Mr.. Dawson and the other parties to
the deal deny the statement?
Now Golfers says that the Demo
Gratis bribed the legislators so two
men, who had been responsible for
the victory, might go TO the United
States Senate. This he knows is alb
solutely untrue. and his informers
also know it. Why didn't he men
ton the Republican leaders who have
taught their party that there Is no
principle aside from the dollar?
Why didn't he tell that the special
representatives OF the Standard Oil
Company and the Pennsylvania Rail
road used their influence to defeat
the two senator's? or. he might have
gone further and told that a legisla-
tive representative of the Standard
Oil Company accompanied the fifteen
Republican senators on their jaunt to
Cincinnati. Why didn't he also tell
who paid the bills of these men who
had been sent to Charleston to legis-
late in the interest OF the people, but
instead of doing that violated their
obligations by hurrying beyond the
reach of the law?
That special representative simply
used the Republican newspapers cam
paign supplements and canards that
he might besmirch Democrats who
had wrested the control of affairs
from the machine Republican bosses.
He refused to meet the leaders of the
party and learn automatically how the
senators were elected. He took the
advice of the machine leaders, such
as Dawson, Glasscock, Edwards, FL
kins, Hubbard, Scott, Mann, Hughes,
Ogden, Denham, Highland and the
lesser lights that he might place the
Democratic senators before the peo-
pie in afalse light.
Let this special writer ask the Re
publicans how many hundreds of dol
lars they have received from their
party leaders; let him ask some old
member of the state legislature how
Elkins and Scott reached the United
States Senate; let him make further
inquiry into how some Republican
machine state officials have been cleo

This limestone has been worked in
this section for 20 years. and at the
present time there are FIVE different
companies with large quarries. They
load the stone in the quarry by hand,
and transport it to gyratory crusher
plants in small cars up cable line.
A large quarry thus uses a large force
of laborers. and the plant capacity is
usually 1900 to 1000 tons daily.

Johnson BerateS
G. 0. P. in Indiana

VINCENNES, IND, Sept. 19.-Gov-
ernor Hiram Johnson, of California,
who is on a tour of Indiana today, was
greeted by a crowd of thousand peo-
pie here. The governor spoke briefly
on the new party, as expressed in the
platform adopted at Chicago in Au-
gust, as a party whose duty was to
conserve human resources. He berated
the political Republican government as
one which has forgotten that its chief
asset was the people. No set of men
like Penrose, Payne and Guggenhelm
have the right to transmute the minor
ity of American citizens into major
ity. said the governor, and no set of
men have the right to nominate a pres
ident of the United States who has
been repudiated by the majority.
That in August men and women with
a broad view met in Chicago to form a
new party as a government for red
blooded men, women and children was
emphasized by the speaker.
This party chose as its leader the
greatest two-handed fighter whose
word never fails and the man who Will
receive at the hands of the people this
fall what he has faithfully won, and
Theodore Roosevelt will come into his
own and will be elected by an over
whelming majority concluded the
governor amid a tumult of applause.

ing execution. Governor Brown today
committed from death on the gallows to
life imprisonment the sentence of John.
son Webb, negro, to have been hang
ed in Early county on Friday next.
In an executive order the governor
tells how Webb probably saved the life
of his jailer and several of the depu-
ties, and certainly served to keep with
in the custody of the state not less
than fifteen desperate criminals plan
ming to escape.
The governor particularly stresses the
duty of recognizing the good work OF
all persons who help in the enforce.
ment of the law and makes It mani
fest that he will reward. "as the inter
ests of society will admit as being
proper and just" all such persons.
Good Conduct Saves Negroes Life.
The order of Communication sets forth
certain Of Governor Browns views on
executive clemency significantly and
interestingly.
The governor touches lightly upon
one other phase of the case, but he
makes it plain that Webb owes his
communication to his good conduct in
grave circumstances. and not particu-
larly to anything else.
The order, among other things. says:
In the enforcement of the laws of
this state, 1t must be made clear
that not only will law abiding citi-
zens be protected, but that each
person aiding in the enforcement
OF the laws will receive such re-
ward as the interests of society will
admit as being proper and just
The hope of this reward should not
be denied even to convicts who are
under sentences and who, as in this
case, aid in protecting the lives
and officers of the law. or otherwise
preventing crime.
Reprieved at Eleventh Hour.
Webb was to have been hanged two
weeks ago, but the governor, at the
eleventh hour, decided to reprieve him
for fourteen days. upon a showing that
there was much to show in favor of
Communication that had not been shown.
Colonel Jesse Perry, the governors
private secretary had quite an excit-
ing time getting the message Of re-
prieve through to Early county in time
to head off the hanging, only placing
the order in the sherlff's hands an hour
before sentence was to have been car
ried out.
Webb was convicted Of killing an
other negro in a fight, and the jury try
ing him petitioned the governor to ex-
tend clemency, inasmuch as there may
have been a doubt that the negro was
guilty of deliberate and malicious muir
der, in the first instance.
