That the surgeons thought a long period of rest necessary, however, was shown when Colonel Roosevelt's secretaries announced that probably he would make no speeches during this campaign. Preparations for his removal to Oyster Bay were sketched, and when the time comes for his journey everything will be prepared to make it as comfortable as possible for the patient. A statement from the physicians confirmed the announcement by Secretary Martin. The pictures, however, had not yet been developed and it was on the outcome of this process that the doctors waited as a basis for determining finally whether an immediate operation was necessary. Ask for Army Chaplain. The first person whom the colonel asked to see after he had his breakfast was the Very Rev. Edward J. Vattman, a former-army chaplain, who retired with the rank of major. He and the colonel are old friends and this morning they enjoyed a chat for twenty-five minutes. When Father Vattman left he said: "He'll get well. There is no danger that he will die this time." Father Vattman lives in Wilmette, a suburb. He hastened to be at the colonel's side in Mercy hospital on learning that he had been wounded. "Colonel Roosevelt has a phenomenal development of the chest," said Dr. Terrell. "It is largely due to the fact that he is a physical marvel that he was not fatally wounded. He is one of the most powerful men I have ever seen laid out on an operating table. The bullet of the assassin lodged in the massive muscles of his chest instead of penetrating his lung. Milwaukee, Oct. 16.—The weapon which John Schrank used is a deadly one of 38-caliber. It is ugly, large and shining in its newness. It is of a kind used extensively in the army and is made to "shoot to kill." John Schrank is a curious study. He does not have the appearance of a laborer, and his hands are small and well formed and smooth, as though unused to toll. He talked fluently at times, using excellent English, but often he stopped abruptly and refused to say another word until his changing mood made him talkative once more. His appearance is that of an intelligent man and his large, clear eyes, which he held steadily upon his inquisitors, did not seem to the police like those of most men who are insane, although the police believe that he was afflicted with some form of mental disorder. His stories of dreams and visions and the curious letters and clippings found in his pocket seemed to them to bear out their theory. Whatever his state of mind it was apparent to all who saw him that John Schrank was thoroughly in earnest and that he felt that it was a matter of high duty for him to kill Theodore Roosevelt. Green Bay, Wls., Oct. 16.—Arthur Drier, sixteen years old, after holding twenty officers and a posse of armed citizens at bay at the big bend on Wolfe river, four miles north of Shawno, has surrendered. His brother, Calvin Drier, eighteen years old, still maintains his stronghold, firing frequently on members of the posse who get within range. Tuskegee Graduates Making Good. In order to ascertain to what extent young men and women of the colored race use their education in the trades and professions for which they have qualified themselves, an investigation has been recently made and statistics compiled concerning the students and graduates of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute. The result of the investigation showed that 86 per cent of the students and graduates of this school were following their chosen profession an teachers and industrial workers among their own people. They are making good and doing a work of primary importance among the masses. WOUND IS SERIOUS, THE DOCTORS SAY X-RAY PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN Chicago. Oct. 16.—Colonel Roosevelt's wound is not a mere flesh wound, but is a serious wound in the chest, said a bulletin issued by physiologists at Mercy hospital. This statement was made in the form of a bulletin which was issued by the doctors after a late examination of the wound made by the bullet of an assassin in Milwaukee. At 1:05 p. m., the following bulletin was issued by physicians attending Colonel Roosevelt at Mercy hospital: "The examination of Colonel Roosevelt at 1 p. m. showed his temperature was 98.8; his pulse 92; his respiration normal. It pains him to breathe. He must have absolutely; must cease talking and must not see anyone until we give permission. This is not a mere flesh wound, but a serious wound in the chest and quietude is essential." Crowd Gathers at Hospital. Eager for the latest news of the colonel's condition, a large crowd gathered in front of the hospital soon after the presidential candidate was admitted. The crowd grew as the day progressed. In spite of its size the throng was quiet and nothing but a subdued murmer came from it as messengers hurried back and forth. Dr. George F. Butler, a county physician, was among the colonel's visitors, accompanying Major Vattman. "I found the colonel enjoying his tea and toast," he said. "He didn't look of anything were the matter with him, but jerked out his hand, smiled so that he showed his teeth and said energetically: "I'm glad to meet a friend of Major Vattman." Managers for Colonel Roosevelt announced that all plans for continuing his campaign had been canceled. Medical men, after reading the official statements issued by surgeons attending the former president, were of the opinion that he would be able to leave the hospital within twelve or fifteen days. With the bullet removed, they said, the colonel would require absolute rest for that period to insure a speedy recovery. Slept Two Hours on Train. Colonel Roosevelt slept for two hours after the train, on which he was brought from Milwaukee, arrived in this city. Meanwhile, along the sides of the train, a crowd of several hundred persons stood silently watching, subdued by the attempt on the former president's life. When all was in readiness to remove the colonel to the hospital he was awakened by one of the attending surgeons. An automobile ambulance was backed up to within two feet of the private car, "Mayflower." The rear door of the coach was opened by Dr. Murphy and Colonel Roosevelt stepped out on the platform, his head erect, his shoulders thrown back. Several flash powders exploded and the camera men snapped their shutters. "Gosh! Shot again," exclaimed the colonel and chuckled. As he strode down the steps of the car to the waiting motor car Colonel Roosevelt saluted the newspaper men and police officers with a cheery "Good morning." Assisted Into Ambulance. After being assisted into the ambulance Colonel Roosevelt slowly reclined on the stretcher. His cousin took a seat beside him and with Dr. Murphy directing the chauleur the drive to Mercy hospital, two miles distant, was accomplished in eleven minutes. Colonel Roosevelt alighted unassisted at the hospital and walked to an invalid chair. He waved salutes to a group of reporters, but did not talk. As soon as possible after Colonel Roosevelt was in the suite of two rooms which had been prepared for him on the third floor, Dr. Hochrein began taking an X-ray photograph of the portion of the body where the bullet had entered. A consultation was held immediately afterward to determine whether an immediate operation should be made. The X-ray photograph was completed shortly before 8 a. m. Colonel Roosevelt was inclined to converse while the photograph was being taken. He also pu in part of the time reading, chiefly from magazines. May Use Local Anesthetic.

STEADY ADVANCE OF COLORED MEN Optimistic View, of Course, Taken by Afro-Americans In Respect to Their Duty to Make Every Reasonable Effort to Conserve the Best Interest of the Race. By education, long experience and constant effort to maintain his integrity as an American citizen the Negro is at last taking his rightful place in the ranks of all political parties with earnestness of purpose and a desire in so doing to conserve the best interests of the race in all sections of the country. If the highest ideals of our democratic form of government are ever to be realized all fair minded men, whether in the south or other sections of the country, must show their willingness to accord to the Negro the political rights which the constitution provides for all citizens without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude. This is all the Negro asks of Democrats, Republicans, the "third" party or any other political organization. This attitude of colored meu is in line with the views recently expressed by Colonel Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville (KY.) Courier-Journal. Mr. Watterson says: "A new generation of blacks has come upon the scene. These blacks are better educated. In the north they understand the situation. What do they owe the Republicans? In our opinion, nothing. "If they ever expect to help their brethren in the south this is a good chance to do it, because to the white people in the south they must look for substantial help and real advantage, and everything which allays race prejudice and brings the two people nearer together in friendly and neighborly intercourse will insure to the profit of the weaker in the life struggle. "The Courier-Journal has never sought to make a party profit out of the Negro. It is his friend and his neighbor, his fellow citizen and his fellow Christian. The whites cannot prosper if the blacks languish. We are, whites and blacks, in the same boat, and we must sit fair and row steady if we expect to be happy and make progress. "The white man should want nothing of the benefits of government for himself and his children which he is not willing to allow the black man for himself and his children. We are mutually dependent. We are bound to live together. We cannot get away from one another; hence a good working and living understanding is the basis of the common interest. "The black people long ago learned that some politicians had no use for them except to vote them. Through forty years they have been paying a debt they but half owed. In the meantime the whites of the south have been alding them in substantial ways. If they should turn about now and vote the Democratic ticket in the north or divide their vote they would be pursuing a wise policy. By this action they would be in position to assert at once their intelligence and their independence. The Columbia state of South Carolina opens its doors and welcomes the colored voters in and says in doing so it follows the advice of Alexander Stephens, General Gordon, Senator Zeb Vance and Matt Ransom of North Carolina and others. There is nothing new or strange in the opposition we are meeting with in our effort to ally ourselves with the different political parties, says Bishop Alexander Walters. We have always met with strong opposition in our endeavors to better our condition. When the Negro asked for admission into the army at the beginning of the civil war he was told that he was not wanted; that it was a white man's war. Even the great Lincoln at first threw his weight against allowing the Negro to fight, bleed and die to save the Union and break the shackles from his own ankles and wrists. Did the Negro give up because he was not wanted? "No; he was told that he was making a fool of himself to offer himself to the nation, to enter the army, to die to help a people who did not want him. He was driven like a dog from the Union camp, but the Negro had sense enough to know that he would better his condition by being admitted to the army, allowed to fight for his country and his freedom, so he persisted in his efforts and was finally admitted." NEW EDIFICE DEDICATED. Training School Makes Progress. Dr. Powell Chief Speaker. Washington - The National Training School For Women and Girls in this city dedicated its new modern dormitory building on Wednesday evening, Oct. 9, with appropriate exercises. The institution is directed by Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs, whose efficient leadership as president has been wonderfully blessed with large results. The principal address at the dedicatory ceremonies was delivered by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, the well known lecturer and successful pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist church in New York. The subject of Dr. Powell's address was "The Molding influence of Woman." He said in part: "Woman is the material masterpiece of God's creative genius, the mother of our nations and the queen of our homes. Under her benign Christian influence the dove of domestic peace flutters in the sunshine of love, and the marriage altar becomes as sacred as the oracles of God. No race can rise higher than its homes, and no home can rise higher than its mother. By the very virtue of the situation woman is the home maker. The husband is away all day at work and all night at the lodge or club. The home is therefore left under the molding influence of the mother. "Most people have a mistaken idea or what constitutes a home. When we see a fine house handsomely furnished, surrounded by an artistically shaped lawn, we say, 'What a beautiful home!' This may or may not be a home. Brick houses, bay windows, fine rugs, brass beds, birdseye maple, costly drapery, fine works of art, do not make a home. God bless the homes that can afford them, but you can have a home without any of them. A Christian mother, an open Bible, a family altar where the children kneel once a day while mother carries them to God on wings of praying love—this is a home, whether it be a hut in darkest Africa or a brownstone front in America's best civilization. "This kind of a home is rapidly disappearing from our country in general and from the large cities in particular, and we are losing power with God on this account. The crying need of America is not more schools, or more money, or more churches, or more eloquent preachers, but more mothers who will give God a place in the home." FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM. The Anthony Burns Incident Reoails Many Thrilling Stories. Sept. 22, 1912, was the fifthieth anniversary of the signing of Lincoln's proclamation of freedom to the slave. The event recalls one of a thousand or more incidents of the dark days when bloodhounds, slave drivers, the slave pen and the auction block were the fashion. Anthony Burns, who was bought out of slavery by the abolitionists of Boston and presented to himself, took the gift with many expressions of gratitude and straightway went to Oberlin, O., to educate himself for the ministry. Upon his arrival at Oberlin he, childlike, wrote back to Union to his old pastor for a letter of dismission from the church he so wickedly ran away from when he ran away from slavery. The pastor, Rev. John Clark, made the following answer: "The Church of Christ at Union, Fauquier county, Va. "Whereas, Anthony Burns, a member of the church, has made application to us by letter to our pastor for a letter of dismission in fellowship, in order that he may unite with another church of the same faith and order; and "Whereas, it has been satisfactorily established before us that the said Anthony Burns absconded from the service of his owner and refused to return voluntarily, thereby disobeying both the laws of God and man, although he subsequently obtained his freedom by purchase, yet we have now to consider him only as a fugitive from labor (as he was before his arrest and restoration to his owner) and have therefore "Resolved unanimously that he be excommunicated from the communion and fellowship of the church of Jesus Christ. Done by order of the church in regular church meeting this 20th of October, 1855. "W. W. WEST, Clerk." PUPIL OF NOTED TEACHERS.

With all of her attainments Mrs. Tapley is modest and unassuming in her bearing. MAN OF MANY ADVENTURES. Thrilling Story of Delaware Whiting's Experiences as a Seaman. Washington. - Delaware Whiting, the subject of this sketch, is a native of this city and received his early education in the well known Henry Highland Garnet public school. From a mere youth he seemed destined to become a child of the sea, and in 1880, at the age of sixteen, he enlisted in the United States navy receiving ship Dale, then stationed at Washington navy yard. Mr. Whiting was rapidly promoter and transferred from ship to ship. It was just after passing the required examination as a wreck blower that he was assigned to the Yantic, then wreck blowing along the coast of the Delaware breakwater, when that ship received orders from the secretary of the navy to blow up the hull of the famous ship Waterloo, then lying off Chatham, Mass. The fearless manner in which this lad went about his new duties would have done credit to a veteran, and the work was brilliantly performed. From that time on "Del," as he was wont to be called, could be relied upon whether the ship sank or swam. What Mr. Whiting is pleased to call the beginning of his foreign mission was in September, 1800, when he was transferred from the Yantic to the Pensacola, bound for Bluefields, Nicaragua, when he was promoted to the rank of second class apprentice. While sailing through the strait of Magellan the Pensacola encountered a severe gale in which the ship lost three men and two boats. The storm lasted seventeen days and delayed them in reaching the west coast of Chile. The Pensacola's provisions ran low, and the crew for the first time knew what real hunger was. They cast anchor, prayed—a very strange thing for the sailors to do—and waited for the day. While lying in port at Valparaiso the Pensacola was fired upon by the Chileans. Mr. Eagan, the American consul was appalled to by Admiral McCann for protection. Mr. Whiting was then a signal boy on the Pensacola, and it was the signal given by this black boy that assembled the crew for the onslaught in which several Americans were killed as well as Chileans. The United States had to pay an indemnity of $75,000 to Chile for loss of life and injury to her citizens. This was one of the most thrilling experiences our subject had during his career as a child of the sea. He speaks Spanish, French, Italian and Hawaiian and has circumnavigated the globe twice. Afro-Americans Who Are Making Good In Benfur, R. C., the postmaster, clerks, carriers and other employees are all Afro-Americans. They are honest and capable and render the government efficient service. Seven Afro-Americans are employed at the Greenville (Miss.) postoffice, with an aggregate annual salary of $0.300. Howard University's Official Force. The number of teachers and officers employed at Howard university in Washington is estimated at eighty-five. The aggregate amount of salary paid annually is placed at $59,223.60. Importance of the Literary Society. While there are numerous organizations for mutual benefit in a financial way among our people throughout the country, we should not underrate the importance of the literary or debating society. There should be two or three such organizations in every large city where our people form any considerable number of the population. Nothing is more helpful to the young men and women as the opportunity to develop their intellectual knowledge through the agency of the literary society. Captain Charles Young's Promotion. In promoting Captain Charles Young of the Ninth cavalry to the rank of major in the regular army the government bestows honor upon a worthy soldier who has proved his worth. As military attaché at Monrovia, Liberia, to which post he has been assigned, Major Young will have further opportunity to put into practice his rare knowledge and skill of military affairs SMOKE THE RELIABLE 5c SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR 5c Re oe ae ee NS Se OI Oe ee SO, Re Tage e (eee Sr ee a AN s Faris - Ss ps 3 4 » ieee GS Weak Seti a aie - EEE ats eee — PN RIT 5 ~ PLAS Ry Nags RRR a a oT SAE Be : - RA 7 ss 7 Ser. eee Iie CORA rrr seerersersy es Me MUA ee oe cies” : et Aaa i ree ey aes F Bie at INGE SL OLIS =p | he ca oe BS Es 4 a Ce eooemeg Yxg SrPau™ | oe : ACA AHwd.

Under her benlguaut Christian indu- ence the dove of domestic peace flutters In the sunshine of love, and the marrlage altar becomes as sacred as the oracles of God.

The Anthony Burns Incident Recalls Many Thrilling Stories. Rept. 22, 1912, was the fiftieth an- niversary of the signing of Lincoln's proclamation of freedom to the slave. ‘The event recalls one of a thousand or more incidents of the dark days when Dloodhounds, slave drivers, the slave pen and the auction block were the fashion. Anthony Burns, who was bought out of slavery by the abolitionists of Bos- ton and presented to himself, took the gift with many expressions of grati- tude and straightway went to Oberlin, ©, to educate bimself for the ministry. ‘Upon his arrival at Oberlin be, ebiid- lke, wrote back to Union to his old pastor for a letter of dismission from the church he so wickedly ran away from when he ran away from slavery. ‘The pastor, Rev. John Clark, made the following answer: “The Church of Christ at Union, Fanquler county, Va. “Whereas, Anthony Burns, a mem- ber of the church, bas made applica- tion to us by letter to our pastor for a letter of dismission in fellowship, in order that he may unite with another chureh of the same faith and order; and “Whereas, it has been satisfactorily established before ua that the sald Anthony Burns absconded from the service of his owner and refused to return voluntarily, thereby disobeying both the laws of God and man, al- though he subsequently obtained bis freedom by purchase, yet we have now to consider him only as a fugitive from. labor (as he was before bis ar- rest and restoration to his owner) and have therefore “Resolved unanimously that he be excommunicated from the communion and fellowship of the church of Jesus Christ.

The weekly Advocate was issued in St. Paul Oct. 11, This sheet has been circulated in the interest of Taft. It is published at Room 28 Unton Block, St. Paul, and is also called the Wisconsin Weekly Advo- cate. The Issuance of this publice- tion as a Taft organ is unfair to Editor Adams of the Appeal, who has been an ardent supporter of Tat during the entire administration. R. B, Montgomery—whose card. reads Editor—s passing the sheet. He is the Faltor of the Milwaukee Advocate when it appears, that’s not often. Their latest venture ts not only a violation of the corrupt practice act, which {s a blow to campaign publice- tlons, but an attempt to counteract the Progressive sentiment which has been spread broadcast by the readers of the Twin City Star. This Negro Montgomery has no prestige in Mil- ‘waukee or elsewhere, and he is unable to deliver the goods. We have his record, and have republished an article, which he demanded a retrac- tion of, but as The Twin City Star has been an appreciated publication of the people of the Twin Citles and 4s read all over the country, and we published the article as a warning +0 those who wish to patronize legal publications, and without any person- al intent, Montgomery gets no retrac- tion. Any Negro who under the guise of an Editor who will attempt ‘such practices, will be shown up by ‘The Star, and those who hope to aid the Taft-Eberhart campaign by this violation of the law are afratd to identify themselves with this little patent-back gossipmonger. The Star respects Mr. Adams and his publica- tion, and we have existed in harmony —and we are not afraid of any little immigrant, who tries to put one over, also the recognized Negro pub- Heation of Milwaukee is the Weekly Defender and its Editor is J. D. Cooke who 1s respected in the community. But just ask anybody in Milwaukee. ‘Who is Montgomery? and he {s very well known, so much that his pop- ularity 1s his misfortune as in this case. This latest hand bill does not ‘show the name of {ts Editor, Pub: Usher or Owner. Lay on! Montgomery, and damned if you won't cry enough. Editor Montgomery, who poses as the publisher of the Milwaukee Ad- vocate, issued at lengthy intervals, ts holding up the Committeemen of Taft, Wilson and Roosevelt—also inciden- tally any State and local candidates whom he may meet. Montgomery gets by on his nerve, and ts a credit to that class of crooks known as con- fidence men. He is a race Negro and at heart a Taft supporter. Sree bo IT NOW.

FOR CHARITY OR GRAFT—WHICH? We have noticed that lists request: ing funds to bury certain individuale who dled without burial funds are be- ing circulated in club houses and var- fous places—one by the Women's Club of Minneapolis. There is no necessity of any solicitation to bury the pauper dead of this city. Funds are appropriated for such purpose by the County authorities. Moreover any ‘one who does not keep up a small in- surance, 1s not entitled to any other consideration, We make no excep- tion. The ordinary man has enough friends to attend to his burial and the tramp needs none. Aside from this It is a question as to whether the money collected is used for this purpose. Last year the police had records of a series of house parties given to bury a relative, and after a long while in- terment was ordered. There has been many irregularities among charity. workers, that have aroused the sus picions of the business men, and we are told of numerous Instances where their charity had been misplaced. Let us remember that we should extend the hand of charity to those in need while they are alive—also that the person with the subscrition list {s often @ petty thief, who if he or sho had nerve would be “b»ld up” char- acters. A real Charity Club fs a necessity, and we thought that one existed in this city, 18 THERE ONE? “Wherever any race or group of peo- ple learn to do a common thing in an uncommon way, by putting brain, ekill and conscience into labor, that race or group of people is likely to solve all the problems that surround them.”—Dr. Washington.

Had I the power of word painting possessed by Bryant, Longfellow or Whittier, coupled-with the matchless eloquence of Webster, I could not ‘satisfy myself upon this occasion. ‘This man was most providently sta- tloned in this part of the country. It was indeed a godsend that a per- son of the moral, and intellectual worth of Fred. L. McGhee was locate in Minnesota, ‘Fred. McGhee”—how common is that name, yet how fa. miliar, and yet how great! Many of us have no impression of the real standing, of the importance of this man to the Negro race in America. 1 say—and I speak advisedly,—that there 1s not another man of the Negro race that really stands higher or stands for more than our dead chief tain, He was a race man in all thal the term implies. Broadminded courageous, and fearless. As at the dar of Justice, so was he at that cour of last resort, the bar of public opin fon, For us he set an example. To day in New York, in Texas, in Mis sourl, in Kansas, in Kentucky, and wherever there 1s a black face, thelr heads are bowed in grief over thc loss of this man. Little indeed dc the people of this community ap preciate what he has done for you i this city by way of protecting yor against unlawful discrimination, We feel bis loss, God knows. There wil always be a certain vold a certalt vacuum that cannot be filled. know of nothing that would inspire 1 Uttle Negro boy more than to hold w before his face the picture of Fre¢ ‘McGhee. ~ May I say in conclusion “Goo Night, sweet prince, and may th angels guide thee to thy rest.” In the present political campaign our people are to be found in the ranks of all parties. Independence in votiug is the trend of the age among the body polf- tie in America, Strict party lines are ‘no longer followed.

Paul, Oct,"14—"My opponents say that I preach discontent and class hatred. I preach discontent with what ts wrong; I preach hatred of just one class—the class of crooks,” declared Colonel Roosevelt st Duluth last Thursday. The Progressive candidate had come to Minnesota for his final word {n the state before election and he was greeted by enthusiastic crowds that overflowed the city’s two large auditoriums and filled nearby streets. Roosevelt was told that Northern Min- nesota is overwhelmingly progressive. Colonel Roosevelt accepted what he. termed Woodrow Wilson's “invitation te controversy” and demanded that the Democratic candidate either back up his recent statement that the steel trust was supporting the Progressive nominee or retract the statement. “If I make an assertion about any- body Til back it up, and if anybody makes an assertion about me he'll back it up or take it back,” was the way the Colonel accepted the chal lenge after saying that, lacking proof, the Democratic candidate had ex- plained his statement by saying: “What I meant was they are sup- porting him with thelr thought.” Quoting from Wall street news agency to the effect that Roosevelt would be lucky if he got the votes of three of the twenty-three directors of the Steel corporation, Colonel Roose- velt said this was an authoritative statement, “although if I got three votes it will be exactly three times as many as I expect. Mr, Wilson's state ment that the steel trust men are sup porting me, even in their ‘thought, 1s simply not in accordance with the facts.” Governor Wilson's declarations, made before he became a candidate for office, that the Chinese were “more to be desired as workers if not as cit- {zens than most of the coarse crew ‘that came crowding im every year at the Eastern ports,” and “our own tem: erate blood, schooled to self-posses sion and to the measured conduct of self-government, {8 receiving com stant confusion, and yearly expert encing a partial corruption of foreign Blood,” were quoted at length. ‘After giving Governor Wilson's re cent explanation that he meant pauper labor and undesirables from Italy, Colonel Roosevelt said it would have deen more manly for Mr. Wilson tc have announced that he still held the same views or that he had abandoned them. | _ “Tam reluctantly obliged to say that | tt Is quite impossible to reconcile the two explanations Mr. Wilson give with the facts, Neither in his maga sine article nor in his history did he make an allusion to pauper contrac labor nor to the lawless element.” Colonel Roosevelt urged support o the Progressive state ticket and prom feed that if any man elected faile t keep his campaign promises he wil be hunted out of public life, Enthu siasm reached {ts highest point wit the following declaration: “It the Progressives come tnt power we will smash both old part machines to splinters.” terete Governor McGovern of Wisconetr who came out square-toed for Roose velt after securing renomination as | | Republican, told @ Milwaukee aud! ence the other day that “men 0 longer are Republicans and Democrat fo much as they are progressives 0 reactionaries; that long ago the sp cfal interests became bi-partisan an the people now are fast learning th game.” ee eee The Progressive campaign in Mi nesota, as in many other states, | Deing financed in large part by contr ,| butions from the people.

Taft, who has sustained the Dred Scott decision by refusing to ap point Negroes to offices wherever ‘was objectionable to white men, an¢ ‘who by the appointment of Southern Confederates to the Supreme Bench has denied the Negroes thelr Con stitutional Rights.
