CONFERENCE HELD
ON RACE QUESTION,
Clovis Will Protect All
Citizens, Regardless of
Their Color.

Clovis, \. NJ. June PA conference
of railroad men and citizens has been
held here to discuss the possible attitude
of the people of Clovis toward the negro
employees Of the Santa Fe who, might in
future come to Clovis to live. 4She eiti-
zens made it plain that the people of
Clovis were fully in sympathy with the
unfolding of the law and for the pro-
lection Of all citizens regardless of color.
Much regret was expressed over the I'M
profitable advertising that Clovis has re-
ceived from the acts of five or six irres
spOnsible persons who have since fled
the town and who never had the interest
of the town at heart. Two rewards OF
$3.50 each were offered by the citizens
present. One for the apprehension and
conviction of any of those guilty OF the
recent disturbance among the negroes
of the town. and one for the arrest and
conviction of anyone guilty of such con-
duct in the future.
Jewell Kimberlin went down to Por
tales to arrange for the transfer of the
stock of dry goods of W. l. Luikhart,
who has recently joined Mr.. Kimberlin
in partnership in the dry goods business
at this place.

of the farmers TO raise a certain number
of acres of beets. "When the news Of
the proposed factory got out land values
began to rise" said the witness. %and
the farmers were so busy selling land
they didn't have time to raise beets

Mr.. LONGS COMMENT
ON HYNSON SPEECH

George b Hynson, Sucker ticket
candidate for governor, by the grace
OF the .Allee-Layton-N Ball-Mc-
Commons OUTFIT said Samuel Wesley
Long, omitted many things in his
speech last night. which would have
been highly Illuminating
For instance he failed to tell how,
after splitting his representation to
the Pr grussive convention at Chica-
go with j. Frank Alice, he gracefully
nominated Mr. Alice as a half dele
gate and Alice, not to be outdone in
courtesy, named George b. Hynson as
the other half.
"Mr. Hynson also failed TO tell Of
his having shared a room at Chi
cago hotel with the former Addicl1s
lieutenant Some say Messrs. Alice
and Hynson even slept in the same
bed.
"Of course, continued Mr.. Long, lit
was but natural that having become
imbued with political virtue, by this
close companionship that Hynson
should become a virtual Sir Galshad
Of political reform.
MIR. Hynson could never have re-
ceived even the Sucker nomination
without the votes Of the Alice dele
gates. Surely gratitude is not dead
in the breast of the militant George
b.
with becoming modesty. Mr.. Hyn-
son hides behind the nom de plume Of
'Bystander,' in a Wilmington Demo
cratic daily and boosts his own
Sucker cause and berates Mr..
Charles r. Miller and others, myself
included.
Behind his Bystander' mask Mr..
Hynson makes cowardly and lying
attacks which. he would not have the
moral courage TO make in the open.
Gould there be better evidence of
the intent Of the Sucker candidate to
turn tho State into Democratic con
troll than the fact that this Demo
cratic paper publishes his shallow
pated pizzle?
stop and think for a moment. you
friends Of Colonel Roosevelt, who
have joined in a eau run under
false pretenses. would a Democratic
Wilson or bust newspaper open its
columns TO anything that would in
the least degree aid In securing votes
for tho Progressive Presidential can

forgotten That Il is-the OnnooenD by
