JUDAS OF ALLEN CLAN
WILL BETRAY FOR MONEY


HILLSvILLE. Va. April S.-For two
days the outside world has received no
direct information concerning the move
ments OF the detective force on the
trail OF Sidna Allen and Wesley Ed
wards along the North Carolina border.

still beating the mountain brush In
the Fancy Gap nefghbOrhOod. confident
OF finally coming upon the outlaws.
Everybody here is much interested In
the report that kinsman Of the fugi-
tives has offered 10 betray them for
a reward Those directing the search
refuse TO admit that any success has
attended their efforts 10 buy the secret,
bur a well-defined story is in circula-
ton 10 the effect that a member OF
the Allen clan has agreed 10 tell the
hiding place of his relatives for $1,000.

There is also a large independent vote
of college-bred men, and to them Gov
ernor Wilson appeals as a candidate.
WILSON MAN TO WIN.
Without going further it must be
seen that to him we should naturally
turn as the Democrat who can gain
national victory. In many respects I ad-
mire President Taft, but I do intensely
desire to see a Democrat elected presi-
dent 1 believe it will be for the best
interests of our people and 1 am con-
WINGED that woodrow Wilson Is the man
to win. He can poll as many votes as
Harmon in New York and Ohio. He is
stronger than Harmon everywhere else.
He can poll as many votes as Clarke
west Of the Mississippi. He is much
stronger than Clark east of it.
Coming now to my first proposition.
1t is hardly necessary to insist that in
point of ability no one who is a can
didate or who is not candidate sur
passes Woodrow Wilson. A profound
scholar in the broadcast sense; ripe in
knowledge of the history and laws Of
his country and of international law,
he has had wonderful executive train
ing The man who leads one of the
great universities is called upon to use
all those qualities of administration re-
quired for a great political executive.
1t was for this reason that he stepped
from the college to the governors
office of New Jersey and made the un-
paralleled record as governor of that
state. Sound in his views and earnest
in his purposes. with a broad knowl-
edge of the needs of our country at
the present time, with a genius for
leadership-where could the country
turn for a president more calculated TO
give to our people an administration
which will safeguard all legitimate
business interests and. without noise,
check the illegitimate; who viii en-
courage the masses Of the people to
self-improvement and TO hope. while
at the same time he may be relied
upon to indulge in none of that noise
and unnecessary excitement to which
all good citizens should object.
I cordially shall support him and
hope that the Democrats of Georgia
will vote for him because I believe
that the endorsement of Georgia viii
make his nomination certain, that his
election will follow, and that the bers-
fits to which have referred viii come
to our people.
