"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, DRAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UMBRIED BY GAIN" ESTABLISHED 1882 WILSON'S PERU PROTEGE IS WORSE THAN HUERTA Recognized Bonavides as President After He Had Obtained Power In a Sister Republic by Treachery and Violence. ACT DOES NOT SQUARE WITH SMUG DICTUM IN HIS SPEECH Latin American Diplomats Amazed When They Read the President's Explanation of His Mexican Policy—Informed Their Governments That Mr Wilson's Personal Whims Doubtless Were to Be His Guides In Conducting This Government's Latin American Policy. Latin American diplomats are amazed at the statement in President Wilson's speech of acceptance: "So long as the power of recognition rests with me, the government of the United States will refuse to extend the hand of welcome to any one who obtains power in a sister republic by treachery and violence." This is the president's explanation of his refusal to recognize Huerta and of his Mexican policy. Yet the records show that President Wilson has deliberately violated this dictum in several instances since the case of Huerta arose. The most flagrant example was the president's recognition extended to Colonel Benavides, head of the revolutionary government in Peru, in February, 1914. His government was founded on assassination, established by assassination and had no vestige of constitutional authority back of it. It came into power on Feb. 4, 1914, when Colonel Benavides led the garrison troops against the national palace at Lima, imprisoned President Billinghurst and assassinated the minister of war and all others who opposed the coup d'etat. Minister McMillin reported these facts fully to Washington and assumed that this government would decline to sanction the newly established regime. The case was identical with the Huerta case in Mexico, except a much more flagrant violation of the spirit of popular government. Huerta had Madero and Vice President Suarez imprisoned, but he became president of Mexico under provisions of the constitution providing for the succession of the minister of foreign affairs upon the disability of the president. Huerta's accession to the presidency was confirmed by the Mexican congress. Benavides came into power simply by killing those who opposed him. His acts had no basis whatever in the constitution of the country and were not confirmed by the Peruvian congress. His sole backing was a junta of conspirators, which forced their will on the unapproving people by means of ready title bullets. Under these circumstances Minister McMillin naturally assumed that President Wilson would have nothing to do with Benavides and his junta. The president shortly before this had stated in a speech at Mobile, Ala.: "We must follow the course of high principle, not expediency, no matter what the pressure. To do otherwise would be untrue to ourselves." Mr. McMillin was therefore mildly surprised when he was instructed by President Wilson to call on the newly established Benavides and graciously confer the recognition of the United States Government upon him. In explaining this the President simply said that "expediency dictated the recognition of the revolutionary government of Peru." He told his advisers that he had not liked the personality of Billinghurst. He was chagrined also with the news that Billinghurst had in- More Flagrant Than Mexico.

MART e Pi ALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSEURG, tended to dissolve the Peruvian congress, which the President said would have been an unconstitutional act. Latin American diplomats at the time were astounded to learn of the President's action in Peru. They found that it was impossible to know where the president stood on any matter of principle and informed their governments that the President's personal whims doubtless were to be his guidance in conducting this government's Latin American policy. ```markdown ``` HUGHES ON REUNITED PARTY. "I come to you as the spokesman of a reunited party. We have said that it was reunited; we have believed it was reunited; we have devoutly hoped it was reunited. Now, Maine proves that it is reunited. I am glad to speak for the reunited Republican party because it is a great liberal party. It started as a liberal party; its best traditions are those of a liberal party. And today it faces the future with a truly national outlook and a progressive spirit."—Charles E. Hughes in a Speech Delivered at Plattsburgh, N. Y. When the Progressives come back they bring their punch with them. Villa says he bears us no grudge. Well, why should he? Haven't we always treated him as a perfect gentleman? What has become of the old fashioned man who used to say of President Wilson, "Ye-es, he does make mistakes, but I believe he's sincere." And we haven't yet got either Francisco Villa or that salute. Next stop for the political express Nov. 7. Irvin 8. Colb' is to make campaign speeches for the Democratic party in the west. Irv, you all recall, of course, is a humorist and is peculiarly equipped to do full justice to his subject. The least that may be said of President. Wilson is that he has been right half the time, for he has been on both sides of almost all important questions IF ELECTION WERE OVER? While Democrats Are Admittedly the Champion Question Fiends, it is Believed This Quiz is as Unanswerable as Their Most Childlike Effort. If election day were passed would President Wilson make so little of the principle of arbitration in industrial disputes? Would he be so sure that it is more important to preserve peace, when a great strike is threatened, than it is to make judicial methods rather than force the means of settling differences between capital and labor? If election day had come and gone would Mr. Wilson keep the national guardsmen of the country in camp on the ground that they may be needed to protect the United States against Mexico? Would there be months of inaction and indecision in which no use is made of a large body of citizen soldiers? Would they not be allowed to go home or else be set in motion to make Mexico as safe a neighbor as the Administration seems to think that it is already? If election day were past would the President drive through Congress a bill like the shipping bill which is intended to embark the federal government upon a new venture in a hazardous field and use $50,000,000 of the people's money to buy tonnage held above its normal value or else so owned that it cannot be used without peril of international complications? Is sound public policy behind such a measure or only campaign politics? If election day were not to be considered would Woodrow Wilson use so many high and mighty words in international notes and do so little to make them mean anything practical? Would his deeds lag so far behind his phrases?—Cleveland Leader. had in. --- FINNEGAN'S PHILOSOPHY. Ca The Merry-Go-Round. "Faith an' now Wilson's or protection.

ROOSEVELT'S ANSWER "Against Mr. Wilson's combi nation of grace in elocution with futility in action, against his reced of words unbacked by deeds or betrayed by deeds, we see Mr. Hughes' rugged and uncompromising straightforwardness of character and action in every office he has held. We pur the man who thinks and speaks directly and whose words have always been made good against the man whose adroit and facile elocution is used to conceal his plans or his want of plans. The next four years may well be years of tremendous national strain. Which of the two men do you, the American people, wish at the helm during these four years—the man who has been actually tried and found wanting or the man whose whole career in public office is a guarantee of his power and good faith? But one answer is possible, and it must be given by the American people through the election of Charles Evans Hughes as president of the United States."—Roosevelt in Maine Speech. THE WIND FROM MAINZ A wind that's from the rocks and sea and scented by the plum Sweeps through the eyemores today and where sequoias line The ranks of giant sentinels that guard the western slopes. The balsam of this briny breeze brings heavy hearts new hopes. The mountains and the rivers cry the message that is Maine's To men whose pride was shattered, and their desperation waes; Again their hearts are raised to look the future in the face For Maine has been the clarion that's heartening a race. 'Twas shame that sunk the souls of us to depths we never knew In days our flag was honored in the harbors where it flew. When nations paid us homage, for they knew our hands were white. Ere blood of our own countrymen had stained them like a blight. And now again our songs we sing of deeds that we must do To make the dream that passed away come marvelously true. For the sturdy souls that breathe the pine have brought to life again. The faith that fills a nation's heart that feels the wind from Maine. EDWARD S. VAN ZILE -New York Sun, Sept. 13. The Soldier Vote. A significant feature following the Maine election was the nature of the soldier vote. It is reported that one Maine battalion hiked sixty miles in two days for the purpose of exercising the franchise. And we know how they voted! Latin politeness is proverbial, but aren't these Mexican commissioners exceeding the limit when they persist in likening Woodrow Wilson to Venustiago Carranza? Josephus Daniels might have made a passable secretary of the Salvation Navy, but it was pretty rough to impose him on Uncle Sam's fighting navy. USE GLASSES IN DRY RAID BUT THEY WEREN'T THOSE YOU DRINK FROM Colorado Police Prohibition Squad, Peering Through Them From Afar, See Men Unlawfully Delivering Liquor—Two Japs Arrested At Another Place The "Dry" law is still working badly out in Colorado, according to the Denver Times, which relates: Field glasses were added to the equipment of the police prohibition squad yesterday and resulted in the arrest of Ed Tayman, 3127 Lawrence street, for violation of the dry law and the filing of the additional charge of perjury. Gus Mosconi, of Twenty-first and Market streets, was also arrested on the same charge. Detectives Cook, Klein and Schneider assert that both Tayman and Mosconi perjured themselves by signing false names to liquor shipping affidavits. They produce the affidavits as proof of this assertion. The officers say they had been certain for several days that Tayman was violating the law in a clever manner and suspected that he was receiving his liquor shipments under another name. Field Glasses Aid Them They secured rooms at the Clayton hotel yesterday and for several hours kept watch on the entrance to the Tayman place with field glasses. Every person who entered and every vehicle which stopped in front were closely scanned through the concealed glasses. When a delivery wagon drew up before the place and commenced unloading suspicious appearing cases the officers made their entry on the scene and arrested Tayman as he was signing the alfidavis. According to the shipping receipt, Tayman was receiving liquor under the name of Leon Smith, which he swore was his own. He was placed under arrest and several cases of liquor, which were being delivered, were confiscated. Tactics resembling those used in the Tayloon case were brought into play in the arrest of Mosconi. Mosconi was also arrested as he was signing another name to shipping affidavits, it is said. In his dealings, the officers charge, he used the name of R. F. Bloom. Detectives Cook, Klein and Schneider, in all, made five seizures of liquor and arrested the alleged dealers, while Officers Johnson and Armstrong made two arrests yesterday. Two Japanese, K. Tomora and K. Karats, were taken in custody at Twentieth and Larimer streets and several cases of liquor seized. Jugs filled with a golden colored liquid were found. JURY DRINKS EVIDENCE. 1 from the Morning Observation After the conviction today of Andy Vicovitch on a charge of "bootlegging," E. W.

Va. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1916 A blatant, howling farce. More next week. Hughes is the women's favorite — a choice of wisdom. It's hard to give credence to the report that German aircrafts are dropping poisoned sweetmeats for children. Why kill the children who had no part in the war? Under the Wilson rule this country is made to have no flag for the Negro—beg pardon, Bishop Walter's wife can wrap it around her, but the Bishop should say, "may! nay!! Pauline." If stock is so high on foot, why can the big packing houses of Chicago raise the wages of their employees and especially when they give their reason for so doing to over whelming prosperity? --- Ex-President Taft certainty did puncture Wison's great and prosperous administration. His whole speech was logic versus boastings on tariff. Adamson's eight hour day, civil service—in short all of his fallacies. Education of the head, heart and mind make a triumvirate that does much for the upbuilding of humanity, and more especially is this so when the combination is the possession of persons whose temperaments are of a high toned order. Having business in Washington this week and wishing to leave on No. 7, Prof. Geo. W. Cook, Secretary of Howard University, with ease, grace and skill sped us to the Union Station in his handsom Hudson Six. It is probable that John Mitchell, Jr., editor of the Richmond Planet, President of the Mechanics Savings Bank, may be prosecuted in the United States Court. His alleged crime consists in the publication of an article in his paper wherein he gave a graphic account of some immoral conduct on the part of a white man and white woman who were aboard a Chesapeake & Ohio excursion train. Mr. Mitchell is a man of great moral strength, never countenances violation of law by anybody, white or black, and as we understand violation of statutory law, we don't believe that the Federal Government will go far in its prosecution of the accused and especially are we of this belief after carefully reading the whole affair. Prohibition and robber food prices, run parallel in criminality. Relative to starvation prices, it is shockingly disgusting to read "a scientific dissertation on the cause of high prices for food products." The facts in the case are so simple, that they prove conclusively --- that the dissertation is only an intended muddle, or the act of a scuttle-fish, which blows out of its mouth enough dyestuff to so color the water in which to hide itself from its foes. Just as long as speculators are allowed to buy and corner the best and all they can get, and hold same till scarcity excites the masses, high prices will continue. Sixty years ago it was not, and could not have been so, because everybody produced his needs. Today they have lost the habit and gone into a complete submission to a new master class of blood-money men. What is true of the two questions I shall ask is equally true of all others concerning the high prices of food. Why did hard coal go up from $5 to $8 per ton and soft coal $2.50 to $5? Because and only because the coal owners concluded to make the public pay their loss caused by that fearful strike. Why did flour, a few weeks ago on Saturday preceding the announced strike that was to have come off on Monday, September 4, go up to $10 a barrel? Simply because the blood-money men had cornered up the wheat, in the hope of making the poorest of people, along with others, double their deal; and so it goes along all other lines. Prohibition never has and never will prohibit. It may work with children if enforced from infancy, but would not such a thing destroy the spirit of liberty and freedom of thought when thrown on their own resources? To prohibit men from doing what their great, great grandfathers did, and what they have been doing for a score or more years, allowed and endorsed by national and state laws for centuries, when it can be gotten, is extreme folly. They are going to have it at all hazards, tricks, costs and lying. It is making miserable citizens. Who is to blame for the foothold whiskey got on this nation? Congress and congress is still endorsing it. It has and is producing too much revenue to be destroyed, say some of our lawmakers. The only effective prohibition work that can be done must be done within the homes. There its deadly work on mankind can be told and proved, filling minds of children with not only a natural abhorrence for the intemperate use of whiskey, but all other forms of decradation. WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN PUT RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE PEACE. --- The supporters of Mr. Wilson say that the American people should vote for him because he has kept us out of war. It is worth while to remember that this is a claim that cannot be advanced either on behalf of Washington or of Lincoln. Neither Washington nor Lincoln kept us out of war. Americans, and the people of the world at large, now reverence the memories of these two men because, and only because, they put righteousness before peace. They abhorred war. They shunned unjust or wanton or reckless war. But they possessed that stern valor of patriotism which bade them put duty first, not safety first, which bade them accept war rather than an unrighteous and disastrous peace. There were peace-at-any-price men in the days of Washington. They were the Tories. There were peace-at-any-price men in the days of Lincoln. They were the Copperheads. The men who now with thud hearts and quavering voices praise Mr. Wilson for having kept us out of war are the spiritual heirs of the Tories of 1776 and the Copperheads of 1864. The men who followed Washington at Trenton and Yorktown and who suffered with him through the winter at Valley Forge and the men who wore the Blue under Grant and the Gray under Lee were men of valor, who sacrificed everything to serve the right as it was given them to see the right. They spurned with contemptuous indignation the counsels of the feeble and cowardly folk who in their day spoke for peace-at-any-price. — From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes. ```markdown ``` MR. WILSON YIELDED PARTLY TO FEAR, PARTLY TO HOPE OF POLITICAL PROFIT. President Wilson yielded to the dictation of the heads of the Brotherhoods, and made no effort to find out whether the demand was right or wrong. He made no effort to find out whether it could be complied with without raising freight rates. He made no effort to find out all the equities in the case; those affecting the men, those affecting the stockholders, those affecting the shippers. He took his orders from that one of the parties in interest which he most feared. He insisted that the law be passed without inquiry. And then he deferred the operation of the law until after election, which, of course, could only have been done for political reasons. * * * The question at issue was not that of an eight-hour day at all. The question was whether President and Congress should enact a law, without investigation and without knowledge, to give increased wages to a certain portion of the body of the wage earners. The labor leaders on this issue, without regard to the right or wrong of the matter, first coerced the President, and then with his aid coerced Congress. The question at issue was not one of the hours of labor. It was one of wages. And it was settled by the President and Congress without investigation and without knowledge. The settlement was due partly to fear, and partly to hope of political profit.—From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes. The Democrats complain because some Republican campaign orators pay so much attention to the President. What else has the Democratic party to talk about? WILSON FORMERLY ASSAILED ED THE LABOR UNION. The President is now a candidate for office and speaks well of labor. Until he became a candidate for office, and as long as he was President of a University, he, with entire safety, ignored or assailed the Labor Unions, indeed, he was then their bitter, ungenerous, and often unjust critic. At the People's Forum on February 25, 1905, he said: "Labor Unions drag the highest man to the level of the lowest." In an address at a dinner in the Waldorf-Astoria on March 18, 1907, in speaking of the capitalists, he said: "There is another equally formidable enemy to equality and betterment of opportunity, and that is the class formed by the labor organizations and leaders of this country." In a letter written January 12, 1909, he said: "I am a fierce partisan of the open shop." In June of the same year, speaking at Princeton, he said: "The usual standard of the employee in our day is to give as little as he may for his wages. Labor is standardized by the trades unions and this is the standard to which it is made to conform. I need not point out how economically disastrous such a regulation of labor is. The labor of America is rapidly becoming unprofitable under this regulation. Our economic supremacy may be lost because the country grows more and more full of unprofitable servants." I have no question that when Mr. Wilson thus spoke he expressed his sincere convictions. Less than two years later he was in public life and immediately his attitude changed. There is no reason to believe that his convictions changed.—From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes. "President Wilson settled himself in his chair."—News item. Well, he has settled something, anyhow. President Wilson refused to speak in Independence Hall on the one hundred and twenty-eighth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in that hall, and he so refused because inasmuch as ever one hundred of our men, women and children had just been murdered on the high seas he regarded it as "the very moment when he would not care to arouse the sentiment of patriotism." Mr. Wilson has a positive genius for striking when the iron is cold and fearing to strike when the iron is hot. If one hundred and twenty-eight would strike the ington and Johnson, and the other men who unite the Declaration of Independence had felt the same way about patriotism, and the same way about fighting as Mr. Wilson does, we would never have had a country. Had Lincoln felt the same way, there would be no such thing as the American Republic now in exist- ence.—From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Belfalf of Mr. Hughes. Editorial Comments If the Democratic leader who advocates putting dyes on the free list to encourage the industry were a surgeon his method of setting a broken limb would be to amputate the patient's leg at the neck. --- Optimism is what makes the Democratic party, which has fooled some of the people only three times in fifty years and has never yet fooled all of the people some of the time, think that it can now fool all of the people all of the time. President Wilson hasn't been able to figure out yet whether he is going to be on the stump or up one. If the paper shortage becomes much more serious the first thing we know the machinery of the State Department will be coming to an abrupt stop. Then, too, according to the Democratic campaign book, that among the more important enactments of the Wilson Administration may be mentioned Mirna Charta and the Ten Commandments. Secretary Redfield converses gibbly in terms of billions until it comes time to make a campaign contribution, when it is disclosed that all he really knows about mathematics is $109. Everything has gone up under Wilson except the price of dead Americans. Senator Jimham Lewis has purchased a new volume of "Unfamiliar Quotations" and expects to be able any day now to give us the classical derivation of "pitless publicity" and "strict accountability" in the original Babytonan. Add famous sayings of history: "I will surrender on this line if it takes all summer!" The Democratic revenue bill, as completed, is regarded as so perfect that the chances are that the taxpayers of New York, Massachusetts and Illinois will be able to build 3,000 more miles of good roads in Alabama next year. The image contains a single line of text that reads: "The image contains a single line of text." Mr. Hughes is talking to the women of the land in the homely language of the fireside and we expect to witness an impressive rallying of the sex on the first ironing day after the first wash day in November. MR. WILSON TOOK PLEASURE IN EXTENDING THE HAND OF WELCOME TO CARRANZA. One of these "uncivilized" acts was committed on September 29th, when some of Carranza's soldiers captured an American trooper, killed him and cut off his head and ears. Exactly twenty days later, on October 19th, Mr. Wilson expressed "pleasure" in informing Carranza that he recognized him! Since the recognition, Carranza's troops by his orders have treacherously attacked and murdered American soldiers on at least two occasions. If the acts above recited—which are merely samples of the course of conduct Carranza has already pursued—do not constitute "intrigue and assassination, treachery and violence" then the words have lost their meaning. Mr. Wilson took "pleasure" in "extending the hand of welcome" to Carranza, whose own hand is red with the blood of murdered men and women of his own nation, and whose hands, unlike the hands of Huernza, were also red with the blood of murdered Americans, of murdered American civilians, and of murdered American soldiers wearing the American uniform. But President Wilson cared as little for the deaths of those men as he cared for the honor of the uniform. He with "pleasure" "extended the hand of welcome" to the man guilty of their murder.—From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes. --- ```markdown ``` COLLEGE DEPT. APPEALS FOR THE DIRECTION OF MISS HOLMES. I appeal to my fellow citizens that they should not for, Hughes and I, to kill Wilson. Wilson because on my soaring can they save insurgent forces that taint of gross selfishness and cowardice which we owe to Mr. Wilson's substitution of militant elocation for straightforward action. The permanent issue of the American people is not in ease and comfort for the moment, no matter how elaborate it is. Wilson would teach us, but in resolution championship with ideals of national and international democratic duty, and in premeditated to make this championship effective by our strength. President dent Wilson endures in his person that most dangerous doctrine—which teaches our people that when fron of with really formidable responsibilities we can shirk trouble and Japan and risk and avoid duty by the simple process of drugging contests with the narcotic of training the phraseongering. Mr. Blum is to the exact contrary, embodies the ideal of service not cared through conscientious effort in the face of danger and difficulty. Mr. Wilson turns his words into deeds only if this can be achieved by adjective political maneuvering, by bartering a debaunched civil service for congressional votes on behalf of some measure which he had solemnly promised to oppose. Our own self-respect demands that we support the man of deeds done in the open against the man of furtive and shifting political maneuver; the man of service against the man who whenever opposed by a dangerous foe always takes refuge in empty elocation—From the Speech of Col. Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in behalf of Mr. Hughes. GREAT GROWTH OF HUGHES NATIONAL COLLEGE LEAGUE Thirty thousand college alumni have enrolled so far in the Hughes National College League, 511 Fifth avenue, New York. The oldest living graduate of Brown University, which graduated Governor Hughes, enrolled this week. He is the Rev. John Hunt of Springfield, Ohio, ninety-three years old, Brown, 1812. The league challenged the Woodrow Wilson College Men's League this week to join it in "having any reputable audit company in this city check up immediately from the original cards your actual enrollments of Princeton alumni and ours, your total enrollments and ours, and your enrollments from any college you may select and ours." The college men in the National Guard along the Mexican border are joining in droves, according to the officers of the league, and many have written in to signify their discontent with the Administration's handling of the Mexican situation. William R. Moody, son of Dwight Lyman Moody, the famous evangelist, wrote to the league offering his assistance in East Northfield, Mass., and said: "I am among those who feel very strongly that it would be a National disaster to have the present Administration continued another season, feeling deeply the humiliation to which our country has been subjected in the sight of the world, by the lack of any foreign policy, and by the vacillation of its dealings." The Administration ought to be able to take a comfortable rest. It has turned pretty much everything ever to commissions from the Mexican question to the tariff. The talent for shirking responsibilities comes handy sometimes. HUGHES ON REUNITED PARTY. "I come to you as the spokesman of a reunited party. We have said that it was reunited; we have believed it was reunited; we have degenuously hoped it was reunited. Now, Maine proves that it is reunited. I am glad to speak for the reunited Republican party because it is a great liberal party. It started as a liberal party; its best traditions are those of a liberal party. And today it faces the future with a truly national outlook and a progressive spirit."—Charles E. Hughes in a Speech Delivered at Plattsburgh, N. Y.

KANSAS PAPER CONFESSES Wf Kansas is “dry,” why does the AntiSaloon League expend so much effort in fighting the “wet” element. in thay state? Read this confession of the Atchison (Kan.) Globe: It is difficult to understand prohibi- tiontsts. When they organize a cam- paign they tackle Kansas, first. jump out of the box. The Flying Squadron devoted as much time to Atchison as to Kansas City, which has so many saloons and liquor-employed as Atchi- son bas people. When the itinerary of the national Prohibition party's spe- cial train was made up this week, par- ticular attention was paid to Kansas, and stops in twenty or more towns ar. ranged for. Why waste sweetness on the desert air? Desert, is good. Prob- ably the reason Is that the party wants @ million votes for president this year, and believes Kansas will be easy pick. Ing.

His leaving the AmMpSaioon League is regarded as an indication thet he has given up all hope of accomplishing his purpose. Here's the Story. The story of the alleged false peti tions is thus told by the Cincinnat: Enquirer: “Petitions nominating Rudolph A. Mack as a candidate for Governor were received yesterday by County Proseenting Attorney John V. Camp: bell from Secretary of State Milde: brant, to whom they had been sent by ihe Hamilion County Deputy State Supervisors of Hlections. No instrue- lions ner sugecstions accompanied then. Before they arrived at the Prosecutor's office, however, Secretary Hildebrant called Mr Campbell by Jong distance phone and told him they should be given attention “liow any one could expect to ret by with such stuff is beyond me, was the Prosecutor's first comment. after making cursory examination of the petitions, which had shown a small perceniaze only of te names on the 10 petitions to be genuine, “With the assisiauce of Assistant Prosecutor Walter ML Locke, Presecw- tor Campbell scrutinized the petitions. He found, he said, tiset scores of the names on the petitions were in. the same handwriting, wiile the addresses were fictitious on their face, The Proseewor said: “It simpiv is appalling: it's an in- sult to the intelligence of the mem- bers of the Board of Elections for any one even to pretend to think that ite vould got by them with such rot. Sam of these politions are so obscene as to indicate thet the one who wrote the names ant addresses intended to make a mockery of the election iackinery. “A miumber of the petitions show tion their face that a great many of the names and addresses were written bet me persons. ‘This is not sup- position: it is obvious, and an expert is not nocded to discover the fact.” “The strenuous language was called forth trom the Prosecutor by the fact that obscenity had been substituted for names of streets. An illustration, in an exceodingly mild form, was the adress, ‘S99 Dirty alley,” which ap: peared upon one petition, No street numbers in the city run to S900, and it is unnecessary to say there is no alley of that namie. was the Prosecu. tors comment. “One petition sworn to by Matt Glaser, Mack's campaign manager, contained the names of three Lockes, The fact that Mr. Wtlson could en dorse this Pork Congress shows that he isn't seasick, anyway.

The sume paper also has the follow: ing to say ‘inspection of all names on the pe- Htions nemineting RL AL Macias the candidate for Governor on the Law haforeciment party ticket was com ted by a special force of invest! tors at the Board of Kicctions yes- torday afternoon, ‘The total number Of Signatures on the 161 petitions was 4908, of which only 852 were found in the revsovation Hets of City Direc: tory, leaving (144 frregalar. In. sev eral cases the same names were found on two. petition “The most glaring frand was. the eight sienaiures of momhbers of the Eppinger family on the same petition, and all in the same handwriting. Men were registered from fictitious streets and alleys.” And again “Renches in Weshington Park were utilized ws residences hy one cireula- tor of the Mack nominating petitions, according to disclosures made at the Rorrd of Elections yesterday. The address of one signer was given as 126 West Thirteenth street, which would fix his abode in| Washington Park.” Ministers Criticize Mack. Added zest was riven to the case when severel ministers of the West Ohio M. EF, Conference declared that Mack had presumed on former friend: ship and published endorsements bearing their names. This endorse: ment, they said, is not the one to which they hed placed their signa ture The Anti-Saloon League, through its official newspapers, has disclaimed all responsibility for the action of its for- ter member, but Mack's letter of resignation to Superintendent J. A, White, of the League, at Columbus, is said to be evidence of a “working: agreement.” Mack concludes with this paragraph: “I hope to have the loyal support of the League, of which you are the head, in my efforis for a better government for the state." * MOB LYNCHES MAN IN “DRY.” DEVILISH, KANSAS “Dry” Kansas evidently is follow. ing in the lead of “dry” Georgia, which holds the world’s record for iynchings. When prohibition went into effect in both these states, the “Drys” promised that crime would cease. Whether this Utopian con- dition prevails is best answered by the ensuing articie from the Cin- cinnati Enquirer, concerning a “necktie party” in Olathe, Kan: Bert Dudley, charged with the murder of Henry Muller, an aged German. and his wife, was taken from the Johnson County jail here today by a masked mob and hang. ed from a telephone pole. The mob came to Olathe in mo- tor cars supposedly from near Stil- well, where Muller had lived, Sheriff Lon Carroll refused to give up Dudiey and the mob over. powered him. They then battered down three jail doors. Several shots were fired, but no one was injured, Villa is still uneaptured and unpun Ished, Carranza still slaps the United States.
