cation to you, and would ask
you to use every means in your
power to get the Democrats OF
your county to register on the
first Monday in October, the last

The indications now are that
the Republicans of this State
will put out an electoral ticket
and also candidates against all
of our Congressional nominees.
OF course, we all know that the
general Indifference on the part
Of the voters is produced by tha
prevailing feeling tha. tho pri-
mary elections settle the fate of
our candidates, and that our
party ip this State is invincible.
We are invincible if our people
will register and vote, but not
other wise.
In the first primary election
there were over 100000 votes
cast, and over 10000 in the Sec
ond primary. |, therefore, trust
that you will do all in your pow.
er to get the Democats Of your
county to register and vote, and
your county papers to urge it.
Yours very truly,

He paused, quite overcome. Others
among us were overcome, too, but only
for a moment. The following remark
from the district attorney soon recalled
us to the practical aspects Of the case:

Still a very important one which neil
Their yourself nor Miss Tuttle has yet
made plain. There was candle on
the scene Of crime. 1t was out when
this officer arrived here. There was
also one found burning in the upstairs
room, aside from the one you profess

there. Whence came those candles?

courage which brought her here may
have led her to supply herself with
light, and, hard as 1t Is to conceive, she
may even have found nerve to blow out
the light before she lifted the pistol to
her breast"
The district attorney and the major
looked unconvinced, and the latter,
turning toward Miss Tuttle, asked IL
she had any remark to make on the
subject.
But she could only repeat Mr.. JET
frey's statement.
