TAFT TELLS WHY HE |S OPPOSED

Special to The Republican,

NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-Former Pres ldent William II. Taft answering an inquiry from Spokane, Wash, why ne Is on the stump for Hughes, tele graphs as follows.
 Mir. Wilson bases his claims to re- election on the prosperous condition Of the country and on the specious plea He kept Us out of war The country is prosperous in spots be- cause of ,he European war-for which Mir Wilson is not responsible which has gwen to our industries the protection of which his Under wood tariff bill deprived them anl which has stimulated in unheard nf measure the eNportation of American products entering into the prosecution of The war operations of Europe What our fate would have been un- ter the Underwood tariff is shown by The devastation that accompanied the len months of actual enforcement, the destruction of American industries tte piuful condition of the unem- pluyed and the establishment of bread lines ana free soup houses. The fic- ,itious prosperity due to increased eN- ports will collapse with the rapidity of cable dispatch at the close of the var. When that crisis confronts this country the republican party and q man of courage and conviction. Charles F. Hughes. must be on cuaru to meet and conquer il.
 Mir. Wilson did not keep us out nf war. We kent out of the European war bc,au we wanted none of its horrors ana because none of the bel ligcreuts insisted on dragging us in. and he brought Us into war with Mexico because his policy there from the beginning was one of officious iutermeddhng which is responsible Tor ;he distressing situation now eN- isting and which. if not superseded hv the saneness and deep sense of justice that distinguish Charles F.

 Mir Wilson deserves condemna- lion for his course Of vacilation at . iributable iu nearly every eXigency to a desire for votes rather than to a regard for the interests of all the people

The Warren Statement. lSpecial to The Renuhlican

NEW YORK. Oct. 3l.-George C. Warren. Jr.. Q well known resident of Jersey City. one of the republican can didates for presidential elector in New Jersey. declares that he is in position positively Go confirm the statement by Senator Lodge regarding the so-called postscript to the LCsitania note" Mir Warren says that he haf hls informa tion directly from a member of Mir Wilson's official family. whose name. for obvious reasons. he is not al lib- efty Co give. The story as Mir. Warren has it says that the postscript was not in the form of addition to the note for transmission Go the German gov ernment, but in the form of a supple mental instruction to Ambassador Gerard. who was to convey to the Ger man government the information that the note had been written for Ameri- can consumption. Mir Warren story is that the man who prevented this in struction being sent to Ambassador Gerard was Joseph Tumulty. secretary to the president According to Mir. Narren's information Mr Tumulty re- alized the political significance to his chief of sending such a message ano went to Lindley NJ. Garrison. then sec refary of war. and urged Mir Garrison Co exert his influence to prevent those instructions being sent Mir. Garrison replied that he had no influence with fhe president. and that # was not " nrth while for him to attempt to in- teffere. that Postmaster General Burieson was the man whom MT. Tu multy should endeayOr to interest. Mir Warren's informant says that Mir Tu- rnulty did go to Postmaster General BurlesOn and succeeded in arousing Mir. BurlesCn to the importance Of stopping the telegram. MT. Burleson having agreed that the message should be stopped. Mir. Tumulty took the re- spOnsibility of having the supplemental message held up to await further or ders. Mir. Tumulty and Mir. Burleson thereupon went to the president and laid the case before him. The presi- dent did not agree with their presen- tation of the matter. He argued that The American people did not want war were opposed to getting into war. and that the course laid down in his in- structiOns tO Ambassador Gerard was in accordance with the feeling of the country. This argument satisfied Post master General Burleson who with drew his objection. MT. Tumulty, how ever. continued tO object very strenu- ously upon the ground that to send such instructions would be q fatal poli- tical error Mir. Tumultv then sought Mir. Lansing. who. at that time was counselor of the state department Mir. Lansing saw MT. Tumulty's point at once and agreed with him. and Lam sing and Tumulty went back to the president and succeeded in convincing the president Of the imDortance of withdrawing the supplemental instruc- ton Co Ambassador Gerard. lt was when Mir Bryan was informed defin- itely that this instruction to MT. Ger ard had been withheld that he resigned as secretary of state.
 Mir. Warren declares that the source of his information is such that there can be absolutely no question as to it: reliability

What Was Written Anyway 2

NEW YORK. Oct: 3l.-'It Is time for frankness and honesty and not for technical denials and concealments," said William R. Wilcox, chairman of the reprb blican national committee to- day in discussing the maze of contra alctory statements evoked from diff ferent democrats in high official posi- ton by the speech of Senator Lodge regarding the so-called postscript" re- ported to have been added by the presi- dent to the Lusitania note SO as to draw it's teeth and let Germany under stand that it. was really intended for home consumption"
 ''ft must be evident to every one nov" continued MT. Wilcox, some thing of a seriously important nature was written or done or approved by the president in that connection. One of Senator Lodges informants de- scribes the additional writing as a postscript The president declares that no postscript was written. The presidents sticking for the exact use of words makes it necessary for me to ask what was written? If not a post script, what was it, part of the original draft. an amendment suggested after wards supplemental instruction tc A mbassador Gerard. There surely wa, soiuething.

has contended to the contrary. IL is not a question of what was sent to the German government but of what il was proposed to do to the note or to send to Gerard. The president denles charge that was never made.
 "Mr. Brecknridge, cited as authority by the informant of Senator Lodge cries seoundrel and sneak and bursts into a stump speech in support of MT: Wilson, but does not deny that he told the very story related to Senator Lodge.

received the sportsmen Of Williamson

termed a fish fry and banquet for the
Williamson end of the Maury-Wil-

The club rooms were brilliantly light
ed and the tables placed so that every
guest was in range of the speakers

speaking began.
number of distinguished citizens
lent their presence to the banquet,
among them being Gov. Tom c. Rye, :
State Game Warden w. D. Howser,
C. P. ]. Mooney, editor of the Mem

and others. These gentlemen were
seated at the honor guests table.
0. S. Shannon, secretary Of the
commercial club, was tosatmaster, and
he made a splendid official In fact,
he is the most versatile man in that
section and most suited for the place.
In a few and we'll chosen words he
stated the purpose of the meeting and
introduced the first speaker upon the
program, Prof. j. G. Brooks, who de-
livered the welcome address. The
professor is quite flowery and word

stating that the committee on arrange

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Apuril 90
Harry Stokes, leading counsel for the
taxpayers in the suit against the city
officials of Nashville, was shot and
instantly killed by Charles G. Trabue,
one of the leading lawyers of Tennes-
see and special counsel for the city
of Nashville.
Stokes was killed in his office over
the American National bank on Third
avenue this morning by Trabue. He
was shot three times by a pistol and
death was instantaneous.
In tense excitement and the widest
rumors followed the killing and it is
almost impossible to obtain authentic
information. An enormous crowd
gathered around the building where
the killing took place almost as soon
as the shots were fired. The news of
the killing spread like wild fire to
every portion of the city.
Bad blood has existed between
Stokes and Trabue for the past two
years and it is said that as the result
of a difference at that time it was
feared that Trabue would kill Stokes.
This feeling has been accentuated as
the result of the city probe, Stokes
and Trabue representing different
sides. Only a few days ago this diff

SHERIFF GRIFFIN
TO HAVE A CLEAR
FIELD IN CONTEST
PRACTICALLY CERTAIN THAT EFF.
FORT TO GET OUT CANDIDATE
WILL FAIL.
ONLY FIGHT FOR ASSESSOR
But That Will Be Lively One With
Candidates From Practically Every
Section Of the County-Adkison to
Go it Alone.

Efforts to get out an opposition can
didate to Sheriff Griffin have so far
been unavailing and the indications
at this time are that the popular peace
officer of the county will have no op-
ponent in August. For the past two
months number of conferences have
been held in Columbia in an effort to
induce another candidate to get into
the field and at times it has been
stated by the opposition that these
efforts would be successful. However,
as the date for the election approach
es it becomes more and more certain
that Sheriff Griffin will have to go 1t
alone.
The friends of the sheriff have never
been worried over the prospects of
opposition, but have always insisted
that Mr.. Griffin could beat any candi-
date that could be induced to run.
They have pointed with pride to his
splendid record and have been con-
fident that the people of the county,
upon that record, would not deny him
a reelection. At the same time they
are delighted that there will be no
contest whatever. That is in line with
recent precedent in the county, Sher-
If Goodwin having been unopposed for
second term. Sheriff Love Webb
and Sheriff James Forgey both had
opposition for the second term, but
both were elected.
It has ben a foregone conclusion for
months that Trustee Addison would be
reelected without the semblance of q
contest. No candidate has been men
toned for this office except the popu-
lar incumbent, who seems to have CIV
en- general satisfaction.
The only county contest at the Au-
gust election will be over the office
Of tax assessor. This will likely prove
a pretty live affair, as there are a
number of we'll known candidates and
practically every section of the coun-
ty is represented in the list.

where several other car loads would be
added and thence to Columbia, arriving
at this place at II o'clock.
The reception committee in company
with as many citizens from Columbia

tion in military honor, consisting of

bition drill.
At the conclusion of the addresses,
the visitors will be carried to the hotel
Bethel, where bountiful luncheon will
be in waiting. After the luncheon,
the business men from the capital city
and those of progressive Maury coun-
ty will discuss business relations be-
tween the two places, transportation
facilities, good roads, etc.
The Mt. Pleasant board of trade
have been very liberal in offering
i their services to help entertain the Wis
itors for which all Calumbians feel very
grateful and it is desired that as many
representatives from that little city as
can, be here for the big event.
