MACHINE AIMS TO
HURT CLEAN TICKET
Sullivan and Forbes Discover
That Verification Deputies
We're Not Qualified
Registrar Had Seen Mistake and
Disregarded Work Before
Herrin's Henchmen

Yesterday was great day at Herrin
headquarters. Tim Sullivan and Char
ley Forbes, chief operators in charge
of the anti-Dunne campaign beamed
with dissatisfaction.
The gumshoe men hired by Sullivan
to camp nthe trail of the good gov
ernment league for evidence of that
organizations diabolical plot to elect
a clean judicial ticket, made a great
discovery.
They discovered that two of the veri-
fication deputies employed by the
league to take the names of voters
sympathetic with the cause of good
government were not duly qualified and
registered electors of this city and
county. The names of these deputies,
they reported to Sullivan and Forbes,
were William A. Askew and Ralph
Conn.
Sullivan and Forbes went into execu-
tive session Immediately and began the
preparation. of another communication
to the district attorney. This docu-
ment will be ready some time today.
Inasmuch as Registrar zemansky
discovered several days ago that Depu-
ties Askew and Conn were not quail
fed to gather affidavits and disregarded
all the signatures which they had OBJ
tanned, the discovery made by the Her
rim machines gumshoe men may seem
tardy, not to say futile and inane. But
the Herrin henchmen move by mys-
terious ways their wonders to perform
and they are convinced that they have
delivered a crushing blow at the good
government league.
Askew and Conn were employed as
verifcation deputies in good faith and
were sworn in by the registrar under
the belief that they were qualified to
act. When it was found that they
were not qualified, their work was
disregarded by the registrar and the
good government league never dreamed
of protesting against this proper course
on the part of Zemansky.
Contributions to the cause of good
government are being received daily al
the headquarters of the league in the
Kamm building. All citizens who wish
to assist in the fight for Judge Dunno
may contribute whatever they see fit
and. any sum, however modest, will be
duly acknowledged.

them chant their songs over my grave.
and now they have to explain why 1T
happened that I am not dead.
With all the fervor that he could
muster up, W. j. Bryan, facing vast
assemblage in the Chautauqua audi
torium between Tama and Toledo in
this state, today delivered himself OF
this utterance. AT no time during the
present campaign has he spoken so
earnestly or with such vigor. His re-
mark followed bitter denunciation or
Judge Taft for refusing to agree TO
before election. No honest man and
no political party conducting an hon.

At Woodward he heaped ridicule on
the republicans by charging them with
taking credit for the growth of crops,
the shining of the sun and the bring
ing of rain. I'm fact" he said. they

gives a plausible excuse for voting the
republican ticket"
At Maxwell he compared the grant
ing of special privileges to a case of
poison in the human system. There
has been a poison at work in our pol
itics," he declared, "and today It's
manifestations are such that I believe
the American people are ready to ap-
ply the remedy. and that poison is the
poison of privilege, the poison of ia
voritism. Our government has been
run too largely in the interest of the
favored few"
Drawing large, cheering crowds all
day in the course of his travels through
the state, the democratic candidate
never in better form, hurled defiance
at his opponents and challenged them
to meet his arguments Fifteen
speeches and hand shaking with thou
sands constituted his days work, the
concluding speech being made here to-
night in the Auditorium, which was
filled to overhowing.
The keynote of his remarks here
tonight was that republican policies
meant disaster while democratic poll
cies meant prosperity. On this sub
ject he said:
The democratic party is absolutely
necessary to restore prosperity. The
republican party has had its chance
and it has failed. We are now in the
midst of depression for which natural
conditions furnish no excuse Arti-
ficial conditions are responsible for the
present prostration and those artificial
conditions originated in republican
policies"

diseases has been and still is pro-

remarkable memory and skill and all
contribute to the completeness of this
life-like scene. Well, one day, on my
Way home from Edinburgh to enjoy a
short vacation. l crossed the ferry at
Chanonry Point and walked over
these links to the village. The few
people happened to meet were in a
state of great excitment. The Laird S
only son and heir, young Ralph Sal
toun, had been missing for nearly
two days, and his whereabouts, some
two miles from the village, had been
discovered only a few hours before
my arrival. AS the story was told to
me, the boy had wandered away
among the hills, and, being overtaken
by severe storm, had sought shelter
under a ledge high up among the
crags.
Then torrents of rain had fallen,
and, finally, landslide had left the
boys retreat almost isolated from,
the surrounding crags.
Without a moments delay
rushed home, secured my rope and
my dirk and hurried to the scene.
Upon my arrival, was informed that
for some time the best cragsmen in
the village had been wearying their
limbs in vain efforts to rescue the lad.
From above, as you can see, the ledge
was unapproachable on account of the
great forehead Of crag that hangs
over it. So most of the rescuers were
trying to scale precipitous mountain
wall on the east side.
After looking over the ground, l
determined to try it from the oppo-
site side-that is, from the west, al
though, as you can see, the prospect
was not very encouraging. So l
swiftly made my way up this ravine
and was soon scrambling up the
smooth face of this clay parapet
which runs sheer up for one hundred
and fifty feet, and ends abruptly in
this razor-like ridge To all appear
ances this climb of mine was daring
and foolhardy feat, and the villagers,
who were spread out among the rocks
and on the seashore beneath, looked
up with establishment and alarm.
Even should l manage to reach the
crest of the ridge at which l was aim
ing, they thought my labor would
certainly be in vain, for between its
jagged summit and the boy there was
this gorge, fully twenty feet across.
However, with unfiinching courage,
persevered. l dug out step after step
with my dirk. Now l gained few
feet, then l slipped back few, but
still pressed upward with feverish
energy. At one time l would be fiat

Matchmaking Brothers.

As a matchmaker there is nothing
to excel the brother.
The role is not taken by him wit.
tingly, but he fills it to perfection, be-
cause of his innocent Inconsistencies.
The girl with a brother is certain
to meet his friends. He brings them
home from school when he is young
ster. and the sister, in her superior
way. joins in their sports.
OF course, the idea that anyone
should fall in love with a sister of a
boy never occurs to the boy himself.
Later in life he brings his fellow
student home from college. Then the
sister is a young lady. Still, that
anybody should fall in love with her
strikes the brother as absurd, IL It
strikes him at all. At last the truth
dawns upon him, and he resents it.
Suddenly he discovers that Tom,
Dick and Harry are not good enough
for his sister. They're all right for

any of them, you know. Why, that
chap Tom," etc.. etc.
But the brother no longer is an
equation in the matter. His part has
been done. There is not the slightest
use of opposition from him, for if il
has any effect this is just the opposite
from the intended effect.
The brotherless girl often has com.
paratively few chances to meet eligi.
bles. She cannot figure the formali-
ties that, with the aid OF brother,
are swept aside as though they did
not exist.
She may have scheming mother,
but scheming mother is not always
help, for the eye of discernment de-
cries in her the scheming mother-in-
law of the future.
Nor is girl who is thrust forward
as candidate for matrimony apt to
be accepted at the valuation attached
to her.
The bold girl. too, is at disad-
vantage. The willingness to marry.
made too evident, is construed into
an anxiety.

have to do any planning. Everything
is done for her, and all without con.
nivance or even knowledge that it is

other girls apparently as attractive
are passed by.
