Chicago Paper Puts on It's
Democratic Spectacles and
Views Political Situation;
Attempt to Mislead Vot-
ers Proves Boomerang.
BOTH PARTY LEADERS
LAUGH At STATEMENTS
Thousands of Copies Are Given
Away, But Readers Throw Them
Away in Disgust Because of Pre-
verted statements-Prates of It's
Straw Vote.

The Chicago Journal, democratic
newspaper. saw fit to invade Gary yes
terday. with two of their reporters, and
canvass the political situation from a
democratic standpoint. The men col
leeted data from several of the rank
Bryanites of the city and after pub
fishing the statements in their paper,
circulated a thousand copies on the
streets free of charge. 1t is under
stood that the democrats paid the bill,
but many think it likely that they took
this means of advertising both Bryan
and the paper.
Facts yyiIfuIIy Perverted.
The false and misleading report of
facts which were printed takes the
starch out of every prediction which
they assume to make about Gary poll
tics. The two men who got the dope
were heard debating their copy. Dur
in the process one OF them said to the
other: "Oh, well have to change that;
it isn't strong enough"
The following extract of the article
brands its character:
Almost every republican force in
the state has been concentrated on
Gary. as it is realized that this portion
of the state is the one which will carry
Indiana for Bryan. Republican work
ers and organizers have taken up head
quarters in the new steel city and car
loads of literature are being rushed to
the mills on every train.
Hundreds of votes are said to have
been lost for the republican ticket ow-
ing to the prominent part taken in las
Saturdays demonstration by Eugene
Burlington, president of the Illinois
Boss Burlington. The mill boss al
the meeting in Gary. is said to have
assured the republican candidate tha
he would compel the steel workers tC
give him a big plurality.
During the Taft meeting, Burlington
hissed several times Mill Boss
Burlington is known as an open enemy
to organized labor

ONE ON wELLMAN.

A great deal of stir has been
made over the WeIIman predic-
tion that Bryan would carry
Indiana. The following letter
adds to the ridicuIe that has
been heaped on the Record-Her-
aid because of 1T:
To the Indianapolis stars
As showing how little reliance
can be placed upon the demo-
cratic predictions of success In
this campaign, L need only to
call your attention to the fol-
lowing Incident:
About ten days ago Walter
WeIIman wrote n long article in
the Chicago Record Herald stat
ing that 1t was his opinion that
Bryan would carry Indiana.
Two or three days after that
in campaigning this state
spoke at Madison with General
Grosvenor of Ohio and called his
attention to this newspaper ar
ticIe of Mr.. Wellman and Gen
eraI GrOsvenor told me at the
time the following facts con-
) cerning that interview, which

Fraas wants TO Know.

A letter of inquiry from John e.
Fraas, director of the Erie and Penn
sylvania railroad milk shippers of
Crown Point. states that the dairymen
wish to know who has the right to
test cows; how often they must be
tested; whether the state does the test
ing free of charge; neither the state re-
imburses cattle owners for losses that
will be sustained and whether dairy
men may ship milk in Indiana If the
cows have not been tested.
DIR. Barnard has answered the in
quiry by informing the writer that any
test: that the test should be made just
as often as may be necessary to show
the herd to be free from tuberculosi is
but that if a test is made in Novem-
Der and shows that there are no tuber-
culosis cattle in the herd, another test
is not necessary for a year, providing
no new untested COWS are added to the
herd
The supervision over farmers who
ship milk to the city will be no less
strict. Beginning today thousands OF
little yellow tabs will be sent out tC
them, on which they will be expected
to report twice a week, all cases o.
contagious disease which appear in
their families or the families of theil
mixers. If there is no such disease
the farmer must send in his report, Ger
tifying to that effect, and if he neglect.
to do so his milk will be sent back

Crown Point. Ind, Oct. 2s.-The ac-
tivity of the Chicago city health off,
cials in keeping close watch on the
Indiana milk supply is still very great.
In fact, there is danger that because
of their laxity in the past will amount
to an oppression If the Indiana farmers
do not give them assurances of their
intention to clean up.
The city authorities of Chicago have
issued notice to dairymen who furnish
the city with milk that after Jan. l no
milk will be accepted except from cows
that have passed the tuberculin test,
because of the prevalence of tuber-
culosis in cattle, Much of the Chicago
milk supply comes from the farms and
dairies in Indiana, and inquiries are
coming to the state food and drug
commissioner, II. E. Barnard, for infor-
nation relative to the testing of cat

Washington, Dec. 10.-ttIt's all
tommy-rot about the Republicans
making gains in the South says
Governor Glenn, Of North Carolina,
who is here on a visit. While it
IS true that my majority was about
$4,000 greater than that given Coz
erncr-elect Kitchen, the Democratic
vote was larger by nearly $4,000
than it ever has been. The Republi-
cans polled a bigger vote, Of Grouse,
which showed that greater interes.
vas taken IN the last campaign than
q any past election.
why should the Southern States
change their politics? Individually
he States of the South are more
prosperous than the Republican
States of the North. There never
was time when the South was more
prosperous. II, therefore, We are
progressing, why, repeat, should
we change our politics?
Because Mr. Bryan was defeated
is no reason for change of mind
IN my part regarding him. I con-
iider him one Of the greatest Amer
leans that ever lived, and history
will prove it.

FIEND PUT TO DEATH
DRAGGED SICK YOUNG LADY
FROM HER BED
After Shooting Several Times III
Her Room--Trailed by Dogs ami
Caught and Was Lost.

Valdosta, Ca, Dec. 12.-Partie:
who came here last night from
Statewide, inN Echols county
brought some rather meager detail:
Of the exciting experience which tbs
family Of Mr.. Fisher Belote had al
the hands Of a negro desperate who
ran anuck during the previous night
and bolted into the house where the
members Of the family were sleep
ing
The negro was evidently one who
had had some trouble with Mr.. Be-
lote and, after becoming drunk at
a negro frolic, later went to the
white mans home for trouble.
The negro first broke open the
door Of his home and rushed into
the room where the wife and sick
daughter were sleeping, exclaiming:
t'I want old Fisher Belote," and
firing three shots from his revolver
into the roof. Mrs. Belote, who kept
her nerve remarkably well, told the
negro that Mr.. Belote was not IN
the room.
The negro then stumbled to the
bed where the sick daughter was
lying, catching her by the foot and
saying: Here he is,'' and at the
same time firing two shots into the
head Of the bed.
BY that time, Mrs. Belote had
cotton out Of the bed and secured
the rife and was calling her hus.
band from the adjoining room t.
come and shoot the negro. A young
er son, Harper. in the meantime, ran
in with his little single-barrel gun
and fired once at the negro, but in
his, excitement the shot went wild,
crashing through a bureau mirror.
The negro then left the place and
fed from the scene.
Messengers we're sent to the con-
vict camps at Tarver for the track
dogs and they were put on his track,
following the negro for many miles
He was trailed along the Georgia
Southern road toward Valdosta, but
disappeared il Grand bay, where
the pursuers followed him. They
were close upon his heels when they
entered the bay.
After several hours in there, the
pursuers came out without the negro
They stated, however, that he would
not make any more midnight raids
They did not say so. but it is the
general belief that the negro either
resisted arrest and was killed, or he
was given speedy courtmartial and
received the verdict of death.
The affair happened in a section
that does not believe much in bur
Iening court dockets with such cas-
es when the right man can l,e

It was to the committee Of one
hundred OF the Lakes-to-the-Goii
Deep Waterway Association, headed
by Governor Deneen, Of Illinois, who
were received by the President in
the East room of the White HOUSE,
that he made this declaration.
Governor Deneen had presented a
copy Of resolutions adopted by the
Association, and made few remarks
to which the President replied as
follows:
81 have felt, as the Governor has
well put it, that no more important
service could be rendered to this
country than the building of .-e
Panama Canal between the Atlantic
and the Pacific, and one thing I am
proud Of in connection with the
building Of that canal is that there
has not been legitimate cause for
the breath Of scandal connected with
any feature Of the proceeding We
have cause to be ashamed Of Only
one set Of Americans who have been
guilty Of Infamous falsehood con-
corning the acquisition of the prop
erty and the construction Of the

them reached. If not, at any rate

known are at the disposal of each

any one in Congress or Of all Con-
gress If they wish to see them.
*'Next only in Importance from
physical standpoint to building the
Panama Canal comes the question Of
developing the use Of our own water
ways. That must be done by the
policy Of irrigation at the headwa-
ters up in the arid regions; and
where you come from, gentlemen, /:
is to be done by making our coast
take big loop in from the Gulf ,.
Mexico to the Great Lakes, and we
will see that the work is done; and
no Work could have been done from
beginning to end more honesty
or more efficiently"
