Letters 10 Prove Their CIaim.


Laporte Ind. June 1S-The attorneys
for the defense Of Ray Lamphere. under
indictment for completely in the Guinness
murders. held a conference to-day which
continued until tonight.
The result was the announcement that
the defense OF Ray Lamphere would in
troduce sensational evidence. proving
that Mrs. Guinness was alive after the FIRE
which burned her charnel house on the
morning Of April Is. This is the defense
which the State must combat in its fight
to send Lamphere to the gallows.
Attorney Worden this morning received
copies Of several letters written by Mrs.
Guinness 20 the Arkansas man. who will
produce a letter written by the murder
ess under date of May 3. They breathe OF
the tender love which she knows will
exist when he visits her Lakeside home"
The letters threw additional light on
Mrs. Guinness methods OF Turing her VIC
tins 10 the house Of mystery The first

for writing without an Introduction.
You have been recommended to me as
an honest man, and one whom 1 can

in carefully chosen words the beauty Of
her home.
But there is a 5000 mortgage. and
want a husband with money TO help me
raise fhis mortgage II you can come
to me. bring 5000 with you. OF if you

To get down 10 plain facts. a great
many Of the leaders now gathered here
fear that the people. having deter

any hedging in the Republican platform,
that a going back is intended. and that
therefore. they may prefer Bryan and
/ Democracy. with all their folbles and
faults, 10 the taking cf any risk OF a
going back or a halt on the part of the
new Repubucanlsm.
You can't hear in a Chicago hotel cor
ridor to-day any expressions OF doubt as
20 what the people want The leaders
not only have become convinced OF the
desires of the voters. but they have made
7 the voters desires theirs. and Il actually
seems as II party leadership and party
( following were one.
4 good many Senator'S and Represent
atves are in Chicago. Congress ad-
, Journed less than two weeks ago. but
these men have had Il chance TO go home
and 10 hear what their constituents had
I 10 say 10 them. IL wasn't altogether a
'do-nothing' Congress. though Il would
have been II the closing hours had not
been such extremely busy ones.
Congress Leaders Scared.
The Senators and Representatives were
the last Of the Republican leaders 10 be-
come convinced that the people meant to
go ahead. They were tied by tradition
and ruled by a Congressional bossism.
They have come TO Chicago with the last
session only two weeks behind them. and
they seem TO be among the converts. and
10 be so thoroughly converted that back
sliding is not even a possibility. Presi-
dent Roosevelt did what he could with
Congress. The people in two short weeks
seemed to have done more.
There Will be a strong platform. and
doubtless there will be two strong men
10 stand on II. Even II by chance one
known as reactlonary should be named
as the companion or the progressive Taft,
II is absolutely certain that in case ac-
cident should put the reactionary in the
first place OF power he would not dare
use II, except as the voters wanted him
10 use IT,
There is a strong feeling that Bryan is
going 10 give the Republican party
hard fight, and there is an equally strong
feeling. made apparent by the men now
in this city. that every preparation must
be made 70 give Mr. Bryan more Of a

fed, they say. But II has Just occurred
TO these people that free transportation
by the railroads is no longer assured.
In 1886 the railroads issued miles OF
transportation. all good for free rides 20

vantage Of the opportunity thus afforded
TO hear the candidate of that year. Since
that time an anu-pass statute has been
enacted. And IL is enforced vigorously

Chicago, June IA dangerous bomb"
Will be thrown into the Republican ranks
at the outset Of the convention and some
limelight thrown on the devious, under
handed. willy ways Of the national COM
mlttee.' according 10 Robert II. Steven
son, manager for Senator Foraker.
Mr.. stevenson made a statement at the
Great Northern Hotel to-day. accusing
the national committee of star-chamber
methods, Of running the political roller
over three Foraker delegates, charging
them with illegality Of election and cast
ing out numerous Foraker delegates from
many Southern States.
Here is what he gave out for publica-
ton:
IF the nomination Of the Republican
candidate for the Presidency is 10 be-
stolen by the national committee for their
favorite. Taft, 1t must be stolen in the
daylight, and IN the open convention
There can be no lodging behind closed
doors. The public generally and the press
Of America must know what is being
done. The outrages perpetrated by the
national committee can be fully disclosed
only by an open fight on the convention
floor"
Claims Forty-siK Delegates.
He then amplifed his statement in the
following words:
I'VE have forty-six delegates and the
majority OF these are for Foraker We
are going 10 stick for the senior Ohio
Senator till the end Of the convention.
When We came 10 Chicago. We came
here prepared 20 fight for the four con-
tested districts from the State OF Ohio.
We are willing 20 submit everything. hon
orably convinced that we were right.
The national committee got behind
closed doors. thought II over. scanned
their eyes for Taft supporters, trying 10
kin the Foraker boom. and as result
astOunded the members Of the Foraker
support by giving two Foraker men, from
the Sixth district half a vote apiece.
while the Taft men. their contestants.
who were Evv=T legally elected, as we are
prepared 10 show. got the other half
Taft men. men elected in the State
without semblance Of legality, from the
Third Tenth. and Thirteenth districts,
were considered proper, and the roller
crushed our men.
Calls II Big Steal.
There hasn't been bigger steal perpe-
trated by a national committee IN my
recollection Of conventions. They think
We are going 10 let II go az that, but
they are mistaken. We won't II they
are so honorable a body as 10 disregard

contested delegates received from the
national committee and they viii be

The extract is as follows
GAMBLING IN COMMODITIES.
Before the Ohio legislature is a
bill called Shuler's bucket-shop bill
the object OF which is to suppress
gambling in commodities. AT a re.
cent open meeting Of the House com.
mittee having the bill In charge there
appeared a number Of so-called grain
dealers in opposition TO il, claiming
that it would hurt legitimate bust
ness.
One Of the speakers said that the
brokers and the speculative business

money to invest. He said that the

otherwise would have received, be.

ard prices. Let US assume that this
statement is true and the figures cor
rect. Mind. We do not say they are
true, or ask you 10 believe them true,
but lei as just assume that the farm
ers last year did actually receive
$500. 900. 900 more for their grain
than they otherwise would have re-
ceivsd. because the brokers "sup-
ported the market" What, then,
Is the logical conclusion OF this line
Of reasoning9 Il is this On ac-
count OF these same philanthropic
spectators. the consumers had "a
pay over $500, coo. 900 more than
they otherwise would have paid
Where. then. is there any justihca-
ton for their business1
In appealing for aid 20 the cupid.
ty Of the producers these grain gam.
blers seem 10 forget the existence Of
the consumers. We say seem, be-
cause they really have not forgotten.
In this case their argument is ad-
dressed 20 members Of the legisla-
ture from the rural districts. and
they are trying 10 throw dust in the
eyes OF the farmer. In appealing
10 representatives Of grain consumers
the statement would be reversed
and some other broker, or so-called
grain dealer, would appear before
the committee and say that consum-
ers last year saved $500, OOO. 900,
because the brokers kept prices
down. The statement is simply
adapted 10 the occasion. whatever
Il may be.
The argument itself Of the grain
gamblers Is conclusive evidence OF
the infamy Of their methods. What
right did they have 10 increase the
cost Of grain 10 consumers last year
by more than 100000. DOOR They
nov ask the producers aid agains,

wayman ground that they have bene-
fitted him by robbing the consumer.
As a matter Of fact, farmers are
not asking for the services Of specu.
lators 10 raise the prices OF their
products above the normal level.
On the other hand, consumers are
not asking them 10 beat dom the
prices Of farm products. Both pro-
ducers and consumers are willing for
the enactment and strict enforcement
Of effective laws against gambling
in farm products. Both know that
these gamblers are parasites on the
business Of the country. Il is safe
to say that about ninety-fve per cent
Of stock-exchange transactions are
nothing but bets that the price 20 up

SEES THE HAND WRIT
ING ON THE WALL.

sT do not want to encourage che
feeling between the city and country,
which ought never to exist, said Can
didate Jacobson last Friday evening
at a meeting of political workers in
Minneapolis
The remarks were greeted with ap-
plause by his hearers and the parti-
san newspapers took up the cry and
made the best of it. And well they
might, for it is the most sane utter
ance delivered by the Republican can
didate during this campaign.
However, it might not be amiss to
remind the voters of Minnesota that
the only occasion for rivalry between
the country and the city was kindled
and kept up by the demogosic appeals
of this same Jacobsen during his
strenuous days in the legislature
There was time when Jacobson
was a power with Minnesota lawmak-
ers. He didn't earn his leadership by
merit or by ability, but by sheer force
and threats.
