One hundred persons in st. Bouis-pos-

IS safe to say that these one hundred per-

and. finally. excitement. Unless some Of
them have received later Information from
San Diego. they are still wondering.
To begin at the beginning. the Morris
family, very well known five or six years
ago when they lived in a handsomely

were rather lost track Of by their friends

GORMAN COMES AGAIN.
MARYLAND Senator Has More to Say
Regarding Presidents Policy
Anent the Race Issue.

At a democratic mass meeting Eeid
in Baltimore Friday night at the close
OF the campaign, speeches were made
bv Edwin Harfela, the candidate Tor
governor, and a number OF leading
democrats, including United States
Senator A. P. German. AN immense
crowd was present.
Senator German took occasion to
again denounce the policy OF President
Roosevelt regarding the race issue.
He said in part:
The Anglo-Saxon has never, and
will never. tolerate the social equality
CT the political domination Of the ne
gro race. The south has passed
through scenes of turbulence and dis
order and rape and riot. BY amend
ments to state constitutions and BY
legislation the whites have secured
control, for time being, of their own
local governments, and the colored
race IS no longer a political factor in
any state south of the Potomac.
For more than thirty years this
question has aroused sectional feeling
and divided parties. It has threaten
ed the peace Of the states, put in jeop
ardy homes and paralyzed industrial
efforts. Ali thoughtful men realize
that this canker upon the body polite
must be eliminated and the supremacy
of the white government assured.
while President Mckinley kept his
party obligations as fully as any man
he ceased making partisan war upon
the people of the south. But thai
people removed, at least temporarily
the incubus that oppressed them. The
action of the states was sustained b'
the courts and confidence was re
stored. The old and young men OF the
south took on new life. Development
and progress resulted beth north anc
south, until the stream OF prosperity
and enterprise was flowing from one
end of the land TO the other"

that on Friday afternoon the Wen|z

He was admitted, when he told DR.

who was then in handouts in the Cum

DR.. Wentz, it is said. told the stran'

him a letter from his son as an eri'
dence that he was alive, and that then
his proposition would be considered.
