GIRL WANTS MOTHER
KEPT IN PRISON

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 19.-Gover-
nor T. M. Campbell was about to
pardon Mrs. Inez Caraway, who is
serving a life sentence for the
murder of her husband, when he
received a letter from the wom-
ans daughter, age II, who is OPP
posed to the pardon of her mother.
1t was a most unnatural plea
for a daughter to make, but the
governor was forced to take cog
nizance of it and Mrs. Caraway's
name has been dropped from the
list of Christmas pardons which
the governor had made up.
The woman has been in prison
eight years. 1t Is claimed that
she is in serious physical condi-
ton and that unless she is given
her liberty soon she will die.
These facts were submitted to her
daughter, but the latter was OBJ
durate and would not consent to
withdraw her, protest.

Grating the Auditorium and the Au-

don the Auditorium and to concen-
trate all the business of the two
biz hostelries on Michigan avenue
into the Annex, which was recently
enlarged to double it's former ca
pacity.
The reason for this is that the
Auditorium has for the last few
years been paying only l per cent
and even less on the investment.
The Annex, on the other hand, has
earned $250,000 annually for its

The Hartford Republican raises Ii
head up above the tall grass int
which it was recently so ruthlessl
pitched by the Ohio county conven
ton and the Republican State Con
vention TO remark:
1t is Just too bad. Repub-
licans won't do to suit the
Hartford Herald. 1t rides
"high-horse" because they, in
the Louisville Convention, de-
clared in favor of temperance
and morality. It seems to
have assumed the role of
chronic conn lainer.
Following This little brain-drip th
Republican breaks forth as follows:
The Republican State Con-
vention at louisville last week
was the most turbulent one
which has been held in years.
The Taft men were in COM
plete COM oil and gave little
consideration to Fairbanks
contests. However, the most
dIsgraceful action, and one
from which the party will not
recover for ten years, was the
turning down of Senator Brad
ley and the election to leader
ship Of VIM. Marshall Bullitt
who never registered as a
Republican In his life. 1t must
have been a keen dlsappoint-
ment to Bradley, especially
coming from the source which
it did, but It will injure the
party much more than 1t will
the Senator.
Then, as II to cover the whole argu-
ment In Its usual consistent CD way,
in commenting on what The Herald
said about Mr.. Bradley's name being
taken down and negTo's name put
up in it's place as delegate, from Ken
lucky to the Republican National Con-
vention, 1t says:
We have no apology to Of
fer for what actually trans
pired at this convention, In
which respect we are unlike
the aforesaid contemporary,
for it defends the actions of its
party right or wrong. But
We do resent the statement
that a negro, whose intellect
ual capabilities the Herald
shysters probably approach in
but a slight degree, takes the
place Of Mr.. Bradley.
All, there, neighbor! Where gottest
thou that goose look? Verify, thou
seemest beside thyself with a burning
desire to call somebody bad names
and make unbecoming comparisons
Why this unseemly spirit? Why
this vulgar appellation? Seest moi
that thou condemnest us in the first
paragraph for criticising the Repub'
lican State Convention and that thou
dost the same thing-only wuss-in the

hast no apologies to make for any OF

New potatoes are on the market
But this is poor consolation for the
Hartford Republican, which is still suf-
ferlng from a terrible spell of political
indigestion, caused by the cold po-
tato handed it by its two party con-
yentions lately.
