Latham said his engine worked perfectly
and he had no trOSs,le In managing his
craft He estimated that his altitude over
the city was about $500 feet.
Latham's flight is regarded at Halethorpe
field as one of the most remarkable in
aviation annals. 1t is held to establish a
new record. This consists of the fact that
for practically forty minutes he was in
continuous over-city flight, following
prescribed route.
It IL regarded as one of the most danger

Texas National
Guard is Badly
DemOralized
Officers Resign and Companies Ask to
Be Mustered Out Because of Con-
viction of Sergeant Manley.

DALLAS Tex Nov. with three line
officers and four company officers having
rendered their designations, and three COM
panies urgently requesting the governor to
muster them out, the Texas National Guard
is practically demoralzed. as the result OF
the recent conviction Of Sergeant Manley
of Company r. who bayonetted and killed
q spectator during President Tatts visit
20 Dallas a year ago.

penitentiary. His own company promptly
lsked to be relieved from future military
uty, and this action was Immediately
forwarded by the Kirby Rifle company Of
Austin and Captain Gers' company at
Beaumont. other companies are expected
to take similar action this week.
Much speculation has been aroused by re-
ports that an agent OF the Judge advocate
general Of the United States army has
been in Dallas to Investigate the Manley
case 1t is said the federal government
may interfere in behalf Of the convicted

Campaign Lie
Nipped in Bud
South Omaha Democrats Tell Foreign
Born Voters Only Native Ameri-
cans Can Scratch a Ticket

Fearful OF the defeat OF most Of It's ticket,
democratic workers in South Omaha have
been trying to convince foreign-born voters
that they cannot scratch a ballot The lie
Is being circulated that only native Ameri-
canms are allowed by law TO scratch. and
that naturalzed citizens must vote It
straight.
Republican managers learned OF the tricks
employed and steps to head It off have
been taken. At thee polls today republican
workers will see to 1t that every voter who
wishes to vote for one democrat and for
republicans for other offices is informed
that he can do 80. And such voters will
be taught how TO scratch when they use
voting machines II they do wish to vote a
split ticket.
But the republican campaign leaders Of
South Omaha are urging, and will urge
voting the stralght republican ticket.

Who ever saw such a 'gittin' upstairs, as

But this is nothing to what will happen if
my Partner holds up his end of the stick.
Lord! If | live and nothing happens, we are
going to make political traitor afraid to go
home, after betraying his trust in the State
or National Capital.
Yes, Sir: we need, and are going to have,
just that kind of Public Sentiment Else, the
politicians and ofice-holders never will quit
selling out to the marauding corporations.

Yet, your agents can betray you in Con-

you keep on sending them. You can't be
made to see that high prices at the store,

The "Rev. r. F. Duck Is on The
Lame-Dmck Inventory

In his ebbing- away paper, our Texas friend
says:
When the effort was made to get the Farmers
Union to turn millions of dollars of money into
the hands of Dan Sully, and then when ''Dan,' the
glorious BULL bear cotton gambler came
prancng South with his scheme to scoop up the
Farmers Union Warehouse we knew then that
things were getting warm in some sections for
some folks. However, Dams" schemes did not
work, except on few, very few, people, and
soon as We sounded the note of warning,
this few shut up like clam They wouldn't
give Dan" any more encouragement.
Turn about is fair play: Georgia has sent
many scamp to Texas, and it is not inequi-
table for Texas to return the compliment. A
good many Georgians skedaddled to the State
of the Lone Star, to escape an interview with
the Sheriff. [ guess we Georgians who re-
manned at home have no just cause of com
plant, if Texas, now and then, presents us
with an immigrant who deserves a coat of tar
and feathers
Yes: Duckworth is still in our midst. Our
farmers are still paying the salaries and ex-
penses of the men who urge the dupes to sub
scribe to Ducks no-account paper. Adver-
tisers are continuing to be buncoed into the
belief that Duck has a tremendous clrcula-
ton. And Duck himself is still heard, lifting
the loud voice Of Virtue, Patriotism and Self
abnegation.
[ don't know what would have become of
us, if Duck hadn't arrived when he did. Ac-
cording to him, we were in a mighty bad way.
We were going to Hades apparently, faster
than fox-hound could trot. But Duck, over
in Texas, saw what was happening to us, and
he Rushed to save us. Twas rough on Texas
to leave her to take care of herself; but Duck

Socialism Losing Ground I'm the
South
South


lst leaders In running to cover, instead of an
swering my challenge like manly men, is hav-
ing it's effect in the Southern States
Wherever THE JEFFs have the largest cir
culation, the despicable doctrine of Socialism
is being stamped out.
Jesse L. Swango, to whom the letter below
was addressed, is not the only sensible person
who has dropped out of the AppeaJs Army.
They are dropping off, from North Caro-
lima to Texas. In two more years, such class
hatred sheets as the appeal will not be allow
ed to enter Southern homes. Those editors
believe in and practise Social Equality; and
they are against our marital system, our re-
publican form of government, our system of
property owning, our Home-life, as we now
know it.
Notice what is said in the letter about let
ting me into their columns. At a cost Of $1.25
per agate line, they will let me discuss Social
ism in the Appeal Note their fimsy reasons
for not being willing for me to have a hear
ing It would ''advertise'' me, and "confuse
those readers, etc.
Here's an open confession Of fear They
feel, instinctively, that it would never do for
their readers to hear "the other side"
They are like the UNCONVENTIONAL papers
which refuse me hearing on Foreign Mis-
sions; and they are going to find, as the mis-
slonaries did, that such an unfair and short
sighted policy hurts those who adopt it. In
the long run, the people get the facts; and
then they lose respect for the editors q0h0
tried to keep them an the dark.
THE JEFFs have published both sides on
every question. The Socialists have had
many whack at me in these columns. The
space did not cost them $1.25 per agate line.
It didn't cost them cent.
The appeal can try that game if it wants
to; but the people will rapidly lose all conf
dence in bunch Of editors q0ho are such
moral coa0ardS as to refuse fair-pz0y to an OPP
p0nent.
Here follows the letter:
April 7, 1910.
Jesse L. swango, R. R. No. 5, Miami, Okla
Dear Sir:-Replying to your favor of April 4th
would say that you may be surprised to learn that
your heros challenge to debate accepted by
Comrade Debs, and Watson Immediately backed
water Of course, he has not told you this for his
purpose was first to break into the columns of the
Appeal to Reason to be advertising himself and
his magazine; and secondly, to confuse those read
who would place faith in his writings
We return your letter herewith with the sug-
geston that you send it to Mr. Watson, showing
him how his campaign of villifcaton has resulted
in turning the mind of at least Appeal reader.
To the best of knowledge you the only
reader of the Appeal who has taken Watson
riously
It might be we'll to forward this letter to him,
asking him to reply to it, also advising him that
advertising rates in the Appeal to Reason are
$1.25 per agate line and that in no other
can he break into the columns of the paper.
With very best wishes we are
Yours very truly, APPEAL TO REASON.
The statement that Debs accepted my chal-
lenge, and that "backed water" is untrue
