The following is from the Kansa.

The following is from the Kansas
City Journal:
"a political worker-it was
in the old days-went to
member of the Legislature of his
State and asked for a Job as
door-tender.
Find door without a door
tender and you can have it, were
the big mans instructions.
The worker looked around
for several days and then re-
ported.
81 can't find a door without
plenty of door-tenders.'
No door,
Nary door. Guess I'll go
home
Wait bit. You've been a
good party worker. I'll have a
door cut for you"
The above is given space here be
cause it is so applicable to Demo
cratic good government in this State

ture meets the Democrats dish on

WILSON AND THE GOVERNOR
SHIP.

The following press dispatch was
sent out from Seagrit, n. j., Monday
afternoon:
Governor Wilson returned
to-day from a visit to the home
of a friend near Seagrit and an
nounced that he would forego
his weekly trip to Trenton, and
again go into seclusion to-mor-
row to write his speech OF &C
ceptance. Governor Wilson hopes
to write the speech within two i
or three days. The Governors
friends announced to-day, but
only on condition that their
names would not be used, that
Wilson had decided definitely
not to resign the Governorship
during the Presidential cam
paign."
It seems since the Governor failed
to secure a pension from Mr.. Car
gle that he is determined to get pen
sion from New Jerseys State treas
ury. Since his nomination for Presi-
dent he has been making visit to
the State Capitol only once a week,
and this week will not go at all! At
this distance it appears that Cover
nor Wilson should give the Cover
nor's Office some little attention, or
.hat he cbouId resign
Governor Wilson probably has two
reasons for not resigning. He tells
his Democratic friends that if he re-
signs the State of New Jersey will
have a Republican Governor, as the
Lieutenant-Govern is a Republi-
can, but it is very probable that his
strongest reason for not wanting to
resign is the fact it would separate
him from his monthly pay check.
However, the Governor is due it to
the taxpayers of New Jersey to at
tend to the matters of State or send
in his resignation.

Thinks Bryan Spoiled the Pie.
Southport News. ]

Southport News.1
"In-~speaking TO a friend OF the
support which Speaker Clark had
strangely drawn from known reac-
tionary sources. Colonel Bryan saked:
What Is the value of Mr.. Murphy's
support, IL that support is necessary
to a nomination? Is Ii not the value
of the nomination itself? And would
not a President be very ungratfeul IL,
after receiving the highest honor in
the gift of the people in the world, he
should turn a deaf ear to one without
whose aid his elevation would have
been impossible?"
Would Mr.. Bryan have us think
that when Tammany supported him
in Denver in 1908, and really caused
his nomination, that he would have
turned a deaf ear" to the wishes of
Charles F. Murphy had he been elect
ed?
Was Bryan's idea of honor such as
to betray his State into swinging her
vote over to Wilson and so cause
stampede to him? Champ Clark
was Nebraska's candidate, and Mr..
Bryan was instructed to vote for
him.
Already the effect of the treachery
to the Democratic party is bearing
fruit. Ex-senator Pettigrew, of South
Dakota, is one of dozen prominent
men who are so disguised with a
party which is still under the thumb
of a man who has three times led to
it to defeat, that they have left the
party and will support the third par
ty. Camp Clark has many loyal
friends who see in Bryan's actions a
well laid plan. The end is not yet.
The Democratic party had an oppor-
tunity never before eQualed in it's
history, all spoiled because of Bryan.

squarely upon the proposition
that fraud vitiated for Mr. Taft
all moral and legal claim TO the
nomination.
THAT being the case. the
Colonel contends, Mr.. Taft's
stolen status must not, under
any contingency. be recognized"
The North American then says that
it will be a good thing to have one or
more new party movements when
ever necessary TO express the will OF
the people, as was necessary TO elect
Lincoln.
The editorial concludes as follows:
When Fremont was nominal
ed fer the presidency in 1856,
there were several distinct par
ties In Pennsylvania which fun
damentally rest d on the same
principle. The Pennsylvania
delegates who voted for Fremont
in the same Republican conven-
ton were sent there by the Peo-
pies party, and not by the Re-
publican party.
THE Fremont campaign was
carried on through scores of diff
ferent party organizations
throughout the country, with a
wide diversity of party names.
Not until 1860, four years later,
was it generally believed that
the title National Republican
would be the name under which
the diversity of parties working
for the same end would be gath
cred. And it was not until 1854
that all these forces were united
in uniform party organization
and under the same party name.
History is bound to repeat it
self with relation to the present
movement. No one can predict
with any certainty under what
title the Progressive forces will
ultimately make their decisive
fight. And it is really the least
important question before the
Progressives. 1t is important,
however, that in states where
the Progressives have gained
control by years of unceasing
battle, there should be every eff
fort made consistent with moral
principle to conserve for the
Progressive cause the power
that has already been won"

The delegation presented resolu-

restoration OF the battalion o. the
a5th infantry that was involved IN
the Brownsville affair, and urging
him TO recommend a Federal statute

reply that he had done everything

COMPLICATIONS OF THE POLITI-
CAL SITUATION.

The Philadelphia North American
has a most interesting editorial on
the complications that confront those
who repudiate the stolen nomination
for Mr.. Taft and who want to vote
The North American is one of the
oldest Republican papers in this
country. 1t was one of the most in
fluential papers to support the move
ment to organize the Republican
party. when the old Whig party no
longer represented the interests of
justice and humanity.
The editorial begins as follows:
"A wag, in discussing the
present political situation, said
the Progressives had a menag-
erie on their hands, but had no
canvas to show under. While
We would not thus illustrate the
existing political economic
crisis, we must admit that polit-
ical conditions appear to justi-
fly the joking figure of speech
But, as paradoxical as it may
seem, what appears to be
I weakness in the Progressive bat
tie is really its greatest source Of
strength. 1t arises from the
clash of opinions deeply rooted
in the very fundamentals of Pro-
gressiveism, the only controversy
- among the Progressives being as
how best to make effective the
policies on which there is little
or no divergence of opinion
The North American then proceeds
to review the conditions that exist in
the different states, and says:
"One thing is certain. And
that is that no one rule can be
laid down which will do justice
and at the same time yield the.
best practical results to the Pro-
gressives of all the different
states"
That paper then goes on to show
that it is not necessary to organize {
new party where the Republican state
Organization represents the will o.
ne people and repudiates the frauc
and theft perpetrated by the monop
oily agents and Tory bosses at Chi
Xcago.
Continuing that paper says:
so much for the politically
practical phase. Colonel Roose-
welt, who understands the polit-
ical complications which the
Progressives are obliged to con-
tend against, lays down one rule
founded on moral principles,
which he holds should be ad-
hered to in all states.
Mr.. Roosevelt's contention
now is entirely consistent with
his course at Chicago

Hagy, twenty-five, and Miss Myrtle

Oity, Tenn, today, following a SEN
sational elopement Monday night
young Hagy drove to the girls home

her out, but she had been locked up
and the father, who was in hiding
opened fire on Hagy as he crept under
the girls window. Hagy fled and IN

Today young Hagy sent an auto
mobile party to Liberty Hall school
and they succeeded in getting the girl
into the car. The alarm was given
and an officer at Abingdon, Va, under

was unable to do so until he had shot
through one of the tires. Hagy arrived
on the scene about this time and be-
gan firing. The girl had been trans

back and upon learning this Hagy left
