Fatalities Among Presidents

The Republican party, in its As years
of existence, elected just six Presi-
dents-Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield,
Harrison and Mckinley. Just half of
these-Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley
were assassinated.
The Wing party was in existence
Just 20 years. or from 1884 to 1854, and
it elected two Presidents-William
Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor
in that time. Both died in office. Har-
rison served only a month, while Tay-
lor was in office a year and a third.
The Democratic party has been in
existence far longer than the Wing and
the Republican party in combination,
and 1t has never lost a President. The
Democratic party was born in 1871,
in the contest between Hamilton and
Jefferson both members of Washing
toms cabinet at the time, on the ques-
ton of the establishment of a United
States bank. Hamilton, the secretary
of the treasury, proposed the bank,
while Jefferson opposed it, but the
bank bill was signed by Washington.
For 40 years the Democratic party
(called the Republican party by Jeffer-
son, but known as the Democratic par
ty ever since Jackson's days. has been
in existence In the United States. For
about half of that time it was the dom
inant party. 1t elected nine Presidents
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson,
Van Buren,, Polk, Pierce, Buchanan
and Cleveland. 1t elected five of these
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson
and Cleveland-for two terms each.
Yet not one of these died in Office

LEADERS OF EACH PARTY
REITERATE THEIR CLAIM

Philadelphia, Nov 4.-The leaders of
both the Republican and fusion parties
tonight reiterate their claim that their
respective candidates will carry the
state. Chairman Beeder of the Repub-
lican party said tonight that late ad-
vices received from western and north
western counties led him to increase
his former estimate He now says
Harris and Potter, the Republican can
didates respectively for state treasurer
and Supreme Court justice will have
nearer 10000 than 100000 majority.
Chairman Greasy of the Democratic
State Committee declined to give fig
ures, but confidently predicted the cleo
ton of Coray and Yerkes, the fusion
candidates for state treasurer and JUS
tice of the Supreme Court. He said:
Il can conscientiously say that Coray
and Yerkes will be elected Two-thirds
of the counties of the state will give
majorities for them"
Chairman Ritter, of the Union party,
also claims that Coray and Yerkes will
be victorious He said they will come
to Philadelphia with at least $4,000 ma
jority, and that Philadelphia may even
give a majority for the fusion candi-
dates.
Chairman Mills, of the Philadelphia
Republican committee, claims a ma
iority of over 600 for the Republican
state ticket, and the same figures for
Weaver, regular Republican candidate
for district attorney.

RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP
TO BE EXERCISED TODAY

This is election day, and it is the
duty of every voter to go to the polls
and mark his ballot for the candidates
of his choice.
Republicans generally are working to
get out as big a vote as possible, and in
the wards where contests are in evil
dence no effort viii be spared to secure
every vote. Thousands Of political cir
culars have been mailed during the
past few days by the force of clerks at
Republican Headquarters, and the nee
essity of every vote counting has been
indelibly impressed.
The checklist men and workers Of
the Republican force reported at head
quarters last night and were given in
structions for the work today. Car
rage men and hack drivers have been
ordered to report at headquarters at
6.45 o'clock.
Ballot boxes and other election day
paraphernalia were fixed up at the city
clerks office yesterday afternoon and at
o'clock this morning everything was
In readiness to record the votes of an
other election day.
arrangements have been made for
receiving returns at Republican Head
quarters tonight and the usual crowd
will gather to talk it over and figure

Wife of a Prominent Mississippi
Country Resident Beaten Into
InsensibiIity and Then Grimm
ally Assaulted
POSSE ORGANIZED AND
THE NEGRO CAPTURED
After Being Identified An Inform
al Court Was Organized on the
Spot and the Trial Resulted in
a Decision to Burn the Negro
at the Stake

Gulfport, Miss, Nov A negro,
whose name has not yet been ascer-
tanned, was burned at the stake in Per-
ry County. Miss, Saturday night. The
crime for which the negro was burned
was committed early Saturday MORN
ing. Mrs. Fortenberry. the wife of
prominent country resident, was the
victim. She was attacked, beaten into
insensibility, and eriminally assaulted
by the negro.
After recovering consciousness, and
while yet almost too weak TO move she
began crying for help. Within a short
time assistance reached her, and she
told the story Of the crime The negro
was described, a posse was organized,
and a search was began for him.
A negro answering the description
given by Mrs Fortenberry was
caught and carried back to the home
and there positively identified by the
victim. At first he denied the deed,
but soon made a full confession.
An informal court was organized by
the members of the posse. and the trial
resulted in a decision to burn the ne
gro. He was carried from the house to
the scene of his crime and there burned
at the stake.

Great Interest Taken in the EIeC-
ton as Legislature to Be
Chosen viii Elect a Successor
to United States Senator For
aker
FORAKER A CANDIDATE
FOR REELECTION
1t Is Already Whispered That
Chairman Dick of the RepubIi-
can State Committee viii Be
Candidate for Governor Two
Years Hence

Columbus, O., Nov. 4-The state off,
GERS and members of the Legislature
will be elected in Ohio tomorrow. There
is perhaps greater interest in the result
of the legislative contests than in the
gubernatorial election, from the fact
that the Legislature to be chosen to-
morrow will elect a successor to- United
States Senator Foraker.
Advices from different parts of the
state tonight indicate great interest in
doubtful counties for members of the
Legislature There are no hold-over
members, all members of both branches
being chosen every two years; During
the campaign Senator Foraker, who is
candidate for reelection, and Senator
Hanna have appeared repeatedly on
the same platform and co-eperated with
Chairman Dick for both the state and
the legislative tickets.
The state administration has always
been a potent factor in senatorial con-
tests in Ohio. 1t is conceded that the
late John Sherman would have been
defeated by Foraker in the former
last contest for the senatorship, but
for the assistance of William McKin-
ley, who was then governor. In like
manner, Glow. Hoadley supported Sen
ator Payne, Gov. Campbell supported
Senator Brice and Gov. Bushnell sup
ported Senator Foraker.
When Gov. Bushnell, during his sec
ond term, opposed Marcus A Hanna
for senator, the success of the latter by
one vote was an exception to the rule,
and it was said the influence of the
national administration then overcame
the state administration. If elected to-
morrow, Gov. Nash will be in power
several months after the election at
which members of the legislature are
elected to choose a successor to Sena-
tor Hanna 1t is reported that Con-
gresham Dick, who has been chairman
of the state committee for years is
likely to be the Republican candidate
for governor two years hence.
The vote tomorrow will be compared
with that for governor two years ago,
when 100000 votes were cast. Gov.
Nash, Republican, then had a plurality
| of $4,000 over John r. Mclean, Demo-
crat. Two years ago $780, 900 votes were
cast for Mayor Samuel M. Jones of To-
ledo non-partisan candidate, and $4,000
votes for other minor candidates.
The Jones vote of 1899 will materially
effect the comparisons, especially in
Cleveland and Toledo, as Jones then
carried both Cuyahoga and Lucas
Counties. In 1899 there were 31O9 pre-
cincts in the state. This year there are
1924 precincts.
Both sides tonight repeat their pre-
vious claims. The betting is at var
ious odds on the Republicans and most
ly on the size of the plurality. The most
spirited betting is on the legislative re-
suits in Cuyahoga, Franklin and other
doubtful counties. Cold weather contin-
ues throughout the state.

Sampson as a Lecturer

Graduates of the Naval Academy Of
the year 1878 cannot fail to recall with
pleasure a course of lectures delivered
in the department of physics during
the Junior year. The lecturer never
failed to impress his students as he
stood quietly behind long wooden
desk covered with apparatus set up
for experimental demonstration. HIS
speech came slowly, expressing in the
fewest possible words the ideas and
facts that he wished to place before his
audience. His sentences were models
of clearness and accuracy; but what 1
have since come to regard as marvel
GUS was the uniform success of his ex-
periments. 1 do not recall a single
failure. He never had to apologize for
the behavior of the electric current or
to lay blame on the atmosphere. Ey-
erything did precisely what he said it
was going TO do.-Ira N. Hollis in The
Worlds Work.

desert him need have no fear of
eternal death.
This is Christs point of view of the
future in the two worlds-this and the
next. He says: This is the judgment,
that light is come into the world-light
on duty, not on destiny aside from
duty. Destiny is the result of duty,
done or undone; destiny that begins
and proceeds with every serious choice.
Things do not fall out finally except as
they are, and as they are made by our
own choosing What then is our flu
ture? Look around and within.
But will not the future farther on
give better opportunities? Let us re-
member that as we are made, the
earlier opportunities are always in so
far the best Early choices are easiest
and most lasting. Future years do not
give better, but poorer chances for the
soul. If the next world is not organized
on the broad laws familiar to us here,
we can argue nothing about it. If it
is, then we can say with authority that
delayed choices Of right, and good, and
purity and love of God can never be
better, that they must be worse: that
today is the best opportunity we shall
ever have and, used wrongly, may be
our last.

SAYS GOVERNOR CRANES
PLURALITY WILL BE $4,000

Springfield, Nov 4-Col. A. H Goetting,
chairman of the Republican state com
mittee said tonight: I'VE shall be salts
fed if Gov. Crane receives a plurality of
$1,000. The difficulty will be in getting the
vote out, and until the vote is brought
out the plurality cannot be very large In
one sense there is no pressing need of
every Republican casting his ballot for
Gov. Crane but nevertheless every Re
publican should consider it a matter of
duty to come out and vote for him as an
Endorsement and slight reward for his
splendid administration.

the arrest of the man responsible for
the wound in Glynn's body. The victim

ton no one as guilty of the shooting.

Louisville, KY, Nov. At appears
tonight that the special feature of the
election in Louisville tomorrow, when
mayor and full city and county and
legislative tickets will be voted for, will
be the attempt of the Republicans to
challenge Democratic voters whom they
suspect of being illegally registered.
The Republican managers will have
men at the polls in each precinct with
list of names of persons whom the
Republicans allege are Illegally reg
istered. They declare they will chal-
lenge the vote Of any person on the list
who offers to vote.
The Republican managers sent circu-
lar letters through the mails to the
persons in question and they aver a
large number were returned by the let
ter carriers with the endorsement that
| the persons to whom the letters were
addressed were not to be found at the
address given, and as these addresses
were the addresses from which the per-
sons in question had registered, the Re
publicans regard the non-delivery of
the letters as presumption OF illegal
| registration.
They threaten that If such persons
| try to vote they will be arrested. The
Democrats deny all charges of illegal
registration and charge the Republic
cans with attempted intimidation. They
deny that any of the voters on the Re-

rested for offering to vote and say any
challenged voter can by affidavit es-
