Progressive Democracy That, It

it and thought Of Taggart, Murphy and

From Roosevelt,s speech at Fargo.
Col. Roosevelt failed to state that
the gart-Murphy-Suilfva forces
have been bitterly fought by the pro
gressive democrats Of the country for
many years. He failed to call atten.
tion to the fact that after an almost
heart breaking struggle at the Balti
more convention, progressive demo
cracy finally triumphed under the
leadership Of Wilson and Bryan. He
did not explain that Wilson was nomi
mated in spite OF the sunhinching op
position Of these representatives Of
special privilege. He did not tell
what he must certainly know as a
citizen Of New York, that the special
interest" democrats have always
knitted the ticket whenever there was
progressive man at its head, and
that 1t Is fair to assume they will
knife 1t now.
Wilson has refused campaign con.

ORGANIZING AGAINST rAmMANy

A great organization of New York
Democrats. described as the Empire
State Democracy and pledged to dis
pute the control Of the state with
Tammany. is declared by number of
the great eastern journals to possess
more strength than any similar organ
ization that has preceded it. The
main issue Is to prevent Charles F..
Murphy from naming the state ticket
at the state convention in October. !.
With reference to this uprising Of
progressive democrats in the Empire
State. the New York World says:
There is a new Democracy in the ma.
ton. and under the leadership of
Woodrow Wilson it ought to be a
more inspiring Democracy than the
country has known since the days Of
Jackson. 1t is time the Democratic
party in New York put itself in touch
with the militant progressive Demo
cracy of the United States. The first
step Is the obltteration OF Murphy and
Murphyism.

ELEVATOR MAN
STRANGELY KILLED
AS DOOR CLOSES
Looked Out When Car De-
scended and Gate Shut
on His Neck.

John Cook, twenty-six years old. an
elevator operator in the branch office
o. Frederick stearns & Co, at No. 1903
John street, was killed to-day in one
of the most inexplicable elevator acci-
dents that has ever occurred in this
city. He was dead when discovered
His neck mad been broken when caught
between the steel door and the frame
of the door on the sixth floor of the
building as the elevator was descend
ing. Just what compelled Cook. who
Was a thoroughly reliable young man,
to thrust his head out as the car was
descending and why the door closed
on II Is mystery that remain unex-
piained to the members of the firm.
Cook, who has been with the firm, who
are manufacturing pharmacists, for
several years. was the only inmate OF
the building allowed to operate the Gle
vator. which Is used for both passengers
and freight. Its motive power Is cleo
tricity. and II is operated by hand
lever at the side. The business of the
company occupies the entire sixth floor
of tho building. The offices are on the
second floor. the most OF the remaining
floors being used as stock rooms. There
are about twenty-five employees in the
building. come Of them women and girls.
The discovery Of Cooks dead body
was made through the ringing OF the
elevators bell. L. d. Skinner. one Ct
the heads Of the departments. whose
office IL on the second floor, was at

elevator bell. II kept up until he Won
dered why Cook wasn't on the Job. lie
went to the elevator shaft on the sec-
ond floor and called to him. but re-
ceived no answer and the bell kept on
ringing. He looked up the shaft and
saw that the elevator was apparently
stopped between the sixth and NTH
floors.
Seeming something unusual. he called
to John knight, another employee oil
the company, and they started up the
| stairs to the sixth floor. AS they turned
around to the front part OF the hall
they stopped Mortified at the sight OF
Cooks head as II stuck out from the
shaft, the heavy door crushing his neck
and hiding the rest of his body.
When Skinner and Knight forced
back the heavy door they saw that
COOKS rect were Just tOuCHIhs tnt
floor OF the car and his hand was still
convulsively clutching the lever. TIC
turn of the current had probably been
the last act Of his life.
Skinner and Knight managed to carry
Cooks body from the car. The firm
heads Immediately telephoned to the po-
lice and summoned an ambulance from
the New York Hospital AS soon as the
news reached the street great crowds
collected In front OF the building, and
the rumor spread that Cook was st.ll
alive, but was slowly being strangled
to death, the police being unable to ex-
tracate him. 1t was necessary to send
for the reserves from the Old slip sta
ton to handle the crowds.
