"In the suprer > court there will be

which will present one OF the most
unique questions ever presented TO
any court before. The case is that OF
the state against Tom Pulpus, con-
yicted of murder in Chickasaw county
and his attorneys have appealed
against the Judgment of the lower
court, setting up among Others things,
that the jury in the case Of Pulpus
were influenced in making up their
verdict by a campaign speech made
by Mai. Vardaman on the day the
court was organized. The bill OF ex-
ceptions in setting up this grouno
for reversal of the judgment, recltes
that the speech Of Maj. Vardamar
aroused so much prejudice and race
antagonism in the minds of the Jurors d

REFERRING to the debate between
Hon. Champ Clark, Of Missouri, and
Senator J. P. Dolliver, Of Iowa, at
Mayesville, the Cameron Sun says:
Saturday, August 16, 1902, was a
great day for Missouri Democracy.
The Hon. Champ Clark, NisSouri's,
and, perhaps the nations, greatest
debator met the stalwart Mckinley
Roosevelt Republican, the Hon. iona.
than P. Dolliyer, Of Iowa, in joint de-
bate and set the Missouri audience OF
ten thousand people afire with enthu-
siasm. The debate had been widely
billed and drew from the four corners
OF the earth. DollIyer opened the de-
bate with speech with an hour and a
quarter and Clark had the same length
OF time in which TO reply. So far as
argument was concerned the quarter
Of an hour would have been sufficient
In which TO answer every point made
by the renowned Iowa Senator, but In
the following hour Mr.. Clark literally
annihllated the speech of Dolliver
from beginning TO end. 1t was bat
tic between giants, but the one was
handicapped by espousing an unnat-
ual condition OF affairs, while the
other stood face TO face with nature
and was backed upon every hand by
natural laws"
