Mr. Bryan If the latter would make
public his views on any OF seven pro-
posals. Mr.. Keenan's offer was as fol-
lows:

eral way the course OF southern SEN
timent on the race question, as indi-
Gated by constitutional and Legislative
enactments on the suffrage question
respecting franchise, ana If you would
approve a change in the national con-
stitution SO that this program could
be said to be within and not without
the constitution.
Ii YOU approve this course of your
southern allies | will support YOU for
having the courage TO say so; If you
do not approve this course OF the
solid south" and will say so, | will
support you for having the courage to
tell them wherein they are wrong.
The thirteenth amndment to the
federal constitution abolished slavery;
the fourteenth gave civil rights to the
freed people; the fifteenth prohibited
suffrage on disqualification on account
of race.
2. II you believe these amendments
incorrectly prescribe the political and
civil rights of the Negro race, and will
indicate the error, ! will support you
for having the courage Of your con-
victions to speak on the subject. On
the other hand, If YOU believe that
these amendments correctly define the
civil and political rights of the Negro
race; then | will support YOU for hav-
ing the courage to say so.

claring that the immediate safety and
peace OF the state of Oklahoma de-
pends upon separating the Negro from
the white man and the Indian in
railroad waiting rooms and passenger
coaches, then will support you pro-
yidded you will have the courage at
the same time to say why you never
thought 1t necessary to advocate the
"Jim Grow" railroad laws and separate
schools In your own state of Nebraska.
4. Ii you believe there Is a Negro
issue I'm the south, and define what
that issue is so that there may be a
moderately fair understanding of the
Issue, then ! will support you ror hav-
Ing the courage you may have in such
task.
D. II you will make clear that
there is any national political issue
on the Negro question, pointing out
where the northern and southern
democrats are united. and that this
issue is opposed to like issue of the
republicans, then | will vote for you
for your discernment in being able
to find such an issue in national poll
tics. On the other hand, il there is
no defined issue between the parties,
marking living and distinct national
policy, and YOU will tell your southern
adherents that such Is the case ! will
support you for this act of courageous
candor.
6. If you will come to the south

the issues of political economics or II

Aged Is, Took CarbOlic Acid

As Her Husband Started to Work This
Morning, Mrs. Robinson Rushed Out in

Died Within Short Time.

Carbolic acid, taken with suicidal in
tent during iit of melancholia, resulted
in the death OF Lucelia Robinson, the
lS-year.old wife OF Ernest Robinson Of
1853 South Main street, at about five
o'clock this morning. No real reason is
known for the act, and il is thought that
the woman's mind had become unbal-
snced, as this is the third attempt that
she is said to have made upon her own
life within a few months.
Mrs. Robinson went out OF the house
at about seven o'clock last evening, leav-
ing Mr.. Robinson at home. As she left
the house he asked her what time she
would be at home, and she replied that
she did not know. lie retired early and
got up at four o'clock this morning,to
make ready to 60 TO his work. Upon

wife lying upon a couch. He had some
conversation with her and started TO go

to see his wife run into the yard saying,
II have done It'll" Robinson ran back
to the house and telephoned for doctor
and then carried the unfortunate woman,
who had dropped in the doorway into
the house and placed her on the couch.
Drs. J. w. jackson and NJ. ID. Lamb
responded. DIR. jackson arrived within
Is minutes; but life was extinct when
he arrived. DIR. jackson is of the opinion
that the woman swallowed nearly three
ounces Of the acid.
AS before stated, there is ne known
reason why she should take her life, but
she is said TO have had fits of melancholy
and depression since an operation for ap-
pendicitis about year ago. She is
said to have been in her usual spirits
last evening when she called at the home
of her father-in-law, O. T. Robinson, of
go South Main street, and that she left
for her own home at about nine o'clock.
The poison with which the deed was
committed had been in the house for
some time, having been bought by Mr..
Robinson for medical use.
She is survived by her husband, to
whom she had been married little over
year, her father, Jerome Irish of
Brooklyn street, one brother Charles.
