THE STRAW VOTE MAN.
Long. long before Election Day
His deadly work began;
GayIy he plunged into the fray
The valiant straw vote man.
He corners every one he meets
Merchant or artisan
And pesters him with ballot sheets
The busy straw vote man.
Then the result he figures out
On some mysterious plan;
He proves It all beyond a doubt
The clever straw vote man.
He knows who'll sweep the Empire state
And who's an also ran:
He places every candidate
The learned straw vote man.
But when the real votes are cast
Imagine, if you can,
How foolish ne will look at last
The futile straw vote man!

THE TRIUMPH OF BLEAsE.

Cole Blease has been renOminated
for Governor Of South Carolina in the
Democratic primary. having received
a majority over his two opponents to-
gether. This in state where Demo
cratic domination is practically uncon-
tested assures his continuance in office.
Governor Blease has made himself
best known to the outside world by a
course of consistent turbulence ana
blackguardism. His answer TO charges
of grating has been a threat to thrash
his accusers. and he has been the pub
lie advocate of lynching. His success
sets students of democracy wondering.
Yet there Is no reason TO think that
his nomination is the chance blunder
Of voters who do not know what they
are getting. Notwithstanding possible
truth In the charges of fraud in the
primaries. he is the sort Of Governor
that the sort Of people now ruling
South Carolina like. He is the worst
specimen yet seen OF a type not un-
known in other states where more
or less similar conditions prevail. He
is so far the elimination Of the move
ment against the old regime in the
South Of which in an earlier stage
Senator Tillman was the product,
though Tillman himself condemns this
example of political evolution. He out
does vardaman, Of Mississippi. but
owes his power in large measure TO the
same forces.
South Carolina after the reconstruc-
tiOn period fell into the hands of the
old ante-bellum aristocracy. The poor
whites-the small farmers, mechanics
and bill folk--were almost as little

tell what all this has cost them.
Mr.. Roosevelt is asking support on
the ground that he is the faNOrite OF
the people and that he is running in
obedience to Il great popular demand.
He should be frank with the people
and tell them just how much has been
spent from the beginning in making
the people understand that he was

90 WOMEN To TAR
8 DIVE KEEPERS
With loan of Arc at Head, They
Plan to Rid the Town of
UndeSirabIeS.

WEST HAMMOND, ILL. Sept. A.
Eight men, deposed divekeepers Of
West Hammond, will be ridden out Of
town on rails by more than so indig-
nant women, who first intend TO treat
the men to complete coat OF tar and
feathers.
This startling determination was an
nounced by Miss Virginia Brooks, the
towns Joan of Arc, organizer of the
women's vigilance committee which
proposes to rid their city forever of
the eight men.
The decision was reported after il
had been ascertained that several OF the
eight resorts recently ordered closed by
the city council Of West Hammond
had opened again and were conducting
their business with the apparent cogni-
zance Of the police department.
Going to Ride EN- Out.
I'VE are going to put through a plan
within the next two days said Miss
Brooks. that ought to force them all
to leave town without the necessity for
the fearful violence that we are ready
IF this plan fails, then. as surely
as there has been the vilest OF crime
within this city there will occur with
in the week one Of the most elabora ?
tar and feather parties that ever has
been recorded.
And we 80 women will do the work
too After we have tarred anad feath-
cred the eight men, we shall ride them
all out Of town on a rail. If they dare
to resist us there may be fatal results.
Women Purchase Firearms.
That the women are sincere in their
determination actually to resort to this
tar party" If their town is not com
pletely purged within the week was
proved in the unapimity Of their en-
thusiasm. A number Of the women al
ready have obtained firearms. All will
carry revovers or shotguns upon the
night that the tar party is held.
The plan that fret is TO be tried was
not disclosed today "' 80 women in
timated. however, tua aould include
small display OF fol,e. If this fails
to accomplish its purpose, then the
final effort will be made.
