TURN OUT AND VOTE.
w. j. Bryan Urges Democrats of the
South to Pon Full Vote.
Lincoln. Nehr.. Oct. 20. 1908.

Lincoln, Nebr., Oct. 20, 1908.
Mr.. H. G. Folk, Bamberg, S. c.
Dear Sir: The committee has thought
it wise to arrange dates for me in the
doubtful States, and therefore have
not had time to visit the States
known to be certainly Democratic.
wish you would explain the matter
to our Democrats there and assure
them that my absence is not due tc
lack of interest in them, but to the
fact that can serve them better by
helping to win a national victory
than by visits which, while pleasant
would not add to our strength in the
electoral college.
/, shall visit the South after the
election. The favorable reports we
are receiving lead me to hope that
I may come as the President-elect
and share with your people in the
rejoicing that will follow triumph
for the Democratic principles and
policies.
/ need not say anything in explana-
tion or in support OF our platform
Your people are acquainted with the
issues and understand the import
tance of a national Democratic vic
tory. I wish, however, you would
impress upon the voters of your Sec
ton the necessity OF polling the larg-
est possible vote in the Southern
States. There are two reasons for
this, First, every vote cast in the
South adds to the popular vote in
the nation, and we need a popular
majority as well as majority in the
electoral college. A popular majori-
ty will give public endorsement and
q moral support which will be need
ed in carrying out the policies out
lined in the platform.
Our Democratic vote in the South
usually falls several hundred thous-
and short of what it might be, mere
ly because the Democrats do not feel
that their votes are necessary IN
their States and congressional con-
tests. I wish you would make II
your business to see that every Dem.
ocratic vote in your section Is polied
this year that we may have the en-
couragement and support that pop
ular majority will give.
Their is another reason why your
people should be sure to vote, even
though they may feel that their votes
are not necessary to elect their To-
cal candidates. The small vote In
the South is constantly used by those
Republicans who talk about the re-
duction Of Southern representation
in congress. The larger the vote,
the less the influence Of such an ar
gument. Please assist us to the ex-
tent of your ability in the enort TO
secur, the largest Democratic vote
ever polled in the South and the larg-
est Democratic majority ever record
ed for the national ticket.
: Thanking you for the assistance
YOU have given us in the campaign,
: am Very truly yours,
w. J. BRYAN.

Chicago, May 5.-Thc strange
double life led by Mrs. S. Lemuel
Schlotter ended today in an inde-
terminate sentence to the state peni-
tentiary.
In Glencoe, a fashionable suburb,
Mrs. schlotter was known as the
wife of wealthy jeweler. Her au-
tomobile, her horses and carriages,
her silks, jewels and furs were the
envy of. the Glencoe matrons.
Down in the Pearia- street levee
district Mrs, Schlotter was known
equally well, but undse another
name. There she was known as
Leona Garrity, the proprietress of a
resort, where young girls were lured
into White slavery.
Finally Belle Winters, a little t6-
year-old grit told the police a story
which led to the arrest of Leona
Garrlty. Then Il came out that

Glencoe were one and the same per-

THE ELECTIONS

Shall the People Rules" Yes,
the people shall rule, judging BY
the verdict they pronounced in
favor of Taft and Sherman on
Tuesday last. II was a veritable
landslide, the republicans carrying
every northern state except Ne
braska, and at time OF going TO
press Missouri is in doubt and
Maryland is claimed in republican
column by small majority. The
republicans also carried New York
City. Hughes in New York is a
winner, and Cannon is reelected.
All the New England states elect
republican governors. Vermont 5
plurality for Taft is about 10000.

college is I29 sure, and may reach

LEGISLATIVE EOTER.

tercity Park last Wednesday and saw ID
fine foot ball game between Norwich
University and Vermont University
| Both these universities receive state aid
aud it was very proper that the legisla-
tors should be given a chance to See
them in action.
One senator made an impassioued plea
for the adjournment over election Oh the
grounds that Tuesday was the turning
day of crisis in which our country has
been plunged. He declared it to be
very true Vermonter's duty to 60 home
and vote. If Vermont should happen to
have gone democratic his position wonld
have been justified.
Senator Gleeson of Caledonia favored
the adjournment because he believed 1t
the duty of each member to consult with
his constituents occasionally, aud he
could see more of them on election day
than on any other day. In view Of the
fact that the Senate was not especially
needed here for day or two, his remarks
we're sensible.
