Hon. A. j. Hopkin S
RepubIica an Candidate for Reelection
to the United States Senate.

Hon. Albert J. Hopkins, of Aurora,
Junior United States Senator of Illinois,
is a candidate for reelection to that
exalted and important position. Mr.
Hopkins is asking for reelection solely
on his merits as national servant of
the people, and opens his record to the
public for consideration, approval and
acceptance or rejection. He was born
in Illinois on d farm and is Il staunCh
republican of the old class, a bright
star in the present brilliant array of
republican statesmen. He is highly
honored by the nation and was given
the highest consideration by that
august body, the senate, in the last
congress of the United States, being
Chairman of the Finance Committee
and a member of Deep Waterways
Committee, also chairman of the most
important committee of the National
Republican Convention at Chicago
June 16, 1908
His Is years as congressman in the
lower House of the Legislative branch
of this nation, and years in the high
est and grandest deliberative body of
the world, the senate, make him among
the great potential factors that shape
the destiny of a great nation, at
Washington. We are vitally and i'm
mediately interested in the great Deep
Waterways movements that mean so
much not only to Illinois in particular,
but to the west in general. Mr.. Hop
kns declares that he, if elected again,
will be in position to carry out his
great work to perfection.
He is an unswerved republican who
stands for and advocates the carrying
out to the letter the principles enunci-
ated in the Constitution of the United
States and pledged to the platform of
the Republican party; being chairman
of the committee on resolutions, Mr..
Hopkins is to be credited with the fol
lowing plank in the platform of the
Republican party promulgated at Chi
cago. June 16, 1908, which is as follows:
The Republican party has been for
more than fifty years the consistent
friend of the American Negro. 1t gave
him freedom and citizenship. 1t wrote
into the organic law the declarations
that proclaim his civil and political
rights, and it believes today that his
noteworthy progress in intelligence, in
dustry and good citizenship has earned
the respect and encouragement of the
nation. We demand equal justice for
all men, without regard to race OF
color; we declare once more, and with
out reservation, for the enforcement in
letter and spirit of the thirteenth
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the Constitution, which were de-
signed for the protection and advance
ment of the Negro, and we condemn al
devices that have for their real aim his
disfranchisement for reasons of color
alone, as unfair, un-American and re-
pugnant to the supreme law of the
land"

Hopkinsville This was a godsend
when the situation seemed hopeless.
In the meantime every resource was
being exhausted to get an engine
ready in this city and a light wagon
was loaded and started by the pike
with 500 feet of hose, but the engine
was secured just in time and the out
fit with 500 feet more hose and 9th
err necessary supplies was loaded on a
fiatcar and sent as above stated. The
firemen arrived at an opportune
time, but had little to do. The citi-
zens had performed almost mira
Gle in controlling the fire at the al
ley, but their water was exhausted
and the wind had risen almost to a
gale. With plenty of hose, and con-
nections Of all sizes, a line was run
across the railroad to the pumping
station of the Electric Light Co. and
the pump started up. The force was
not sufficient to throw stream of

The Soldiers Have Arrested
Fifty Alleged Night
Riders.
SOME PROMINENT MEN.
Martial Law May Be Declar-
ed For Military Hangings
of Culprits.

Union City, Tenn, Oct. &c. About
fifty alleged night riders have been
arrested by the Tennessee State Mi
litia in the Reelfoot Lake section
Sunday, making 60 in all. They are
some of the best-known men of that
district. Many of them are believed
to have knowledge that will lead to
the culprits who murdered Capt. Ran
kin and those who were guilty of the
assault upon Judge Taylor. In the
event that Gov. Patterson declares
martial law, it is said several military
hangings may take place.
?. c. Ward, the hotel keeper. and
Ed Powell, who said he was forced
to go with the night riders when
Capt. Rankin and Col. Taylor were
taken from the Ward Hotel, are
among those arrested, also j. Fear
penter, who wrote the letter that led
the victims into the trap. Mr.. Car
penter, who is man 55 or 60 years
old. stoutly maintains that he knows
nathing of anv night riders plot
against Col. Taylor and Capt. Ran
kin. His friends say he is purely a
victim of circumstances.
Additional troops have been order
ed to the scene by Gov. Patterson.
A house to house investigation is be-
ing made to learn who cut the mill
tary telephone wire. One Of the men
under arrest is said to have express.

BLAZE AT BETHEL.
Cooks Quarters Caught But
Damages Small.

The roof of the cottage in the rear
of Bethel Female College, occupied
by the college cook, was discovered
on fire about three o'clock Sunday
afternoon and an alarm was turned
in. The department responded
promptly, but a bucket brigade,
made up of young ladies at the col

was water and the people breathed
easier. The flames were soon under
complete control and further dan
ger was averted. Councilmen Ran
die and Davis both went with the
fire company, and Mr.. Randle, who
was formerly the chief of the de-
partment, donned the rubber suit
and took personal charge of the men.
He says the work done by the buck
ct brigade was simply marvellous.
They carried water in every kind of
vessel and even economical its use
by putting it on the fire with dip
pers. The Hopkinsville company
returned on the special train at $3.50.

TWELVE HOUSES
ARE DESTROYED.

Pembroke was visited by a de-
structive fire Sunday that for time
threatened the destruction of the
entire business section Of the town.
The flames were discovered at |
o'clock in the roof Of w. w. Eddins'
warehouse on the L. & N. Railroad,
in the square south of Jackson street.
A stiff breeze was blowing and ev-
erything was favorable to general
conhagration. The citizens at once
set to work with whatever meagre
Facilities they had for fighting the
fire and an appeal for help was sent
to Mayor Meacham, of this city, who
at once ordered hose cart and'a
detail of firemen to Pembroke on
special train. Delay was experience
ed in finding the railroad officials
with authority to act and it was not
until 2:45 that the train, consisting
of an engine, fiatcar with the hose
and cart and caboose filled with
fire-fighters headed by Councilman
Geo. F. Randle, Of the fire commit
tee, steamed out for the burning
town. The The run of 10 miles was made
in Is minutes and the 'firemen arriv-
ed in the nick of time. During the
IL hours that the fire had keen
spreading it had swept the area on
both sides of Jackson street, bound
ed on the west by the railroad and
on the east by the Baptist church,
and the flames were being held in
check at the rear of a dozen stores
fronting on the south side of Main
street, the principal business square
of.the town.
The bucket brigade directed by

work in checking the fire at the al

the campaign as a representative of
the Sound Money wing of the party.
and was as badly knitted in the voting
by the Bryan wing as MI. Bryan had
been before him by the Sound Money
wing.
Personally, l have no regrets to
nurse, recantations to make, or for
g%iveness to ask. On the free silver
issue 1 was right and Mr.. Bryan was
wrong. 1t drove the Democrats out
and has kept them out. 1t is as dead,

1.-The whole face of the political
situation has changed since the meet
ing of congress-. Democrats of my
way of thinking will have in the com
ing struggle but a single alternative,
Bryan on the one hand, or Taft, alias
Roosevelt, or Roosevelt outright, or
the other hand. If my objections to
Mr.. Bryan were even greater thar
they are / should lot hesitate before

COLONEL WATTERSoN
STILL EXPLAINING.

Col. Henry Watterson, writing to
lis paper, the Louisville Courier
journal, from Florida, where he has
been spending the winter, again finds
it necessary to explain his change OF
heart in regard to the candidacy OF
Mr.. Bryan. He says:
81 observe that two or three of the
Bryan-or-bust organs are describing
the attitude of the Courier7Journal
toward the political situation as "a
change of heart.' That way of put
ting it is characteristic of THOSE
WHO DO NOT THINK, BUT ONLY
FEEL. They fancy that wishing will
cause the crops to grow and are sure
that when the skies fall they will
catch larks. o twelve long years
they have been playing politics like
children.
Now, L am something of a practi-
cal politician. 1 want to win, not
lose elections. No more than Mr.. Bry-
an would 1 sacrifice the right to ex-
pediency; but one mans ipse dixit
does not constitute the right, and,
where a party has been so rent by
faction as ours, wise leadership would
counsel both tolerance and modera-
ton.
In spite of his sunny disposition,
his patient courtesy and steadfast
a~miability, Mr.. Bryan lacks tact. That
he talks too much for a prudent par
~ 1aoIar chO,1l1 ho onnor ont tn the
least rejecting and is perfectly obvi-
Gus to those who remember upon
what slender threads the Presidency
has often hung. Being sure that Mr..
Bryan will be the Democratic nomi-
nee, n having made up my mind to
support him, l want to elect him. In
this there has been no change of
heart" at all-not eve a change of
mind, for l surrender none of my
convictions-but only an adjustment
to conditions, which, in American
politics, are Kaleidoscope, shifting
ron time to time as they are driven
by events before the winds of public
exigency and opinion. The strongest
of us cannot always have his way.
When he gets it he is not in~frequently
disappointed by the result.
Mr.. Roosevelt makes Mr.. Bryan
look like a conservative. He makes
his election not merely possible, but
likely. Mr.. Bryan, however, can only
be elected through the votes of such
Democrats as / am, supplemented by
the Independent vote, and yet the
B~ryan-or-bust organs, which do not
think but feel-whose brains are To-
Gated in heir boots. if they v any
brains at all-would warn the Cour-
~ier-Journal, and all sich,' off the res
ervation. When Mr.. Bryan gets into
the White House every mothers son
of them will be running to Washing
Portable. thing. and, failing to get it,
they will turn upon their idol and
rend 1t. 1 have a great advantage
over these, because l belong to that
don't-give-a-damnative class of whom
it has een written, blessed are
those that expect nothing. for they
shall not be disappointed"
upon any ordinary layout, the

decided by the vote of the debatable
states, Mr.. Bryan could not be, in
the nature of the case-as Judge Par.
ker was not In 1904-the strongest
candidate. Judge Parker's strength

stance that he had voted the ticket
