WHITMAN 8 EYES
ON JURY F|XER'

NEW YORK, Oct. Extraordinary
precautions are being taken to prevent
any tampering with jurors in the trial
of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker
for the murder of Herman Rosenthal.
This became known today when the
third weeks session began.
The suspicious actions of man be-
lieved to be a Jury fixer" about the
court have been worrying District At
torney Whitman. Detectives have for
several days been keeping close watch
on man formerly well known about
the courts. In other days he was cred
1ted with taking a significant interest
in the influence that might affect pros
pective Jurors. The district attorney
himself saw several things recently and
had others reported to him of sugges-
tons to reach the jurors, and immedi-
ately put private detectives to watch
ing this man.
End of Trial in Siqht.
This week is likely to wind IN the
trial and verdict is expected early
next week. Becker and his wife are ex-
pected to testify Wednesday.
Among the rumors in circulation to-
day was one that William Shapiro and
the four indicted gunner would testify
for Becker. Shapiro drove the murder
car and is under Indictment
1t has been reported that Shapiro
despite his affidavit in the hands of the
district attorney that he could not iden-
tify any Of the men in his car. is ready
to swear that Schepps and WALTON were
among them. The gunner. according
to the same rumors, are eager to tes-
tify that they were not in the car and
an alibi will be their defense in their
own trial.
1t will materially help their case If
they can prove that the state witnesses
We're in the car.
Becker seemed to have been improved
by his day of rest and looked fresher
and in better spirits today than when
court adjourned Saturday afternoon. He
leaned forward eXpectantlv when Jo-
seph B. Shepard. a former member of
his strong arm" squad was recalled
for cross examination by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Frank Moss.

POLITICAL Comment

Valley City Times-Record: From
every section of the state comes the
report that Hon. L. B. Hanna is win
ming greater favor than ever in the
past. The reason is apparent. With
the active campaign of Mr.. Hanna put
into operation keener interest was
aroused among the voters and they de-
manded to know the record of the diff
ferent candidates. This investigation
showed the splendid achievements of
Mr.. Hanna and made him thousands of
friends in every section. Another thing
that has helped our senior congress-
man is the fact that many of his enc
mics, not being allie to find good ar
gument against Mr.. Hanna, have
stopped to petty abuse and nastiness
of personalities. There might have
been time when such tactics would
have had the desired effect but with
the mass OF information that has been
scattered over the state during the past
campaign the interest of the voter has
been aroused and he demands the
truth-nothing else will satisfy. Once
Re has had the truth another supporter
of Mr.. Hanna has been made.

1t ought not to escape attention that
for each month this year for which
the figures are available the immigra-
ton has been the greatest for the last
four years. One of the earliest signs of
the relaxation from the intensity of
prosperity from which the farsighted
prayer that we might be delivered was
an outward flow of labor. Its return
may signify the reversal of the current
and the quickening of the pace of pros
perity. Labor is now almost as liquid
as credit or gold, which flow to where
there is greatest demand or profit.
When our labor market is slack the
human machines put themselves into re-
tirement and wait for revival of the
demand which they supply. This marks
distinction between the new and the
old immigration. The old in1migra-
ton was more permanent, and had a
more abiding effect upon citizenship.

BEWARE OF oesTRUC1IoNIsrs

The men who are claiming that YES
perman did not make a good commits
sioner are the same men who have
sought in every way to handicap and
harass him since he was appointed-and
legally appointed as commissioner,
according to the supreme court.
These cheerful individuals sought in
every way, by intimidation, law suits
and threats to keep anyone from serv-
ing the county as commissioner and
then 60 about attacking the same man
they have been seeking to intimidate
for the past two years. Now that the
supreme court has passed upon the le-
gality OF the appointment of Vesper-
man, those who have been hitting be-
low the belt are loud in their claims
OF having been inspired by the inter-
ests Of the voters" As matter of
fact they have been influenced by sell
fish motives all the way through.
Elect Vesperman as county commits
sioner, and eliminate the trouble ma
kers from the field, and no one will
have word to say truthfully against
his record
He is capable man, an experienced
accountant, square as die and just
such man as will give the best serv-
ice. Any criticism Of his actions in
the past should be heard with knowl-
edge of the fact that those who are
criticising have been striving all the
time to convince everybody that he was
not entitled to his seat and could not
legally act. They have been putting
obstacles in the way all the time
This is hardly the action of men who
are interested in the county or in the
administration of county affairs fol
the good of the people.

Mr., HANNA's RECORD

The republican voters OF North Da-
kota know L. B. Hanna well. They
have watched his career in business and
politics and they will pay little atten-
ton to the work of an imported muck
raker who seeks to mislead the peo-
pie as to Mr.. Hanna's record in the
legislature.
1t comes with poor grace from a
hired representative OF the opposition
to Hanna to pass upon the merit OF
the bills introduced and supported by
Mr.. Hanna. The voters of the state
know his record better than any out
side critic, who comes here in the
midst of primary campaign and puts
forth criticism of Hanna for hire.
If anything were needed to prove
the absence of single reason why Mr..
Hanna should not be supported by the
republicans of the state, it is the pres
ence of a paid muckraker, whose bust
ness is to misrepresent and mislead.
MI. Hanna has been builder in
North Dakota. He has always been
loyal to its interests He has been
faithful and capable in whatever pub
lie capacity he has served the people.
What has the paid hreling who now
attacks him done for the people of
North Dakota?
How does he compare with Hanna
as a citizen, when he comes here from
another state on a paid mission to dis
tribute campaign canards?

TRUST INTERESTS AND CUBA

Senator Nelson's charge connecting
American trust interests with the pres
ent disorder i'll Cuba should be thor
oughly investigated, says the Washing
ton Star 1t presents new phase OF
the trust question very much graver
than any hitherto developed To mani
pulate properties so as to control
prices of commodities and pile up
wealth in a few hands for the benefit
of a few persons is a small offense
by comparison with fomenting an
armed revolt based on racial lines
against friendly government. If the
sugar trust has had any part or lot
in what now threatens the Gomez gov
eminent in Cuba it should III some way
be brought to book.
There is a good deal of foreign capt.
tai invested in Cuba, and liberal por-
ton is American. 1t is there by right,
and has been of benefit to the island.
The hope of Cuba under the Cuban
flag is in development through such
means.
But this money has been invested
with full knowledge of Cuban condi-
tions and OF the attitude of the Amer
lean government toward the Cuban
government Cuba is free, and the
best sentiment in the United States
desires that she shall remain so. An
nexation would for long time be a
burden to us; and our load is already
heavy enough. We do not want Cuba,
and should resist strenuously all
schemes of whatever nature and in
spired in whatever quarter for forcing
the island on us.
And if the sugar trust is guilty, the
penalty should be the heavier for the
character of the revolt inspired. We
are not strangers to the race question.
We have known it from the founda-
ton of Our own government. African
slavery troubled us in the early stages
of our venture, and grew in power I'm
til it produced the civil war. Then
came the enfranchisement of the blacks
by the national authority, and then
their disfranchisement by state author
tiles; and today we have a race ques-
ton sufficiently difficult to keep us all
anxious on that score.
Financing war calls for large re-
sources. Even bands of bushwhackers
without general organization require
They may levy on the coun-
try for rations for themselves and
provender for their horses, but they
must have arms and liberal renewals
Of ammunition, and money and out
side connections are the reliance.
If it is true, then, that in Cuba
md in Mexico American capital is as
'istng turmoil, in the hope and for
he purpose of forcing annexation, the
owners of such capital and their agents
hould be exposed and dealt with. The
enator from Minnesota is not a SEN
ationalist; and as he stands sponsor
rom the inquiry asked, the request
hould receive prompt attention. He
will of course assist in every way to |
make it thorough.
