Mississippian's Death
Causes Complication

JACKSON, Miss May 23.-The
method of selecting a successor of the
late C. H Alexander as delegate from
the state at large to the convention at
Baltimore is puzzling the Democratic
leaders in this state.
Mr. Alexander died within a few min RI
utes after the state convention had
ratified his election in the presidential
preference primary. While the conven-
ton elected alternate delegates for the
state at large, the persons whom these
alternates should represent were not
designated. The possibility of one or
more of the regular delegates being un-
able to go to Baltimore was suggested
to the convention, but Ex-Governor j.
K Vardaman, who was manipulating
the steam roller, squelched all discus
sion by declaring that in event any
delegate was unable to go he should
have the privilege of selecting the al
ternate It could not be anticipated. of
course, that vacancy on the delega-
ton would be created by death prior to
the gathering in Baltimore.

COLONEL BEGINS
CAMP A|GN IN
JERSEY
Crowd Cheers Wildly for the
"Man Who Beat Taft"
in Ohio Campaign.

PATERSON. n. J., May 23.-Declar-
ing that the fight he is .waging in be-
half of the people is the most impor-
tant since the days of Lincoln. Colo
mel Theodore Roosevelt made the first
address of his New Jersey campaign
here today.
He asserted that he is not fighting
for himself or for the Republican par
", but only for the people. He said
that his campaign for the presidency
was only means to an end. his real
object being to restore and strengthen
the simple, healthy idealism which
characterized the men who a century
and a quarter ago founded the Union
and the men who 50 years ago restored
and perpetuated it,
II is evident he said, that in this
contest we are fighting what is much
more than factional fight or even
party fight. We who in the Republic
can party are standing for the rights of
the plain citizen of the Republican par
~ are also standing for the rights Of
every decent citizen, whatever his poll
tiles"
The eX-president declared that every
beneficiary of privilege" was opposing
him and that every representative of
crooked business and crooked politics
was aligned against him.
Believes in Tariff For Workers.
Il believe in a protective tariff" he
went on: but want to see the bene-
fit get into the pay envelope as we'll
as appear in the dividends. For this
reason I advocate the creation of
national bureau whose business it shall
be to Investigate protected industries
and see that protection does really
benefit the workingman."
Colonel Roosevelt met with an en-
thusiastic reception when he invaded
New Jersey today in an effort to Sc
cure the % votes Of the state Republi-
can delegation. The crowd that sur
rounded him here was so turbulent that
eight policemen were required to guard
him when he took the train for Pater-
son.
AS the colonel climbed aboard the
car the crowd surged forN ard.
Three cheers for the man who beat
Bill Taft, they shouted Three cheers
for Teddy" The cheers we're given
again and again.
A woman pushed her way through
the crowd, patted the colonel on the
back and wished him good luck. Roose-
yelt thanked her.

Gallantry is one of the things Mrs.

band, but R T, Brown, the man of her
choice was woefully deficient in the
manly grace. Hence Brown finds him
self defendant in A suit for total di-

MIS-. Brown in asking superior court
for her freedom today asserted that
Brown stood by and watched another
woman throw rocks at her without ut
tering even as much as a remonstrance.
In fact she said, she believed that
Brown enjoyed seeing her life placed
in danger.
Mrs. Brown further alleges that
Brown was a person of viilainous hab-
its, spending his money recklessly and
taking aboard large quantities of liz
uors continually. She asked the court
for the custody of her two children.

There is nothing which this mad
man will not dare to attempt under the
excitement and the passion of the state
of war he has stirred up in his own
mind and in the minds of the crazy
mobs that follow and applaud. That
he was able to draw man like Taft
into aecesspool attests the cruel injury
and wrong maniac armed to the
teeth, may accomplish, for Taft is not
only president of the United States. but
he is gentleman of upright, self-re-
specting character. 1t is clear now that
he had have better remained in the
white house leaving the frenzied par
anoiac the field to himself.
AT length this nation is a world
power. The issue precipitated by The
odore Roosevelt is whether become a
world power. this nation shall proclaim
to mankind its own failure by the aban-
donment of its constitution, the over
throw of its safeguards and the naming
of a dictator. He who says this is not
the issue. little recks what he is say
ing; he who thinks it is not were pru-
dent to question his sanity In its ulti-
mate analysis and its last word the
Roosevelt propaganda is the invocation
of a mailman to civil war"
