TAYLOR, AFTER "a YEARS,
SEEKS GOVERNORSHIP
Republican Nominee in Tennessee
Will Confer With State Leader
Regarding Campaign.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August IA
(SpeciaD.-Alf Taylor. the republican
nominee for governor. will meet with
republican leaders some time in the
coming week to consider plans for the
coming campaign. 1t is hardly likely
that the democratic leaders will do
much toward preparing for the COM
ing campaign until after the special
session of the legislature, which will
require Gov. Roberts attention. is out
Of the way.
Gov. Roberts in the primary cam
paign proved himself a wonderful
campaigner, speaking with great force
and undergoing the strain of a heavy
speaking schedule without any effect
on the vitality of his arguments. On
the other hand, ALT Taylor is a fine
speaker, not SO magnetic as his
brother Bob, but man of recognized
eloquence and good mixer. He is
getting along in years. being seventy
two, two years older than Bob Taylor
would have been. but in his campaign
for the nomination he made a trip all
over the state and seemed to stand ii
very well.
One of the interesting features of
the recent primary campaign was the
comeback of All Taylor, who now
faces his second race for governor
after lapse Of thirty-four years, his
memorable race for governor against
his brother Bob in 1sS6-the war OF
the roses, o-called-having been his
first.
The other interesting feature in the
recent state primaries was the COM
paratively small dent in Gov. Roberts
League element of organized labor in
Tennessee. The league cut figure
in this county. which Roberts lost by
less than three hundred votes, and
pro badly some figure in Memphis and
Chattanooga, but Knox county, to
which he sent troops, went for him by
a decided majority. With belated re.
turns still coming in. the vote as Off
cially canvassed may give him a
majority over his opponent, W. r
Crabtree OF Chattanooga, of something
like $4,000. W. E. BEARD.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, August
1.-THE whimsical caDrfces of
Francisco villa. which have
ranged from practical jokes to
violent Outburstx, had an odd
climax mt the little town OF Sa-
binas, COahuila. when Villa con-
cluded the terms Of surrender
to the De In Huerta provisional
government Of Mexico.
After closing the Sabfnas
brewery and all saloons, villa
dispatched four "audttOfa' to
audit the books Of all the larger
mercantile establishments Of
the town and report to him the
names of those men whose
books showed the most proflt
made during the past twelve
months. This being accomplish
ed, he requisitiOned ON these
stores for shoes, hats, breeches,
horseshOes. leather, pack mules
and horses.
Later villa told Gen. Marti-.
nex, with whom he, concluded
terms for surrender, that he did
not expect the provisional gov
efnment to pay for these goods.

clothing and provisions from
were able TO lose 1t ON account

Connolly GIVES UP FIGHT
FOR SENATE IN DELAWARE
Possibility Of Third Party Ticket
in State Standardization Sides
Make Plans for Campaign.

WILMINGTON, Del, August IA
SpeciaD.-Possibiliti of a third
party in the Delaware political field
were dissipated this week when it
was announced formally that William
NJ. Connolly had retired from the
fight for the nomination as state SEN
ator. The incumbent, Senator Thomas
3. Gormley, democrat. announced, in
communication to the democratic
state committee yesterday, his inten-
ton Of leaving the same field. This
leaves the field to Representative
John E. McNabb, who was mainly
responsible for the defeat of suffrage
in Delaware. and James w. Mckinley,
dark horse. Connolly had threat
ened that unless the city committee
favored his candidacy he would form
a third party. This the democrats
had refused to do. because following
the city election last year Connolly
out of the party on the charge Of
having worked for the republican
candidate, now Mayor Taylor.
/ Following the action of the execu-
tive committee Of the republican
party in Delaware yesterday in ap-
state convention, it was announced
that a new record had been made in
the scarcity of contests registered.
Only four contests for delegate hon.
ors will be staged in the city.
Carrying. out the suggestion for a
clean campaign which was approved
by the state chairmen Of both parties,
it is expected that some time next
week a bipartisan committee will be
named composed of the most inf1uen-
tial men of both parties. whose sole
duty will be to see that no bribery or
yote-buying is carried on in the state
during the campaign.

CHILDREN ARE FOR CED TO WORK
IN GENERAL FIGHT ON HC. OIL.
Reports From Many Sections of y. S. Show
Increased Numb er of Youthful Toilers.
Adult Labor Scarce.

CHICAGO. August Flour thou
sand more children are working in
Chicago today than a year ago, ac-
cording to Clyde A. Brown, acting di-
rector of the city vocational guidance
bureau. The increase in child labor
is said to be general in the middle
west. but exceptions are noted in Mis-
souri,, Kansas and North Dakota.
Necessity of the child helping the
family meet the high cost of living,
the pulling power of higher wages
and scarcity of adult labor, together
with the discovery by employers that
women and children often could take
the places Of men, were cited by Mr..
Brown among reasons for a similar in
crease. in child labor in other parts
of the United States.
Minnesota officials report that child
labor is nearly doubled in that state.
The greatest increase. they say. is
among children of the white collar"
class. whose parents have been forced
by rising prices to permit their chill
dren to work. About 5000 under six
teen years of age are now at work in
Minnesota.
Wisconsin statistics on child labor
for the year are not yet tabulated, but
officials say enough returns are in to
indicate a considerable increase over
previous years. Some boys under six
