BAY STATE ROUSEO
GOOD REASONS TO EXPECT A
WILSON VICTORY THIS YEAR
IN MASSACHUSETTS.
REPUBLICANS IN THE DUMPS
Their Party Is Split Wide Open BY
Third Term Movement and Demo
Gratis Are keenIy Alive to Their
Opportunity to Win.

In his trip through New England
Governor Wilson was everywhere re-
ceived with vast throngs and every
evidence of good will. The impression
he made Justifies the hope that No
yember will show that he has brok-
en- the Republican solidity of the
northeastern corner of the country.
There is, however, more substantial
reason than crowds and clamor for
expecting the addition of some of the
New England states to the Democratic
column. Governor Foss OF Massachu-
sets, has been elected twice In sue
cession and is well enough satisfied
with the prospects to make the race
a third time. The primaries held In
that state showed keen interest
among Democrats and encouragement
and decline among the Republicans
At the primaries for governor 99.422
Democrats and 1886 Republicans
voted. Here is state has has been
supposed to be rock-ribbed in It's Re
publicanism where more Democrats
than Republicans took part in the
primaries.
The significance of this fact is
greatly increased by comparisons with
last spring and last year The presi.
dental preference vote in April was
taken before Governor Wilson had
been selected, and before the break
In the Republican ranks had occurred
II seemed to be hardly worth while
IN
express their preference. Only $4,000
did so, while III 900 Republicans ex.
pressed their preferences for the pres.
ident or Roosevelt But Wilson's
nomination has aroused the hone OF
every Democrat in the country, while
the third party movement has para
lyzed the Republicans. At the state
primary the DEMOCRATS cast nearly
four times as many votes as at the
presidential preference primary. and
the Republicans cast less than three
flfths.
Not less interesting Is the compari-
son between last weeks state primary
and the primary of last year. The to-
tai vote this year Is about 10000
greater than the primary vote a year
ago This increase Is made up of
Republican loss OF 1907 and Dem.
ocratic gain of 31,37S. Applying those
percentages OF gain and loss to the
presidential vote of 1908, the Demo
Gratis would nearly carry Massachu-
sets over the united Republican party
and the party is split from top to bot
tom by the third term movement.

Wigfall, who fed into the hills nerc

near steele and taken to Rawlins. 4
mob of angry citizens carrying ropes
and shotguns Immediately gathered
about the jail. They became 90
threatening that the prisoner was
taken to the state penitentary at
Rawlins.
At daylight the 500 convicts in the
penitentiary learned OF Wigfall's pres
ence. At $50 a. M. while being
marched TO the broom factory. the
prisoners suddenly leaped upon the
guards and the turnkey. overpowered
them and took the keys TO Wigfalls
cell. They looped one end of a rope
about Wigfall's neck and fastened the
other end about railing so feet
/ above the main floor of the prison
/ rotunda.
Cursing loudly, their yells mingling
| with the pleadngs OF the negro for
mercy, the convicts seized Wigfall
and hurled him over the railing into
the rotunda. The victim fell 25 feet
and his neck was broken.
A remarkable scene followed. Sat.
isfed that their victim was dead, the
prisoners made no effort to escape
from the prison. Instead, without a
word. they reformed their lines and
waited, ready to march to the broom
factory
At this, additional guards rushed to
the cell floor and ordered the con
victs to their cells instead OF sending
them to the factory.
