of the criminal as well as civil law

REPUBLICAN HOPE
RESTS IN WILSON
Gov. Burke Declares for Demo-
crat and Gives His Reasons.
BY JOHN BURKE,
Governor Of North Dakota.

The election OF Governor Wilson is
the only thing that can save the Re-
publican party. Four years of Presi-
dent Taft has split it In two. We
have no reason to believe that he will
be any different or that his second ad-
ministration, If he is reelected, will
be any more satisfactory to the people
than his first. His reelection will
mean the division of the Republican
party into many warning factions,
which can only result In fnal dissolu-
ton Of all

as certain If Roosevelt is elected, tor
he lie NO longer a Republican, but -
the leader OF new party, at war with
the Republican party, as it is with The
Democratic party. On the other hand
if Wilson is elected the Roosevelt par
ty will perish the Republicans will
reorganiEe their party, purge II OF the
baneful influence of corporate power
and greed and make 1t again the
grand old party it was in the days Of
Lincoln.

| Ill IL Is destroyer, llle government is
not free. And until the govern
ment is free, it can not serve you or
I any man."
Democracy seeks to maintain
equality Of opportunity.
1t holds that the best way to pro-
mote the welfare of the nation is
to give each individual "a chance to
earn an independent livelihood and
to engage in individual enterprise
and business.
1t aflirms that this is impossible
where monopoly exists.
1t declares that monopoly should
be eXterminated by the Govern
ment. 1t will never consent to the
government taking monopoly under
its protection or entering into a
partnership with the predatory
interests.
1t believes in dissolving the trusts
and Furnishing those who have dar-
ed to organize them.
1t charges that monopoly is to a
large extent responsible for the
present exorbitant cost of living
1t points to the fact that monop-
oily has, almost without exception
ground its labor to the point of
starvation.
1t challenges attention to the fact
that during the Administrations of
Taft and Roosevelt, the number of
monOpolies increased from IA to
1920 and the capital increased
$3,O00O00,000.00 to over $30,0O0,-
100000.
1t Asks You to Remember:
That Roosevelt directly sanction
ed the consummation of the Steel
Trust monopoly, by granting i'm
munity from punishment to his
friends Morgan, Perkins ct al, when
they absorbed the Tennessee Coal
& Iron Company.
That at the demand and threat
Perkins, Roosevelt stopped the pros
ecution of the Harvester Trust.
That the prosecutions brought by
the Taft administration against the
Standard Oil, the Tobacco Trust
and other large concerns, have been
nothing but examples of legal leg
erdemain, resulting invariably in
enormously increasing the stock
values of the dissolved concerns"
Democracy calls the attention of
the voters to the fact that the Steel
Trust and Harvester Trust, mana9-
ed by "ROosevelt's manager" Per
kins; and the Wooden Trust, one of
Taft's principal hackers, have sup
planted the skilled American and
foreign.born labor of their mills by
thousands Of foreigners imported in
violation of laws; and that they
have reduced these poor creatures
to the point of actual starvation.
These interstate monopolieS have
Waged inCe5sant warfare on all
forms of labor organizations, and
have crushed with an iron hand
and remOrseless cruelty every effort
of their impoverished toilers Tor the
betterment of their condition.

FATAL FAMILY FRACAS.
One Dead, Two Wounded in Georgia
Shooting Scrape.

Dublin, Ca, April 6.-John T.
Dean is dead, his mother, Mrs. Mary
Dean, is probably fatally shot, and a
younger son is badly wounded as a
result of a shooting affray at the
Dean house, 20 miles south of here,
early to-day. The shooting was done
by three Dean brothers and Steve
Tompkins, a middle-aged white man.
According to reports received here,
Tompkins had been visiting Mrs.
Dean and had been warned to cease
his visits by the sons. When he call
ed again last night, quarrel en-
sued, in which, according to Tomp-
kins, one of the Dean boys fired the
first shot and in the tussle over the
pistol John Dean was killed.
Another version of the shooting is
that Tompkins had ordered the Deans
from their home and when they dis
regarded his orders he went to the
house and f1ourished a pistol over the
Deans causing the shooting. Tomp-
kins was arrested. He is married
man with a family. Mrs. Dean is a
widow with five children.

FOILED IN SUICIDE ATTEMPT.
Took Poison, Jumped in River,
Saved at Augusta.

Augusta, Ca, April 6.-After
making every preparation to insure
certain death, Bedford Gleason,
white man, giving his residence as
255 West oath street, New York
city, was pulled out of the Savannah
river at 8 o'clock this morning by
the crew of a dredging outfit. He
was rushed to the City Hospital and
is now on the road to recovery.
Luckily, Gleason jumped on some
jetties, submerged only about four
ieet beneath the surface of the water
in the middle of the river, and the
crew of the dredge boat Tugaloo
heard his cries and went to his as
sistance.
In order to be sure that he would
end his life, Gleason took large
dose of bichloride of mercury, and
then carried a heavy piece of iron to
the central span of the Southern Rail-
way trestle and tied it to his body
before making the leap to the water,
fifty feet below. The physicians
pumped the poison from his stomach
and he is resting we'll to-day, al
though he refuses to give any reason
for his attempted suicide. He says
that he has been in a New York hos
pital twice for operations. He is a
young man and had destroyed every
mark of Identification before he leap
ed from the bridge, and other than
telling his name and address will
not talk.

Pendarvis Again Convicted.

St. George, April 4.-Convicted of
the killing of Charles C. Wimberly at
an "egg-picking" in March, 1910,
John Pendarvis was this morning
given sentence of nine years in
the State penitentiary or upon the
public works of Dorchester county.
The jury brought in a verdict of
manslaughter late yesterday after
noon, after deliberating for approxi-
mately an hour. AS soon as the
verdict was announced, Mr.. Weeks,
of counsel for the defence, gave no
tice of a motion for a new trial.
Judge Shipp, after hearing argu-
rent this morning, overruled the mo-
ton, and sentence, which was sus-
pended yesterday afternoon because
of the lateness of the hour, was pro-
nounced.
