M'LAURIN rs DENOUNCED
AS A TRAITOR.
Tillman Exceedingly Fierce in
Attacking His Riva1--ShadOw

Columbia, S. c., August 9.-Ez
This was the last day of the big
political rally at Union, and the
heavy artillery vas reserved for
the final attack upon commercial
Democracy" 1t was vehemently
urged that McLaurin's rule would
be worse than negro domination.
Senator TilImsn aad former Gov
ernor John Gary Evans, who was
defeated by McLaurin for the
Senate, made the most sensational
| speeches. Evans added that Me-
| Lsurin has Mark Hanna's money
jingling in his pockets, and he
ought to be hanged. He Insisted
that another traitor should not be
put into McLaurin's shoes.
Congressman Talbot who came
into prominence in Congress by
blocking private pension claims,
is a candidate for governor. He
announces himself as opposed to
using the white mans money for
the education Of the negro.
Former Congressman George
johnson denounced McLaurinism.
The real danger in this split he
said, was the negro becoming the
balance Of power and debauch~
ing the white vote. he pointed
out that the present franchise law
was but a ~makeshift, and the ed
ucated negro would soon be as
sorting himself.
Senator Tillman was fierce
against McLaurin and McLaurine
ism. He pressed the point about
the danger of negro votes. He,
who had framed the disfranchise-
ment clause in the constitution,
admitted that under the property

inspiration which makes minor work elo-

illustration is offered in the group of early

THE LEHMAN CASE.
A More Serious Charge Preferred
Against the Unnatural Father.

A More Serious Charge Preferred
Against the Unnatural Father.
The charge of incest against Au-
gust Lehman was dismissed at the
instance Of County Attorney Oliver
yesterday afternoon and the more ser.
ious charge of rape, upon the person
of his 15-year-old daughter Minnie.
substituted upon information filed by
John E. White.
The defendant. whose true name is
Karl Augustus Lehman, was brought
into Judge McArthur's court shortly
before two o'clock by Deputy Sheriff
O'Neil and during the brief court pro.
ceedings seemed to take no especial
interest in the affair.
When the formality connected with
the substitution of the new charge
had been finished Mr.. Noffsinger, the
defendants attorney. requested at
least "a hours delay in which to go over
the grounds of the new charge. sug.
gesting that in the mean time the
state could call any witnesses they
might have. County Attorney Oliver,
however. requested continuance of
ten days. during which time he hoped
to have the case ready for trial. Judge
Macarthur, after listening to both
sides granted the continuance and
fixed the preliminary examination for
Friday, March 20. and Lehman's bail
was again fixed at $1,000. which he
was unable to furnish and was re-
committed to the county Jail.
The charge against Lehman is one
of the most serious which can be
brought under the Montana criminal
laws. The minimum sentence is five
years confinement in the states pris-
on, and may be made life.
Mr.. White, who filed the information
which led to Lehman's arrest said
that for over year he had thought
that everything in the Lehman family
was not what it should be, but that
during the lifetime of Mrs Lehman
ne had thought she should have made
complaint if any must be made. The
letter which was sent him and sigA.
ed by the two girls, telling of their
fathers criminal actions toward them
had decided him. and as q conse-
Quence he had taken the initiative.
The five Lehman children are still
in the county asylum under the care
of William Penny. where they will re.
main until the case against their faith
er is disposed Of.
