TO DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
Form Democratic Campaign Clubs-An
Address From Chairman winston OF
the State Association of Clubs |
(special to the Messenger.l

Especial to the MesSenger.)
Raleigh, n. c., October l-Francis d.
Winston. chairman Of the state asso-
citation of democratic clubs. which was
formed here September 18th, tonight
issued an address in which he says:
The organization in its working force
has representatives in all parts OF the
state. The object is TO assist in giving
Bryan and Stevenson the electoral vote
Of North Carolina and TO help elect nine
democratic congressman
Ito this end ali patriotic citizens are
cordially invited to cooperate. The
platform and principles of the associa-
ton are found in the platform of the
democratic party promulgated at Kan
saS City. The clubs a no candidates
than those named by the demo-
is organized for effective campaign
work. "a
The executive committee OF the as
ISOLATION directs that an urgent appeal
be made to the various county and
township executive committees to pro-
coed at once to organize clubs in each
township in the state. White suprema-
cy clubs organized in the late cam
paign can be easily organized into party
clubs. To this end, it is urged that va
rious county chairmen will at once
proceed to appoint suitable organizers
in their counties, who will enter &C
lively into the work.
1T is recommended that sub-eiectors
of each county be appointed when
practicable. Most efficient aid can also
be had of late club organizers.
County chairmen are requested to
call a meeting in each township in the
various counties October 18th for or
ganizing clubs.
1T is also urged hat at each speak
ing by candidates or other democrats
clubs be formed. Do not let the oppor-
tunity pass to organize.
These clubs are part of party ma
chinery and are subject to party au-
thority. Two main purposes Tor which
they are to be formed are to distribute
literature and to bring out the full
vote. 1t is presumed hat the last cam
paign secured full registration.
LAS soon as a club is formed send the
names of the officers TO F. NJ. Simmons
chairman, Raleigh, N. c.. Also send
hist to Max Ihmsen, national secre-
tary, New York city. Let each club
appoint an active committee to secure
the attendance Of voters at the polls.
A full vote will give the democratic
party 1000 majority.
The issues involved are momentous,
vital and far reaching. Our free insti-
tutions are endangered by the colonial
policy abroad and by aggregations Of
wealth at home. Let North CAROLYN
ians make a firm stand against both.
"The state association adopted as it's
emblem a button containing the picture
of William Jennings Bryan, upon a
field of silver, encircled by these burn
ing words from his great speech of &C
ceptance, The Man Rather Than the
Dollar" In this sentence is contained
the true history of government"

A Chicago Murder Mystery

Chicago, October IA sNver tooth
plate. 10 which two false incisors of
the upper jaw were wired, is the only
clew to h identity of a severed hu-
man head that was found tie in a
grain sack in Cedar Lake, just across
the Indiana state line. Identification
of the victim of the supposed murder
by means of the head is absolutely i'm
possible, so far as recognizing the feat
ures are concerned, because the head
was packed in quick lime before thrown
into the lake, and the features were
destroyed by the action of the chemi-

Go not want to talk about h strike.
I do not think that it should be mixed
up in party or political questions and

is the duty of every man to do his ut
most to end the deploIable trouble.

AMERICAS DEFEAT BY FILIPINOS
Capture of the Martinique EXpedi-
tiOn-Captafn Shields and Others
KilIed-Strict Censorship

Manila, Friday, September %, via
Hong Kong, October 1.-Persistent ma
tive reports, which are generally be-
lieVed, have been current in Manila
for several days, to the effect that
Captain Devereux Shields and Com
pany F, of the Twenty-ninth regiment
Of infantry, consisting of fifty-four
men stationed at Boag, Martinique,
island. embarked September 18th on
the gunboat Villabos and Ianded on
the Martinique September 14th where
300 of the enemy armed with rifles,
supposedly from Iuzon, surprised the
Americans. The latter fought for sew
eral hours until their ammunition was
exhausted, after which they were over
powered and surrendered, relief being
impossible. Four of the soldiers We're
killed, among whom, according TO re-
ports, was Captain Shields. The Amer
leans also had severed wounded.
Lieutenants Reeves and Bates, of
the staff on board the gunboat York
town, left Manila Monday. After gath
ering troops they proceeded to Marin
duque to verify the reports regarding
the fate of Captain Shields and his
men, and, an case the native rumors
are we'll founded, to punish the rebels
and release the captives. News from
tnlS Is dWalted with ON
anxiety at Manila. In the meanwhile
the Isl prohibits the transmission
of news concerning the affair.
Colonel Edward E. Hardin, of the
Twenty-ninth regiment, now in Ma
Mia, admits it is possible that the
native reports may be correct.
The first news OF the disaster to
Company F, of the Twenty-ninth reg
iment, was received by the Associated
Press from Washington, September
2Sth, the censor at Manila, az shown
in the dispatch of the Associated Press
from that city having refused to per-
NIT the Transmission of the news by
cable direct TO h Associated Press.
Consequently the correspondent of the
Associated Press was evidently COM
PEELED to send his message by mail to
Hong Kong, from which point it was
cabled to the Associated Press here.

MONUMENT TO A DOG.
In Memory of Barry. Rescusr of Forty

In Memory of Barry. Rescuer of Forty
Considerable human interest Is be-
ing found by the Italian press in the
ceremonies that recently attended the
erection of a monument on the Noun
lain OF St. Bernard, to the memory OF
h famous dog belonging to the convent
there. Barry was the dogs name. and
in ten years he saved the lives of for
ty persons who had lost their way on
the glaciers of Mount st. Bernard.
What Is considered his most remark
able achievement was performed about
three years ago, when he found child
ten years old lying in the snow under
the influence of the fatal slumber
which precedes death. Barry, with
curious comprehension of the needs of
the situation, first warmed the child
with his breath, and then aroused 1t
from sleep by licking its face. This
much accomplished, Barry, by lying
down by its side, gave the child an
obvious invitation to get on and ride.
The child did so and was carried by
Barry to the convent. This episode,
like his other achievements, is rec
orded at the convent, and to the truth
of its circumstances several witnesses
have subscribed. The death Of the
dog was due to the timidity or ras-
cality of some unknown man who per-
haps fancied that Barry was ap-
preaching him with evil intent. The
stranger killed the dog by hitting 1t
on the head. These two events in the
career OF the useful animal are COM
memorated on the monument. which
represents in has relief the st. Der,
nard carrying child on its back.

scription: Berry, the Heroic. Saved

Killed by the Forty-first." New York
