CABLING HIS Words.
Democratic Speakers DriUen to DeS-
perate Straits in attacking President
IFRoM TIE TRIBUNE DuREAU.l

Washington, Oct. S.-A striking example OF
the desperate means to which the Democrats
are driven in the:s efforts to conduct a campaign
based on 4 personal attack on the President has
been afforded IN an unexpected quarter. H. S.
George Tucker. Of Lexington. Va. president OF
the American Bar Association dean Of the law
faculty Of a college at the national capital and
Democratic elector-at-large for Virginia, in an
address to the Democrats OF his home, LeXing-
ton, stopped to use a garbled quotation from the
Presidents book. "Oliver Cromwell" as the
basis for an attack on the President. represent
ing him as unfit for the high office for which he
IS a candidate.
In "Oliver CROMWELL there occurs this pas
sage:
In great crises It may be necessary to over
turn statutes, just as 1t may be necessary TO
establish a vigilance committee take refuge
in lynch law, but such remedy is always dan
gerOus even when absolutely necessary: and the
moment II becomes the habitual remedy II is a
proof that society is going backward. OF this
TetrogressiOn the deeds OF the strong man VINO
sets himself above the law may be partly the
consequence: but they are always the signs OF
decay.
A correct quotation would not have served Mr.
fuckers purpose however, so he quoted only
a portion Of the first sentence. which he garbled
as follows:
In great crises it may be necessary to over
turn constitutions and disregard statutes just
]
committee. or take refuge IN lynch law.
Here Mr.. Tucker stopped. conveying to his
auditors the impression that he had reached a
period, instead OF a semi-colon, and he then
proceeded 10 argue with great eloquence on the
danger Of electing to the Presidency a man who
could deliberately in his writings advance the
opinion that the Constitution could be overturned
in any great crisis. that statutes could be dsre-
garded and that lynch law was justifable, avail
ing himself OF the words he had Wilfully inter
pOlated In the alleged quotation. TO support the
Democratic contention that Mr.. Roosevelt has
overturned" the Constitution
Worthy OF condemnation as such garbIed quo
tations and slanderOus deductions might be IL
uttered by second rate spelbnder they are
infinitely worse when coming from a speaker
whose position naturally leads his audience 20
regard him worthy Of cTedence and above the
disreputabe style OF politics which countenances
open slander and falsihcaton
Coming from such a source. the false quotation
has attracted considerable attention In Wash
ington, and is generally regarded typical of
the desperate straits TO which the political ora
tors are being driven by the orders from Demo-
cratic headquarters since German took hold 20

fering from cerebral hemorrhage. brought on by

scious Il was found that almost her entire body
was paralyzed. For days she was fed through

CHAPTER N,NE-contlnued.


Two warm arms were clasped
around his neck. n face wet with tears
nestled for moment on his shoul'
der. and she kissed him twice. with
the live kisses that come from the
heart OF a woman whose affection has
passed the mysterious border that sep
arates friendship from love.
Goodbye. John; God bless you and
guard you!"
Goodbye. Jessie: good.bye!"
He watched her as she faded away
from him and disappeared beyond the
vines which shaded the veranda.
Under the aIched naples where he
had walked with Jessie so many
times. and down the sandy road
where they had loitered In summer
days now gone forever. John Burt
urged the horse along. II was two
miles to Peter Burt's. and he soon
reached the gloomy old house. A fig-
ure stood by the gate. John rode for
ward and recognized his grandfather.
You did well to come home. my
boy" said the old man, whose deep.
calm voice held an anxious note.
Something has happened. and my
soul has been calling you since dusk.
Ride TO the graveyard and I'll follow
you. II isn't safe to talk here"
In the far corner OF the old grave
yard John Burt hitched his horse aud
turned to meet his grandfather. The
old man seated himself on the grave
OF the pioneer Burt who, two hundred
y.nrs h.fora Ind dared tha dangers
OF the wilderness.
Now We can talk" he said. Tell
me what has happened"
Quickly John Burt related the Incl.
dents OF the tragedy.
The old man made no sign during
the recital. and was silent for min.
utca after John had ended.
He deserved to die. and II was
written that he should perish by y.o-
lcncc: but his blood Is not on your
head" began the old man calmly.
Murder. In the sight OF God. is In the
