Soon after this confession,
Mitsunaga was rushed to trial,
and on the circumstantial evil
dence in the case, and utterly dis
regarding Mitsunaga's tale of

guilty, and he was sentenced to
life Imprisonment in Carson City

But Mitsunaga's countrymen

THE RULE OF THE PEOPLE.

THE RULE OF THE PEOPLE.
The national Progressive party,
committed to the principle Of govern
ment by a seIf-eontrolIed democracy
expressing It's will through represen-
tatives Of the people pledges itself to
secure such alterations In the funda.
mental law Of the several states and
Of the United States as shall insure
the representative character Of the
government.
In particular this party declares for
direct primaries for the nomination
of state and national officers, for ma.
tion-wide preferential primaries for
candidates for the presidency, for the
direct election of United States sena.
tors by the people; and we urge on
the states the policy of the short bal.
lot with responsibility to the people
and recall.
This is the plank in the platform
secured by the initiative, referendum
condeming States Rights, and the re.
vival of the Civil Rights Bill which
the Republicans never passed.

rHE CONGRESSIONAL RACE AMONG
REPUBLICANS IN the 4TH DISTRICT

Atty. Hugh T. Halbert Of st. Paul.
has entered the Congressional race
from the 4th Dist Of Mimi, after filing
by petition as Candidate Of the Ma.
tional Progressive Party. Mr.. Hal.
bert has allowed his name to oe
placed on the ticket as the real Pro-
gressive to oppose Cong. f. @. Stevens,
who has not declared himself as q
Roosevelt follower, but is being sup
ported by many Negroes as a Taft
Republican. The Ellsworth resolu-
ton adopted at the State Progressive
Convention, requires candidate Of
the National Progressive Party in the
field, and for this reason Mr.. Halbert
has entered the race, to promote the
principles of that party, and its plat
form and to carry out the policies Of
Roosevelt. Had Mr.. Stevens been a
Roosevelt Progressive, Mr.. Halbert
would not have entered the field. Now,
while it is a fact that nearly all Of
the Negroes of the 4th district are
for Roosevelt, and the thirl party,
they realize that it Is necessary at this
time that they elect progressive Con-
gressmen to enact progressive legsla-
ton, or to decide presidential con-
tests, if such were necessary. Mr..
Stevens has been idolized by certain
leaders, who have magnified his in.
terest in them. But few hero wor-
shippers do not control the majority

GUARD YOUR ENTHUSIASM.

The Negro voters are interested in
the coming election, and they belong
to all parties. 1t is hoped that they
will not be so deeply interested that
they will make personal attacks
against those Of their race who may
oppose them. Treat each other as
you do the white man. Let US give
every one credit for his political
views, and when the campaign is over,
may there be no strained social rela-
tions on account OF political differ
ences. We can accomplish nothing
under these conditions.
