do not think that thessIist is subject

reasonable doubt that the Democratic

Jersey and Connecticut are not equally

as New York does, for the excellent
reason that they constitute, to all in

these divisions. SO go the others for
precisely the same reason. There may

not. On the same basis Delaware

a possibility of question.
The states in this catalogue have 23O

are many different combinations from

For instance, Rhode Island is actually
a Democratic state today. We might

Utah is more likely to go Democratic

PAUL KRUGER GOES
TO HIS LAST REWARD
Former President of the South
African Republic Will Be
Taken Home for Burial

CLARENS, Switzerland. July IL
Transyaal republic, died here today of
pneumonia and supervening heart
weakness. He lost consciousness Mon
day. His daughter and son-in-law were
with him at the time of his death. He
had been out only once since his ar
rival here, at the beginning of last
month. The eX-preSident'S body was
embalmed and placed in vault pend
ing funeral arrangements. Application
will be made to the British govern
ment for authority to transport the
remains to the Transvaal. In the mean
time they will be temporarily inferred
here.
Mr.. Kruger, who was staying at the
Villa Du Boichet, had been failing for
a long time, but he was able to attend
to affairs read the newspapers and re-
ceive visits until Saturday. A change
for the worse set in on Sunday. He
became unconscious on Monday and
remained so until his death. Mr.. Kru-
ger expressed desire to be buried be-
side his wife, in his own country. He
died of senile pneumonia, caused by
sclerosiS of the arteries. The ex-preSi-
dents state of health was kept secret.
He had arranged to return to Men
tone, France, next fall, releasing the
picturesque villa which he had occu-
pied on the outskirts of the town. Wis
itors described him as being pathetic
figure of calm endurance. His eye
sight had dimmed, but he sat much at
times with his Bible open before him,
muttering well known passages. He
avoided references to the Boer war,
but when it was occasionally men
toned he showed no resentment, and
expressed the belief that Providence
would eventually render justice to the
Boer cause.

SHOOTS A BURGLAR
Philadelphia Policeman Spells
Nocturnal Enterprise

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 14.-One
burglar was killed, another surrender
ed and third made his escape, and
an eleven-yea old boy was wounded in
the back late tonight as the result of
an attempt of the three men to rob the
house of Harry Miller, of West Phil
adelphia. The dead man was Frank
Robinson, of New York, and the cap
tured burglar is Harry Smith, of this
city.
Robinson and Smith were discovered
in the house by neighbors, the Miller
family being away on an outing.
Policeman David Roberts entered the
house by rear window. He opened
fire on the men and shot Robinson
through the head and he dropped to the
floor dead. Smith reached the front
porch, where several citizens shot at
him. He threw up his hands and beg
ged them not to shoot him. In the
fusillade Raymond McCorkle, "a boy who
was in the crowd outside the house,
was shot in the back. His injury ) not
considered serious.

HOW AND WHY JUDGE PARKER
WILL WIN IN. THE CAMPAIGN
in
Democratic Parker
Majority ed for Montana,
and Utah

Already there is a vibrating note Of
confidence in the utterances of leading
democrats all over the country. The
expression of opinion with regard to-
zParkerS nomination and chances is
vastly different from the ordinary pei ;,
functory prophecy of the partisan that
his candidate will win. There is sim
cere conviction behind these predic-1
tons today. No convention spends
nearly a week wrestling nightly as
did that at ST. Louis unless it's men,
bers believe in their hearts that they
are going to win. People do not give
sweat and struggle to the building Of
card houses that the next breath must
blow, away. And since the magnificent
act of Judge Parker in sending his tele-
gram to the convention has made him
known and endeared him to our peo-
pie, this confidence has blossomed into
practical certainty. All over the
country those who little while ago
dared not believe that there was
fighting chance, and those who little
while ago believed that there was only
fighting chance are convinced that
we are going to win.
Let us look the situation in the face.
Just how many votes are necessary to
elect our candidates, and where are
they to be obtained? A new appor-
since the last presidential election,
most of our readers are perhaps un-
familiar with the representation of the
several states in the electoral college
as it stands today. We give the table
below, noting that increased repre-
sentation in the Southern states had
materially aided the Democratic cause:

MEMPHIS is STIRRED
Citizens Resolve to Root Out
Law!essness

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 14.-Resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted by a
largely attended meeting of citizens
tonight which demand that lawless-
ness and crime must be rooted out of
Memphis. The resolutions severely
criticise certain public officials for not
enforcing the laws. Last Monday
night two deputy sheriffs were shot to
death while raiding low gambling
resort on De Soto street.
United States Senator Carmaek was
the principal speaker at tonight's
meetings He said that public senti-
ment was strongly aroused and threats
of violence had reached his ears. He
counseled all good citizens to respect
the law and give the criminal court
officials their moral support.

Three hundred pickets, bicycle

itary precision, operating by reliefs of
six hours, patrol the roads between
the city and South st. Paul and the
strikers have settled down to a siege
In the engine house at South st. Paul
at midnight Secretary George Steep
was receiving reports from the bicycle
riders. All along the roads running
toward the city, at stated distances,
little groups of men lay about camp
fires. mo thoroughfare" was written
in luminous letters in the darkness,
and no strike breaker attempted to run
the lines.
The pickets on duty will be relieved
at 6 o'clock this morning and a dozen
fresh bicycle riders will be mounted.
They fooled us during the dark
hours Wednesday night" said one of
the strikers, in charge of squad near
the main entrance to the packing plant.
"They won't do it again.
Although the number of pickets was
increased yesterday by the butchers
and other employees on strike at the
packing plant of Swift & Co., South
ST. Paul, the company resumed slaugh-
tering for the first time since the strike
began Tuesday noon Upward of 200
men, as nearly as could be ascertained,
were put to work in place of the $50
men and the 40 women that went on
strike These recruits were secretly
obtained and did not pass the line of
pickets. They are thought to have been
brought in in refrigerator cars.
No additions were reported yesterday
to the advance made Wednesday by
the retail meat dealers in the price of
beef and pork.
Some Work in the Plant
The animals slaughtered yesterday
at the Swift companys South ST. Paul
plant were said to be rs cattle and $50
hogs. To accomplish this work the
company had presumably 200 new men
in the butchering department.
Most of the new men, it is supposed,
were taken into the plant during We'd
nesday night. They were either trans
ported in box cars or they were car
ried ashore in small boats from a
steamboat that had quietly come down
river.
Yesterday. as was rumored among
the union men, number of strike
breakers We're smuggled through the
picket lines in refrigerator cars.
J.. D. Banks, local representative of
Swift & Co. at South st. Paul, re-
turned yesterday from a vacation. On
taking charge of the plant he said:

most certainty. Colorado has five
electoral votes, and could be substi-
tuted for either of the three states in
the above table, or for Nevada in the
original list if it be. believed that there
is doubt of Democratic success in
either of these.
Then there is California with ten
electoral votes. We believe that on the
issues of today California is unhesi-
tatingly Democratic. The state has al
ways been ground for hard fighting.
The ten votes of California alone are
enough, when added to our original
list. to elect Judge Parker. Wisconsin
has thirteen electoral votes. The prob,
abilities at this time are all in favor
of these being cast for Parker and
Davis. While the two factions in which
the Republicans are divided profess
allegiance to Roosevelt, no such fight
can be made as has been pulled off
there without damage to the general
ticket. The La Toilette people rightly
hold Roosevelt responsible for the in
dorsement given by the national COM
mttee and convention to the Spooner
faction They are all of them most i'm
placable and unforgiving. They per-
celVez defeat confronting them and they
are going to take revenge. Meanwhile.
1t Will be remembered that only twelve
years ago Grover cleveland, a man not
unlike Judge Parker, on a platform no
stronger than that adopted this year,
carried Wisconsin against united and
harmonious Republican party by a ire
mendous majority. We believe that
wisconsin ought to be counted as safe
ly Democratic this year.
Without going further into the states
where there is fighting chance; into
Indiana, which would almost certainly
be ours but for the appeal to local pride
made by an Indiana candidate on the
republican ticket; into Illinois, where
Republican factionalism and disgrace
has made the chances fairly even; into
massachusetts,, where theSrevolt against
Roosevelt as imperator, against execu-
tive 4usurpatlon and treading the con-
Stltutlon under foot is naturally at it's
highest, or into any of the other states
where Republican success is doubtful,
we have shown how many different
possibilities and what a number of ae-
tual probabilities open the way to Dem
ocratic success.
The true way to scan such a table
OF electoral votes is not by the results
of 1900 or 1896, when issues prevailed
that are now swept away, but by COM
parlson with the vote in 1892 in 1883
and in 1884 Then the two parties were
aligned more nearly as to platform as
they are now, with the exception that
in addition to the larger demand today
for tariff reform we have the issue of
RooseveltiSn; of one man power
against the rule of the people, Let any
man with reasonably open mind figure
the chances as we have done, and we
believe that he will speedily see not
merely how the Democratic ticket may
be elected, but how and where and
why it must.

part of the plant is absolutely idle.
We intend to increase our force ma
terially from day to day. Every man
applying for work here will be hired so
long as our force is short The fact
that an applicant is or is not a union
man will not make the slightest diff
ference"
None of the recruits ventured out of
the plant, where they were receiving
food and shelter. In the hanging
house, it was said, $50 cots had been
prepared.
The numerous pickets did not annoy

raphers and other employees who went

Milkman Runs Blockade
A milkman, Patrick McAuliffe, was
the hero of the only exciting minute
throughout the day. When he attempt

They made other observations more
critical. But he "gee-up- ed" his de-

without disaster. No other Outsider

The corps of pickets rose yesterday
from 200 to 800. Some of them were
dispatched to Saltwater Duluth DEL
vein and other towns to warn off men
that may accept employment from the

Special to The Globe
ESOPUS, N. Y, July 14.-Congress-
man w. Bourke Cochran, August Bel
mont and William R. Rode were
among the callers upon Judge Parker
today. After luncheon they all sat on
the porch with Parker. Here is what
everybody concerned had to say:
Congressman Cockran-The courage
Gus and manly action of Parker stirred
me to the heart I have not felt be-
fore as feel in this campaign. I shall
do all l can for Judge Parker. 1 shall
make more speeches than l ever made
before. I shall do my best.

the same position as Mr.. Cochran.
Senator McCarren-Did 1 come up to

nothing but harmony. There isn't any
trouble in New York New York is
carried for Parker now by the biggest
majority any ticket ever had. Trouble
between Tammany and myself? 1 new

any. 1t is only a question of majority
in New York. The issue is now the
man.
Enthusiastic Over Parker
Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, July 14.-At a meet
ing of the Brooklyn Democratic club to-
night Parker and Davis were Endorsed.
The club supported Palmer and Buck
ner in 1896 and in 1860 was under the
Bryan standard. President Herman A
Metz presided at meeting. William S.
Hurley, vice president of the Borough
bank, made a speech in which he laud-
ed the character of Parker, declared he
was most acceptable candidate, and
that he had welded the party. Jules
Guerdon, who was one of the SignerS
