VOTE OF THIRD PARTIES
IN THE UNITED STATES
Only One Has POIled AS Many
AS 100000 Since the
Civil War.

No third party, except the Peo-
ple's party in 1892, has yet polled
100000 votes in a national cleo
ton. That year General Weaver
barely crossed the line, receiving
1,O41.O2S votes.
1t was not until 1910 that the
candidates of the leading parties
entered the one-million-vote class.
All parties remained there until in
1864 Lincoln entered the 1000, geo
class. In 1868 Grant entered the
100000 class and Seymour the
100000 class. In 1876 both par
ties entered the 100000 class,
and in 1888 the 100000 limit was
reached by both. In 1896 the Re-
publicans jumped to the 100000
class, where they have remained
ever since, and the Democrats en-
tered the 100000 class and kept
It in 1900 and 1908, but in the
campaign of 1904 they fell back to
the 10000 limit.
Since the war the minor parties
which polled more than 5000 votes
at an election are as follows:

MAINE TURNS BACK TO
REPUBLICANS AGAIN

Portland. Maine, Sept. 9.-Maine
turned back to the Republican par
ty to-day, VIM. T. Haines being
elected Governor over Governor
Frederick w. Plaisted, Democrat.
The Republicans regained two of
the Congressional districts lost to
the Democrats two years ago.
The returns up to midnight indi-
cate the Legislature will be Repub-
lican by a small majority. The race
for United States Senator between
Edwin C. Burleigh, Republican, and
Senator Obadiah Gardner, Demo-
crat, is in doubt.
The returns for Governor from
525 out of cas- election districts
give Haines 5S,1S7, and Plaisted
53,706. If the same percentage is
maintained, Haines' election is in
dicated by about $3.50 plurality.
The Congressman elected are:
First district, Asher c. Kinds, Re-
publican; Second, d. ]. McGillicud-
dy, Democrat: Third, Forest Good
win, Republican; Fourth, Frank E.

CONSCIENCE LED HIM TO
CONFESS DEFALCATION

Laporte, Ind, Sept. 9.--Ora Ed
ridge, of Monticello, arrived at the
Michigan Prison tonight to begin
a term of two to fourteen years,
after being driven by the still small
voice of conscience to come out in
the open after being fugitive from
the law for eight months.
About year ago, following the
death OF his father-in-law, Eldridge
signed the latter's name to $4,000
in notes, which he expected to be
able to meet before they came due.
He miscalculated, however, and
when the notes came due he fed
the country. He succeeded in get
ting over a large portion of the
United States and Canada without
being apprehended.
Eldridge says he was tortured by
his conscience last week, with the
result that he came to Franceville
and telephoned the Sheriff of White
county to come and get him. His
trip back home, a short trial, at
which he pleaded guilty, and the
trip to the prison, marked the last
day of his freedom. He is said to
be worth about $15O,O00.

THE clumsy attempt of the new

laughable If it were not pitiful. Col.
Roosevelt's newly awakened inter-
est in the Southern Caucasian is
too obvious to mislead. His true
position in regard to the negro in
the South was Enthusiastically shown
while he was President, and the
bad effects of it have not yet entire

MOTHER SAVED CHILD
FROM AN AWFUL DEATH

Bowling Green, KY, Sept. O.
The life of little thirteen-year-old
Elizabeth Fitch, daughter of Pres
ident Fitch, of the Bowling Green
Street Railway Company, and man
ager of the gas company, was prob
ably saved Saturday by the heroic
efforts Of the child's mother. Tie
Fitches, during the summer months,
reside in a bungalow at the mouth
of Casper river. The child was
playing in the grass near her home
when a copperhead snake sank it's
fangs in her foot. No physician
could be procured nearer than
Bowling Green, and while COM
munication was being had with sew
eral physicians, the mother made a
ligature to prevent the poison from
spreading, and with her lips drew
the deadly poison from the child's
foot.
Physicians fastened to the Fitch
home in an automobile, but did not
arrive until an hour after the child
was bitten. She will recover. The
physicians say the action of the
mother was all that saved the
childs life. ~ .- ...., .,..

THE DOUBLE POLITICS
PLAYED BY ROOSEVELT

The Fourth District Leader, a
well-edited Republican paper pub
lished at Hardinsburg, says:
The uuderhand politics played
by the ex-popular late President
and third-term candidate in his at
tempt to enlist in his cause the
Southern white voters and Northern
voters of both races will have gain
ed its just reward when it loses for
him the colored vote of both North
and South and the respect of white
nePNDncans generally.
While President, he ignored the
whites in the South and consulted
Booker Washington in regard to
political appointments, dined him
at the White House and appointed
colored woman as postmistress at
Hattiesburg, Miss, over the pro-
tests of all whites who received
mail at that office.
When 1t became evident to him
that the Southern voter does not
vote, and that to make any showing
as Presidential candidate on
third party ticket he must have the
support of the Southern whites, he
attempts to regain their allegiance
by denouncing the Southern negro
AS not qualified for popular suffrage
and not wanted in the Bull Moose
herd, and at the same time declar-
ing the negro, who happens to live
north of the Ohio river, to be the
equal OF any white.

ROTTEN HYPOCRISY OF
CHIEF CORRCPTIONIST

The Morgantown Republican in
its last issue says:
Theodore Roosevelt, after pro-
Tossing to have a monopoly on all
civic righteousness and wanting
stripes put on all people who dared
to differ from him in the least, has
had the mantle that covered his
foul record removed and the great
est corruptionist has been exhibited
to the people in the person of T.

proven the friend and appreciator
of such men as Flynn, Perkins,
Archbold, Hartman, and the gang
of corruptionists who persist in at
tempting to corrupt the body poll

THE UNIQUE CANDIDATE
COMPARED WITH OTHERS

There is one Presidential candi-
date who doesn't have to carry an
eight-year-old letter book around
with him to prove himself innocent
of evil companionship.
There is one Presidential candi-
date who does not have to shout
"liar!" at the beginning of every
controversy-for fear the other
fellow should use the charming
word first.
There is one Presidential candi-
date who is not even accused OF an
unholy alliance, past, present or
prospective, with the powers that
plunder the consumer by means OF
privilege.
There Is one candidate, and only
one, who faces the future and is not
by the past; one candi-
date and only one who recognizes
the real issue OF the day: one candi-
ua'e and only one who is free to
give his whole service to the people.
His name is Woodrow Wilson,

THE CRIBBED BANDANNA
USED BY ROOSEVELT

'- The banianna' handkerchief Is
an excellent symbol for the social
ed Progressives, being 'cribbed"
from honest old Allan G. Thurman,
of Ohio. 1t was actually used po-
litically, too, when the ticket was
Cleveland and Thurman.
Thurman, be It remembered, be-
ing an old-fashioned statesman,
really used the bandanna. T. r.
seized upon it as a spectacle. just
as he seized upon most of the
planks in his platform.
The bandanna was "cribbed"
from Thurman; the platform from
the Populists and everywhere

he was specific only in those charg-

When Seen at the Mcclure last even
ing Mr.. Sutherland spoke opti-
mtstically Of the political outlook for
Republican victory this fall and took
occasion to state that indications
pointed to the G. o. P.'s putting the
entire state ticket through. His views
are best told in his own words, as
follows:
Political conditions throughout
the state now point strongly toward
Republican success, particularly, with
reference to the state, congressional,
legislative and local tickets. The
members of the party who differ in re-
gard to the national ticket appear to
have agreed to not disagree, and will
allow no disturbing issue to be raised.
They are "a unit in support of DR..
Hatfield and the entire state ticket
and their election seems assured.
There is every prospect, also, that
West Virginia Republicans will send
six congressman to the next Con-
gfess instead of one and in addition,
a United States senator to succeed
Senator Watson.

store was robbed of money and goods
to total value Of close to $500. The
other took place at Monongah where

was taken.
The authorities belieyeethat both
robberles were the work of one party
of thievea- The Musgrave blood
hounds were called when the robber-
les were discovered and we're put on
the trial. The dogs followed trail
which led almost into Fairmont where
it was lost.
Although, there are several theories
regarding the robberies no definite
knowledge of the thieves is held and
the authorities have little to work on
in their efforts to capture the men.
