1t ought to be a reasonable cause
for throwing any member out who
will raise mongrel chickens, stock or
crops. In fact, no good Union man
will have mongrels of any sort.

Grafton Thacker, young farmer,
who lives four miles west of Mammoth
Spring, went to the home of Henry
Guscheke Saturday and demanded to

charged him with having given false
testimony in divorce suit. Guscheke
is said to have admitted making the
statement, whereupon Thacker attack
ed him with Ratchet, inflicting a bad
wound in the arm with the first blow

point below the eyes with the second.
Guscheke is still living.

In a fight which took place Sunday
evening about five miles from Sny-

KERN FINISHES UP
 STATE CAMPAIGN

Evansville. Ind, October 31.--A big rally here tonight brought to a close the six days campaign of John W. Kern in this state. The democratic vice presidential candidate, tired and hoarse from trav- cling all day through the southern coun- ties and speaking in the open air, reached the city from Mount Vernon so late to- night that he was obliged to cut his speech short to catch a train for Indian apolis.
 At Rockport the candidate urged h;s hearers to wear no party collars.
 To the worklngmen, who ch' Ply com- posed the crowd, he
 When you look about you and see the thousands of your fellow men stand ing firmly under the leadership of Comp CTS and Mitchell, take courage and vote your convictions, regardless of any in- huence brought to bear upon you"
 MT. Kern left late tonight for Indian apolis. He will go to Toledo, O., tomor- row to begin the final days campaign in that state.
 MT Kern declared that he was more confident after his observations during the past week of democratic success in the state at the approaching election

WHO WILL VOTE AND WHO
 WILL NOT VOTE TUESDAY

Washington. October 31.-(Special) )- women will vote in this general election in four states-Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming-a fact which campaign man agers in the various national headquarters in Chicago of the democratic, republican, prohibition and socialist parties have taken into consideration
 These states representation in the cleo toral college amounts to Il votes out or 4ss. Voting in all states but three will be by the Australian system, Virginia and the Carolinas having retained the old system By no means all the men of 2f in the country are qualified voters, for the varying laws of the states not only bar convicts in the prisons in most cases, but place other restrictions on suffrage that become exceedingly important in presidential years.
 Michigan bars Indians and "duelists and their abettors." Mississippi bars delin- ouent taxpayers and also felons and the insane. Missouri, Massachusetts and few other states penalze pauperism by taking away the voting privilege Nevada brings up the struggle of north and south by barring from suffrage "unamnestied and Confederates against the United States" as well as Indians and the Chinese. Yer mont also bars eX-Confederates." Ma tive Indians" are voters by Oklahoma laws Ohio refuses to let United States soldiers vote as does North Dakota, Texas and few other states.

OHIO WILL GIVE
 BRYAN BIG VOTE

Columbus O., October 31.--W. l.. Find ley, democratic state chairman, said to- night:
 ''The result of the battle may be fore casted with more assurance and cer- tanty at this hour than could that of any previous campaigns at a similar pe- riod. Of the known vote from a poll of expressed preferences, Mir. Bryan has a decisive plurality in the state of Ohio. Not even the most ardent republican be- lieves that the silent vote is Taft vote. I have every reason to know that such a vote is for Bryan and I am very deliberate and extremely confident when I predict that his plurality in Ohio will exceed 5O,OOO. l shall not be sur prised at any figures beyond that.
 We shall elect a legislature demo- cratic in both branches which will send James E. Campbell to the United States senate
 We shall elect majority of the con gressional delegation from Ohio.
 Hudson Harmon will be elected by an overwhelming majority and committed to root out all graft in state affairs and prosecute the work to conclusion which the people ordered prosecuted three years ago when they elected John M Pattison. All efforts of the opposition to divert the attention of the people from the real issue of simple honesty in public affairs have failed and with Judge liar mon will be swept into the state house with the entire democratic state ticket"

All the time the red fire and brass ban6s were Kept busy and the crowd about lac sta- 'ira e1st1iy sought tha4Faf'war tttesfRs h offices to hear the latcs, bulletin of tho whereabouts of tffe Bryan train
 An excited person shortly before g o'clock telephoned the police an erron- eous report that MT. Bryan had arrived and that an attempt had been made to blow up his train. Fifty detectives in patrol wagons were hurried to the scene and after an inspection of the tracks, a short distance from the station. found that some harmless torpedoes had been exploded. The presence of the detectives caused much excitement in the crowds.

WEST VIRGINIA
 MAY 60 FOR BRYAN

Wheeling, W. Va. October 31.-The state chairmen, both republican and democratic, express confidence in carrying West Vlr- ginia next Tuesday. Chairman Mathews of the republicans predicts exceeding 2O,- 000 plurality for Taft, as much for Glass cock for governor, and the election of all i've congressman and the legislature by large majority,
 Vice Chairman George Neal of the dem- ocratic headquarters declares that there will be landslide for Bryan.
 Bennett, for governor he says will win by a larger majority. He also predicts three of the five congressman will be democrats
 Non-partisan estimates make the state close as between Taft and Bryan, with the chances favoring the republican caudi- date, while it is likely the democratic state candidate will win by "a small plurality.
 The democrats may elect congressmen fin the Second and Fourth districts.

NIGHT RIDERS TRYING TO
 SECURE THEIR RELEASE

Union City, Tenn, October Sl.-(Spec- ial.)-Instead of one alleged night rider attempting to secure his release from the custody of the military Monday morning, there will be two petitions presented to Judge J. E. Jones. The second petition was filed this morning by Pinkney Mar shall, a brother of Ed Marshall, who is charged with taking part in the mur- der of Captain Rankin.
 Governor Patterson, before leaving here this afternoon for Nashville, held final conference with General Caldwell Judge w. H. Swiggart and F. w Moore, the states attorneys, upon the campaign here next week against the night riders. The principal scene of action has once more been shifted from Camp Memo in inc night riders territory to Union City, and next week will mark an effective progress in the investigation of Captain Rankin's murder.

ROckefeIIer'S Endorsement Gives
 Scare to t, ]. P
4 CONFERENCE IS CALLED
Frank B. Kellogg Talks With Roose- welt and Is Asked to Get Up State ment to Offset Effect of
 Rockefeller's Break.

Washington, october A(Special.l-- announcement that he will support the candidacy of Judge Taft continues to be the political sensa tion of Washington and the entire east, but with it all comes the realization that it Is in the great middle west and west where the republican party will lose thousands of votes b. the attitude of the Standard Oil magnate.
 The declaration of Mir Rockefeller has almost irreparably injured the re- publican cause. The statements of MT. Bryan and MT. Mack size up the situa tion accurately and the interview with W. c. Rudd, the brother-in-law of MT. Rockefeller, in Cleveland today stating that he had heard the magnatc fre- quently speak in favor of the candidacy of MT. Taft simply throws a bomb into the midst of those who were so skepti- cal as to harbor a doubt as to the posi- tion of the head of the Standard Oil company.
 The west always has been peculiarly sensitive to corporation influence. and while it has often gone to the extreme of populism and demagogy there has been a middle course of virulent and just criticism for corporations attempt- ing to control elections. n grea cen ters, such as New York city. the Rock efeller statement will influence few votes. but in upper New York and through the country districts in gen eral MT Rock siellsrs position offera little encouragement to the Taft man agera.
 No one realizes ! unenviable position
 in which the party as been placed better than the Presiden Carly today he called into conference Frank B. Kellogg and he has been directed to prepare a statement of all the legal actions the government has taken against the Standard Oil. But as Representative Gillespie of Texas says. the government has never proceeded against the trust a monopoly, and the Standard oil is well satisfied to maintain existing conditions.
 After his interview with Kellogg the President gave out a statement to the ef feet that the Rockefeller interview was ! result of collision between him and the democratic managers, and then MT. Hitchcock, upon the direction of the President, gave out a statement in New York that the Standard oil had not con- tributed to the republican campaign fund. Ordinarily such a statement would carry full face value. but as it is it will not have the slightest weight.
 It has been just four years ago to the day that Alton B. Parker made charges of bribery and corruption against the re- publican campaign managers and the President characterized his charges as ''monstrous and denied them in toto. Afterward it was proved by the Presi- dents own letters and those of MT. Har- riman that Parker had spoken truthfully. In the light of this humiliatns exposure. White House statements are so discounted as to amount to no more than the fulmin- ations of a ward heeler. w. s.

The grand jury adjourned this after noon until Wednesday. as General Cald- well will be engaged in the habeas corpus cases Monday, and no work will be done Tuesday, election day. Under Cover nor Patterson's instructions the actual taking of evidence in the murder case of Captain Rankin will. in all probability. come Thursday At the present time there are 66 prisoners held at Camp Nemo and of this number 15 are accused of being inn plcated in the crime. the others being merely detained as witnesses.
 An important step was taken by Gov ernor Patterson before leaving here to- day which shows that conditions here are beginning to reach normal state There is no longer any danger of an attack by night riders. Governor Patterson is thoroughly familiar with the state of af- fairs and feels that the people of Union City are absolutely immune from any danger whatever.
