HOW FAR CAN HUGH
DORsEY'S WAVE CO?

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 1S.-Will the
tidal wave of the Leo NJ. Frank case,
which swept Hugh Dorsey into the gov
rnor's office, last long enough to sweep
him into the United States senate
against Hoke Smith four Nears hence?
viii the people continue, after four
years have elapsed, to regard the sue
cessful prosecution of a man accused
of murder as the paramount issue in
their governmental aaffirs, or will they
grow tired of constant repetition and
reiteration of. the details of the case,
and in forgetting the case also forget
the man whose political fortune was
made by the case?
The friends of Mr.. Dorsey are groom
ing him for the senatorial toga, and
they profess to believe that he can
make it." They seem to think that
their young candidates success in the
gubernatorial contest insures him con-
tinued success in any future contest
he may enter, no matter how great the
honors to which he aspires, and no
matter how great the ability and cam
paigning power of the opponent he
goes against.
Judging by the statements given out
by ]. Gordon Jones, of Cordele, and
others, the matter has ali been ar
ranged. The campaign advisers who
dictated the policy Of Mr. Dorsey's race
for governor have already decided that
Mr.. Dorsey shall go forth like a second
Little David" four years hence, and
bring to earth the Goliath" who is
now the senior senator from Georgia.
The principal plank in the Dorsey
senatorial platform, according to Mr..
Jones and other who claim to enjoy
the confidence of the governor-elect,
will be national prohibition
Of course, four years is long time,
counted by the political calendar, and a
great many things can happen in tina,
length of time to make or break polit-
ical fortunes.
In Georgia, for instance, some of the
things that can happen, and win hap

LARSEN SLIPPED UP
ON FILING EXPENSE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 49,
The forgetfulness of w. w. Larsen,
who was nominated for congress in
the Twelfth district of Georgia in the
recent primaries, has gotten himself
into an uncomfortable situation and
will call for explanations. MIR. Lar
sen and his campaign managers have
failed to file a statement of his cam
paign expenses as required by the cor
rupt practices act passed by congress.
L is the duty of the district attorney
for the southern district of Georgia,
under the circumstances to secure an
Indictment against Mr.. Larsen for
violating this federal statute, and the
penalty is a $1,000 fine or one years
Imprisonment, or both fine and impris-
onment, if the violation is held to have
been a "wilful" act.
The preliminary statements of the
Georgia candidates show the following
expenditures:
First District: Peter w. Meldrim,
$685.; ]. w. Overstreet, $2,O25.
Second District: Frank Park, 1910;
E. E. Cox, $2,661.

A. CONTEST OF CHARACTER,
NOT OF WEASEL WORDS

Woodrow Wilson excels in the ar
tistry Of politics beyond the capacity
of Charles Evans Hughes to compete.
Were the current campaign game Of
professional politics instead of con-
test Of character between two candi-
dates for the highest office in the gift
Of the people, Mr.. Wilson would walk
away with the prize next November.
All his life he has made a study Of
form-tirst Of literary form-and lat
terly Of political form. In the first
period he mastered a style peculiarly
his own, and peculiarly characteristic.
The study of words and their multi
plicity Of meaning always fascinates
him, so much that Princeton class.
mate recently said of him: "Tommy
has lived with words SO long he thinks
they are real things" Thence comes
his collection of what Theodore Roose-
velt's Maine Guide calls "weasel
words" That is-"he can take a
word and weasel 1t around and suck
the meaning out of 1t like a weasel
sucks an egg, until 1t don't mean any
thing at all, no matter what it
sounds like it MEANS" Thence came
also the series Of. catch phrases, so
fascinating in sound, SO false in sug-
gestion; SO easy to read, SO hard to I'M
derstand. So it is that he Is able to
be ON all sides of every public ques-
tiOn while covering his circuitous
course with flow of words that roll
as easily from his pen as brook
through the meadow. VT is his artful-
ness In the use Of words that enables
him to pose as ian amateur in poll
TICS" while playing the game with the
skill Of professional. Whatever his
ineptitude In other respects, he is cas-
lily first among presidents in the art
istry of politics, and he would win
next November, were that the test.
Compare the Witness Of Mr.. Wilson
with the straightforwardness of Mr..
Hughes. Compare the smooth style Of
the one with the rugged diction Of the
other. The one is as complex in the
use Of words as the other is simple.
- - q SuSC "a SClSuS
strength. Mr.. Hughes is depending
upon the strategy Of straightforward
ness and the strength Of sincerity !;
upon the force Of facts, instead Of up
on the fiction of phrase, to win his
case before the jury Of the nation.
His appeal is to the head and not the,
ear Of the people; to their intelli-
gence and not to their emotion; to
their heroic side and not to their hys-
terical side. It Is an appeal to the
courage Of the country and not to its
cowardice. Mr.. Hughes could not, If
he would, perform in q year the po-
litical tricks that Mr.. Wilson can do
In a day. The question today is
whether the people want In the White
House for the. next four years 4
phrase-maker or histOry-maker; q
man of many sayings, or a man who
backs his words with deeds. There
Is fundamental difference between
the two candidates, which marks the
line of cleavage in this extraordinary
campaign-"Hughes means what he

BURGLARS FAIL TO ROB SAFE.

Vienna, Aug. 31.-Burglars made eff
forts to plumber the safe in the ware
| house of d. B. Thompson some time
last night or early this morning. Had
they succeeded they would have made
good haul There were evidences
that the outlaws were frightened away.
The safe is in a brick vault, and the
robbers Ii adsucceeded in drilling a
large hole in the wall when they were
interrupted. This morning when Mr..
Thompson entered he discovered tools
of the burglars scattered about the
place and the hole in the wall. In the
safe was $500 which had not been
touched.
Mr.. Thompson is of the opinion that
the burglars were frightened away.
After he had retired last night, it oc-
cured to him that he had forgotten
to load his pistol. He got up and did
this 1t is probable the outlaws saw
him and decided to abandon their
work in a hurry.
