today. One outcome Of the shooting
was direct change in the editorial
policy Of the New York Herald, which
heretofore had rule that the name
of Colonel Roosevelt should not be
mentioned. Today the name OF the
wounded candidate appeared in big
type, and it was made plain by the
Herald in a leading cartoon that,
while II opposes the Roosevelt poll
cies, 1t "admires his pluck"
John Schrank, Il is agreed, Is
mentally deficient and It is pointed
out that he is representative OF a
type that is readily Influenced. Be
cause Of his the change in political
methods has been decided on by all
campaign managers and abusive per-
sonal politics will no longer be toler-
ated Incidentally, the wounding OF
the Colonel has halted all of the
stump speakers. Bede and Harlan,
who were camping on the Colonel's
trail. have been recalled. Governor
Wilson will cancel all Of the public
dates he can. President Taft has
not been on the stump at all.
Until the Progressives decide what
they will do in going ahead with their
speaking campaign II is not believed
Governor Wilson will make any plans
although the host OF minor speakers
now on the stump will continue, mere

have been closed and the workers
forced from employment.
This is the man You are asked to

During the address the Socialists
asked II there was any country where
the purchasing power of a dollar was
less than In this country. Mr.. Vale
said II was a fair question and he
illustrated his answer by comparing
the bread riots Of Italy. where 1t re-
quired larger portion OF a mans
earnings to buy a pound of beefsteak
than here. He said that higher wages
mean higher cost OF living, but that
the man OF prudence was enabled to
save money. With a low traffic. or
free trade, cost OF living was low but
in many cases one would not have
the dollar 20 purchase the necessities
