THANKS TIMES AND FRIENDS.


THANKS TIMES AND FRIENDS.
II want to thank THE TIMES, for its
fight for clean government in West
Hammond and the voters who sup
ported me In the primaries yesterday,
said Mr.. Woczszynski this morning."
If I am elected, 1 will try to show the
people that they have not misplaced
their confidence"
Mr.. Woszczynski was a happy man
this morning. Last night after the
results of the pramaries were an
nounced, hundreds of his friends. in
Guiding many of the successful candi-
dates gathered at his place. 311 State
Line street, and celebrated the victory.
Everybody was happy. that Is those
who were on the winning side. How
the losers will take their defeat re-
mains to be seen.
The anti Woczszynski forces who
We're beaten to frazzle yesterday are
said to be plotting already, as to how
they can regain their loss of yesterday

lowers are expected to make another
fight. although a weak one.
FINNERAN MAKES A MOVE.
That Martin Finneran. Joseph
Goyke's campaign manager had plan
ned some coup. is evidenced by tactics
which was used yesterday afternoon
in the fourth ward. Accompanied by
two policemen, one of them Officer

man, he went INTO the polling room.

may have passed through the mind of
Senator Bankhead. Underwood's man

gestions
UNDERWOOD DENIES
HES IN HARMON DEAL.
The other day Editor Glass quoted
Lieut.. Gov. Nichols. Harmon's manag-
sr. to the effect that Alabama would
later line up for Harmon. The edi-
torial then demanded information as to
whether a deal had been made private
Iy to make Harmon stalking horse OF
Underwood.
The net result of the whole affair
seems to be that Editor Glass has put
Bankhead on record in such a manner
that the Alabama delegation cannot
very well be thrown to Harmon at the
convention. Mr. Glass ought TO be
pleased.
Before taking up the republican SIT
uation in the state 1t should be ex-
planned that fewer than 1000 negroes
are permitted to vote, and half of them
are democrats. After the war the ne
groes practically dominated the state
for time. as they outnumbered the
whites. and were keen to make use of
suffrage granted them by the fifteenth
amendment.
In 1870, the chairman OF the Mont
gomery county republican committee
was tall. lanky negro minister, named
Holland Thompson. He was a Napo-
leon In politics. and in holding conven-
tions he drew the color line against
white republicans.

cants and five plain citizens. -Four ne

the four will go to Chicago.
A convention to select two delegates
to go to Chicago was held in the third
congressional district a few days ago.
Nine counties sent total of four dele
gates to this convention. and all four
were postmasters. They picked two of
their number to go to Chicago
Here is an incident which illustrates
the disposition OF the machine to dis
courage clean republicans from taking
a hand in party affairs.
Baldwin county. in the southwestern
part of tho state, has filed up rapidly
during the past few years with new
Corners from other states many of
whom are Republicans. The machine.
to keep things on an even Keel made a
negro county chairman. The clean re-
publicans called mass meeting. which
was attended by over 200 men. A new
organization was formed and delegates
were selected to attend the state con-
vention
Four or hve days before the
convention. a postmaster. an ex
convict. and two negroes held a
regular" meeting in negro
school house. and elected delegates
to the state convention. These
delegates were unceremoniously
thrown out.
1t Is pleasant to relate. however, that
the Baldwin county insurgents kept on
ignoring the negro chairman and man
aging party affairs in the county.

HE WON,

Before Bismarck reconstructed the map of Europe and made united Germany, a dozen little principalities used to annoy travellers by stopping them at their frontiers until they had satisfied the custom house de mands. A Yankee once had his carriage held up at the frontier of a petty princes country. The Herr Ober, controleur at the custom house came forward and much to his in- dignation was received in a non chalant way. The Yankee was un- gentlemanly enough not to get out of his carriage or even take off his hat. The Herr Ober sharply de manded the key of the tourists trunk, which his subordinate began handling roughly
 Here, hands off" shouted the Yankee q didn't come over here from the United States of America to be controlled by you. Put those trunks back. I'll not go through your country at all I'll turn back.
