Rep. Chandler, of the 500, Gets
Into the Race.


Into the Race.
The Sault Ste. Marie News Record
of Wednesday announced the with
drawal Of Senator o. b. Fuller, I
Escanaba, from the race for nomin-
alton for lieutenant governor, and
announces the candidacy of Rep.
VIM. Chandler, of Sault Ste. Marie,
for second place on the state ticket.
The announcement is made with
the full knowledge and consent OF
both gentlemen. Mr.. Fuller has
never been a candidate in the full
sense of the word His friends have
been using his name, and the mat
ter has drifted along until he real
lied that he should declare himself.
He has determined that he prefers
denomination to the senate.
Sometime ago Mr.. Chandler an
nounced himself candidate to sue
coed Mr.. Fuller, with the UNDER
standing that the latter was to go
after second place. When he
learned a few days ago that Mr..
Fuller was not candidate he con-
suited his friends in all parts Of the
state and was assured of support.
The copper country is said to be
favorable to his candidacy, and it is
generally conceded that the nomin-
alton will come to the upper PENN
sula, as it is the only place the Re.
publicans here will ask for on the
ticket.
! Chandler has served two terms in
the house, is well versed in legis
lative procedure and parliamentary
practice and has a wide acquaint
aHcc throughout the state.

Details were received at Hazlehurst,
Miss, Monday of one of the most hor-
rlble tragedies that ever occurred in
that section Of Mississippi.
Louis Westrope, a well-to-do and
well-known farmer living near the lit
tie village of Brandywine, 80 miles
southwest Of Hazlehurst in the edge OF
Claiborne county, was attending SER
vices at a heighboring ehurch Sunday
with his grown daughter:
While there; in the middle 6f the
service; a iiessehgef hastehed into the
church aid told him that ali Of his it,
tic children, six iii lumber, had been
murdered, his hoine ii Smoke and
ashes; and his wife goie, Or also muir
dered, ana her body probably eonsum-
ed by the hre which hal destroyed his
home:
Armihg themselves with shotguns
and repeating rifles aid procuring
dogs: the male congregation hurried
to the sceie Of the awful catastfobhe.
six Dead Bodies Found:
Upon atrivei at the Burned home i've
dead children were found. scattered
around the premises with Bullet holes
in the head of each child Among the
ashes of the ruins were found the char
red bones of the infant. Diligent
search failed to locate the body Of the
mother: ottside Of the yard was found
a bloody apron and tracks leading to-
ward ! swamp.
The evidence soon convince the
spectators that Mrs. Westrope had
committed the terrible deed. Search
was Immediately instituted for her,
and she was finally located Monday af-
ternoon in country grave yard, where
she had spent the night.
When she saw the searching party
she placed the same rife with which
she had the day before wrought the de"
structlon. of her own children to her
heart and pulled the trigger, the bull
let passing one inch below the heart
seriously, but hot necessarily fatally,
wounding her.
The woman cohversed intelligently
and said she did not know how she
CAME to be In the grave yard Or what
she had done the day before
Those who knew her and her fam
lily believe that she committed the
crime while mentally deranged.

Major Wallace explicitly denies the in:

Secretary Moody's attention was called
to the interview and he sharply con-
'demned it. The president also object

M. C. Galluchat; of Befkley; who re-
Gently annhoutnced that lie Would maks
the race for congress from the
Charleston district, came out III d card
a day or two ago in which he said
he would not run. This leaves the
race opeh for Thomas W. Baeot and
George S. Legare, both OF whom are
members ot the Charleston bar.
From present indications the cam
patgn will be bitterly fought: The with
drawal Of Mr.. Galluchat changes the
situation materially, inasmuch as the
two Charleston candidates will have
al equal chance at the country vote.
There are indications that the labor
question will enter strongly in the
county campaign At the last meeting
of the executive committee it was de-
cided to leave candidates for master
and magistrate cut of the primary.
making these Offices subject to the ap-
pointment of the governor. The labor
organizations are protesting and
while nothing definite has developed,
there are Indications that the labor
vote will show fight:
