evidence of their intention TO conduct
their campaign in the coming contest
with vast sums of money wrestled
from favor seeking corporations, we
call attention to the fact that the re-

at Chicago refused, when the plank
was presented to it, to declare against
such practices.

RIGHTS OF STATES.
!" We assert eur confidence in and
admiration for the wisdom of the
fathers in so organizing the Federal
Government as to secure home rule to
the people OF each State, and we
pledge ourselves to combat, with un.

who are striving by uSurpatiou to
selze'the powers of the people of the
States for exploitation by the Federal
Government. Believing, with Jetfer-
SOD, ia the support Of the State gov
ernments in all their rights, is the
most competent administration for
our domestic concerns and the surest

dencies' and lin the preservation of
the general government in it's whole
constitutional vigor, as the sheet an

BANKING.

The panic of 1907 coming without any 1egti-
mate excuse, when the Republican party had for
a decade been in complete control of the Federal
Government, furnishes additional proof that ii is
either unwilling OF incompetent 10 protect the
interests of the general public. IT has so linked
the country to Wall Street that the sins Of the
spectators are visited upon the whole people.
While refusing to rescue the wealth producers
from spoliation at the hands of the stock gam
bers and spectators in farm products, it has de-
posted treasury funds without interS hnd with
out compensation in favorite banks Bhas used
an emergency for which it is largely 6ponsble
TO force through Congress a bill c1-hging the
basis of bank currency and invitiuae karket ma
nipulation, and has failed to give to the fifteen
million depositors Of the country protection in
their savings
We believe that i'll so far as the needs Of Com
merce required IN emergency currency. such cur.
rency should be issued, controlled by the Federal
Government and loaned on adequate security to
National and State banks. We pledge ourselves
TO legislation under which the National Banks
shall be requirea to establiSha guaranty fund
for the prompt payment of the depustors of any
insolvent National bank, under an equitable sys-
TEN which shall be available to all State banking
institutions wishing to use it.
We favor a postalsavings bank if the gllarau-
teed bank cannot be secured and that it be CON
Sututed so as to keep the deposited money III the
communities where it is established but we con.
demn the policy of the Republican party in pro
posing postal savings banks under plan of con
duct by which they will aggregate the deposits of
rural communities and re-deposit the same while
under Government charge in the banks of Wall
Street thus depicting the circulating medium of
the producing regions and unjusty favoring the
speculative markets.

EXPLOSION FATAL.
Large Bottle of Potash is Set Off
by Accident.

Minneapolis, Mich. 3.-Four-year-old
Clifford Ekelund, 1921 Twenty-second
avenue northeast, was killed, his 49,
year-old brother received injuries
which proved fatal and Conrad, aged
8, and Richard, aged IL, were seri-
ously though not dangerously hurt by
the explosion of a large bottle of po-
fash in the attic of their home short
ly before o'clock last night. The
roof of the house was rent asunder
by the force of the explosion.
Herman Ekelund, the Oldest of the
four injured, literally placed his life
at sacrifice to save his brothers.
The three boys had gone to the at
tic, where was kept the bottle of ex-
plosive left from the Fourth of July
celebration of last year. Realizing
their peril Herman rushed into the
garrett to seize the bottle of potash
But as he snatched it from the hands
of the baby, Clifford, the bottle drop
ped from his hand, it is supposed,
and the awful catastrophe followed.
The potash was extremely dry and
therefore easily exploded.

Frantic anarchist
IS shot DEAD
HE ATTACKS CHIEF OF POLICE
SHIPPYOF CHICAGO AND
is QUICKLY KILLED.
The Mailman Shoots Down the Young
Son of the Chief. The Coachman
is Slightly Wounded. The Mayor
is Threatened.

Chicago, March 3. = George M.
Shippy, chief of the Chicago polio ;
department, yesterday shot and killed
an anarchist who invaded his homo,
wounded the chief, shot the officials
son, Harry, in the lung, and severely
wounded the family coachman,
James Foley.
Harry Shippy is seriously hurt.
Foley probably will recover.
The chief was stabbed in the hand,
his wound being trivial.
Later an importunate officeseeker
who encountered Mayor Busse short
ly after the latter's return from the
Shlppy home caused cOmmOtlon In
the city hall, and the occurrence
gave rise to rumor that wholesale
plot had been made against city OIL
Gals, but this was at once denied.
Chief Shippy's assailant entered the
Shlppy home while the chief and his
son were alone in one of the rooms.
The man is said to have handed Chief
Shippy letter, which the chief open
ed and began to read. Almostimme-
diately the anarchist drew a revolver
and fired at Harry Shippy. The boy
fell to the floor and his father grappled
with the assailant.
Foley, attracted by the shooting,
rushed to his employers aid. AS the
servant entered the room the anar-
chist broke from the chiefs grasp,
aimed deliberately and shot Foley
twice.
Again the chief closed with the
man and the latter turned on him
with knife. Shippy attempted to
grasp the weapon and received a
deep cut on the hand. The police
official then succeeded in reaching
his own revolver and fired shot after
shot into the would-be assassin's
body. Every bullet took effect and
the anarchist fell to the floor dead.
The young anarchist was identified
as LaZerus Averbuch, Russian stu
dent who came to this country only
three months ago. He fed from Rus
STA to Austria two years ago to es-
cape the persecution of the Jews.
The younger Shippy who was be-
wounded was said late last night to
have a good chance for recovery.
1t was learned that Chief Shippy's
interference several weeks ago with a
parade of unemployed men, headed
by CDR" Ben L. Reitman, through
the streets of Chicago, coupled with
the more recent announcement that
Emma Goldman, the anarchist, would
not be allowed to speak in public in
this city, led Averbuch, to attempt to
remove" the police head in Russian
terrorist" fashion.
Averbuch's attempt upon Shippy's
life yesterday was the fourth effort
he had made to accomplish his pur-
pose.
Twice on Sunday he visited the
house but did not find his intended
victim at home. At O'Clock yester-
day morning he made his third ap-
pearance but was informed by SER
that the chief was not ready to re-
ceive callers.

DIETZ HAS HIS OWN SCHOOL.
Famous "Outlaw" Puts Himself Under
Government Protection.

Ladysmith.-JohnD ietz, the famous
defender of Cameron dam, has turned
the tables on his enemies.
BY the formation of what is techni-
cally a school district" with his
home as the schoolhouse, Dietz is
safe from attack. Jay Gates of Rice
Lake, the instructor, has the power
of the state and federal government
at his back. His pupils are the Dietz
children, yet if an armed attack were
made on the now famous homestead,
Prof. Gates has perfect right to
sally forth with his rifle and defend
his school.
1t is doubtful, however, if Dietz will
ever be molested, for the logs in dis
pute are now being taken out OF
Thornapple river by contractors, and
the outlaw is serenely surveying his
domain.

RESOLVED TO sNuR EVE.
Mrs. lntheswim Intended to Draw So
ciaI Line in Heaven.

The minister had dropped in to tea,
and the conversation had drifted
through various channels to the ques-
ton of whether or not we should know
each other in heaven. Presenting that
our physical beings would be perpetu-
ated, and that recognition would be as
sured, the minister had asked various
ones at the table among whom the Bib
lical characters they would be most
interested in recognizing.
Some mentioned one prophet and
some another, but one lady, noted for
her social eXclusiveness, had not
spoken. Turning to her the minister
said: and who would you like to meet
in heaven, Mrs. Intheswim?"
Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips II
really don't know" she said, but there
is one thing / do know, and that is
that l shouldn't care to meet Eve. In
fact, l don't know that l would speak
to her if did,"
