1t is up to you. each indiuiduaI yotey, not to let this
cause of the people suffer defeat through negligence, or
through the efforts of machine politicians.
You will be met by trickery. You will be met by re.
peaters. You will be met by the guerilla tactics of men
bent on defeating the peoples will. You will be met by
every desperate device that can be thought of to offset
your vote and stifle your voice in the result.
Every possible trick and influence that can be used to
keep Roosevelt voters away from the primaries Tonight
to count out the Roosevelt ballots-will be employed.
"Win by fair means or foul" is the order to the machine
district bosses. They privately concede that the
Roosevelt sentiment is in the majority. but openly boast
of their ability to overcome it. .
Yet, with all this, they cannot overcome it if you will
all 60 out and vote! There will be no inaction or leth-
argy on the part of the opposition-there must be none
on yours.
Get there as early as you can and mark TN the circle
under the black square.
This is your opportunity to name a Presidential candi-
date who can and will win in November. This is your
time to make the local machine recognize your right to a
voice in the party.
The few hours that remain between now and nine
o'clock are hours of destiny. which may and probably will
affect the history of the country.
Awaken to your duty-awaken to the danger that
this struggle courageously represents the principles that
you believe in; he will put them into effect. If you do not
vote for him at to-nights primaries you may not have an
opportunity to vote for him in November.
Ten minutes of action by you tonight may save four
years of regret.
The evening world., 1912-03-26

This battle is the peoples cause. If the Roosevelt men
all vote at the primaries tonight they will sweep the
county like a whirlwind. But you must fight with
your votes until the polls close tonight if you are to win!
Give up ten minutes of your time to Theodore Roose.
welt for the seven years that he gave up for you!
The polls are open until nine o'clock. After that it
will be too late. Get out and cote. There is ample time
after you read this to get to your polling place and to
take with you a Republican neighbor whose feet may be
tagging.
Theodore Roosevelts fight is for you. The only inter-
ests he kn0US or has ever 0beyed are your interests. He
believes the people should have their way.
The only way to have your uay is to vote at to-nights
primaries and to cote for Roosevelt. Don't waver. Don't
TRUST to luck. Don t shirk your duty.
The most careful canvass ever made of the voters of
New York County has just been completed. 1t shows
that Seventy Per Gent. of the enrolled Republican voters of
the County are in favor of Roosevelts nomination.
Yet such are the methods being followed by the des-
perate opposition that every cote Of that seventy per cent.
wW be needed before the polls close tonight
The canvass shows that a substantial majority of the
enrolled Republican voters in tscentytoMr of the tbn7yJIve
Assembly Districts favor Roosevelt.
Are you going to be counted out by not going to the
polls to vote?
That is not Theodore Roosevelts method of doing
things. Whe,ruer and yhenever duty calls he anue,.
His battle in this city tonight. like Lincoln's four.year
struggle. depends upon the plain people. Throughout
the city. wherever the plain. honest citizenship of New
York predominates. the Roosevelt vote is strongest.

last Saturday night, for watch she is
being held in the county Jail, Mrs.
Alverta Gentry will not be permitted
to attend his funeral services, either
in the Masonic midnight exercises
Saturday night or the public services
at o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Strenuous and positive objection
to her presence has been made to the
county attorneys office and the sher-
LIT by immediate relatives and a
iarge number of prominent and high
Masons. Whether the Masonic lodge
has taken any action in this matter
has not been made known publicly,
but II was admitted by many mem
bers that III necessary the lodge
will request the proper officers not
to permit Mrs. Gentry co participate
In any manner whatsoever in the
funeral services.
The accused woman was notified
Tuesday morning that her request to
the county attorney to attend the
funeral had been denied When the
Jailor informed ner Of this she did
not utter a word, nor did she seem
disappointed. She has been expect
ing that she would be allowed to go
and she still entertains hope than
her wishes will be respected.
Although County Attorney Hooker
denied the request OF Mrs Gentry but
stated Tuesday that he viii not en-

NOT CRAZY
IS GENERAL.
OPINION
THIS YOUNG GIRL is POS
SESSED OF PECULIAR DE-
SIRES, IF HONEST

The general opinion now of every
one that has seen and talked with
the young girl whose strange story
was related in yesterdays paper, is
that they do not think sac is dement,
ed, but that she has motive for act
ing that way.
Chief Mitchell said late yesterday
that he thought her main reason to
obtain admission to the federal jail
was to get into communication with
Charles Maust, alias Ben Crayens.
When the Jail was the topic of his
conservation to her, she could be in
terested in no other name that was
mentioned. 1t seems tnat III it is her
motive to see CraVens, or Maust, She
Is either given large enough salary
TO pay her we'll for the risk She is
running or is in some way connect
ed with aim. Ii is thought that sne
has some document to give him, ana
II such is her motive, She might have
only a few words OF advice from
some one for him
John Laneiitt, federal jailor says
that after seeing ner he thinks her
case may lie the san as seveaiaR
others that have been brought to his
notice since he has Deen on duty AT
TINS jail. He says that a man can
be bluffed out, but when a woman de-
termlnes to do tling she Will try
every means she can think of IN or.
der to gain her end. He says that
she may have lover Or pgssi
bly, husband who mysteri0usly dis
appeared, and that in some manner
sne heard he was in jail in some
part OF this state Thinking So much |
OF him tnat she could NOT rest untu
she had exhausted every possible |
means of finding him, she set our on |
this fruitless trip. She perhaps
thought that sac would be allowed I
to go into the iails and mingle with /
the prisoners and thus keep ner real /
motive to herself But being thwart-
ed at every move to do this. she /
thought she would try this other way 1
and see II it would meet WITH any (
better results
II this is the case, and this is the /
first place she mas tried it. she has +
no doubt come to the conclusion that
her efforts will be of no avail Mr. I
Langfitt thinks that in this case it /
would more likely be a lover than I
a husband but no matter when it is
or whether this is the case at all. 1
'r not, she viii not be allowed 10 f
