SENATOR GORE MASTER ORATOR

Continued from first page.)
more than generation the laboring
man has appealed in vain to the re-
publican party to abolish the power of
Imprisonment for contempt of court
without trial by jury. The democrats
heard that plea"
The senator spoke briefly Of the & 4
mans act and the workir & III : "a IL
pensation act. 1.-THE democracy has
passed a dozen measures" said he,
"any one of which would have glorifed
a republican administration.
| He spoke of the Adamson eight
hour law, defending it in q way that
brought tremendous applause from
his audience. He said that in the cri-
sis, when that measure was enacted,
Hughes would have congress emulate
Nero, who fiddled while Rome was
burning. "He would have had con-
gress fiddle" said he, while the COM
merce of 100,000,O00 people was paral-
wed and a confagration of ruin and
death consumed the land.
"The eight hour law and these 9TH
err labor measures are fruits of the
democratic tree" More than fifty
years ago the republican party abol-
ished chattel slavery" said Senator
Gore, "But they did not abolish indus
trial slavery With unblushing cheek,
for half century, that party has seen
the infant in the cradle sentenced, like
a criminal to life of hard labor.
"The republican party believes in the
conservation of all resources that can
be expressed in the common denomina-
ton of dollars and cents. The demo-
cratic party believes in the conserva-
ton of the human factor. The child la
Dor law is one of the fruits of the
democratic tree.
Senator Gore took up in turn the va
rious indictment" which Judge
Hughes has brought against the VIII
son administration.
Judge Hughes implies that in our
foreign relations he would have gone
farther than Wilson did," said the SEN
ator. Zone step farther would have
gone over the precipice into the abyss
of war"
He talked of the deplorable condi-
tons in Mexico, and said no man can
read the future. "But whatever be-
tide" he declared, II hope it will new.
er become my duty to vote to invade
Mexico. We can go in when we please
but can we come out when we please
No man can foresee the outcome.
"The spectators who have invested
their money in Mexico would send your
sons to battle the cactus plains with
their blood.
i But leaving out of consideration
, Mexico itself, the day we invade the
country, all South America will breal
out in blaze against us. Shall we al
ienate the friendship of 70,OO0,00(
people there, to guarantee the bonds o.

Woodrow Wilson president.
Senator Gore then reminded his au-
ditors that a president alone is impo-
tent and must have senator's and con-
gressmen to hold up his hands. He
made an eloquent plea for the voters
of Tennessee to do their duty by send
ling democrats to the national legisla-
ture, and by electing Governor Rye
again.

ficiating.

While not entirely unexpected
the death of Mrs, Anna Leigh Short
which occurred at her home, No. 5IS
College street, soon after five o'clock
yesterday afternoon, brought a feel.
ing of sadness to the entire city, for
nearly everyone in Columbus knew
Mrs. Short, and loved her, not only
for her unusually high Christian
character, but for her many noble
deeds. Her long life of more than
four score years had been devoted
almost entirely to charitable and
eleemosynary work, and countless
Columbians had experienced her
kindly sympathy in times of distress
Mrs. Short had been i'll with Ia
grippe for more than a month, and
while she grew slightly better during
the early part of last week, the i'm.
provement was only temporary, hav-
ing proven to be one of those ephem-
eral rallies which all too often pre-.
cedes the visit of the death angel
When death came her two nieces
Mrs. I. j. Hagan, of Dallas, Texas
and Mrs. Edwin Finley, of Richmond
Va, and her two nephews, Messrs
W. F. and r. E. Leigh, both of whom
reside in this city, were at her bed.
side, and as the mild winter day
merged into the astral night her gen.
tie spirit winged its flight across the
silent river to find its last resting
place in Heaven.
Probably no woman in Columbus
had devoted so much of her time &c
altruistic work as Mrs. Short. She
had reared three sets of orphan chill
4ren, and her whole life carried out
the precept of the inspired poet, who
said:
Life for those who love you,
And for your Savior, too;
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the cause that needs assistance,
For the future in the distance,
And for the good that you can do.
The funeral will take place at the
First Methodist church this after
noon, being conducted by the pastor
Rev. w. L. Duren.
