Things have taken differen

Things have taken a different
turn in the national outlook
for president since week ago.
The entrance of Senator Cum
Minis into the list of candidates
and the possibility that Ex-
President Roosevelt may yet
come into the open, makes the
nomination of President Taft
all the more uncertain. The
nomination of progressive
republican, it is pretty we'll
agreed, can only come through
the bringing out of favorite
sons and then rnassing their
strength in the convention at
Chicago. AS time passes it
looks more and more like
Roosevelt. And we all could
support Teddy.

In the column of political
announcements this week will
be found that of V. E. Haskins,
who is again after the republi-
can nomination for county
auditor. Vern knows all about
the auditors office. Four years
as deputy under Eygabroad,
and four years as auditor in his
own right, gives him an ex-
perience that makes him well
fitted for the office. The only
reason for not returning him,
that has come to our ears. is
the fact that he has already
had two terms and ought to
be satisfied. Whether the
voters will recognize the old
custom of convention days
two terms and out-can only
be determined after the votes
are counted. Mr.. Haskins has
made a very capable official,
and the above reason would be
the only one we know of, for
retiring him.

PULSE OF THE STATE PRESS
How It Would Be Divided,

Wells County Free Press: The
Grand Forks Herald is candid enough
to reason out how the presidential pre-
ference primary will work out with
Taft, La Toilette and Roosevelt on the
ticket, figuring that 60 per cent of the
votes are progressive: Taft, 40 per
cent; La Toilette, 80 per cent; and
Roosevelt, 80 per cent, giving Taft a
majority. If you are progressive,
do not let Roosevelt sentiment-com-
ing from stalwart headquarters-mis-
lead you. A vote for Roosevelt will be
vote for Taft, for it will be one less
vote for the real progressive candidate,
La Toilette.

The progressive meeting of
last week at Fargo developed
several new candidates. Secre-
tary of State Norton decided
to make the run for congress
in the Third district, and Tom
Hall at once announced his
candidacy for secretary of state.
Pat Norton will prove strong
candidate in the western dis
trict and Tom Hall will fit
nicely into his shoes in the
secretary of states office. Tom
will be popular candidate.

When the boy appeared Tomlin re!

which the boy tearfully refuted.
TITS this way, SIR" he said. my

Senator Tillman.

The scars of a veteran are the no.
blest insignia of honor. Senator Till
man, of South Carolina, was never a
greater figure in American eyes than
in these days of his i'll health.
But no amount of physical suffer-
ing can break a spirit as indomitable
as that of any man who ever lived.
The fearlessness, the intellectual
power, the invincible will of Senator
Tillman are what they have always
been. He is candidate for another
term in the senate. 1t should be
granted him. We are sure his con-
stituents feel, as the country does,
about the matter.
No legislator in the American con-
gress is Senator Tillman's superior in
parliamentary knowledge, and grasp
of the practical workings of govern
ment. Sprung from the people, heart,
brain and soul a man Of the people,
beginning against the handicap or
great odds, he fought his way to the
foremost rank of orators, legislators,
and parliamentarians by sheer genius
and force of character. His great per-
sonality has subdued the animosities
of an earlier time. Eighteen years
in the senate have made him under
stood, not only by the State of South
Carolina, but by the whole nation.
The United States recognizes in Ben
iamin R. Tillman one of the ablest
and most dauntless champions of
liberty, one of the most relentless
foes of special privilege who ever
drew breath. In stronghold of plu-
tocracy, he has fought, year in and
year out, the battles of the people. The
senate, the American republic, can
not afford to lose Tillman.-Buffalo
Times.

FACES MURDER CHARGE.
Aiken Man on Trial for Killing OF
Policeman.

Aiken, June 3.-The case of James
G. Seigler, charged with the murder
cf Policeman Wade Patterson on the
main business street of Aiken last
fall, was called at 1925 o'clock this
afternoon. Seigler, who had been in
jail since the afternoon he shot Pat
tersen to death, came in the court
room smiling. The securing of jury
was begun at once, and when at s
o'clock court adjourned for the day
the entire panel has been exhausted
and the court found it necessary to
draw a new venire. Out of the 30
men, whose names were called, only
nine jurors were secured. This is the
first time in a number of years that
an entire panel had been exhausted
in Aiken county without completing
a Jury. The State exhausted its
peremptory challenges and the de-
fendant objected to five men. Two
were excused on account of relation
ship by marriage to the defendant,
eight had formed and expressed an
opinion as to the defendants guilt
and were excused. One man who
stated that he had expressed his
opinion was accepted. One was ex-
cused on account of his health. Three
did not believe in capital punish
naent. One was witness for the
defense, and one witness for the
State. The nine jurors so far Sc
cured are: o. L. Weeks, James R.
League, L. L. Hill, B. L. Adams, j.
A. Stallings, c. W. Munnerlyn, H. H.
Verdery, E. M. Cook and F. o. Cunt
er. AS soon as the other three are
secured tomorrow morning from the
special venire the taking of testi-
mony will begin.
No case that has come up in Aiken
county in long time has excited the
interest that is centered in the Seig-
Ter case.

Kills Woman and Himself.

Chicago, June 3.-Nicholas Gill,
80 years old, a city policeman, early
to-day shot and killed woman
known as Julia Johnson, and then
committed suicide by shooting. The
shooting took place in a house OF
which the woman was an inmate, in
the South Side levee district. She
was 20 years old.
Gill, according to fellow police
men, had called frequently of late to
see Miss Johnson and is said to have
been infatuated with her. The po,
liceman lived with his widowed moth
er in Lakeview.
The police were unable to fine
any one who had heard any words
pass between the two previous to the
shooting.

Reports of correspondents of date
May 2S and 29 indicate a probable
decrease in the acreage planted tt
cotton this season of 6 per cent
These figures are, however, more
than usually indeternlinate, as con
siderable planting remains to be
done over wide areas. Correspond

the crop as compared to normal in
dicate a percentage Of 80 to 83.
The crop is later than last yea!
in all States save the two Carolinas
and Texas and over the whole bell
the land preparation is less thorough
and planting was begun at later
date than last. Ralid termination
has, however, done much to restore
the time lost.
The plant is generally healthy and

A Ngro in the House.

For the first time in many years g.
negro occupied seat on the floor Of
the house Tuesday. AS result South
ern Democrats were very much agi-
tated. Under the rules of the house,
the negro was entitled to the privi-
lege of the floor. The man was John
R. Lynch, of Natchez, Miss, who is
now a paymaster in the army and
who represented the Third Mississip-
pi district in the house in the Forty
third, Forty-fourth and Forty-sev-
enth congresses. He was also tenn
porary chairman of the Republican
national convention in 1884, which
nominated James G. Blaine for pres
ident. Representative Ben Humph-
ries now represents the Third Mis-
sissippi district, but he did not well
come his predecessor when he came
in. Lynch occupied seat on the
Republican side of the chamber and
remained in the house about an hour.
Lynch appeared at the capitol
shortly after the house convened and
presented himself at the main en-
trance to the chamber, asking admis
sion. He was stopped by Doorkeeper
Heartsell, of Georgia. Lynch re-
NAMED at the door while Heartsell
rushed in to Speaker Clark to ask
what he should do under the cir
cumstances. The speaker called Rep
resentative Sisson, of Mississippi, to
the rostrum and asked him if Missis-
sippi had ever been represented in
congress by negro named John R.
Lynch. Mr.. Sisson recalled the SER
vices of Lynch and the Speaker is
sued a pass authorizing Lynch to
enter.
While Lynch sat in the rear of the
hall talking with several old Republi
can members it was noised among the
Democrats that the former Mississip-.
pi congressman was in Washington
laying plans to run for the United
States senate from Mississippi just
as soon as the constitutional amend
ment for the direct election of sena-
tors is ratified by the States. 1t is
the contention of Southern Demo-
Gratis that the ratification of the
amendment in the form that it has
been passed by congress will result
in the enfranchisemeat Of the ne
groes who have been disfranchised
in the Southern States by the opera
ton of the grandfather clause"
There are more negroes in Mississippi
than in any other Southern State,
and if they should be enfranchised it
is expected by the Southern Demo-
Gratis they might easily elect the
United States senators from that
State.

Andrew Carnegie tells of a unique
proposal of marriage which was an
actual happening in a Scotch town
where he was stopping one summer.
A Scotch beadle was very much in
love, and was also extremely bashful.
He couldn't make up his mind to esk
the lady for her heart and hand in
the ordinary manner. He made sever
al attempts, but his courage always
failed him at the auspicious moment.
One day he asked her to go for a
walk and led the way to the church
yard; there finding the lot where his
ancestors lay, he pointed to the head
stones, and said:
Cali my folks are buried here, Jo-
an. Wadn't you like to be laid away
here wi 'em some day."
