The opposition, variously termed as the insurgents or progressives, is head ed by Congressman J. Fred Talbott. Governor Austin I . Crothers, who withdrew from his candidacy for re election to help Blair Lee. ana tar.Zir Governor Edwin Warfleld. ' Congressman Talbott Is the real leader In the fight against Gorman. Member of the national committee, boss of Baltimore county, and a life long organization man, Talbott was trusted lieutenant of the 'late Senator Gorman, and .fol'ow-'.d the lead of ths great state bora for a quarter of a century without questioni Today "he is found leading the support of Lee for the gubernatorial nomination and doing his utmost to defeat the son of his former chief. ' ; V ' The real secret 'of Talbott's turnabout-face In the political arena is to be found .in young Gormans' well known ambition to enter the United States senate. ' After the death of United States Senator Gorman Con gressman Talbott aspired to succeed to thf toga, but was defeated In his ambition by John Walter-Smith, who bad the support of the younger Gor man and who has since managed to retain a firm hold on the state organi sation. ; In the present fight Talbott again seeks' to wrest the party leader ship from Senator Smith by defeating the latter's choice for the head of the state ticket: -If Lee wins the nomina- lion tor governor, and Is .elected he wyi nave, in, tne patronage of his of fice, alf-powerful weapona with which to beat down the old organization, cre ate a new one, 'and retire Senator Smith to private life. , Lee's success, according to the general understand ing, would mean the election of Con gressman Talbott as the next United States senator from Maryland. 'y The -republicans appear to he. well satisfied with the situation. They con lend that whether Gorman or. Lee U defeated In the primary the democrat ic' party will be split wide open and that the .nominee will be knifed to such an . extent, ,that; the republican ticket should be able to win out han dily., ..-.'.'.' .-, v: .,, v,v . iThere are no conbasts ror the repub lican . nominations. The Btate ticket was agreed upon In conference ; and will be named in the state convention without opposition.' r Phillips - Lee Goldsborough of Dorchester Is the choice lor governor, W. H. Cunning ham of Carroll county for state con troller and Morris A. -Soper of Balti more for attorney general. ; The ticket is regarded as exceptionally strong, representing as it does both the younger republicans and the older el ement of the party. ' , Mr. Goldsborough, who Is to be the nominee for governor, Is a native of Somerset county, and a lawyer by pro fession. It 1896, when the republi cans were in control of the legisla- ture, he made a strong fight for Unit ed States senator, but was defeated by Geoixe I Wellington. In 1897 he was elected state controller. In 1902 President Roosevelt appointed him collector of internal revenue for the Baltimore district, and he was re-appointed by President Taft.

In the pres ence of a great gathering of prelates and priests of the south and of the Catholic laity of Atlanta and vicinity' the Rev. John E. Gunn, D. D., was today consecrated bishop of Natchez, Miss., as a successor of the late Bis hop Heslln. The ceremony was per formed' In' Sacred Heart church, and was attended by all of the pomp and detail prescribed by the Roman. Cath olic ritual. The consecrating prelate was Archbishop Blenk of New Or leans, who was assisted by the bish ops of Savannah, Mobile, Nashville and other cities of the south. The new bishop of Natches was born in Ireland forty-eight years ago and comes of a family that has been very prominent for generations in the fam ous Irish lace Industry. He received his early' education under, thai direc tion of the Marist Fathers in DundalH, Ireland, and later studied the higher branches of learning in England and Rome. In the latter city he was or dained to the priesthood in 1890. For two years following his ordination he was engaged In mission work in Engf lad. Then he came to America to become a teacher In the new Marist College In 'Atlanta and later, was as signed to the Sacred Heart Parish In this city. ' He continued his pastoiial duties and mission work In this vicin ity until his recent appointment 'to. t8 bishopric. , . . ' :. - ' ,. .' ; Portland Will InvesOgate.

" EXPERJMEXT ON CHARPITTING; Gtorge Gerllnger to Try 40-Aere Tract ' as an Objectj Lesson. - . ; -:v .4 '. mmmmm'1' , t i. -; If the plans of George tJerllnger, manager of the Dallas Lurabef ft Log ins; company, carry aright. Polk coun ty is to be given an object lesson In the practical details of charpittlns. ac cording to the latest Improved meth ods. He has ben watching the re sults as carried ou elsewhere, and he wishes to try It out on the company's logged-off lands above Falls City. He is going to obtain the best man- avail- able to superintend the experiment, and, with that end In view he has cal led on the state college of Washington located at Pullman, for the services of a man who has had sufficient experi ence and knowledge of charplttlng to take charge of the work of clearing a 40-acre tract. If the results attained ere satisfactory, the method will be continued in clearing up some 500 or 600 acres of the logged-off lands In the western portion of the county. It will cost considerable money to carry out th3 demonstration on the scale plan ned by Manager Gerllnger, but he has faith in the scheme and will give it a fair trial. ; In carrying on the experiments, he has a two fold object in viaw. Aside from the direct benefit to the company several hundred acres will be made tributary to the wealth of the county, and the farmers and owners of timber land will be given an opportunity to see and learn at first hand the pr4u- ting rid of stumps. In all those cases where there is doubt as to the feasi bility of the system, the failure Is at tributed to lack of knowledge as to the manner In which It Is necessary to do the work. ' .., Until recently tha huge task of tak ing out stumps from slashed or Jog ged off areas was one of the most ard uous jobs that confronted the home builder in a timbered country, and many a young man has settled down In th3 forest, lived a life of toll, grown old and has passed away emld black ened stumps that defied the onslaughts of his axe, saw and mattock. But it la now claimed that the charplttlng sys tem has come to man's aid and that the perfection of the system Is ren dering the work simple and cheap. War Claims Paid. St. Petersburg. Aug. 29.
