BATONYI WRITES BOOK AND PROMISES A BOMB

Says He Expected an Adverse Decision In Divorce Case. Newport, Oct>22—Aurel Batonyi today declared the decision against' him in the divorce case tried In New York was expected by him and that now he is preparing to make disclosures con-

cerning society in general, and the Work family in particular, that will startle the country. A book he wrote now is ready for the press. He calls it St. Urgis, which, read as one word, makes Sturgis. F. K. the banker for the Work family. The coach driver in a complaint filed In a suit for separation, accused Sturgis of coming between his wife and himself. Also he mentioned other men he charged were too friendly with Mrs. Frances Burke-Roche-Batonyi, the daughter of the multi-millionaire, Frank Work. This suit has not been tried yet Come to the Democrat office for sale bills.

The Hon. Charles B. Landis, who, once upon a time, remarked that there are “all sorts of jobs for all sorts of men,” has found his. He Is making speeches for the ship subsidy grab. President Taft in his Journeyings (at public expense) Is coming out strong for the old ship subsidy grab. Anyone who can defend the Payne-Aldrich-Cannon tariff law Is naturally expected to be for the subsidy grabWhy any Republican tariff reformer should hang on to the Republican party until he is kicked out by President Taft or anybody else, passes understanding. Most of them, It can be said to their credit, are going out without waiting to be kicked. There is no particular objection to Mr. Taft reading men out of the Republican party because they are not satisfied with the Payne-Aldrich-Cannon tartff law or for any reason. But Ills right to travel over the country at public expense to do it is not conceded. According to Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, a brother "insurgent,” Senator Beveridge, is no longer a “regular” Republican. So President Taft told some time ago. All this should make the old guard that stood true to the Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks feel like weeping. But they won’t. A week or two ago the Indianapolis Star, Republican state organ, editorially addressing the leaders of the Anti-Saloon League, called a halt on further county option elections. Since then the league has announced that It will not hold elections In the remaining debatable counties. From this it must appear, even to the casual observer, that the tie bound during the strenuous days of the 1908 campaign still bines. But the same paper takes pains to offer another suggestion to its old allies and that is that if the law cannot be enforced in the counties now "dry,” it will be evidence that “legislation has gone forward more rupldly than It can be enforced.” What Is behind All this?

MRS. AUREL BATONYI.
