THE RICHMOND PLANET REPUBLICANS TRIUMPHANT! They Have Majority in Congress. New York Goes Republican. HEARST CARRIES MANY CITIES, BUT HUGHES ELECTED GOVERNOR-VIRGINIA IS DEMOCRATIC, BUT SLEMP WINS IN NINTH DISTRICT. VOL. XXIII NO 49 REP TI They Ha New HEARST CARRIE New York went Republican and yet three Democrats may have been elected on the state ticket. Hughes (Republican) plurality is 60,432. Virginia went Democratic last Tuesday by a greatly reduced majority. Col. Campbell Slepem, Republican candidate for Congress in the Ninth District was re-elected by over 2187 majority over Bruce. The Republican candidate in the Fifth District reduced greatly the vote of his Democratic competitor. In the Third Congressional District the canvass of W. A. Hanson, Esq. who was the Republican non-niece running on a "illly white" platform. He openly notified the colored Republicans that they were to take a back seat. As a result Major J. B. Johnson (colored) ran as an independent Republican candidate. In the Third Precinct, Henry Ward, Johnson got 39 votes as against 26 for Lamb and 3 for Hanson. In the Speech Lee precinct, Johnson polled 18 votes to Hanson's 10 and in the Fourth Precinct, Monroe Ward Johnson polled 28 votes to Hanson's 1. He carried Monroe by a vote of 38 to 25 and Henry by a vote of 40 to 25. In the city Hanson polled 211 votes and Johnson 112 votes, while Congressman Lamb polled a total of 2304 votes. The Republicans vote was proportionally small throughout the District. CHARLES E. HUGHES. New York, Nov. 7.—According to the latest returns, Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate for governor, has been elected by 50,000 or more plurality. Outside of Greater New York, with 160 election districts missing, Mr. Hughes had a plurality of about 124,000. In Greater New York, with 69 election districts missing, William Randolph Hearst, the Democratic and Independence League candidate, had a plurality of 75,036. Mr. Hearst carried all the boroughs of the greater city, despite the fact that the early returns seemed to indicate that he had lost Brooklyn. No definite figures are yet available as to the results with regard to the subordinate state officers, and both Democrats and Republicans are claiming victories from leutenant governor down. The indications are that the state legislature will show but little change in its political make-up. The Tammany judiciary ticket in New York county, with the exception of Otto Rosalsky, for general sessions judge, R. has been elected. Hearst Makes a Statement.

Walker, the Brownsville Negro who was put on trial in the superior court Tuesday morning, charged with the murder of County Policeman J. L. Heard, was found guilty yesterday afternoon by the jury, with a recommendation to mercy. Judge Roan immediately sentenced the Negro to life imprisonment, and a motion for a new trial was immediately filed by his attorneys. J. D. Kilpatrick, leading counsel for the convicted man, asserted that the case would be eventually taken to the supreme court of the United States, should the state supreme court sustain the verdict of the trial court. The evidence in the case was concluded yesterday morning, immediately after which J. D. Kilpatrick, attorney for the Negro, moved the court to exclude all evidence that the officers acted in their official capacity. The act creating the office of inspector of roads and bridges was specifically attacked as unconstitutional on the ground that it was a special and not a general law, and that the act contained matter as to the appointment and salary of inspectors of roads and bridges not mentioned in the caption. Judge Roan held that the act was a general law, and that it was constitutional. The Negro stated that he was a porter at the New Kimball hotel and lived at Brownsville. He admitted coming out of his house when the firing, in which Heard met death, occurred, but declared that he immediately recognized the officers and ran back in his house without using a weapon, fearing that he would be killed. PEACE REIGNS AT SHILOH Chief Justice Clabaugh Pours Oil Upon Troubled Waters. [Washington Post, Nov. 3rd, 1906] Chief Justice Clabaugh, of the District Supreme Court, yesterday poured oil on the troubled waters upon which the two factions of Shiloh Baptist Church, colored, have been tossed for weary days. Rev. J. Anderson Taylor for a time, at least, will not resume his pastoral duties. The two cases, one filed by the faction of the church which upholls the pastor and the other by his opponents, were consolidated for the hearing yesterday. At the conclusion of the discussion by counsel, the chief justice suggested the controversy be held in abeyance, pending an election to be held on the fourth Friday of this month. In the meantime the pastor, about whose head the rage, will not be permitted to officiate. Under the stipulation entered into between Ralston & Siddons, representing the pastor's side and Archer & Smith, representing the wing of the congregation which stipulation was approved by the court, the board of deacons and board of trustees elected by Taylor's friends at the meeting a week ago will be treated as the legal officers of the church, and they will designate the preacher who will officiate until the election. It is expected that the litigation will be disposed of by the election. Chief Justice Clabaugh at first suggested that the old boards of deacons and trustees remain in control and that the pastor act until the election, thus giving each side a measure of control. This arrangement was satisfactory to the Taylor faction, but the other wing protested against it. Both sides seemed to agree that the terms of the stipulation as finally agreed by the Archer, speaking for the anti-Taylor element, said his clients had accomplished their main purpose—to keep Taylor out of the pulit. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1906. Lash Negro Who Insulted White Woman, and Will Continue To Do So. Rockmart, Ga., Oct. 31—While Mrs. James Long, of Rockmart was driving along the public road Monday, she was accosted by a Negro named Hezeekiah Green, who insultingly ordered her to stop. Mrs. Long whipped up her horse and escaped. Yesterday, a number of good citizens, both white nad black, called upon Green for a reckoning. A jury was empaneled, composed of two whites and three blacks who, after a fair trial, decided that twenty-five lashes must be the punishment. The hickory was laid on by Charley Newman, a good colored citizen. Ike Young, Uriah Tolbut and old "Uncle Graves" and Charley Newman are the Negroes who propose to protect the white women of their community. They have assured the Rockmart people that they will be glad to look after the matter if white ladies are insulted in their community. Their conduct is generally commended by the white people of Rock mart. White Mob Leader Arrested [Atlanta Constitution, Nov. 1, '06.] A telegram was received last evening by Sherif Nelms from the police authorities of St. Louis to the effect that Lyden E. Fain ha1 been arrested in that city. A man will be sent there to bring the prisoner to Atlanta. He was indicted recently by the Fulton county grand jury for being implicated in the riot. On Sunday, September 231, the night after the riot, it is charged that Fain pushed a Negro man off the sidewalk on North Pryor street near the Marion hotel, and shot him in the hip. The day after he was indicted by the grand jury he left the city. Fifth Baptist Church Marching On Last Sunday is a great day at the Fifth Baptist Church. Dr. Graham preached morning and evening to large congregations. During the morning service while the pastor was preaching one lady accepted Christ, and the whole church was turned into a house of joy. The rally at this church begins tomorrow and it will close the third Sunday. The pastor is asking for five hundred dollars. The O. B. C. Club, one of the finest set of young men in the city will have their anniversary Sermon preached at 3:30 tomorrow by Dr. W. F. Graham. Choir will render choice music. This church respectfully solicits the liberality of the public at large in helping them in this rally. Atlanta Judge Decides Evidence Against Nineteen Negroes is Insufficient. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 2.—Nineteen Negroes, indicted in connection with the murder of Policeman Heard Juring the September riots, were ordered released by Judge Roan in the Superior Court to-day. The evidence against these defendants was considered insufficient to warrant holding them for trial. Twenty-three of the indicted Negroes' arrest will be held for trial for murder, and against these the evidence is practically the same as against Alexander Walker, who was given a life sentence on Wednesday. JURORS TO ACT AS WITNESSES. Unique Move in Case of Brownsville Negroes. [Atlanta Constitution, Oct. 29, 1861] There will be presented on next Tuesday in the superior court, before Judge L. S. Roan, the rather novel spectacle of jurors being converted into witnesses. Those who sat in judgment as grand jurors will be called to testify as witnesses before a traverse jury. This was the conclusion reached Saturday morning in a conference held by the leading lawyers who will defend the fifty-nine Brownsville Negroes indicted for the murder of County Officer J. L. Heard, J. D. Kilpatrick, W. C. Munday and W. D. Ellis, Jr., leading counsel for the Negroes, all of whom have pooled their interests, determined on this course. "The proceedings of the grand jury," said Mr. Kilpatrick to a representative of The Constitution, "are secret, and may not be divulged except under oath in court. While the proceedings are secret, it has leaked out that the indictment against the Negroes was obtained Friday morning upon the sole evidence of Lieutenant Heard, of the county police, to whom, it is said, the oath required to be administered before the grand jury was not administered and his evidence was simply a statement that names of the fifty-nine Negroes mentioned in the indictment were correct. "The only way of ascertaining whether or not this is what occurred in the grand jury room is by calling the grand jurors, and for that reason we have had every member of the grand jury subpoenaed as witnesses." The defense will also contend that the officers were not legally qualified to make arrests and a fight will be made on that point. Chief Turner and Lieutenant Poole, when asked about the matter, said that there would be ample evidence that the proceedings before the grand jury were conducted according to law, and that the decision of the supreme court of Georgia in the case of earl or the State, was a sufficient answer to the charge that the county police were not legally qualified to discharge the duty they were in the act of discharging when County Officer Heard was killed. The decision referred to is reported in Georgia Reports, 124, p 28, as follows: "Under the act of December 8th, 1899, an inspector of roads and bridges, who has been sworn in as a deputy sheriff may arrest for the violation of the criminal laws of this state, as other deputy sheriffs. His appointment and qualification as a deputy sheriff may be shown by proof that he acts as such, without production of the written appointment." MYERS—Mrs. Mary Myers departed this life Sunday morning, November 4th, 1906 at 9 o'clock A.M. after an illness of only two days. Her funeral took place from the Fifth Street Baptist Church of which she was a member Tuesday, November 6th, at 3 o'clock P. M., Rev. A. E. Edwards, D. D. officiating. He was assisted in the services by Revs. W. H. Stokes, Z. D. Lewis, S. C. Burrell and W. H. Taylor. She had been a member of the church for more than thirty years, and a member of the Fifth Street Baptist Church since its organization. She was also a member of the Friends Union and St. Martha's Council of St. Lukes, both of which paid their last tribute of respect. She leaves a husband, two daughters six brothers and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn their loss. The interment took place in Evergreen. Punishes Innocent With the Guilty.

THE BLUNDER OF THE CENTURY. Washington, Nov. 6.—Unprecedented in the history of the army of the United States is the action of the President, just announced, in dismissing in disgrace from the army an entire battalion of colored troops because of their failure to disclose the identity of some of their number who had been guilty of violence and murder. As an evidence however, of his intention to be fair to the colored troops, the President has accompanied this action by an older which may amount to the court martial of a white army officer of high grade, who was charged with having cast slurs upon the colored troops. The story of both actions is told in the following official correspondence made public to-day by the military secretary: the calling of the company rolls, making check inspections, and other duty of formal character; but that their responsibilities of office accompany them everywhere and at all times; that it is their duty to become thoroughly acquainted with the individual members of their respective units, to know their character lics; to be able at all times toguage their temper, in order to discover the beginning of discontent or of mutinous intentions, and to anticipate any organized act of disorder; that they must notify their officers at once of any such conditions. Moreover, the people of the United States, wherever they live, must feel assured that the men wearing the uniform of the army are their protectors, and not midnight assassins or riotous disturbers of the Died.

G., who is now forming and creating a pure, THE SHOOTING AT BROWNSVILLE "The report of an investigation made by Brigadier General E. A. Garlington, Inspector General of the army, relative to the riotous disturbance that occurred at Brownsville, Texas, on the night of August 13th, 1906, and resulted in the death of one citizen and the wounding of another citizen of that city has been considered and acted upon by the President. Following are his instructions with regard to the mat- "The White House. "Washington, Nov. 5, '06 "The Secretary of War: "I have read through General Garlington's report, datal October 23d, submitted to me by you. I direct that the recommendations of General Garlinston be computed with, and that at the same time the conclusion portion of his report be published with our sanction as giving the reasons for his action. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." "Following is the concluding portion of General Garlinston's report, which embodies the recommendations that, by direction of the President, will be carried into effect immediately by the War Department: "I recommend that orders be issued as soon as practicable, without honor, every man in Companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, serving at Fort Brown, Texas, on the night of August 13th, 1906, and forever debarring them from re-enlisting in the army or navy of the United States, as well as from employment in any civil capacity under the government. In making this recommendation, I recognize the fact that a number of men who have no direct knowledge as to the identity of the men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry who actually fired the shots on the night of the 13th of August, 1906, will incur this extreme penalty. THE BATTALION INVOLVED It has been established by careful investigation beyond reasonable doubt that the firing into the houses of the citizens of Brownsville while the inhabitants thereof were pursuing their peaceful vocations or sleeping, and by which one citizen was killed and the chief of police so seriously wounded that he lost an arm, was done by enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, belonging to the battalion at Fort Brown. After due opportunity and notice, the enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry have failed to tell all that it is reasonable to believe they know concerning the shooting. If they had done so; if they had been willing to relate all the circumstances—incidents preliminary to the trouble—it is extremely probable that a clue sufficiently definite to lead to results would have been disclosed. "They appear to stand together in a determination to resist the detection of the guilty; therefore, they should stand together when the penalty falls. A forceful lesson should be given to the army at large and especially to the non-commis sloned officers, that their duty does not cease upon the drill ground, with the calling of the company rolls, making cheek inspections, and other duty of formal character; but that their responsibilities of office accompany them everywhere and at all times; that it is their duty to become thoroughly acquainted with the individual members of their respective units, to know their character lattice; to be able at all times to guage their temper, in order to discover the beginning of discontent or of mutinous intentions, and to anticipate any organized act of disorder; that they must notify their officers at once of any such conditions. Moreover, the people of the United States, wherever they live, must feel assured that the men wearing the uniform of the army are their protectors, and not midnight assassins or riotous disturbers of the peace of the community in which they may be stationed." COL. PITCHER'S ALLEGED STATE MENT. "On October 5th, 1996, a squadron of the Ninth Cavalry, an organization of colored troops, reported at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, III., under orders from the War Department assigning them to duty there. Seen after this assignment, there appeared in the public press the following account of a statement alleged to have been made with regard to the matter by Colonel William L Pitcher, Twenty-seventh Infantry: "The Negro troops would never have been quartered at Fort Sheridan without a protest if I was to remain in command here, said Col. Pitcher. 'I never liked them and the farther away from me they are kept the better it pleases me. For the life of me I cannot see why the United States should try to make soldiers' out of them. Certainly there are enough fine white young men in this big country to make soldiers of without recruiting from such a source." "This alleged statement by Colonel Pitcher having been brought to the attention of the President, the following communication with regard to it was sent to the War Department by Secretary Loeb: "The President directs that an immediate report be called for from Col. Pitcher to know whether or not he is correctly quoted in the enclosed clipping; and if he is correctly quoted the President directs that proceedings be taken against him for such punishment as can be inflicted. The President thinks that such conduct is but little better than that of the offending Negro troops themselves. 12th Marriage Anniversary or Linen Wedding Reception. 806-606-6060 Rev. Dr. and Mrs. W.

I think we're pretty safe, therefore, in assuming that the Frenchman of these clippings is Tre- maine. Ax we go on I believe we'll find some internal evidence confirming this.

Yet in 1900 she marries Delroy. She must, therefore, have had good reason to be: Heve Tremaine dead.” “Don't you see?” L cried. “That's the meaning of that item about the foua- dering of the Centaur, with all on board.

SATURDAY . NOV. 10th. 1906 THE PRESENT OUTLOOK The situation in the South is interesting, if not to say puzzling to some people. It presents two separate and distinct sides. In the realm of politics, the Negro is a nonentity. He is absolutely out of the equation. As this situation was announced to be the solution of all the embarrassing questions affecting the race in this part of the country the people at the North have necessarily been wondering why the southerners should now be talking about the Negro question and why it is they do not divide on economic issues as they promised they would do, if they were permitted to eliminate the Negro as a voting quantity in the government The southerners claimed that all they wanted at that time was to be let alone and left alone to deal with these issues as they saw fit. The North took them at their word and for forty years, every species of deviltry has been permitted by the national government so long as its perpetration was confined to Negroes and old issue white Publicans. The Supreme Court of the United States with a skill that was wonderful and sleight of hand side step that was marvelous, parried every attempt made to get a case squarely before it with reference to the War Amendments and nullified every act of legislation that could be construed to give the black man that chance for the equality before the law that has oeen the burden of every orator's song for a decade in this Republic. Colored men saw that they must look to the states for their rights that questions presumed to have been settled by the late war, save the one claiming the right for states to secede in accordance with their will and pleasure had been nullified openly by the defiant cohorts of this Southern land. All support of a tangible kind was withdrawn and the blood of Negroes began to flow in steadily increasing quantities. The colored people at least submitted to the inevitable and proceeded to follow the advice of the Republicans, whom they elected to office. They went about trying to make friends with their bitter enemies and now and then they found a steadfast friend, who sympathized with them in their undone conition and vouchsafed assistance in their misery. But the white people of the south land had virtually separated into two camps. One represented the political Negro-hating element that found out that the safest and surest way to ride into office was by unlimited abuse of the "brother in black." whom they painted in colors so black and portrayed in conditions so revolting that the average minl of the white man did not realize that this creature so described was the product of the South and reflected in its countenance the heartlessness of the oppressor. The Negro-haters constituted the great majority. Nothing is so popular in this southern land as the abuse of this humblest of God's creatures. The liberal minded white man, who loves justice, hates oppression and counsels mercy is therefore handicapped in that he is ridiculed whenever he attempts to make himself heard and while he wins to a great extent between election times, much of his argument and labor is nullified when the slogan of the politician is heard in the land. The remarkable part of the present situation is the virtual acknowledgement that the South has failed. It demands in some quarters that the impossible be granted, to wit, that the Negro be removed to Africa or some other distant land or that he be exterminated upon our shores. When this demand is insisted upon then the national government, backed by the sympathy of the civilized world will step in and demand that the question be settled in accordance with the principles of equity and justice. In the meantime, the seeming dark pall that has settled over the Negro and his hopes in the Southland hides from view the remarkable pro progress that he is making. He is being tried by fire and he is acquiring property, securing an education and piling up money. It will only be a question of a decade when the dissolute, money-spending qualities in culcated in him by the white man will have been eliminated and he will in a large measure become to the United States what the Jews of this day and generation are to France. We see much good in the situation and at no time have we lost hope. Our future prosperity and permanent glory rests in this land where we have borne the heat and burden of the day and suffered from the chilling blasts beneath the rays of a heatless sun. MR. ROOSEVELTS BLUNDER The action of President Theodore Roosevelt in dismissing without honor every man in Companies B, C and D of the Twenty fifth Infantry because they did not disclose the names of the men of the battalion alleged to have been concerned in the riotous disturbance and tragedy at Brownsville, Texas on the night of August 13th, 1906 is without a precedent in the history of the country. When we state that it is conceded that not more than twelve men were concerned in the escapade and that more than one hundred of them are confessedly innocent, we have made out our case and President Roosevelt stands in a position which is too embarrassing for any gentleman of his position and station in life to occupy. It certainly is out of harmony with the principles of this republic and it is in violation of every guarantee of the federal constitution that he is sworn to observe and ex amplify. He has summarily punished these men without a trial by either judge, jury or court martial and he has gone so far as to say that confessedly in nocent men shall be forever barred from service, not only in the army and navy of the United States, but from civil appointments. What has come over the President? We have felt disposed to deal with the question in a far more drastic manner, but it seems to us that the mere statement of the facts is the severest condemnation of his action There are some colored people of this country who have been too blind to see and some others too prejudiced in this distinguished gentleman's favor to hear, but if this action does not make them both see hear and feel and measure Mr. Roosevelt by the same rule that he has manufacture for other people's benefit then we shall consider them beyond the pale of intelligent argument and fit candidates for the oblivion that lies beyond. Pres. Roosevelt has made the most monumental blunder of his administration. The fact that he with-held his decision until after the election emphasizes the fact that he is about as much of a politician as he is a statesman The announcement of his intentions would have changed the complexion of the vote in several north ern states and if it does not figure in many elections to come we shall have been greatly mistaken in the independent attitude of the Republi can voters of the north. The result of Mr. Roosevelt's southern tour is now painfully apparent. We propresied this at the time and we now venture the assertion that he would not have dared to have visited the severest punishment known to the law upon a battalion of white troops, who had been guilty of a similar action in a white neighborhood. Had he done so delegation after delegation would have voiced its protest and he would have met with such a disapproving wave of opinion that he would not have been able for a long time to rest THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA easy in the White House. Every state in the Union that has any citizens of color should voice a protest and Theodore Roosevelt, the President should know in no uncertain language the opinion of the Negroes as citizens of this Republic.

CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE. ment: "In view of the result, I have only to repeat what I have said in my speeches. I am enlisted in this fight against the control of the government by the trusts and corrupt corporations, and I will fight it to the end. "But I will serve in the lead or in the ranks just exactly as the people desire, and earnestly and loyally in one place as in the other. The people have decided to retain the Republican party in power. I will make my fight in the ranks, therefore, and as a private citizen do my best to promote the interests of my fellow citizens." In Brooklyn, where Senator Patrick H. McCarran made a bitter fight against Hearst, the latter carried the borough by a small plurality, 4000. At one time it seemed that Hughes had been successful in Brooklyn, but the late returns were all strongly in favor of the Democratic candidate. Mr. Hearst has been given a majority of nearly 70,000 in Manhattan and the Bronx. Queens county, which includes Long Island City, has gone for Hearst by from 6000 to 8000, and Richmond (Staten Island) has also given the Democratic candidate a plurality. Hearest's Greatest Strength in Cities As was generally expected, Mr. Hearest showed his greatest strength in the cities throughout the state and took out of the Republican column a number of the more important municipalities which heretofore have been Republican. Among the cities which gave Hearest a plurality were Buffalo Rochester, Utica, Troy, Elimira, Rome Little Falls and Johnstown. All of these, except Utica and Rome, were Republican two years ago. Mr. Hughes did not gain a single city. The Republican ticket was successful, but sustained serious losses in Syracuse, Gloversville, Amsterdam, Ithaca, Schenectee, Watertown and Plattsburgh. Great interest centered here in New York in the campaign waged for the judiciary ticket named by a committee of lawyers, headed by Joseph H. Choate and former Judge Alton B. Parker. The Tammy and Independence League joint ticket won over the non-partisan candidates by big pluralities. State Senator Thomas F. Grady, of Tammy Hall, has been reelected over Thomas Rock, who has been known in the campaign as "Eight Hour" Rock, and who claimed he had been "tricked" by the Independence League. Throughout the state there has been a notable falling off in the vote from 1904, which was a presidential year. The Republican ticket showed the greatest loss in this respect, especially in the cities. There were many odd turns to the balloting. Here in New York it was Richmond borough that defeated Mr. Hearst for mayor a year ago, and it was Brooklyn, with a big plurality, which hepens him to make the race so close. Mr. Hearst barely carried Brooklyn Tuesday, but ran ahead in Richmond. In Schenectady, one of the best organized lab r cities in the United States, it was expected Mr. Hearst would have a substantial plurality. The Republican ticket was successful by 374 votes, as against a Higgins plurality of 1621 two years ago. While both the state senate and assembly will be strongly Republican, the Democrats are claiming that they have made gains. PRESIDENT RECEIVED RETURNS His Greatest Interest Was Centered in Gubernatorial Fight in New York. Washington, Nov. 7 — President Roosevelt eagerly awaited the returns from the elections as they came in over the telegraph wires to the executive offices. After dining with his family on his return from Oyster Bay he hurried to his office, where, with Secretary Root, Postmaster General Cortellou, Assistant Secretary Bacon, Secretary Loeb and Assistant Attorney General Cooley, he scanned the reports furnished him by the Press Association, and by various private sources all over the country. The greatest interest centred in the reports from New York, where the early returns indicated that if Mr. Hughes were elected, the claims of his managers of large majorities for him would be materially reduced. Early in the evening Secretary Root estimated that Mr. Hughes majority might vary between 60,000 and 75,000. One of the dispatches received by Secretary Root came from the editor of the Press at Utica, in which city the secretary made his only speech of the campaign. This dispatch indicated the re-election of Representative Sherman and the success of Mr Hughes in Oneida county by a majority of about 3000. An early personal telegram to the president said that Hughes had carried Oyster Bay by 152 majority. MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICAN Governor Guild Re-Elected and En- larged State Ticket Gaps Through Tire State Ticket Goes Through. Boston, Nov. 7. The Republicans, after a short but spirited campaign, were victorious in the state election, Governor Guild being re-elected by 37,000 plurality. His opponent, District Attorney John B. Moran, of Boston, the candidate of the Democratic and Prohibition party and the Independence League, received a somewhat larger vote than that given the Democratic candidate a year ago. The Republicans re-elected their entire state ticket, although Lieutenant Governor Draper fell considerably behind Governor Guild. The next legislature will be Republican by the usual large majority in both houses, and this will insure the election of United States Senator W. Murray Crane, who is at present completing a brief term. The Massachusetts delegation to congress will remain practically the same, although spirited contests in the Fifth, Sixth, Tenth and Eleventh districts made the result in those section doubtful at an early stage of the tabulation. The outcome of the election was a considerable disappointment to Mr. Moran and his fellow campaigners—E. Gerry Brown, of Brockton, candidate for lieutenant governor, and George Fred Williams, of Dedham. THE VOTE IN MARYLAND Three Republicans and Three Democ rists Established in C crats Elected to Congress. Baltimore, Md., Nov. 7.—Maryland's delegation in the 60th congress will be three Republicans and three Democrats, proportionately the same as at present, but with a change in two of the districts. Harry B. Wolf D., popularly known as the "Newsboy" candidate, defeated his Republican opponent, W. W. Johnson, and takes the place of the present incumbent, Frank Wachier, R., who had declined renomination. Wolf is only 25 years old, while his opponent is a veteran in Baltimore politics. The other change was in the First district, where Thomas A. Smith, D., was defeated by William H. Jackson, R., after, it is claimed by the Democrats, a lavish use of money by the Republicans. The labor campaigns against Congressman Mudd told heavily in that portion of the Fifth district within Baltimore city, but was counterbalanced in the counties within the district. STUART SWEEPS PENNSYLVANIA Is Elected Governor By Nearly 100.000 Plurality. IMMENSE REPUBLICAN GAINS Latest Returns From Counties Show Heavy Losses to Fusion Candidate, Compared With Berry's Vote—Republicans Carry Philadelphia By 40,000 and Elect Rotan District Attorney. Philadelphia, Nov. 7.—The most exciting campaign in Pennsylvania in 25 years has ended in a triumph for Edwin S. Stuart, Rep. for governor, over Lewis Emery, Jr., Dem, and Lincoln Party, by a plurality of nearly 100,000. Aside from the contest for governor and other state officers, the chief interest centered in the battle in Philadelphia for district attorney and in a EDWIN S. STUART few of the congressional districts. Members of the house of representatives and county officers were elected in nearly every county, and state senators were chosen in 25 of the 50 districts. Samuel P. Rotan, R., was elected district attorney in Philadelphia by a vote which will exceed 40,000, defeating D. Clarence Gibboney, who had the support of the reform forces and the Democrats. The incoming legislature will be strongly Republican, although not so overwhelmingly for that party as it was two years ago. The new personal registration law, which went into effect since the last election, reduced the normal vote in many of the cities. The corrupt practices act, which also became operative since the last election, also operated to cut down the vote in some localities. The act prohibits the use of money at elections, except for legitimate purposes, and is claimed to have deterred many poll workers from buying votes. One of the chief issues in the state campaign was the new capitol, which was dedicated on October 4. The Fusionists claimed that several million dollars of overcharges and duplications are represented in furnishing and equipping the building. The Republican candidates pledged themselves if elected to honestly investigate those charges and to place the responsibility for the alleged extravagance where it rightfully belonged. Of the congressional contests the hottest was that against John Dalzell, one of the Republican floor leaders. Dalzell was opposed by Dr. R. J. Black, who was nominated by the Fusionists because it was thought he would be popular with the labor unions, which are strong in this district. There were contests against Congressman Acheson in the Washington district; Olmsted in the Dauphin district; Lafean in the York district; Lilly in the Bradford district, and Dale in the Lackawanna district. Thomas D. Nichols, district president of the United Mine Workers, was the Democratic nominee and was elected over Dale. Deemer was defeated by William B. Wilson, D., national secretary and treasurer of the Mine Workers. John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers, made speeches for Nichols and Wilson in their districts. The state senators who were elected will serve in the next two regular sessions of the legislature, and will vote for a United States senator in the session of 1909, when a successor to Boles Penrose will be chosen. The state was apportioned by the legislature at the extra session, and Tuesday's election was the first under the new apportionment. State Senators Elected. The following state senators were elected: Selected: 2d district—John M. Scott, R. 6th—F. S. Mellhenny, F. 8th—John T. Murphy, R. 12th—A. B. Roberts, R. 14th—G. Frank Rowland, D. 20th—E. F.

J., Nov. 7.—The next legislature will be Republican on joint ballot, but both houses will not be Republican. This means the election of a Republican as the successor of United States Senator John F. Dryden. The Democrats elect Learn and Hammill to congress in the Ninth and Tenth districts. The Republicans carry the First, Second, Third, Rourth, Fifth Seventh and Eighth districts. The Sixth district is in doubt. This gives the Republicans seven congressmen and the Democrats two, with one in doubt. The Democrats have elected Hinchcliff to the state senate from Passaic county. Two of the Passaic solemnies are Democrats and three are Republicans. In Essex county the assembly ticket is in some doubt, but with the chances favoring the Democrats, Newark has elected Jacob Hanssling, D., mayor. Should the Democrats elect their assembly ticket in Essex it will deprive Mr. Dryden of the support of his home county and man mean the choice of some other Republican to go to the United States senate. Congressmen elected in New Jersey are: First District—*Henry C. Loudenslager, R. Second—*John J. Gardner, R. Third—*Benjamin F. Howell, R. Fourth—*Ira W. Wood, R. Seventh—*Richard W. Parker, R. Eighth—Henry J. Gotthob, R. Ninth—Eugent W. Leake, D. Tenth—James A. Hamill, D. The state senators elected in New Jersey are: Burlington county—Samuel K. Robbins, R. Cape May county—Robt. E. Hand, R. Hunterdon county—William C. Gebhardt, D. Middlesex county—W. H. C. Jackson, R. Passaic county—*John Hinchcliffe, D. Sussex county—Jacob C. Price, D. *Replaces a Republican. Hold-over senators—Republican, 13; Democrats, 2. Elected—Republicans, 3; Democrats, 3. Totals—Republicans, 16; Democrats, 5. Present senate—Republicans, 17; Democrats, 4. REPUBLICANS CARRY DELAWARE Elected Congressman and Will Control the Legislature. Wilmington, Del., Nov. 7.--Delaware went Republican by a majority of 2506 Congressman Hiram R. Burton, R., of Lewes, is re-elected over ex-Judge David T. Marvel, D., of Wilmington. State Treasurer Thomas N. Rawlins, R., of Seaford, is re-elected over Robert H. Wilson, D., of Dover. Thomas C. Roe, R., of Dover, is elected auditor of accounts over Kendall M. Wiley, D., of Bridgeville. The Republicans will also control the next legislature that will elect a successor to United States Senator Allee, R. It is probable the Republicans will have a two-thirds majority in the house. State Senator Sparks, R. was reelected in Wilmington over Democratic State Chairman Bayard and Bradley, U. P. The separate Union Republican (Addicks) ticket in New Castle county ran poorly. It is estimated its vote will not exceed 300. WEST VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN Elect All Congressmen and Assure Re- Election of U. S. Senator Elkins. Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 7.—Returns from counties in West Virginia show the success of all five of the Repub- lican congressional nominees by the following pluralities: Hubbard, R. First district, 3000. Susquehanna R. 1500. The legislature will be Republican with the present joint ballot majority of 57, insuring the re-election of Senator S. B. Eikins. Oklahoma Democratic Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 7.—The constitution of the new state of Oklahoma will be written by Democrats. Vernon H. Whiting, secretary of the Oklahoma Republican committee, concedes the Democrats the three delegates, while Chairman Jesse Dunn, of the Democratic committee, says there will be at least 78 Democratic delegates on the floor of the convention. Republican managers admit that Oklahoma proved a great disappointment. The "unknown" quantity of the Indian territory was a concession to the Democrats, but nine Oklahoma districts, counted on by the Republican leaders, were carried by the opposition. The Osage nation elected two Democrats. The Indians as a general rule voted the Democratic ticket. Very Small Vote In South Carolina. Charleston, S. C., Nov. 7. The election held in South Carolina was without incident and a very small vote was polled. For governor M. F. Ansel, B., and the entire state ticket was elected, the only opposition being J. L. Chandler, who received half a hundred Socialist votes. Seven Democratic congressmen were elected, five without opposition. The Republican nominees in the Fourth and Seventh districts got only a handful of votes. THE PLANET SATURDAY.....NOV. 10th. 1906. DISCLOSED HER IDENTITY.

ORDERS THE BURIAL STOPPED Body Withdrawn as it Is About to Be Covered—Bereaved Husband Having Vault Built So He Can Visit It. Pottstown, Pa—Every night for two weeks W. H. R. Roth, a rising young engineer, has sat at the side of a coffin, looking on the face of his dead wife and holding a stiff, icy hand in his own. While earth was being thrown on the coffin in Mount Zion cemetery Roth ordered the work to stop. He declared he could not bear to see the body of his wife hidden by clay, and that he would watch the white, fixed face by night and every day lay fresh flowers on the coffin. Roth's actions have caused great uneasiness to his relatives and friends. He is keeping the body in an undertaker's shop until a vault is built in the cemetery. He has given orders that the vault be airy and light so that he can go there and continue his vigils. The man's wife was Miss Della Irene Rhoades, a daughter of Squire Rhoades, one of the foremost citizens of the town. She was married on her nineteenth birthday, just two years ago, the bridegroom being two years the elder. The girl's father furnished a home for the couple, and as Roth occupied a profitable position and had a prospect of going into business for himself, life looked rosy for the couple. A boy was born about six months ago. Mrs. Roth was in splendid health all summer until late in August, when she fell ill, and in two days was dead. The funeral day was set. Roth wanted to delay it indefinitely, but was arbitrarily overruled by his relatives. It was with difficulty he was induced to go to the cemetery. Finally when he consented to enter a carriage he rode all the way to Mount Zion without speaking a word. He sat with his elbows on his knees and his 'face' in his hands, and until the cemetery was reached it was impossible to rouse him. The grave was lined with moss and ferns, and Roth, looking into it, expressed the belief it was just as his wife would have wished it. He was contained until the first shovelful of earth was dropped on the coffin. The THE FUNERAL "Stop!!" He Cried. minister had just spoken the last prayer, when Roth became frantic at the sound of the thump of the clay on the coffin lid. "Stop!" he cried, raising his hand. "I can't stand it—I can't." Men gathered around and protested quietly, but the man would not listen. He waved them all away, and then in shaking voice said: "It's not right. Bella doesn't want to lie there. I can't have her covered with clay." There was a tense silence, and Roth cried out: "Why do you delay? Take Bella out or I will do it myself." There was a consultation between the men around the grave, and at length Roth's excitement became so great that it was decided to accede to his wish. The coffin was drawn out of the grave, and with Roth following on foot it was taken to the undertaker's establishment. There Roth uncovered the face, and with his hands stroked the cheeks. "My wife. My wife," he kept repeating. "They will not take you from me." It was thought that the man soon would consent to the burial. He was told that the authorities would not permit the body to remain long above ground, and he exclaimed: "Then I'll build a vault—a little house—in the cemetery, where I can go and sit and talk to Della. I will see her and tell her my love is as of old every day." Work on the vault is being rushed, and it is expected that the body may be transferred there in a few days. Roth goes to work as usual, but hurries to the undertaker's shop at noon IT WILL PAY YOU BORS AND INTEREST THEM IN THE PLANET WE WILL HELP YOU TO OBTAIN A PREMIUM.

Hard licks make good luck. Godliness is manliness made perfect. Only an insignificant temper is lost easily. We find in the world what lies in our hearts. The common task makes the un- common hero. Grumbling does not help your growth in grace. Many a cross disposition is mistaken for a divine cross. The way to find life's gloom is to seek only your own glory. You cannot chase away the world's gloom with a cast iron smile. Some of the best sermons ever given have come in soup plates. The bitter tongue sends most of its poison back into its own heart. Many a soul has chosen real sin because chastised for imaginary ones. If men treated their stomachs better, their souls would worry them less. No one knows any more about heaven than he finds out by making others happy. It will be hard to cash your repentance in heaven unless it is indorsed by reformation. When a man looks on his religion as a ticket, he is apt to find himself on the wrong train. When you meet a truth that is afraid of any other truth, you know you have found a falsehood.—Chicago Tribune. PROVERBS AND PHRASES. Faith flourishes in solitude.—Beaumont. A short man and a long dinner.—From the French. When two fall out, the third wins.—From the German. From saying to doing is a long way —From the Italian. If the eyes do not admire, the heart will not desire.—From the Italian. When the mouse has had enough, the meal is bitter.—From the Dutch. The prick of a pin is enough to make an empire insipid for a time. —From the French. A great man must be happy in a state of slavery as well as in a state of freedom.—Plato. We carry our neighbor's fallings in sight; we throw our own over our shoulder.—From the French. All extremes are vicious, and come from man. All compensation is just, and comes from God.—La Bruyere. SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY. We sometimes think the greatest of all the virtues is politeness. We have always thought we would have to sleep in a bed that had to be undressed before we could get into it. Looking for business is like looking for four-leaf clovers, which somebody else always finds easily enough. If Luther Burbank is so smart, why doesn't he grow watermelons that have handles on them to carry them by? After a girl reaches 15 and puts on long dresses what happens to her legs? They are covered up, and so far as people know they become crooked. It has happened many times when Miss Princess returns to her father's palace and is happy in the thought of the imposing appearance she made when on the streets, that she finds the torn hem of her petticoat was dragging all the time she was down town, and she is so humiliated that her haughtiness falls from her like a garment.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe LOVE AND MARRIAGE Long engagements keep a fellow short. Matches are made in heaven—misfits in the other place. All men are capable liars—but married men have the greater opportunities. Warm love is sometimes less successful in melting a girl than cold cash. With That Exception "I hope you had no trouble in holding the congregation while I was away," said Rev. Dr. Fourthly, who had just returned from his summer vacation. "Well, no," said Rev. K. Mowatt Laightly, the young clergyman who had occupied the pulpit during his absence, "except on one occasion. I had announced the Sunday previous that I should preach a sermon for the benefit of the heathen, and there didn't anybody come. I think the congregation must have misunderstood me, somehow."—Chicago Tribune. To interest yourself in promot ing the CIRCULATION of the RICHMOND PLANET.

Eventful Life of a Faithful Soldier Wis, Rallvac be oc Cckcalan “Thirty years that I enjoyed,” sald Ordnance Sergeant -Kelly the other day, as be wac packing bis boxes on “Noncom” street, in Jefferson bar- racks, St. Louls, for a hike to Boston, where he is going Into business. An adventurons life it was upon which the veteran looked back, and a ‘queer sort of good time it would seem to the peaceful ctvitian, fond of his ease, and not broken to the whistle of bullets or the acrid dust clouds of a glaring alkail plain. But Sergeant Kelly sticks to ft that it was a good time for him, and that in earning his enviable record under the flag he has enjoyed live to the full. Perhaps he has. At any rate, he has the feeling that a long nervice is ended honorably, with every duty done. His “good times” do not sound like Stories of picnics. Among these pleas- urable experiences may be mentioned fighting for two days in command of a platoon against a band of Minnesota Indians who surrounded his company in a forest and killed the captain and Seven men. Another “good time” he experienced was through the attempt of an Indian chief in Dakota to burn the camp of his company by settitng fire to all the woods encircling it. Sul another “good ume” Sergeant Kelly had was serving 36 hours con- tinuonsly in a water filled trench at San Juan hill, within 300 yards of ‘the Spanish lines. An equally “good time” the sergeant enjoyed in the Philippines on more than one occasion chasing the nimble insurgent through the rice elds or dodging bullets which played a tattoo on the Amer- fean camp at night. ‘The veteran sergeant ts the type of that good soldier who can fight better -_ 7 i \.

All the offcers who know Kelly join in his praises. Put Sergeant Kelly him. self, when asked to tell about his bat- tles, blushed and stammered and said that he had never done anything worth talking about, Much persnasion was necessary to induce him to talk of his military eareer. He entered in Boston when he was about 20 years old. That ought to make him 50 years old; but he is not. As a matter of fact, he did not enlist 30 years ago; In fact, it was hardly 25 years ago; but the depart- ment allows double time for forelgn service, and, ss the sergeant served ‘a little more than five years in Cuba and the Philippines, his quota of 30 years has been completed. and he still is a comparatively youig man. He looks forwerd yet to many years of Usefuiness, but he looks tack over a career that was fall of opportunities for its abrupt ending. ‘When Kelly joined the army he was assigned to the Third United States infantry. That was October 20, 1880, Enlistments are for five years. Dur- Ing this first en}istment Eelly rose to be first sergoant of bis company— something rather unusual. His was I company of the Third, and it was stationed fn Dakota. Soon after ft ar rived ig that territory I and one other company of the Third were ordered. with fonr troops of cavalry, to the forks of the Cheyenne river to protect white men who were cutting timber there from the raids and attacks of Big Foot and his band of Stoux and Cheyenne Indians. ~“It was my first experience with the Indians,” sald Sergeant Kelly, “and it ‘was the hottest time T ever had. We had camped ona flat near the Chay- ‘enne river, and when he couldn't se- Hlously annoy us otherwise Big Foot ung to bura us up. He started fires at the same tine In a circle sev- Sermed fa mr Same, Se ey Zoran ana cea a> Sioa Ned ee og et ee them with a noise like revolver “That was the closest call I had with Big Foot's band of Indians. The detachment I was with had orders not to fire on the Indians except as a last resort. Big Foot found this out, and a8 a result. wes very brave in his at tempts to annoy us. He brought his painted tribe in on2 night with thelr tom-toms and held a war daace right in our camp. But, wader the orders, the commanding of'cer let them alone, And he rode away, daring the soldiers to come out and get him. “He got too gey one day and his bluff was called. One troop of cavalry was out scouting by itself, and Big Foot and his entire tribe met it Big Foot detailed two braves to seize the horse of each cavalryman and turn it back to camp. They went back in view of their orders not to fire until necessary, “When Capt. Hennissee saw them he was red-hot. ‘Go back,’ he said, ‘and stay there.’ The lieutenant in command ordered his men to draw their pistols. Then they rode back. Big Foot saw they meant business and quit his bluffing.” The Indian campaign in the north- west, in which Sergeant Kelly did Rot get # better taste of active service than he has described, reruited In his losing his job, the only time in his military career. The war department docited to abciish two companies of each [afantr® reciment and recruit two Indiaa companies instead. Kelly's company, I, was abolished and a red- skin outfit recruited in tts place. A brave named Hairy Ceat became first Sergeant Instead of Thomas Kelly. But Kelly was not long out, The officers of the Third would not lose him, and he scon reappeared on the roster as first sergeaat of B company, in this company and in this eapactty he bad experience enough to Ml fat a Bock. After @ humdrum barracks life of ten years or more, Kelly's company and regiment were ordered to Cuba with Shafter’s command. It was In the battle of El Caaey, July 1, 1898, and in the campaizn against Santiago, July 1 to 11, 1898; it was in Gen. Bates’ “fying column” in the battle of San Juan Hi. Second Lieutenant Paul Giddings was In command of the company there and First Sergeant Kelly was next in command. The company had most of its experiences in the trenches. / Sergeant Kelly teils a story of how, A coffee pot served us a flag of truce while his company was encamped within 300 yards of the Spanish Lines. “We had strict orders not to stick our heads above the trenches,” he saya, “except when firing. I did not know it, but I guess now the Span jards had the same orders. We had had a heavy rain, the water in the trenches up to our waists, and we bad been In it for 24 hours. ‘There was no sleep for us, and. apparently, no eat ing. We had hard tack, bacon and fren coffee. You see what a meat that makes without a fire. We could n't build a fire anywhero, except on top of the trenches. The orders were positive not to even put our heads up. Bat one morning one of the mea—I won't tell his name—sald he was so ing on top of the trenches to make a fire. 1 warned him not to go, but he said he'd just as soon be shot as starve to death. So he climbed on top, took & few sticks and yt a coffee pot on top of them, and what do you suppose happened? “As soon as the smoke went up. uy pops @ Spanish soldier's head, and, in stead of firing. he picks up a few sticks and sticks a coffee pot on them and touches a mateh under {t, too He didn’t ‘see’ our man and none of us ‘saw’ him, Both sides had coffee. if any officer on elther side saw it, be didn’t interfere, and I didn’t think it was my place to do {t. “It was no fun in those trenches,” Sergeant Kelly remarked reminiscent ly, “although a trench fs not a dan gerous place. You only expose your head while you alm and fire; no mat ter how many bullets whistle over you, you are not In danger. “Most of our boys who were affect ed by the trenches and the heat suf. fered from mataria. More of our com: pany would have d'et there if it hadn't been for Lieutenant Giddings, who sent every night for a five gation juz of wine out of his own money, and gave A sup of it to every weak soldier in the command.” Returning from Cuba, the Third in- fantry was sent to Fort Snelling, Minn.

As everybody knows, the peculiar Jy firm expression notices ia we pur: tralts of Gea. Washington is due to the artificial teeth worn by the Fa. ther of H's Country. In bis day, dent- istry was in its ivfancy, and the sev- eral processes of removing and re- placing tcoth were crude and primi- tive. Among the various forward marches of modern civilization nothing is more marked and conspicuous for good results than the progress of American dentistry. Somewhere “about 1812 that indispensable article ‘of the tollet, the tooth brush, came into common uae. A socicty belle visiting friends in Albany wrote to her mother in Philadelphia that she had received a singular and very ase- fal present. ‘The present was a tooth brush, and it was a curiosity to the sirl and her friends. A little Inter than this period a brilliant British essayist in a talk addressed to workingmen, alluded with scorn to the effeminate practice of brushing the tecth. “The teeth of a healthy man,” he said, “should clean themselves.” Certainly it may be true that teeth decay faster and last a shorter time among refined and luxurious people than among sav- ages. Yet for all we know, the lat- ter may lose their teeth and say Uttle about it, accepting the loss with resignation as a decree of fate. A very prevaleat opinion, for ex- ample, is to the effect that the red man of the plains, with wide reaches of earth and sky, retains his sight in independence of oculists and glasses long after his brother of the white race has parted with his and resort- ed to such help from lenses ashe can get. This general impression is not supported by evidence. Those who are familiar with’ Indian life tell us that blindness {sa common af: fiction in the wigwam and tepee, and that the smoke from the fires on the hearth is anything but good for the eyes of old and young. A similar fallacy may be the statement that dentists would find ttle to do out- side of civilization. However that may be, there are few of us who have not more oF less experience in the disagreeable bust- ness of sitting In the dentist's chair. ‘Toothache 1s the most flendish of tor- tures, An ulcerated tooth is the most malignant and excruciating il to which flesh is heir. When a dent- ist proceeds with tranquillity to treat such a tooth, in order that he may save it for its owner, it is well to call up one’s renerve forces of pa- tence and make up one’s mind that for some days and nights he must know what It fs to suffer and be still, or to suffer and complain; of the suffering part he may be as- sured. Constantly ono sees in letters so large that he who runs may read, signs and placards attracting atten: tion from office windows and bearing the legend: “Palnless Dentistry.” ‘This must be taken with a grain of salt. Probably there is comparative ly painless dentistry at this date, but as for absolute painless dentistry, it does not exist. There is, of course, very great difference in the nervous susceptibility of the dentist's patients T have a friend woo tells me that her semiannual visits to her dent- ist are productive of delight. She anticipates them not only withqut a tremor, but with actual pleasure, and the buzzing thing that frightens me and the hammering and polishing end other details that I regard with hor- ror, only put her to sleep. “I take delictous naps in the dentist's chair,” she declares, with a smile. ee mt wl ie ee In making out the annual schedule of domestic expenses, it is essential to leave margin for dentistry.

Mr. Glatstone's great age and wonderful vigor of mind aad body to the ninetieth year of his ex traordinary career, were partly a counted for by the homely fact that he devoted a great deal of me and thought to chewing his food. The common method of hurrying over meats and eating food without chew: ing {€ produces chronic indigestion, M1 temper, and a host of incidental grievances and disturbaices.
