Lloyd George May Wage Bitter
Fight To Finish With Men Who
Brought About
Co-operative Pact Between
Conservatives And Liber
als May Be Broken.
MAY SPREAD THE WAR.
Lloyd George Is Said To Be
Indignant And Ready
To Bolt.
LONDON, Oct. 31.' (By The As
sociated Press.) The so culled co
operative pact bet wueu .Governmental
conservatives and the Lloyd George na
tional liberals, which yesterday npintur
ed to be gaining strength, today seem,
ed near a smash-up that may force
Lloyd George to really carry out his
threat to ' 'spread the war" and woge"1
a bitter light to the finish with the
men who brought about his downfall.
One trouble seems to be that con
servative candidates have bobbed up
against those running under the Lloyd
George banner in certain constituencies
where the latter had regarded them
selves as safe from tory attacks. Lloyd
George is represented as being indignant
and as contemplating the carrying out
of his threat if the conservative party
ones not wiumraw some or me candi
dates already entered ugainst his fol
lowers. Others feel sure that he will
really "spread the war" with vigor
should the die-hards put up any more
candidates agaist the national liberals.
At this time the Lloyd Georgians
have'nlxiut 161 candidates iu the field,
and they are reported to have 250
others in reserve. It is said to bo
Lloyd George's intention to let loose
the reserves against the conservatives
unless his deinada are met.
The eo-operative pacts a sort of
"you leave us alone in this district
and we won't bother you in that dis
trict'' understanding first attracted
i t timf i .in i Iti-nmrli ilu miiriir tt flit itii.
hards at the prospect of a return to
...v.... v.. ....,.. . .... ....j,... w. .....
coalition rule under the egis of a new
government ...
To combat this dissatisfaction the
central conservative association an-
ounced that in reality no pact liad been
reached but each constituency was at
liberty to adopt whatever candidates
it chooses. Since that
anouncenieut
national liberals nnd conservatives have
been opposing one another in districts
where they were lxlieved to have reach
ed a noninterference undrstanding.
The Times says that Lloyd George is
still trying to come to au understand
ing with unionist headquarters but that
paper thinks the Unionists will find it
impossible to mako the 'arrangement
Lloyd George desires even if they
wished to do so, because the consti
tuencies from which Lloyd George
wants conservative candidates with
drawn are precisely those which are
least likely to respond to an appeal
from unionist chieftains. The news-
naiHT thinks that a vide bre.-ik between
the two would affect jurty relation
ships on every front and would pn-
luee ehaos in fscontland wherein niank
large areas the Unioisfs and national
liberals are closely cooperatiner.
Still," The Times cintends, "the
Lloyd Georgia party, if it is to con-
jfiuue to live at all, has no alternative
but to spreud tne war."
A clash between the conservatives
and the Lloyd Georgians would likely
result in an alliance between the na
tional liberals and the Asmiithiau free

groups of liberals are fare from being i
in alliance now in some eonstituencies.

liberals here and there and the cry "Iti
isn't fair" is not infreruently heard.'

Back In Prison After
19 Years Of Freedom
MEMPHIS, TENN., Oct 31.
Jesse Sanderson, Camthersville, Mo.,

serving of a life sentence, after en
joying 19 years of freedom, follow
ig his escape from prison in 1903.

escaped prisoner, and Sanderson was
arrested at his home at Caruthers
ville yesterday.
Sanderson was convicted in 1901

IN
SIN OF COVETOUSNESS
Padrick, Young Minister,
Georgia, On Trial For
Double Murder.1
Of
INSANITY IS DEFENSE.
i ......
Will
Preach On "Thou Shall
Not Covet Thy Neigh
bor's Wife."
STATLSBOilO, lia.. l t. 31. When
the Icv. Klltott I'adrick, on trial for the
I alleged murder of his wife and her
mother, .Mrs. M. 1J. lixon, took tne
stand in his own behalf here today, hu
first act was to lead the courtroom ia
prayer, utter which he proceeded to de
liver a sermon on the text, "Thou ihalt
Not " which probably was the most
dramatic defense statement ever offered
iu a courtroom In this state.
During the presentation of his state
ment Tadrick became so excited it was
necessary for one of his attorneys to
call a halt and when instructed to "sit
down" the young minister walked delib
erately over to a water cooler, drank :.
glass of water and returned to his at
Itorney s table, where he sit ilown, closeit
his eyes and appeared to drop off in
sleep.
In his prayer I'adrick asked for Divine
guidance for the court, the future of the
ihurch and the people of Statesboro. He
then turned to the jury and delivered a
short sermon.
He declared the women of today.-were
causing the downfa'l of man, enticing
them by their daily dress, and playing to
them through hcx appeal. He said it
was difficult for a young minister to
enter the gosiiel because of the tempta
tions of modern women.
The dramatic part nf the minister's
i ileii use sermon was reacnei wnen ne
singled out his father-in-law. the father
of his dead bride, pointed his linger at
him and declared "Von are responsible
for me marrying your daughter." He
fold the jury that Mr. IMxun had insist
ed upon the wedding.
Padrick told of the alleged jealoiis'ue.ss
of his mol her-in-law, whom he admits he
killed.
"She won hi often lct her daughter
because Aril lie Mae was admired by other
men when she went to town," he said.
The prosecution biter iu the day pl.ic-
dared lie consntercit mm sane, uaving
heanl him )ireach. Tmii Jones, another
witness, said'-' he had heard him preach,
and considered him above the average in
intelligence. -

"It says nothing of the pour men who

"The majority says the average
wage for these men on southern rail

Declaring that he intended no bitter
partisan . allusions, the! Congressinau
j stated iu the outset that he did not
I menu to offend any .Republican but
was simply going to give an inside
view of the Republican party a
"took by itself." In support of this
statement he tptoted from .Secretary of
War Weeks the assertion that UongreM '
was' nt the lowest ebb it had rcatbed
in year and that it had almost be
come n. habit with the public to Uis
p H rage Congress . Hepreseutativu
Wood, n Iienibliciiu memlier of Con
gress from Indiana, was tpioted as Hay
ing that everywhere peopletwere giving
Congress hell, that it had done nothing
to restore business, had done nothing
for the farmer ami the price of farm
products, etc. -
In a brief nnd forceful manner,
Congressman Hulwinkle discussed the
tariff, the Newberry scandal and the
litmus fiasco, touching at the last for a
few minutes upon Congressional ' and
county issues.
He explained how the tariff bill had
relieved a great many wealthy men of
excess jirofits taxes, and had , placed
the burden upon the common people by
reason of the higher price they must
pay for all kinds of necessities. The
Standard Oil Compnny itself was re
lieved of .$540,000,000 in taxes by the
measure. It is true the tariff adds
$;!OO,OOO,OO0 in revenue to Oaremment
funds, but it. fakes i,250,OOO,()00 out
of the pockets of American jieople and
nit the money into the profiteers'
coffers.
. Taking up the Ford Newberry sena
torial sciindal in Michigan, the con
gressman went-into the history of-thi
affair nix thoroughly exposed it. He
read the resolution .which seated New
berry. Charging that the Uepubliean Con
gress had used the soldier an a. politi
cal football. Major Uiilwiiikle exposed
the real reason for tho veto of the
Holilier - htinilil.t.hv.-. Prt-MilMl.L .. llnrtVintr
It was in answer to the dictate of the
predatory. Wall Street interest. Hard
ing paid it was class legislation nnd a
lierversion of public funds. He forgot
that tho tariff bill was the worst sort
of class legislation, and that three bil
lion dollars had beeu given to war eon
tractors for cancelled war contracts.
In conclusion he declared that hot
many of his Republican friends in the
Ninth district knew the name of hi
opponent. The Major asked his audi
ence at Loray if any one knew the
name of hi opponent. No one ans
wered. He has failed to file notice of
hi candidacy with the Hat board of
elections had failed to file cipeiiso ac
counts, etc.
Come over to us and help make it
mammon, - concluded Major IJul-
i inkle, "and elect the whole ticket bis
luding Hob Khyrin find all the eouu-
y candidates. "
At tiie conclusion of Major Btil-
w-inkle'M address, John O. Carpenter
addressed the crowd for a few minute.
Musi.- for the occasion was furnished
by the Loray band.
