New York, April 28.-The French
cruiser d Estres is in port from Hay
ii, where the ship was sent at the
time of the recent attempted revolu-
ton to look after French interests.
officers of the ship have many stor-
les to tell of the revolution.
While at Port au Prince, the
d Estres was the haven for eight
refugees, and the officers told of the
horrors of the nocturnal execution
on March l of the group of men ac-
cused of attempting to incite revolu-
ton a few days after President Nord
Alexis had quelled the rising against
the administration. There were not
enough graves for all who were shot,
and one prominent merchant had to
sit and watch the soldiers dig his flu
ture burial place. AS the firing squad
was in a hurry, the grave was dug
only of sufficient size to allow him
to be buried with arms and knees to-
gether. The bullets failed to kill him
and he was tumbled into the hole.
which was yet too small. Then the
grave diggers pushed him in with
the shovels, and while they were COW
ering him with earth he sought to
protest by moving his hands.

WHERE DOES THE SENATOR
STAND?

While the question of prohibition
is not and should not be an issue in
the present contest between the
trusts and the people there are, new
both sides of that great moral ques-
ton who would like very much to
know just where Senator Bailey now
stands, and where we may expect to
find him when that question comes
up for consideration.
Less than two years ago, in defin-
ing his position in the United States
senate, Mr.. Bailey declared that he
had once supported a constitutional
amendment for state prohibition and
would do the same thing again. At
Houston, during last November, to
German newspaper man, and speak
ing for publication, the senator said
that he was opposed TO state prohi-
bition. Is the senator trying to play
both sides of the prohibition ques-
ton, or is he endeavoring to keep
that question out of the present cam
paign?
DR.. G. c. Rankin, of Dallas, is one
of the friends of Senator Bailey who
might throw some light on this mat
ter. but his most recent contribu
ton to the press is more confusing
than all the rest DR.. Rankin says:
"A few weeks before Senator Bal
gin his present campaign I was told
upon what ! regarded as reliable
authority that when the senator
reached Texas he was going to an
nounce against state prohibition and
to advise the people to continue TO
meet the evils of the liquor traffic
by continuous application of the
principle of local option. This alarm
ed me, and / wrote him at Washing
ton. telling him of what l had heard
and then / proceeded TO advise him
to let the question of prohibition
alone; that it was a question in no
way connected with his present fight
and that if he proposed 70 do as | had
been informed it would certainly be
unwise. In reply, he wrote me from
Washington, his letter bearing date
of March 7, 1908 Much of the letter
was a friendly expression of his feel
ing toward me, and he also answer

There is no getting around the
fact that the campaign now closing
has put some people on the run who
were never known to get out of a
walk before, and while we have all
got up steam lets resolve to keep it
up. Not over politics, for that will be
dead horse after Saturday, but in
the interest of our town and county.
For nearly a month politics has alb
sorbed public interest to the neglect
of everything else, what we want to
do now is to let our interest in our
town and county absorb us to the ex-
clusion of politics-at least for a
while.

Mississippi for Taft.

Jackson, Miss, April 2S.-On the
eve of the Mississippi republican
state convention, it is indicated that
the Roosevelt faction is in control
and that tomorrow's convention will
send an instructed delegation to Chi
cago for William H. Taft An attempt
by the negro wing of the party to
create controversy over the
Brownsville affair is frowned upon
by the white leaders, who have gone
on record as indorsing most hearth
ly" the administration of President
Roosevelt. Congressional conventions
were held today in the second and
seventh districts.

SPLIT IN ALABAMA.
Three Factions VIII Send Delegates
to the Chicago Convention.

Birmingham, Ala, April Is
That Alabama, the first state on the
roll call in the national convention,
will be split into three republican
factions, all of which will send con-
testing delegations, is made evident
by the expressions of the delegates
who arrived here today for the Da-
wilson or INSTRUMENTATION con-
vention of the party. The convention
will be held tomorrow and was call
ed by j. w. Davidson, who is the
leader of the anti-Rooseve1t faction
of the republicans in this state. He
was expelled from the state executive
committee by the Roosevelt faction
because he attended an anti-Taft
meeting Davidson has sought the
support of "all republicans who are
opposed to the party being controlled
by Office holders.
The Roosevelt faction, led by
State Chairman j. 0. Thompson, in
ternal revenue collector for Alaba-
ma, will hold it's convention on May
G. Charles Scott, the national COM
mitteeman from Alabama is for Fair
banks. He will probably lead a third
delegation to Chicago.
The 'Lily-white" and the BLACK
and-tan" elements of the party also
may play a part in this peculiar con-
test. The negro voters will have no
utilization with the Taft outfit. and
Scott, it is pointed out, may derive
much support fro mthem. While the
colored voters as rule prefer Fora
ker. they would be more apt to flock
with the Fairbanks crowd than with
Tafts emissaries.
For the real thing in debatable
ground and furnishing a hot three
cornered contest for seats in the Chi
cago convention, Alabama it seems
easily takes the palm.

my position on the question of pro-
hibition some six or seven months

contest such as this and when,
therefore, | could not have been

vote of any man. BY that statement

Seven months ago Senator Bailey
gave it out in the German press at
Houston that he was against state
prohibition, and there is no doubt in
our mind that is just exactly the way
Mr. Bailey intended for his San An
tonic audience to understand him.
In view of these facts do you think
Senator Bailey is keeping the prohi-
bition question out of the present
campaign? Does it not look very
much like he was doing just what
he says he has been charged with
doing-picking two or more strings
on the prohibition banjo, and choos-
ing the string according to the com
plexion of the community in which
he then is? If he is truthful in his
contention that prohibition should
be kept out of this contest why does
he avoid the question in prohibition
districts and then, in anti-prohibition
districts indicate by his language
that he is anti? We want to play the
game fair, but we also want Senator
Bailey to play the game fair.

You owe it to yourself to hear
both sides of the question. On "a

The boy answered correctly, but failed
