will be the attitude of the negroes Of this state
What was their attitude during the occupancy OF
the Governors chair by Ames
It is warm today. am weary and feel that am
justified in taking by Bible or some other book and
retiring to a cool place in the shade, far enough
from the house be free from the noise and din Of
the plantation home. All that true, papa's baby
girl Just entering her teens, is welcome to join me
she will not disturb my quiet, but play near by
noiselessy.
The hours pass. What's that I stand erect and
listen. A piercing, though smothered cry has
brought me to my feet. Was it q shrek from pain
or merely from frightf step hastily in the direc-
ton the loved one was last remembered to have been
in play. Perhaps she has laid down and fallen
asleep, and is frightened in her dream to cry out.
A few minutes search about the shady dels near
the spring, and suddenly hear something like a
wild beast breaking through the underground. AS
the animal plunges through the brush, glimpse OF
him discloses that be is travelling erect two feet.
A burly, black wild faced beast, indeed. It dawns
quickly upon me what has happened, and I forget
the beast, and lunge head-leng through the shrub
berry to find the precious daughter, praying that l
have heightened the brute away In time. But,
alas there she lies MANNED and bruised. When I
reach her twtchng little FORM fall like one stunned
by mighty blow, and it is dark all about me
Draw the curtain over the two, father and dsugh-
ter.
But lying there dszed and faint from mental an
guish another scene rises up before me. can see
the grinning teeth, in all their hidiOus resemblance
of the BEAST Of Theodore Roosevelt President Of the
United States, not however by q single ELECTORAL
vote from Southern State, thank God. Yes, can
see more. Just behind Roosevelt see the present
Governor OF Mississippi, the apOlOgst for Roosevelt
the pardOner of q negro rapist. Hand in hand with
that dark faced governor, see another face, a
weak face to be sure, but subtle one. LOngino is
holding him by the hand, and saying to him: "You
shall be my successor ~
But there is g boom in the atmosphere, like the
roar Of mighty cOncourse Of people rising in their
indignation, and leading them see the form Of 3
majestic gallant, big hearted, strong minded never
hinching giant, whose long black hair is waving in
the sunshine. he calls aloud and clear "Arise !;
Mississippi is not in favor Of such debauchery It

will protect the innocent children, virtOus women

THE PICTURE IN REAL LIFE.

LACE a man in the Governors chair
at Jackson, who is either too weak
to stand up and defy any encroach-
ment upon the rights of the white
people in Mississippi, or who, for
political purposes, snivils at the be-
hest Of Teddy Roosevelt, and what
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1903-08-19

man in the State, that is casting
his vote next week for Governor,
he is casting it on one side or the
other OF the question presented by
Pres. Roosevelt. For or against
white supremacy in Mississippi.
In other words, and we wish we
could emphasize it more plainly:
A yote for Maj. Vardaman means
vote for the honor, credit and decen-
cy Of the grand state, while a vote
for Critz means plainly a vote for
corruption, Doodle, negro insO-
lence, half.breed Republicanism
and the states everlasting and
ever regretting disgrace and dis
honor.
Don't make the mistake to be-
lieve that there Is no race ques-
ton, not only in Mississippi, but
in the entire nation. Mississippi
did not raise the issue either.
That junction was performed by
the accidental President OF the
United States, one Teddy Roose-
velt, now occupying the white
house by the result Of an assass-
in's bullet. For the second time
within the memory Of nearly every
voter in the land, the Presidents
chair has been filled by a vice
president from New YOrk's dir
tiest political pool, through the
instrumentalIty Of the assassin's
too accurately directed leaden
missile. OF all the fatal results
the present accident is decidedly
the most dangerous to the peace
and prosperity OF the land, and
more especially our own strug-
Cling beloved Southland.
President Roosevelt is a South
hater Of the deepest and most re-
lentleas dye. Nothing is too mean,
too low, too dishOnOrable too dis
reputable for him to do, if by it
be can humiliate the South and
its people. That men born in
this section are to be found who
will defend his position or in the
slightest degree apologize for his
infamous attitude, is beyond the
comprehension Of any sane South
erner. (And we use the word
SOutherner in its broadcast sense,
for We come from Virginia straight
blood and are proud Of it). The
fact is that Roosevelt is antago-
nistic to every thing nearest and
dearest to the Southern people
and to Southern interests. He is
purely selfish and narrow in his
personal desires, and be would
resort to any sort OF fiendish work
to carry his point.
So far as the public services Of
the Office Of Governor is concern
ed, for the next four years, it can
matter little TO the masses in the
state, except so far as the honest
administration Of the affairs are
concerned, but the expression
which is to be sent out over this
great country that the South, as
proclaimed By Mississippi, on a
fairly fought issue, is willing to
accept the negro IS an equal, as
Roosevelt demands and as his
hencnmans Judge Critz, IN the
present crisis, consent to do, is Of
monumental importance.
Fellow citizens, Of Mississippi,
the question is up to you. No
matter how you may have voted
in the first primary. You may
have preferred Senator Noel to
either Of the men now before you,
as g sort Of conservative between
the two radical extremes. But
that opportunity is now passed
from you. The only choice now
is to take the white man OF the

Died.

KIsNER.-O On Thursday evening,
June II, 1908, at Fort Hill, John Wal
ter, son of Mr.. and Mrs. James Kisner,
of pneumonia, aged II months and 27
days. The deceased was a bright
child and one whose loss will be deeply
felt and mourned by the members of
the household. He was laid to rest
in the NJ. E. cemetery at Beckman.
We had little treasure once.
He was our joy and pride;
We loved him, ah, perhaps too well,
For soon he slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever passed away.
God needed one more angel child
Amid his shining band,
And so he bent with loving smile
And clasped our darling's hand.
Yes, Wen miss thee, darling Walter,
While the years roll slowly on,
But we would not call thee back
From that bright and happy home.

FOR STATE COMPTROLLER.
a Contributor Presents the Name of Mr
Scott T. Jones, of Oakland, for the
High Office.

Contributor Presents the Name of Mr.
Scott T. Jones, of Oakland, for the
High ONCE.
The REPUBLICAN is in receipt of
the following communication which
is self explanatory and which gives us
great pleasure in publishing, believing
as we do that the gentleman named
Mr.. Scott 7. Jones, of Oakland
the office of State Comptroller can
be elected if he is nominated and will
accept the position. He is thoroughly
qualified in every particular for the
office and viii fill it with dignity and
honor. The communication follows:
To the Editor Of The Republican.
As the time for the State Conven-
ton approaches the name of a gentle
man of Garrett county comes to my
mind who would be an ideal candi-
date for The Office of State Comptroller.
This is one of the most important
offices on the ticket and the gentleman
nominated must be qualified in the
highest degree. | feel certain that
the name of the gentleman whom l
will mention will commend itself to the
voters of the county and state. Gar
rett county has never had candidate
for this office, or any other State office,
and | think that the delegation
should go to the convention with a
candidate for the position named
above.
The man whom name as a suitable
person to have the endorsement of the
Garrett delegation is no more nor less
than Scott 7. Jones. Esq, Cashier of
the Garrett National Bank of Oak
land.
1t is not necessary to speak more
than a word of his business ability
and strict probity-thev are known
to all in the county. He-posesses all
the qualifications which go to make
up the attributes of a Comptroller of
the State; he is thoroughly conyersant
with banking duties, having been in
the business practically all of his life.
He was leading spirit in the estab-
lishment of the Garrett County Bank
of Oakland, now the Garrett National
Bank, over fifteen years ago. He is
well and favorably known, not only
within the confines of the county, but
all over the state and has served as
one of the Vice Presidents of the Mary
land State Bankers Association. He
is a leading member of the Presbyte-
rian Church of Oakland. His name is
synonymous with all that goes to
make an upright and just man. Mr..
Jones is the son of the late Hon. John
p. Jones, of Terra Alta.
1t is not necessary to go more fully
into the details concerning Mr..
Jones. His life is an open Sbook to
every one in this section of the state,
and in conclusion it is only necessary
to say if an effort is made to nominate
Scott I. Jones, Esq, for the State
Ccmptrollership and it is successful
the State will have as it's head of the
financially experimentation the next
two years one whom all will be able
to trust with confidence and who will
manage the affairs of this high office
with prudence, wisdom and upright
ness. A REPUBLICAN.

BELAIR, Md, June 17.-Mr. John
b. Hanna, who was chairman of the
delegation of Republicans who waited
upon Hon. Stevenson A. Williams on
May % last, last evening received a
reply from him in which he consents
to allow his name to be presented to
the Republican State Convention,
which assemblies in Baltimnre on Sep
TENDER 8, for the Gubernatorial NOM
nation. The letter is as follows:
"J0hp b. Hanna, Esq:
"MY DEAR SIR:-Oyer two weeks
ago | promised my Hartford Republi-
can friends, for whom you were
spokesman, to say in about week
whether | would consent to the pres
entation of my name to the Republi-
can State Convention for the APP
preaching Gubernatorial nomination.
When | began to think the matter
over found it involved with so many
considerations, business, political and
personal, each of which was entitled
to careful attention, that it has re-
CURED more time than supposed. l
hope my friends i'll Hartford and
throughout the State will not think
my delay is evidence that have not
appreciated the kind words that have
been spoken of my proposed candi-
dacy. Indeed, they are most highly
appreciated and are in large measure
responsible for my now saying to you
and through you that should be the
nominee of the convention | will con-
slider it a public duty to accept and
contribute all in my power to the
cause of fair elections and govern
ment. which has been so seriously i'm
periled by the events of the last few
years. Very sincerely,
rs. A. WILLIAMS"
With the exception of having been
School Commissioner, which in Har-
| ford county has no political signiti-
canoe, Mr.. Williams experience as an
officeholder has been limited to one
term in the State Senate, but it was
his record there which led Republican
leaders throughout the State and city
| to turn to him as the man who they
believed could not only lead theil
party to victory next fall, but would
give such an administration as tc
strengthen the party by establishing
public confidence. Mr.. Williams OPP
position to the Objectionable features
of the ballot law, new School Com
missioner law and other measures
pushed by the Democratic machine
was not successful, but it was made
in fair, manly way which command
ed the respect of his opponents. Or
non political matters he was regarded
by Democrats and Republicans alike
as thoroughly sound and worthy o
all confidence.
Mr.. Williams is SO years of age. HI
is one of the leading members of thu
Belair bar and has large practice
rendering necessary the employment
of a corps of bookkeepers and clerks
His only brother, Mr.. Frederick R
Williams, is associated with him. Mr.
Williams was born at the Brooklyn
Navy-yard during the temporary res
idence of his parents there, but hi

ested in farming.

Some fun il had now at the expense
OF the omnipresent politicians who are
just now busying themselves in plann-
ing who shall succeed Gov. Cummins
at the end Of his second term and who
shall succeed Senator Allison in five
years from now, and similar matters
and subjects that project themselves
into the rather remote future. Now
these critics do not perhaps realize
that the politicians in thus reading the
future and planning for it are evinc-
ing one of the very highest qualities
Of civilization. The savage is content
with the simple wants of today while
civilized man exhibits his highest
wisdom in planning for the future and
In being prepared to meet the future
as. 1t materalizes into the present.
These politicians with foresight are
wiser than their critics.
