Senator Carmack fell to the ground,
dying instantly. Robin. Cooper was
shot in the right shoulder, but was
not badly hurt. It Is understood that
the trouble is one Of the results Of q
recent Democratic gnbernatorial pri-
mary in which Carmack was defeated.
Carmack had since he became editor
OF the Tennesseean, been quite caustic
IN criticising what he called the Dem
ocratic machine and had printed sew
eral editorials about Colonel Cooper.
Within the past few days. It is said,
Colonel Cooper notified Carmack that
those editorial criticisms must cease.
This morning another editorial re.
ferring to the colonel appeared in the
paper, and this is supposed to have
been the immediate cause Of the trou-
BILE. AS Senator Carmack fell at the
edge Of the street, Colonel Duncan p:
Cooper put his arm around Robin
Cooper and both walked a few feet
down Seventh avenue to Dr.. R. G..
Forts office, where the slight wound
in Robins shoulder was examined and
treated.
An ambulance carried the body Of
MI. Carmack to an undertaking estab-
lishment.
The pistol Of Carmack, q 80 calibre,
was lying at his side with two Of the
chambers empty when the body was
picked up and vas turned over to
an OFFICER. The stump Of q cigar MT.
Carmack had been smoking was also
in the street beside him.
Young Cooper was later carried to
. hospital and Colonel Cooper 10 held
at police headquarters. He has made
no statement. Robin Cooper Ia q prac-
ticing attorney az years old and single.
The tragedy created intense excite
ment throughout the city and within q
short time the streets In the neighbor-
hood were thronged.
A statement issued by friends Of the
Coopers tonight says that Colonel
Cooper had recently talked with =. A.
Craig, Of Chattanooga y close friend
Of Mr.. Cormack's regarding the Tenn
essoean editorial.
Colonel Cooper had told Craig, the
statement says. that he wanted the
reference to himself stopped; that he
was q good citizen and Carmack had
not right to discuss him in the manner
he had adopted.
MI. Craig. It IL said, saw Mr. Car.
mack about the matter and reported
|that Carmack would consent to no re-
latdons with Cooper.
The editorial which appeared this
morning is as follows: 4
ITO Major Duncan Brown Cooper,
who wrought the great coalition. who
achieved the harmonious confluence o.
incompatible elements; who welded
the pewter handle to the wooden
spoon; who grated the dead 'bough to
the live tree and made 1t to bloom

fruit; who made playmates OF the

panions Of the spider and the ny; who

idly in the same bottle and who taught

TAG DAY"

The treasurer of the state Democrat
ic committee has decided on Oct. 2 as
Democratic Tag Day." and on that
day every Democrat will be wearing
a Democratic tag on the lapel of his
coat. A novel plan has been agreed
upon to make Tag Day" a success in
Oklahoma. At each corner in the
towns on that day will be stationed a
lady with these tags and 1t will be
hard for a Democrat to pass unless he
has the proper credentials.
On one side of the tag is the pic
ture of William ] Bryan, and the
motto, Let the people rule on the
side; Il have contributed to
the Bryan campaign fund"
Tags are being sent to every county
in the state.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 22.-The Okla

Press from Cincinnati to the effect
that w. J. Bryan declines to make an
answer to President Roosevelt's letter
today He says he will reply to the
letter within few days The delay
is said to be for the purpose Of giving
Governor Haskell chance to disprove
the Standard oil charges against him.
Chairman Mack has given out no
expression which indicated any inten-
tion of asking Governor Haskell to re-
sign as treasurer of the national com
mittee.

Washington. Sept. 24.-President
Roosevelt last night, following upon a
prolonged conference with members OF
the cabinet at the White House, pre-
pared and gave his reply to w.
j. Bryan, the Democratic candidate.
relative to w r. Hearsts charges that
Governor Haskell, treasurer of the
Democratic campaign committee, had
represented Standard Oil interests
both in Ohio and Oklahoma. Mr.. Bry-
an had demanded proof of the charges.
promising that in the event of their
substantiation Governor Haskell would
be eliminated from the campaign.
Dismissing the Ohio case. which in
volved an allegation of attempted
bribery. with the explanation that he
had made no direct charge against
Governor Haskell as regards that par
ticular instance, President Roosevelt
takes up the matter of the Prairie
OIL & Gas company, and argues that
Governor Haskelrs action in stopping
legal proceedings begun by the attor-
ney general Of oklahoma demonstrates
conclusiyely that he was controlled by
the great corporation to which the
Oklahoma company was subsidiary.
After contrasting Mr.. Bryan's de-
fense of Governor Haskell as against
Judge Tafts reputation Of Senator
Foraker, in connection with the Hearst
charges against the Ohio senator, the
president proceeds to declare that Gov
ernor Haskell's utter unfitness for
association with any man anxious to
appeal to the American people on a
moral issue, has been abundantly
shown by others acts Of his as govern
or of Oklahoma"

IMMENSE CROWDS

Columbus, Ohio. Sept. 24.-Twelye
speeches to enormous crowds marked
the second entry of w. J. Bryan, Demo
cratic candidate for president. into
Ohio during the present campaign. His
concluding speech was made here last
night to an overflow crowd Of 10000
persons, while just previously he had
addressed the largest audience that
ever had assembled In Memorial hall.
The seating capacity is 5000. but this
was increased by 1000 others who
were satisfied to stand. NJ Bryan's
appearance on the platform created a
scene Of the widest enthusiasm, which
took some time to die out, but the
demonstration was repeated when he
was formally introduced by James Kill
bourne, the Democratic candidate for
governor of Ohio several years ago
While Mr.. Bryan was speaking Judge
Harmon, the present Democratic candi-
date for governor OF the state, and
others were addressing the crowd out
side.
In none of his remarks did Mr. Bry-
an touch on the bribery charge against
Governor Haskell.
During the day in this city. the Dem
ocratic candidate for president spoke
to 1000 committeeman. the number be-
ing so large that the hall was emptied
