The Chicago Post, an influential In

pounds this question to Republicans:
why not Wilson?
This question is addressed particu-
larly to Republicans.
Governor Wilson suits the Demo

Democrats who are worthy to be call

like this. why should not Wilson suit

why not Wilson?
Governor Wilson is a thoroughbred
American gentleman. not only In the
accident of birth. but in his every ideal.
impulse and principle That should be
the first requirement of every presi

Governor Wilson is a tried and
trustworthy executive. His brilliant
record as governor Of New. Jersey
proves that.
Governor Wilson is an eminently
sane and sensible man He is nm emf

fed every place which he has held
He has performed a splendid public

Governor Wilson is and always has

Governor Wilson stands for honesty

by graft and inefficiency.
Governor Wilson stands for tbe

Little Rock, May 30.--The detec tives and local authorities who are working on the case of Jack the Shooter" are convinced of two things. That there are several men engaged in the perpetration of the crimes that have terrorized the peo- pie, and that Sam Brasfield, man arrested at Searcy Wednesday, is the man who shot and killed the child of D. F. Coulter, May 19.
 Brasfield, former member of the was discharged two years ago, is in safe quarters where he is being care fully guarded by the police. They had worked up strong chain of evil dence against him before he was ar rested, and the police are confident that they have the right man. He has been positively identified by Miss Marion Smith, aged 15 years, who was Mrs. Coulter at the time the lat ter's child was shot and killed Miss Smith had seen him during the pre- ceding day at Forest Park, where she is employed, and the theory is that he followed her and forced his way into her room for unlawful purposes. It is said that during recent years Brasfield has had "queer" spells and frequently left home for week at time without telling his wife where he was going. He was indicted by the federal grand jury April on charge of impersonating postoffice inspect or, and is under $500 bond on that charge.
