AustraIla,s Wild Oysters.

Oysters are sometimes regarded as

considered savage. A Queensland
Judge, however, has decided that they
are wild beasts. Before royal COM

witness stated that eight years ago he
had laid 100000 shells in the neigh

THEY SPEAK FOR HIM.


While Mr. ChanIer is going about the state
making speeches which say nothing at all upon
the real issues OF the day. the prominence and
activity of certain persons and representatives
OF certain interests give to his candidacy an un-
mistakable meaning. Murphy and Conners are
conspicuous in It, and the voters of this state
can make no mistake about what they mean
However silent Mr. Chanler may be on boss

may utter the politicians conventional prom

are Murphy and Corners unrepudiated- The
people know what the consultation with Con

understand what the taking of q nomination at
those bosses hands means.
They know what is the meaning Of the rails
ing of funds for Chanler's campaign in that
section of the financial world which is inter
ested in traction and other public service cor
porations They know the significance Of the
contributions of the gambling element Of Wall
Street in his behalf They appreciate the mean
ing of the prominence or the spokesInen OF
Ryan and Belmont at the Rochester convention
and of the drafting there under their supervision
of platform TO which every traction looter
in the state could give his approval. They ap-
preclate the significance of the prominence as
a Chanler supporter of Murphy, who represents
RYAN in politics the presiding officers OF the
Rochester convention represent him in law.
They know what rallies to Mr.. Cfanler's sup

for the Chanler of two years ago, the stTident
disciple Of Hearst. They know. why he IS
favored by gas and traction interests which
would like to see the Public Service commits
sions wiped out and which desire a return 10
those days Of Jefersonian simplicity when no
public regulation barred stoCk-watering and
when men grew rich by bankrupting street rail-
road companies. There can be no mistake about
the occasion that brings ali these old Jefer-
sonlans back into the fold They are not the
kind of men who care for Mr.. Bryan's brand of
Democracy. Aside Of course, from the pro-

GEORGIA SERVES NOTICE.

Georgia has Just joined the group Of Demo
cratic states which disfranchise the negro by
imposing on him voting and registration tests
that do not bear equally on the white voter
Here is the list Of commOnwealths in which the
negro does not get fair deal as an elector: VIZ
cinia North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and LOUISIANA
In Maryland and West Virginia the Demo
cratic party is pledged to put the same unequal
system in force, so that If those states ever
become permanently Democratic the negro VIII
cease to be a factor in their politics
The states which have passed disfranchise-
ment laws have the sympathy of the Democratic
organizations in Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma,
Arkansas Missouri, Delaware and kentucky,
and were there TO be a revival Of Democratic
ascendancy in states like New York, Indiana
Ohio and New Jersey the determination of the
South to eliminate the negro as voter would
be reinforced and heightened. Can any negro
citizen view such a menace with eqUanimlty!
Mr.. Bryan IS seeking negro support in the
North and West But he declines 10 say
word in opposition to the theory and practice
of disfranchSement to which the Southern
Democrats are strongly committed. The negro
who votes for him votes to put the South again
in control of national affairs and to make its
influence paramount IN the nation. In other
words he votes to imperil his own right to vote
and through his vote, to defend his interests and
status as a citizen.
