterans kissed a democratic governor and cheered a republican.
 Tn Wisconsin both Taft and Roosevelt ale demanding that the nominee for gov ernor come out for them. He Is in trou- ble either way he goes and may swing the state to the democrats. LaFollette will not vote for Roosevelt, and he cannot vote for Taft, after what lie has said about him. He does not want to vote for Wilson, because he wants to be reg ular. He may compromise and vote for Chain of Wisconsin. Just to support a home man"

 MT. Newlin talked interestingly last night Of political affairs, both in the south and in the northern states.

Hits Anti-Saloon League

You must bear in mind that the na- tional prohibition party has no sort of sympathy with the so called an.i-saloon league. We have certain well defined principles which we believe in md we are opposed to certain well defined principles which the democrats and republicans stand for and we are therefore fighting those two parties.
 ''l am frank to say though that in my travels over the country l cannot help sharing in the general feeling that Wilson and Marshall are going to be elected.
 ''In justice to Governor Marshall, I also want to say that I think the anti-saloon leagues attitude toward him is nothing short of outrageous. The idea that they should want to prevent him from speak ing in Maryland and Wisconsin Of course he broke up one Of their pet schemes in Indiana by approving the county local option bill. but ii was in the democratic platform. And besides is good democratic doctrine, so what else could he do? Gov. Marshall Is a clean man. He is total abstainer and such unjnstfiabe attacks as the anti-saloon league has made upon him are part and parcel with the things which have brought this league Int 1fsrap,tta

NEW INDUSTRIES.
And Industrial Development in the
South.

Chattanooga, April 27.-The conclu.
sion of this week finds a rapid re-
adjustment of losses, from flood and
wreck. The losses from the sinking
of the Titanic" are said to amount
to large figures in Hartford, Conn,
insurance companies. The losses by
flood in the Mississippi Valley are
placed at s1OO,000,O00, yet such is
the gen eral prosperity of the country
that the money centers do not show
a tremor. Slowness in collections is
reported in the cotton districts. as
might be expected whilst the price
of cotton has increased in view OF
the smalle rarea to be planted this
year. With the usual rains of the
season, a large area of the recently
submerged land will be long in dry
ing out This will make it too late
in some cases for cotton. General
business is growing in the south at
a greater rate than transportation
facilities. Car shortages will grow
in seriousness and crop movements
may be delayed
The list of new industries organ
lied during the week in Oklahoma
