Washington's Eighth legislature ev-

TO SEEK VOTES IN AUTO
Herrick to Pursue Tom IohnsOn's Red

Cleveland, o., Aug. 9.-Colonel Myron
I. Herrick closed deal for the purchase
of heavy touring automobile yesterday.
The car is the same same style as that used
by mayor Johnson in his famous "red dew
il'' campaign over the State last Fall. The
Republican gubernational candidate is
planning to 60 after Mayor johnson, "red
devil" and all.
If Colonel Herrick carries out present
plans to stump the State in an automobile
the most spectacular campaign in the his.
tory of the country will be on. The citci-
zens of Ohio will have the unprecedented
opportunity of seeing two gubernatoral
candidates chasing each other in snorting
machines capable Of going from thirty to
forty miles an hour.
Last Fall it was suggested several times
that it might be good idea to hustle some
of the Republican spellbinders about the
State in autos, but the Republican Mana
gers vetoed the proposition on the ground
that they would allow Mr.. Johnson tC
monopolize all the circus features.

in such case to the individual is one for
which there is no remedy.
But even when the real criminal ID reach
ed, the wrong done by the mob TO the
community itself is well nigh as great
Especially is this true where the lynching
is accompanied with torture. There are
cel tain hideous sights which when once
seen can never be wholly erased from the
mental retina. The mere fact of having
seen them implies degradation. This is a
thousandfofd stronger when instead OF
merely seeing the deed the man has partlc-
ipated in it.
Whoever in any part of the country has
ever taken part in lawlessly putting to
death criminal by the dreadful torture OF
fire must forever after have the awful
spectacle of his own handwork scared into
his brain and SOUL He can never be the
same man.
This matter of lynching would be a ter
rible thing even if it stopped with the
lynching of men guilty of the inhuman
and hideous crime Of rape: but as mat
ter of fact, lawltssness of this type never
does stop and never can st. p in such fash
ion. f Jery violent man in the communl'
ty is encouraged by every Gaze of lynchlng
in which the lynchers go unpublished to
himself take the law into his own hands
whenever it suits his own convenience. In
the same way the use Of torture by the
mob in certain cases is sure to spread until
it is applied more or less indiscrimidately
in other cases.
