Now it is being said that the
attempted assassination of Roose-
welt will mean a tidal wave OF
sympathy that will sweep him
into office. 1t seems that the
only chance for Wilson and Taft
is to induce some one to shoot
at them between now and the
election. Blank cartridges will
do, or wax bullet with a lit
tie blood smeared over it-any'
thing to excite the emotion Of
an hysterical nation.

THURSDAY. OCT. "a. 1912.
Be Not Deceived.

The Bull Moose party has put
out full electoral ticket in South
Carolina, which is reason enough
that every true Democrat should 60
TO the polls on November 5 and cast
his vote for Democratic electors.
South Carolina bears the reputation
of being perhaps the most rock
ribbed stronghold of Democracy in
the Union and our grand old State
should not depart from her tradi-
items.
The Bull Moase' proselyters
blatantly boast that the new party
has eliminated the negro as a polit-
ical factor. That is the claim they
set up at the South, where the ne
gro as a politica! asset is Of doubtful
or negative value. But at the North
the Bull Mooses' not only rec
ognize the negro politically, but
so asSiduously cultivate his support
that the sable "Mooses' are en-
couraged to make bolder demands
than they have ever dared to make,
perhaps, Of any other political
party.
Read the following paragraphs,
clipped from a negro paper, and
compare them with the campaign
literature that Is being sent out by
Sherwood Dunn Il Co.:
Over twenty colored men We're
delegates to the recent State Bull
Moose convention which met at Syr-
acuse and nominated Hon Oscar s
Straus for Governor OF New York.
The colored delegates took an active
part in the proceedings Of the con-
vention. Several colored delegates
made speeches, and one of them
seconded the nomination of StrauS
for Governor. Through the intiu-
ence of the colored delegates two
important planks affecting the coll
ored people were put into the plat
form. One plank put the party on
record as denouncing race discrlm-
nation in cafeS and places Of pnOiic
amusement, while the other plank
favors the enlistment of colored
regiment in the National Guards in
the State of New York.
At recent meeting Of the New
York Progressive State committee
the following ngnamed gentlemen were
elected as members of that body;
John r Glced, New York county;
HI Scott, Erie; Rev W H Byrd,
Monroe, and DR. c P McBlenden,
Westchester. All of them are ne
svDeS. This is the largest represent
alton that the colored people Of New
York ever had on the State COM
mittee of a political party. For
over twenty years there has been
hut one colored man on the Repub-
lican State committee.

CONFLICTS of Wyoming ''Pen'
Lynch Negro Charged With
an Attack on an Old Lady

Rawlings, Wyo.. Oct. 2.-Convicts
at the Wyoming state penitentiary to-
day lynched Frank Wigfall, a negro
and ex.convict, who last night was
put in the state institution for safe
keeping. Wigfall was arrested yester-
day on a charge Of attacking Mrs.
Esther Higgins. aged 7S last Sunday.
Wigfall was arrested at Fort Steele,
fifteen miles from here.
Wigfall was placed in cell on the
third foor. This morning as the other
convicts passed Wigfalrs cell on their
way to breakfast the negro laughed
and boasted about his deed. This in
censed the prisoners who quickly per
fected their plans for vengeance.
After breakfast with $50 convicts
in the prison yard. about half Of them
started for the cell house. They over
powered the keeper, who at the time
was changing the negro into another
cell, and locked the keeper in a cell.

One of the convicts produced .
rope. which he had secreted under his
coat. A half hitch was placed around
the negro's neck and he was dropped
from the cell house balcony, a distance
of thirty feet. The force Of the fall
broke Wigfall's neck.
The time consumed in the lynching
was less than five minutes and so
quietly did the prisoners work that
none but the cell house keeper who
was overpowered, knew what was hap
pening. The lynchers then returned
to their work

The Question Of Who Will
be New York Democratic
Governor is Secondary
Consideration.

Syracuse, N. T., Oct. 2.-Prospects
|of a fight over. the platform and the
selection OF permanent chairman
monopolized the interest OF delegates
to the democratic convention today al
most to the exclusion OF the problem
of the ticket.
The declaration Of the county chair
man last night against Governor Dix
helped somewhat to clear the situa.
ton, inasmuch as It was thought to
furnish the leaders with some definite
ground for the elimination OF the gov.
ernor as a candidate for re-nomina-
tion. At the moment Congressman
Sulzer appeared to be in the lead for
the prize. The county chairman's
agreement was based on the belief
that Governor Dix could not be re-
elected. The governors friends. new
ertheless, continued to assert that
there was no excuse for refusing to
give him the nomination.
The supporters of Justice Victor j.
Bowling and Martin H. Glynn main.
tanned today that their candidates
were holding their strength.
1t was expected that the platform
would be ready to submit this after
noon.

makeup Of the republican national

lengthy letter to Colonel Roosevelt
made public by Mr.. Bartholdt last
night, declaring there had been q

q series of charges against Colonel
Roosevelt. Among other things he
attributes Colonel Roosevelt's advo-

insane ambition, and not to an honest
desire for progress; charges him
with being "consciously or unconsc-
ously the tool Of the steel and har-
vester trusts" and with having "base-
ly betrayed friend In the person Of
President Taft. The only fraud at
tempted at Chicago says Mr.. Bart
holdt in his letter, "emanated from
your side in the shape Of fake con-
tests styled as psychological by your
own press and condemned and voted
down by your own friends. Who. then,
is the highwayman?"
or the steel and harvester trusts
matter the letter says:
III President Taft had disregarded
the law and the interests Of the peo-
pie as you have done through the
failure to prosecute these trusts, he
would have had no opposition for the
nomination. But the moment he had
authorized his attorney general to in
stitute proceedings these powerful
combinations looked around for q
candidate with whom to beat Mr.. Taft,
and they settled on you, and furnished
all the money deemed necessary to
carry the primaries"
