BACON PREDICTS
t. R. WILL F|ZZLE
Georgia Senator to Begin an
Active Campaign for Wilson
Last of This Month.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9-Senator A. O.
Bacon, of Georgia, who was reelected
to the United States senate a fortnight
ago for the fourth time. will begin his
active campaign work in behalf of Will
son and Marshall the last of September.
Senator Bacon has been through six
presidential fights. but he says he never
entered one with as much confidence as
the one of 1912 The senator is leaving
New York for an ocean voyage, and
told Senator OGorman, Of New York,
that he was going to take up the fight
for Wilson with all the enthusiasm OF .
first time voter.
TT is going to be a downright paesa-
ure," said Senator Bacon. THE con-
test this year is one of education. and
the people of this country are at last
awake to the real merits Of Democracy.
This third term movement is going
to fizzle out. 1t is nothing more or
less than bridge by which the mem
bers of the Republican party will join
the Democratic party. There can only
be two great parties, and the Demo-
cratic party can not die. 1t has stood
the buffetings and assaults of years.
The men who believe in Democracy
have never failed, and today they are
about to reap the rewards Of their long
and tireless efforts.
II am not sure but what Democracy
owes Roosevelt a vote of thanks. He
became dissatisfied with his own head
workers and has tried to destroy them.
In this he will fail but he will drive
enough people out of the Republican
ranks and into the ranks Of Democracy
to make the party of jefferson the bull
wark of the country"

week the old man has received a letter
telling of his condition. He knew the
letter was there Sunday morning, but
he could not get 1t, and went home
sadly to tell the boys mother that they
could receive no word until Monday
morning.

FLYER SETS NEW
j. s. SPEED MARK
VedrineS Makes 104 Miles an
Hour in Contest for the
Bennett Cup.

CHICAGO. Clearing Aviation Field,
Sept 9.-Flying at an average rate of
104 miles an hour and covering the
124.S miles of the Gordon Bennett cup
race in 20 minutes $685. seconds, Jules
Vedrines today set new air records for
America All American speed records
were shattered by the marvellous flight
of the Frenchman in his Deperdussin
monoplane.
Over the heads of a crowd that mum
bered thousands, the French bird-man
sent his stub winged strong bodied
racer The exhaust of its 124-horse-
power engines sounding in a continu-
Gus roar like a battery of overhead
Maxims, was lost in the cheering Of
the air fans as the machine swept
around the Clearing course. The driv-
ing of the race was daring in. the ex-
IRENE. t
Keeping close to the ground and fly
! ing perfectly straight away, except at
the turns. the F'renchman shaved the
course to the very last inch. A strong
wind sprang up that made it difficult to
| handle the craft. As the breeze fresh
ened Vedrines crept closer and closer %
earth.
Flew at 10o-Foot Altitude.
! Most of the race was run at an alti-
tude of not more than 100 feet and part
of the time it seemed as though the
daring aviator would strike the steel
pylons marking the turns, so close did
he keep to earth.
After finishing the race. when the
| Tag had indicated that the distance
was completed, Nedrines swung once
more round the course holding his tel
rife pace for 81 laps.
The time OF the entire distance-31
| laps--was 73 minutes 1857 seconds.
When the Frenchman had checked
the speed of his racer and brought it to
the ground in a graceful swoop the
crowd that had overrun the field in
spite of the precautions of the commit
tees in charge, made rush for the ma
chine Mechanicians and guards sur
rounded the man and his monoplane
and the air racer was pushed into its
hangar.
