THINKS A LYNCHING JURY
AS BAD AS LYNCHING MOB
Q the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
President Taft's condemnation of
lynching before the Howard Alumni, at
the Metropolitan A. NJ. e. Church,
Tuesday evening, April Q, 1872 at this
late hour in his Administration, and
his remark that the Howard clap was
more sensible than the yale yell"
were political bats to catch the colored
voter. The President, in part. said:
The only way by which lynching can
be suppressed is that some time we
shall have men as sheriffs and as gov
ernors and as prosecutors and as Jurors
VINO Will see to II that the men who
are engaged in pulling the rope shall
swing by the rope, and that matters
can be improved by making our courts
more expeditions"
tive and judicial. II the executive
heads OF the United States Government
would do their sworn duty when a citi-
zen OF the United States is lynched, and
set an example for the governors and
the sheriffs referred to, there is no
doubt that lawlessness such as the
Hillsville, Va, affair, which was the
outgrowth of permissive and unpun-
ished lawlessness, that has occurred in
greatly minimized
The proposition favoring quick trials
trials when passion and prejudice are
at their height-would be nothing more
nor less than subterfuges. Quick trials
as proposed would be nothing less than
an indirect method to take human life
without due process of law" A lynch
ing jury is a more dangerous instru-
mentality than lynching mob. So
far as the murderous result is con-
cerned, there is no difference between
lynching by jury and lynching by
mob. A lynching Jury as a substitute
for a lynching mob would be equally
as culpable, and no more effective as a
promotive of Justice, than the substitu-
ton OF "disfranchisement laws" for
ballot box stuffing.

.ANALYZES THE SOCIALIST
VOTE IN MILWAUKEE,
40 he Edltor OF rHE rIMEs,

John A. Crowley In a recent letter to
The Times glories in what he calls "The
defeat OF socialism In Milwaukee," This
statement seems quite superficial. COM
ing from zone who has given serious
thought to socialism and all that it's
philosophy stands for" For the his
tory OF socialism the world over is one
OF continuous growth. There may be
temporary setbacks, here and there, but
even Milwaukee has not been an ex-
ception to this general rule. This week Q
issue OF the National Socialist "a weekly
paper published in Washington, which
all those interested in socialism would
do well TO read) gives the following fig-
ures for the Socialist vote In MilMaukae.
The Washington times., 1912-04-15

Does that look like a Socialist defeat ?
IL means an increase of nearly 5000
votes, II means that the Socialists will
carry Milwaukee at the next election
and keep II until the coming Of the CO.
operative commonwealth.
Any number of false statements have
been published in the subsidized capt.
talist press about the Socialist admin
istration of Milwaukee, and Mr.. Crow
ley seems to have gained his informa-
ton fro m this source. Many papers and
magazines. however, have given a fair
account of the Socialist administration
and these all argue that II is by far the
best and most efficient that Milwaukee
ever had.

back to socialism in the United State

DEAD MAN MURDERED
Body Of an Unknown Man Found
Near Cass Lake Depot This
Morning.
MURDERERS MAY BE IN BEM1DJ1
(Copyright.)

Cass Lake, Mimi, June 19-(Spec-
ial Pioneer Wire Seryice) -An un-
known man was found dead early
this morning few rods west OF the
Great Northern depot. Evidently
death resulted from strangulation.
The body was that of a Finlander.
He was seen last night in company
with three others making small pur-
chases at different places around
town. The Finlander was the one
who had the money and paid for the
supplies. When found at 4 O'Clock
this morning the body was still warm
and it is believed that death occurred
a few hours previous.
There were several scratches about
the face, apparently done BY finger
nails. It is apparent that a crime
was committed, motive being rob,
berry. The pockets were torn from
their places and shoes also off. It
is believed that the men who were
with the Finlander left for Bemidii,
Three men were seen walking on the
Great Northern tracks between Far
ris and Bemidji, headed this way.
County Attorney Funck of Cass coun-
ty has chartered an automobile and
is giving chase.
A pOst-mortem examination of the
body was held this morning.
It is believed that the Finlander's
home is in Hibbing. ~,

1,074 DELEGATES TO BE THERE
Arrangement Committee Already on
Ground Preparing for the Big
Meeting.

Baltimore, Md, June 19.-One
thousand and seventy-four delegates
will assemble in the Fifth Regiment
Armory in this city next Tuesday to
name candidate to run as the Dem
ocratic party's choice for president of
the United States.
These delegates represent the Dem
ocratic voters of forty EIGHT states,
the District of Columbia, the District
of Alaska and the territorial possess
sions of Hawaii, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. The number of dele
gates exclusive of the territories and
insular possessions is twice the num-
Der of United States senator's and
members of the house of representa-
tives.
Each delegate to the national con-
vention represents section of the
country peopled by approximately
91,972,266 people according to the
census of 1910, of whom at least
27,O00,000 are male adults of the
voting age.
The LOLA delegates meet to select
man who will represent the ideas
of the Democratic voters as to neces-
sary qualifications for president Of
the United States and to voice their
ideas as to general policies which
should be followed by the chief exc
cutive for the four years succeeding
March 4, 1918. The delegates will
vote these policies in a series of reso-
lutions, which, taken together, is

president to serve in case of the death
or inability of the president.
Theoretically the choice of the
nominees and the framing of the plat
form are matters which the dele
gates take up as quite fresh subjects,
and upon which they have varying
opinions, but practically, and as a
result of widespread discussion in the
daily press and elsewhere, there are
always of late years some well settled
ideas on the subject Of candidates
and issues, and q certain unanimity
on many matters from the outset.
In the present instance, however,
considerably more doubt surrounds
the actions and decisions Of the con-
vention than has been the case for
many years. i is generally admitted

Republican convention re-convened
this morning at 1890 with Tempo

session assumed more quiet attitude
than at yesterdays meeting. The

Governor Hadley started the ball
rolling again by introducing a reso-

vote carried the day for Root, and
asked for re-roll call for the cleo

spoke at length and other speakers
