ory across the street kept vacant
for the possible use of militia
men if they be needed; this is
picture of the republican con-
vention selling out to the high
est bidder"
L. G. Richardson of Bossburg
has announced his candidacy for
county clerk, on the democratic
ticket. The announcement comes
as result of much solicitation
by business men and lawyers of
the county, who desire to see
the clerks Office in charge of
some man with the amount of
clerical experience and ability to
handle the office in a satisfactory
manner. Mr.. Richardson has
had this experience, is excep-
tionally we'll known over the
county, and is liked by all. For
more than a year he has been
the secretary of the county
federation Of commercial clubs,
and has taken an active interest
in the upbuilding of the county
mostly at his own expense.
He comes from a section of the
county which is entitled to recog-
milton for some good office, but
his ability is so known through
out the county as to merit him
much promised support at the
outset.
Rumors and report, that are
being frequently repeated, that
M. E. Hay will withdraw from
the race for the republican nomi-
nation for governor, in my opin-
ion have no basis in fact. On.
the contrary believe Hay and
his brother expect to spend more
money than has before been
turned loose in a gubernatorial
fight in Washington and that
Hay himself will promise any
thing, make any old kind of a
deal, if he thinks he can get
votes. Both he and his brother
refer to his present term as "ac-
cidental." At first they were
inclined to accept the situation
and Hay started out to do his
best for the term planning to quit
when it was ended. During the
early part of Hays administra-
ton, when he had this idea, his
errors while numerous were due
entirely to ignorance and were
errors of judgment, not of intent.
Why, in those days Hay actually
used to pay his personal travel
ing expenses out Of his own
funds.
Two things contributed to ruin
Hays hopes as an executive.
First he got the bug for office
and with it the disposition not to
do what was right but what ap-
pearcd to be the most polite, and
secondly he broke into society.
Guided by the first bug he has
been on every side of every prop
osition that has come up in
the state for the past two
years. He has had no firm nor
settled policy on anything, ex-
cept try to get the votes. +"
The "sasiety" stunt has been
the limit. It was to be expected.
Hay Rad made his fortune in the
Big Bend country, had decided
to move to Spokane to break into
the society to which his wealth
would give him entree. He had
bought a fine residence there
and decided he would run for
lieutenant governor in his social
climbing. He had made all ar

w ashington, Nov. 27.-Isidor Ray.

from which he had been a sufferer
for five years, following an. acute Ill,
ness of six weeks. Mr.. Rayner lay In
comatose condition for nearly
week before passing away.
u Senator Rayner attempted to enter
actively into the Democratic campaign
and met Bourke Cochran in joint de-
bate at Baltimore late in September.
The effort exhausted him and he be-
came seriously i'll Immediately after

had attained national reputation be-
cause of his vigorous conduct Of the
late Admiral Schley's case before the
naval board of inquiry that investi-

Spanish fleet.
He was sixty-two years old and
was boln in Baltimore. He was a

His death may affect control of the

New York, Nov. 26.-In fire that
swept the Brunswick Home for Idiots,
Epileptics and Feeble-Minded at
Amityville, L. l., Sunday, one man
was burned to death and several others
who are missing are believed to have
persisted. Eight hundred inmates Of
the various buildings of the institu!
tons were led out to safety. Some
Of them, too enfeebled by their Attic
tons to walk, were taken out in thrill
ing rescues. ~.
When the flames, famed by a
southeast wind, threatened the ada
cent Long Island Home and Louden
hall, several hundred inmates of that
Institution were also led out.
The man burned to death was Fritz
Mondary, thirty years old. of New
York city. He was sent to the home
five years ago. He escaped from the
building when the fire was discovered
but returned to rescue his pet canary
and persisted. Other inmates were
seen to run back toward the flaming
building and all of them have not
been accounted for.
An attendant first discovered the
fire. the cause of which is not known,
In one of the dormitories. The staff
of the home Immediately set. to work
carrying out the helpless, fifteen Of
whom were found lying on their cots
terror-stricken as the fire cracked
In the next room. Hurry calls for as
ststance were sent out and fremen
from six Long Island towns re-
sponded.
The walls of the Brunswick Home
collapsed soon after the last inmate
had been carried out. In the mean
time Louden hall and the Long Island
Home were emptied of their occu-
pants.
Hundreds Of residents OF Amity-
vile used automobiles, horses and
bicycles to round up the insane in
mates, none of whom are believed to
have escaped.
