Long before the national conventions

CHEERS ROOSEVELT TILL CRAZY
Negro Loses Mind as Result Of q. o
2. Convention Enthusiasm.

SOuV0uSiOu susu0osOouss IA
Washington, Aug. 22.-Because he|
cheered too much for President Roose-I
velt at Chicago Charles E. Payne, a
local colored politician has been
committed to the insane asylum.
While the attempt was being made
to stampede the convention for Roose-
welt Payne stood with thousands Of
others on chairs frantically cheering.
At the climax, while enthusiastically
waving his hat, his throat strained and
his eyes bulging, something snapped
in his brain. Payne went to Chicago
mentally sound. When he< came back
he would strike a pose, one hand un-
der the first button of his coat, the
other outstrstched in approved ora
torical gesture, and rave of Roosevelt
Taft and the republican party His one
great absorbing sorrow was that
Roosevelt had not been renominated
and when he pondered ,on this heygrew
melancholy and morose.
The jury called to consider the case
required only a few minutes to decide
that Payne's political enthusiasm had
reached a stage where it would be
dangerous to permit him to wander
unrestralned.
