ROOSEVELT
OLD PARTY WILL DECLARE FOR
ROUGH RIDER AND THEN
DISBAND PERMANENTLY
Western Press

Western Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-What is left
of the Populist party may indorse
Theodore Roosevelt at st. Louis three
weeks hence and then disband. At
least that is the program laid out for
the organization. James II. Ferris of
Joliet is accredited with devising the
plan. In his paper, the Joliet News,
he issued the call for the Populist ma
tional convention and then devoted the
rest of the issue to encomiums of
Colonel Roosevelt.
The party is expected as it did
four years ago not to nominate a
presidential candidate of its own but
to indorse a candidate already chosen,
Colonel Roosevelt, except that in the
last campaign William Jennings Bry-
an was indorsed.
Only one new member of the Pro-
gressive executive committee was Sc
lected today. Judge Ben B. Lindsey of
Denver is practically certain to be
chosen. Miss Jane Adams will go
on the committee and she may be ask
ed to take charge of the organization
Of the women of the country.
Roosevelt thinks very highly of Miss
Addams.

ELECTRIC CHAIR
FINDS MANY VICTIMS

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Twenty-two
years ago this week, ON Augugt G.
1890. William Kcmmlcr, a condemned
murderer. was put to death in the elec.
tic chair In Auburn prison. Kemmier
was the first person to be legally exc
cnted by electricity in the United
States and his case was the subject
Of wide discussion at the time. The
action OF New York in substituting the
eiectric chair for the gallows has been
found generally satisfactory and her
example has been Followed by Ohio.
Virginia, South Carolina, Massachu-
sets and Kentucky. and New Jersey.
Since the execution OF Kemmler
there have been 154 persons put to
death in the electric chair in New
York. The state prison authorities es-
Innate that It costs ahour S400 per in.
dividual TO carry out the capital pun
tsnment mandate. on the basis of
this estimate New York state has cx-
pended about $4,000 for electrocu-
tions since that form of inflicting the
death penalty was introduced.
Several times the electric chair at
Sing Sing has had two victims in one
day, and on one occasion, a short time
ago, three persons WIRE put to death
within period of twenty-four hours
But never before has there been such
a wholesale execution of death SEN

WHEN SPEER WANTS TO GO TO
JAIL JUDGE SAYS HE IS
PURGED OF CHARGE
Western Press

Western Press
DENVER, Aug. 1o.-Judge Hubert
l.. Shattuck in the criminal court this
morning set aside the sentence he had
imposed upon Robert Speer, the for
mer mayor, for contempt of court and
imprisonment in the county Jail for
five days and fine of $1,000 and
Speer was declared purged Of con-
tempt.
The courts action was taken at the
request of Speer. He appeared in
court at and announced that he would
not appeal to the supreme court for
writ of supersedeas. He insisted that
he had purged himself of contempt
by his answers and testimony at his
trial and told the court IL the court
didn't agree with him the commitment

Judge Shattuck announced that both
the fine and Jail sentence were re-
mitted. Speer then asked tho court
to take the same action in the case
against f. G. Bonfils of the Post; SEN
fenced by Judge Shattuck to imprison-
ment for sixty days and to pay fins
of $4,000 and costs for contempt, Sim
liar to that Of whichc Speer was con-
yicted.
Speer ignoring the fact that the su-
preme court has taken jurisdiction in
the Bonfils' case asked Judge Shattuck
to reopen it and permit Mr.. Bonfls
to purge himself of contempt in the
same manner adopted by Speer. Bon
fils is out of town and Speer's action
is quite gratuitous.
Judge Shattuck replied that he did
not feel that he could take the mi

into court, however, he said, the doors

1t Is thus easy to understand how
Democratic tariff legislation will up
set prosperity. The matter Is one Of
vital interest to the farmer because
in the Democratic tariff bills passed
by the house and vetoed by the presi-
dent. cereals we're placed on the free
list. This means that all the grain
producing countries in the world. and
especially our neighbor upon the
northern border, would send in wheat
and corn and deprive the American
farmer of his market.
In 1892. when there was prosperity
under Republican administration. a
majority of the people voted In favor
of change and elected Grover Cleve-
land president. What happened then
will happen again. There will come
anxiety and distress. with many
thousands Of factories closed. mil
lions Of workingmen out Of employ.
ment and the farmer suffering under
low prices and decreased value of his
farm lands.
The way to avoid this result is to
vote for Taft and Sherman and the
entire Republican ticket.
