David B. Hill belongs to what is
known as the school Of practical poll
ticians. When he engages in
political contest, he acts like chess
player, ard defeats his adversary by
making similar moves. 1t is quite
safe to say that if Hill is the power
behind the new democratic chair
man the republican chairman will
not enjoy monopoly in anything.

MICHIGAN DYNAMITE OUTRAGE
House of n Mine Superintendent Is BADLY
Wrecked but Fortunately the In
mates Escape Injury.

1ronwood, Mich, July 11.-The resi-
dcnce of Earl Walton, superintendent
of the Brotherton and Sunday Lake
mines. at Wakefield, on the east
end of the Gogebic range, was destroy
ed early in the day. Not less than
twenty pounds of dynamite was used.
A lighted fuse probably set off the cx-
plosive. No connecting wires could be
found Sections of the house and YER
anda We're blown two hundred feet, but
the family asleep upstairs, escaped
serious injury.
Superintendent Walton has no idea
as to the indenity of the perpetrators
or their motives. A strike occurred at
the mines in January against ten per-
cent cut. in wages. Some of the old
employees found their places taken
when the two mines resumed shipping.
AS result of the explosion Sheriff
Olson has sworn in an extra force of
deputies. The Brotherton and Sunday
Lake mines are important iron ore
producers, and are controlled by Jo-
seph Sellwood, of Duluth.

Why The South Voted For Parker.

The South believes in Mr.. Bryan.
admires him and is ready to cheer
every mention Of his name, but its
love for him is exceeded by its fears
of what will happen as a result OF
four more years Of President Roose-
velt's negro policy.
They say that Roosevelt is build
ing up in the negro mind a desire
for social equality, which when it as
sumes the form Of a demand will re.
sultin a race struggle heterrible con-
sequences of which no one can over
estimate. Confronted by that dan
ger, leaders Of the Southern people
like Bailey, Williams, Daniels and
Tillman, while insisting that the
party platform should be truly demo-
cratic, believed that it was best for
their section Of the country to per.
nit New York to name the ticket
and shape the campaign this year
"! 81; ID l hss: : men q
their polit' Dir d were asking fol
the privile 5 SfUetead in an attack
upon tho E gpublican octopus and
fight fire with fire whenever they
considered it necessary. Ordinarily
the leaders Of the Southern people
would not be willing to grant such &
commission, but it offered what
seemed to them the best chance t.
defeat Roosevelt and scatter thu
black cloud which was rising owe:
their section Of the country and tina
is why the southern delegates whil'
cheering themselves hoarse for Bryan
voted almost as a unit for New
York's candidate.
