De SoTo Republican: "Just as was
predicted in last weeks Republican
the Press comes out for Orin L.
Munger of Wayne county for con-
gress from the Thirteenth District.
The Press is one of the leading
Democratic organs of the district
and its declaring for Mr.. Munger
at this early stage of the game is
quite significant. 1t indicates that
there will not be a candidate from
this county, although there is a
plenty of good timber in the party
here at home. "Tiff" Elvins will,
of course, be the Republican cam
didate unless something unfore-
seen turns up. He has made good
to the people of the district and is
entitled to another nomination un-
less a more logical candidate
should offer. 1t seems as though
Mr.. Munger was getting in the race
in plenty of time, and yet it is not
too early, considering the fact that
the nomination is to be made at
the general primary in August
next year; besides the Democracy
is scattered like a flock of quail,
and it will take some whistling to
get them together. Some of the
party's strong ones have not been
answering the bugle call of late
years and we do not believe that
Mr.. Munger, as bugler, is going to
be bowling success, as there are
too many generals in the party
who have stood to the rack in
years gone by who do not think
his service has been sufficient to
warrant such promotion. It is
true that Munger was "beat out of
the nomination" In 19O4, but look,
who did it. 1t was his own broth
or who voted for primary instead
of letting the wire-pullers do the
business. OF course Mr.. Munger
was willing for his brother to be
Mr.. Robb's private secretary, but
1t did not last long enongh. Dick
Bell loomed up and Munger was
promptly fired; and thereby hangs
tale. OF course "Pay Me" Mitch
i'm is going to get his, for, as we
stated last week, the woods are
full of candidates like unto the
''katy-did" and many Of them
have the swag."

The Defendant Responded.

stated last week that the trial
of Fred D. Warren, Socialist edit
or, was a remarkable one, and his
address to the court after the YER
dict of the jury was announced
bears me out.
In response to the trial Judges
question if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pro-
nounced, the defendant replied at
length, concluding as follows:
was convicted by a jury COM
posed of partisan republicans. 1t
was shown by competent evidence
introduced in this court to-day
that two of the jurors had expressed
hostile and prejudicial sentin ents
against me. Afidavits, herewith
filed, show that one of the jurors.
Mr.. Nelson, became deathly sick
in the jury room and he affirms
that it was because of this sick
ness and his fear of death unless
medical attentionscould be secured
that he was forced into voting for
a conviction. Again it is shown
by competent evidence introduced
at this hearing that the principal
witr ess for the government, Ex-
Governor Taylor, made statements
which were untrue. lie stated that
at the time the reward which l
offered was circulated through the
mails he was not a fugitive from
justice nor was there any charge
pending against him of criminal
nature in Kentucky. Affidavits,
state records and letters signed by
Taylor himself, all on file in this
court, show that Taylor had been
indicted and that for seven years
prior to the offer of our reward he
had been a fugitive from justice
with a price on his head. 1t is the
common practice in all courts that
where the defendent can show that
a juror in qualifying perjures him.
self a new trial is granted. Per-
iured testimony on the part of the
prosecuting witness is also ground
for new trial in ordinary cases.
OF course understand that this is
not an ordinary case. The whole
history of these proceedings shows
conclusively that it is not an at
tempt to secure the ends of justice,
but an effort to punish me because
of my political views. In conclu-
sion permit me to say that am
not asking the mercy or leniency
of this court. l have committed
no crime and there is fostering in
my conscience no accusation Of
guilt, but if my conviction and
punishment will serve to rivet
public attention upon the abuses
which l have tried to point out
then shall feel that / have not
suffered this humiliation in vain.
