Dl?l LAST NIGHT
il "
i One of Washington's highly esi
teemed and popular citizens passed
I away at the Washington Hospital
1 last night in the person of
l Mrs. Elisabeth Bonner Rollins,
c mother of Mr. Prank H. Rollins and
sister of Mr. Jonathan Havens.
The deceased was permitted to]
i view of the beauties of nature for
\ eWc-ftvo yeaae-and now that she]
, has entered the battlements of heavi
en alter a well spent life her going
is deplored by a large number of
- sorrowing friends and acquaintances.
> Mrs. Rollins was a daughter of the]
- late Mr. Frank Havens and Mrs Mary|
i Hayens. From girlhood up to the
time her death she wielded a pow'
erful Influence among her friends
; was ever ready to aid those In disI
trees. She was a woman of strong
and magnetic personality. Mrs. Rol
Una for years resided at Pactolus,
with her husband Mr. J. J. Rollins
; and her children. Since the death of
t her husband she has spent the major
I portion of time with her children.
For the past two years the deceasl
ed has been a great sufferer but
. through all her affliction she never
- murmured or complained, God's will
was her will and she realized what
I He decreed was best.
I Her life was a living epistle known
and read by all men?It was an open
book. Behold her record is on high
, and her witnesses are heaven. Truly
can it be said of her "She hath done
what she could."
Mrs. Rollins leaves to mourn their
j loss three children, Mr. Frank H.
' Rollins, Mr. Joe Rollins and Mrs. Eleanor
Waldren of New Brunswick, N.
F., and one brother, Mr. Jonathan
1 Havens.
The end came last night peacefully
1 and quietly and she entered that
turn uiviues two eterntties
with the consciousness of duty I
well performed.
The funeral will take place from
the First PreBbyterlan Church lo'
morrow morning; at eleven o'clock,
| Services will be conducted by Rev.
^H. B. Searight, and the Interment will

NEW YORK, Aug. The moat bi
significant thing about the National fc
Campaign iu its early stages Is the R
fact that hundreds of thousands of n<
Republicans, who never before voted si
the Democratic ticket, have volun- si
tarily written Governor Wilson and
Governor Marshall that they intend sp
this year to vote the Democratic t*
ticket. th
Some days ago. when in Indianap- \V
olia, Governor Marshall told me that m
since the. Convention he had been de- op
luged with letters of congratulation izi
and voluntary pledges of support, ad
and that more than twenty-five per IS
cent of his correspondents stated di
that they were Republicans, but
they thought the time had come for pu
a change in the National adminis- Ph
tration, and that they intended to
support the ticket nominated at Dal- 6U
tlmore. HI
The special newspaper articles
published, containing a few extracts
from letters written to Governor Wilson
at Sea Girt, show that the views
of the correspondents of the candidate
for President duplicate those Yo
of the candidate for Vice-President, pul
and that a very large proportion of fro
letters offering support are from Re- tloi
publicans. Cit

The correspondence that comes to ^ud

of the same tenor and it comes from *?r
all parts of the country showing that l,or
the Democratic candidates appeal ven

to the popular confidence: and that,
while the Democrats are united in ln
the support of the Democratic ticket,
as never before in the life of the
younger men of the party, and the
independent vote is almost solid for
Wilson and Marshall, there is a
break in the Republican vote, heretofore

In any stale west of the Missisppi,
with few exceptions.
This year the Republican party is
ilit and Republicans will divide bereen
Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt,
at is, those who intend to vote for r .
ilson and Marshall; and there are
any, who, while preferring not

will furnish a vote which.

date in the White House.
As one of manyevidences of tbeRe
iblican trend to Wilson and Marall,
the following editorial from ,
e New York Press, giving the reIt
of a poll among Republicans, is
u ruinating:
"Republicans For Wilson."
"Last week the editor of the New
irk Press sent private letters to Rebiican
voters, selecting at random
*m readers on its mail aubscripn
11stb and not living in New York
p or oth?r large cities. The main
t of the letter was:
'For which of the following do
l intend to vote; Taft, Witeon.

'Are you In favor of the plan
ipoeed by the former President

> Of the 1,000 replying 442 said
would vote for Mr. Taft this year
> for Mr. Roosevelt, 182 for Mr.
Ison and 91 said they would not

'Most of those declaring they
aid vote for Mr. Wilson gave as
ir reason their disgust with Reilican
factionalism. Some were
lng for bim as the sureet way, in
ir judgment, to defeat the Colonel
I prevent bim from breaking up

the not-voting class said they
;ht vote for Mr. Taft or Mr. Wilif
it became necessary, in their
gment, to do this to prevent the
one] from breaking up the party,
oe of those recording themselves
Mr. Taft lamented his nominal,
but would vote for biro to pret
