Long Distance Campaigning Record
for 1908 Broken by Vice
Presidential Candidate.

EVANSVILLE. Ind. October 3.-Long-
distance records for stump speaking dur
ing the present campaign were shattered
today by James S. Sherman, the republi-
can vice presidential nominee, and Rep
resentative Nicholas Longworth, who
travelled through two states. The party
journeyed almost from the Mississippi
river across the northern part OF Illinois.
thence south from Chicago to Egypt
the so-called democratic stronghold. wind
ing up day of real old-fashioned cam
paigning here in Indiana tonight.
Although Mr.. Sherman competed with
brass bands and the din of steam loco
motives. which at times forced him to put
on extra pressure, his voice at the close
of his last meeting was strong.
How About PubIicityP
At Mount Vernon, Ind, there was an in
terruption when one Of the auditors ques-
toned Mr.. Sherman regarding the party S
attitude on the publicity Of campaign
funds. Mr.. Sherman replied that the re-
publican party has selected a treasurer
of the national committee who lives in
the state of New York. where there is a
law compelling the publication of cam
paign contributions, while the demo-
cratic party has chosen man to handle
the campaign funds from Oklahoma,
which had no such regulations.
AS rule, however, good-natured
crowds greeted the speechmakers. who
We're Familiarity hailed as Sunny Jim
and Mick"
The first speech of the day was at Mat
toon. At Salem. William J. Bryan s
birthplace, the party left the train and
were conveyed in automobiles past the
house where the democratic leader was
born. In a brief address Mr.. Sherman
paid a high tribute to Mr.. Bryan, saying
Hear These Nice Things.
If as boy, if in his young manhood,
William j. Bryan manifested the same
lovely traits of character, If he was the
same kindly, thoughtful generous person
that he was as young man n Congress,
he must indeed have many friends in this
community
AT Mount Vernon, ILL.,, Mount Vernon.

speeches We're made both by Mr.. Sherman
and Mr.. Longworth. Tariff and labor
issues were principally discussed by the
vice presidential candidate. A reception
committee composed of the leading re-
publicans of this city met Mr.. Sherman s
party at Mount Vernon, and escorted

tonight. Mr.. Sherman in his address
replied to Mr.. Bryans question, Shall
the people rule?'

LOSES HIS BRIDE
OFF ON THE BRINY FOR EUROPE
WITH HER MA.
Clever Coup of Mrs. Speer Leaves
Atlanta Groom on Pier After
Ship Sails.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 3.-Mrs. William
A. Speer, with her daughter Sylvia. who
eloped Tuesday last from Atlanta. Ga,
with Russell J. Thomas. a chauffeur,
sailed today for Europe on the Cunarder
Campania.
According to a friend of the family the
plans taken to separate the young people
we're elaborate. When Miss Speer and
Thomas decided to get married. according
to this friend, they went to Thomas
father and asked his aid. Because of the
youth of the couple they could not secure
q license themselves, but Mr.. Thomas
said that he was Hiss Speers guardian.
and so the license was gotten. The young
folks then wasted no time in having the
ceremony performed and took the first
train to Charlotte, n. c., where they reg
istered at the Hotel Selwyn.
When Mr.. Speer heard of the marriage
he pressed his partner, r. K. Rambo, into
service, as he was sick in bed Mr..
RambO went to Gov. HOke Smith and
got a warrant for the arrest and eXtradi-
ton of Miss Sp1er. and then left with
Mrs. Speer on special train for Char
lotte. When Mrs. Speer got to the hotel
she resorted to strategy. and told the
young folks that If they returned home all
would be forgiven. They consented at
once to go back and Thursday night lett
again for home.
Yielded to the Soft Voice.
Just before the train pulled into At
lanta, however, Mrs. Speer persuaded
young Thomas that it would be better
If he went on for the night to a point
further south, SO that some of the
notoriety would be avoided and that he
could return Friday.
Thomas consented. and as soon as he
left the train the rest of the party en-
barked hurriedly for the north. They
came straight through to the Hotel AS
tor, New York, where they had supper
Friday and then went to a boarding g
house at AS West 31th street to remain
until the steamer sailed today. Thomas
in the meantime learned of the coup
through telegram which his wife had
bribed Il Pullman porter to send and
hurried after his bride. He arrived here
today, but too late to catch the party
before they sailed.
d 1t was said that he and Mr.. Rambo
had conference atsthe Hotel AstOr this
afternoon, but Mr.. Rambo said that if
there was anything further to be said
on the matter it would be given out by
Mr.. Speer. Whether or not Thomas re-
manned in this city is not known.

that he is not so foolish as to be
