CHALLENGE PRELATE
But Archbishop Messmer De.
cIInes Joint Debate
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-Archbishcp
Messmer, of Milwaukee. whose pulpit
attacks on socialism have been extern
sively reported, has been challenged to
a debate by prominent Social Demo-
Gratis. The challenge is in part as
follows:
'.Inas1nuch as you have found it
worth while to discuss the principles of
socialism and the organization of the
Social Democratic party in various
public atterances, and have made as
sertions which Social Democrats are
inclined to challenge, the undersign-
ed, who have been chosen by the So
cial Democratic party as its candi-
dates, trust that you feel sufficiently
confident of your position to venture to
meet representatives of the movement
which you have SO openly attacked.
Victor L. Berger.
winfield r. Gaylord
Archbishop Messner, in answer,
wrote he had no faith in public de-
bates as means to convince supporters
of either side. The economic ques-
tions involved, he said, he would be
free, as a Catholic, to discuss. He
added:
ct Is a social doctrine touching mat
.ters OF religion and morality. You will
therefore pardon me If for the reasons
stated / decline to accept your invita-
ton. Could I persuade myself that a
public discussion of this kind would do
any good whatever. should not hesi-
tate to meet you on the platform"

SECRETARY SPEAKS FOR
NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Denies Republican Claims to Indiana
and Other States---Chairman Cow
herd Prophesies That the Demo
Gratis Will Elect 225 of the 388 Mem
bers of Congress

statement claiming 225 seats in the
ffty-ninth congress for the Democratic
party. He based this prediction on the
claimed strength of the national ticket
in the East and local dissensions in the
Republican states in the Middle West.
Mr.. Cowherd says:
"As things stand the prospects are
that the Democrats will carry 225 out of
the 388 districts. In the estimate I have
included Idaho, Utah and Wyoming.
These are all doubtful. The Democratic
chances are excellent in two of the
three. Our gains in the East will be
due largely to the strength of the ma
tional ticket. In the Middle West they
will be due more particularly to local
dissensions in the Republican ranks.
The long hold on patronage has bred
much trouble in Republican districts,
and the Democrats will profit corre-
spondingly by reason of it."
The details of the estimate follow:

would mean that there is in st. Paul
more than 225,0OO people.
With ideal weather and all the condi-
tions favoring their going to the polls
the women failed to take advantage
offered them to participate in an cleo
tion, and when the books were closed
but 1880 had qualified to vote on the
free text book amendment to the city
charter. There was but little appar-
ent united effort to get out this vote,
and so far as the election judges could
ascertain a great majority of the wom-
en- are opposed to the free book sys-
tenn. While hundreds of the men were
taken to the polls by party hustlers in
hacks and buggies. but few of the wom-
en- were permitted to indulge in the
luxury of ride.
Police and Firemen Active
Policemen and firemen were active in
all sections of the city, In many in
stances they went from house to house,
asking that the voters who had not
done so register and vote for the
amendments increasing the appropria-
ton for the benefit of the departments.
The effect of their work was apparent
early in the day, when voters began to
appear at the polls, and by remarks
showed that they we're interested ip the:
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-10-30

charter amendments. This feature con-
tinueds throughout the day, and when
it was known that there was an ex-
ceedingly heavy registration the po-
licemen and fremen were confidently
predicting that their amendments
would be carried.
From a party standpoint the Demo-
Gratis have made much the better show
ing. Nearly one-half of the increase
in the registration is in the Fifth and
Eighth wards, both largely Democratic.
The increase in these wards amounted
to 1856, and it is considered an assured
fact that fully four -sevenths Of the
number will vote the Democratic ticket.
In the other wards the increase is well
proportioned, and il the new voters
follow the usual practice and keep up
the proportionate vote of their sec
tions there will be little advantage to
either party outside of the Fifth and
Eighth wards.
Fail to Keep Up Proportion
The Third and Ninth wards did not
keep up the proportion. In the Third
the increase was but IA, and the
NlIlIn zSt. Lie ucdV1eSl pIOpOItlOudlC
increase made was in the Tenth and
Eleventh wards, but the vote in these
wards is so light that the increase
amounts to little when compared with
that in the big wards.
News that an extraordinary heavy
vote was being registered was known
early in the day at the local Demo-
cratic headquarters. Judges of cleo
ton telephoned in that the efforts of
the Democratic workers, who were en-
gagged in all sections of the city were
bringing out voters who had not been
seen at the polls for years, and others
who were entire strangers. The work
continued until the books closed at
p. M, at which time it was reported
that a number of persons who desired
to vote arrived at the polls few min
utes too late. They were not registered.
The following figures, given in to-
tails, by wards and by precincts. tell the
story in detail:

Insult to the Pope.

Rome, BY Cable.-The Pope has ad.
dressed to the cardinal vicar a pro-
test against the congress of free
thinkers held here last week. The
text was published in the Observatore
Romano this evening, with letter
from the cardinal vicar inviting Cath
olics to attend a service of atonement
to be held in all the leading bascilicas
of Rome on Thursday next. The
Pope. in his letter to Cardinal Respig-
hi, says:
"A new cause of bitterness has
been added to the many anXietles
which, especially in our times, ac-
company the government of the Uni
yersal Church. We have learned with
infinite sorrow that it is asserted that
the cultivators of the free thought
have met in Rome. while the painful
echo of their speeches is unfortunately
confirmed grim designs. Intelligence
is the noblest gift the Creator has
granted us, but it becomes sacrll1g-
ious when subtracted from the Al
mighty, or rejects the direction and
comfort of divine truth
The Pope says the insult was rem
dered more grave by the free-thlnkers
meeting in Rome, the city which had
been destined as a depository of the
faith, thus taking from Rome its des
ignation as the tranquil, respected
See of Christ's Vicar. We there
fore" the Pope added. will make
ours the offence offered to God, gath
ering in our heart all it's bitterness
The Pope recognizes that even OF
this occasion God sent comfort
through the manifestation of fillal al
fection received yesterday from the
one thousand of the Catholic associ
alton of the French youths, Gu'
he wishes to have in Rome a solemn
function of atonement for the outrage
to Divine Majesty and for the vlndl
cation of the honor and good nams
of the city.

Recommendation Of the Court Of In
quiry in the Huntsville Lynehina
Case.
Montgomery, Ala, Speciai.-tioverTi
or Cunningham Monday received the
report Of the military court of inquiry
appointed TO investigate the conduct Of
Company F, Alabama National Guard.
which was overpowered by the mob at
Huntsville, Ala, that lynched Horace
Naples, a negro.
The report. which is signed by Col.
T. 3. Fraser, Captain E. d. Smith and
Captain W. F. Walden, recommends
that Company F be mustered out for
inefficiency and that in the future all
officers be required to pass an examis
nation on the State military law before
receiving commissions. October Il was
the date fixed for the mastering out OF
the command.
The court found that Captain X. l..
Hay had no definite plan of action, and
that most of the men had no load in
their guns, though plenty of ammuni-
tion was to be had; also that one SEN
tinei was overpowered and badly hurt
by the mob
1t was also found that members of
the military company were cursed and
assaulted by the mob after fire was set
to the Jail and that they lost their mill
tary identity in the crowds,
1t was further found that the attack
| IN the Jail found the military sitting
around on the steps and curbstones
| eating supper, also that on the night of
| the mob there was an entire lack of
| concerted effort or plans for the protec-
ton of the Jail or prison.
The report concludes by saying;
"The combined shortcomings of the
military allowed life to be taken un-
| lawfully by a mob under circumstances
which justify us in concluding that
the same could have been prevented
| thereby rejecting serious discredit
| upon the military called into the SER
| vice.
