(From the New Orleans Times-DemocrAt)
The campaign is young yet, and the Repub-
licans may arouse some interest and enthusiasm
i'm their cause but it is quite evident that their
most ardent leaders recognize that the outlook IS
lnnromising and that energetic Efforts are needed
to stir up the party ana put some life and en-
ergy into it. 1t seems almost incredible that 4
party which represents the trusts and million
aires should find difficulty in raising funds for its
campaign: and yet there can be no question but
that it IS meeting with considerable difficulty
even in this matter. and it will require all the
recognized ability Of Hanna and all hls pro

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 2f.-Much excite
ment was created here among the colored
people by statement IN which T. Thomas
Fortune is quoted as having said that he
knew of a certainty that the negroes who
started the New York riots were driven
from New Orleans and the South. This Is
denied emphaticaily by the negroes here.

that every man. white or black, against
whom there was any evidence, would be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law for
participation in what he regarded as a
monumental crime.

Tnc silence of Mr. Reed.

Orftm tAe bUst"H N4une-l
The silence of Thomas B. Reed is causing
great anxiety in the Republican ranks. Mr..
Reed would only sign contract not to speak
at all it would be great relief. but the fact that
the fuse is ready to be lighted upon some IN
expected occasion and shoot off the greatest gun
of the campaign where it may not do the most
good is inexpTessibly annoying.
Mr. Reed has been known for some time net
to fully endorse the policy Of The Administrator.
and it is well known that he is a man who
not only thoroughly believes what he says, but
does not always stand on the order of his say
ing it.
Perhaps Reed in his silence may prove mightier
than the thunders OF Roosevelt or the cunning OF

CoIored Delegation Protests to Act

NEW YORK. Aug. IA delegation
from the United Colored Democracy called
on Acting Mayor Guggenheimer today to
protest against the course OF the police
in the recent disturbances between the
whites and negroes in this city. The DEL

headed by Edward z. Lee
There was no race riot" said Mr.. Lee
The negroes were attacked and instead
OF receiving protection from the police,
they were brutally treated by them The
police paid no attention to white men, but
appeared to be glad of the opportunity
to club negroes"
Mr.. Guggenheimer admitted that the
matter was a serious one, but said that
he doubted his power to act and that 1t

Kentucky All RfShf.-Representa tive
Charles X Wheeler, OF the First Ken
lucky district. was in Washington a few
hours yesterday, and called at the head
quarters OF the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee to congratulate
Chairman Richardson and Secretary Kerr
on the outlook. Il believe we are all right
in Kentucky" Mr. Wheeler told a Times
reporter. As rule. the anti-Goebel, or
Brown, Democrats are fusing with the Re-
publicans. but l feel that We snail be able
to overcome this combination all around.
Bryan and Stevenson viii carry the State.
OF course by an old-tlme majority. and
our State ticket will pull through safely.
We will not only hold our own in the Con.
gressional districts. but l think we will
gain one and maybe TWO districts in No
vember. When the Republicans talk about
carrying Kentucky they base their hopes
upon the narrow margin between Goebel
and Taylor. They overlook the important
fact that in that contest the vote was not
brought out in the heavy Democratic sec
tons Of the State. Take my district. for
example. Not much more than half of
the Democratic vote there was cast last
year, whereas it will come out in full force
in November. thus guaranteeing In that
one district alone ct least five thousand
more votes for the party than were cast
last year. With a reserve vote this big to
fall back on. don't see how it is possible
for us to lose Kentucky this year"

They were dressed i'm citizens clothes
and were sent out by Deputy Sheriff
Chillingworth in response to an urgent
call from the Deputy Sheriff OF Waia-

certain stores which were alleged to be
selling spirituous liquors without a
license.
The officers started upon their cru
sade Saturday night. They first visit
ed the store OF All Chez, a well-known
Chinese merchant, where they found a
quantity of liquor and seized the same.
In their search they stumbled upon
some opium hidden away and thus
have two charges to prefer. At Wong
Hos place liquor was found. Both
proprietors were placed under arrest.
All Chez has q Federal license. The
two officers will return to the city this
afternoon. When the cases are ready
for trial Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth
will proceed to Walalua to prosecute
the two offenders. All Chez has been

selling liquor without a license and
each time has been acquitted.
