our Illinois hero, it occurred to Hoke that the
very thing that was needed to keep Watson
from carrying Georgia, was to give the ne
groes whack at the man who had helped to
make the disfranchisement issue successful.
Happy thought!
Apparently, the white voters of Georgia
were going to give Watson a majority This
would never do. Such a thing could not pos
sbly hurt the state, but it might be to the
disadvantage of Hoke.
Therefore, rather than let the whites carry
the state to Watson the negroes must be per-
mitted to vote in the November election.
For that reason, and no other, Hoke slipped
a law through the legislature few weeks ago,
changing the Disfranchsement act of 1907, and
postponing the elimination of the negroes to
january, 1909.
Once more, the Democratic politicians need
Sambo-and they break pledges and change
statutes to get him. TO man up tree it
looks as though the Hokite politicians mean
to knock up the White Primary SYSTEM defeat
the Disfranchisement law, and keep the pur-
chaseab1e negroes where they can be used as
a balance of power.
The Hokite politicians are acting as if they
are not bound by the White Primary. In that
case, why have any more White Primaries?
And if it is right to bring Sambo back to UNI
pire the November election of 1908, why not
keep him for next time, also?
Hoke Smiths disaster of June, 1908, was
due to himself-TO HIMSELF ALONE. He
did not keep faith. He betrayed his allies and
plotted against the country counties. But so
great is his thirst for revenge on those who
opposed him this year, that he seems bent upon
desperate measures.
His plan appears to be to abolish the White
Primary defeat Disfranchisement, and to get
back in power on Sambo's shoulders.

ROOSEVELT PAYS
FORMER DEFENDER
Postmaster at Cripple Creek
Named for Second
Term.

The denomination of Daniel L. Sulli-
van was sent TO the Senate today as
Postmaster at Cripple Creek, Col. and
thereon hangs a little story. Sullivan s
original appointment made four years
ago was in the nature OF reward for
bravery.
In the summer of 1900 Colonel Roose-
Welt was making his famous Western
campaign trip. lie encountered cordial
treatment at almost all his stopping
places, but now and then he would run
across a town or city where the laWless
element seemed TO have the upper hand
during the excitement OF the OraIOFy
and political red-fire making. This was
especially noticeable at Cripple Creek,
where many OF the miners had little
use for Roosevelt. At one point in the
parade through the town, a big rOWdy
ran along the side of Colonel RoOse-
Vets carriage, using insulting and abr-
sive language, but very carefully Keep
Ing at a safe distance from the Rough
Riders fists
Few persons in the crowd noticed the
incident. but one OF them, Daniel l..
sullivan did. and. as soon as he heard
the language used by the hoOdlum.
worked his way through the crowd until
he could reach him. When he got with
ih striking distance Ii required but a
minute or two for punishment TO be
visited upon Colsnel RoOseVeIt's insult
er. He went down beneath Sullivan s
blows ia double quick order.
The President found out who his de-
fender was. in spite Of SulliYan's mod
csty, ard after he became President re-
membered his gallantTy by making him
postma ster. Sullivan has made such
good record In the place tfat the Presi-
dent. upon recommendation Of the Post
master General, has decided 10 give
him another four years.
