Roosevelt's refusal hsre to sacri.
flee his thirst for power tor the sal
walton of his party, Is a bist reason
why no Republican shoult support
him. But il this were not suffi-
cient, his constantly reiterated de-
claration that he has cut entirely
loose from the Republican, party,
absolves Republicans from hiss sup
port.
In the closing days of the. cam
paign there is a. decided movement
of Republicans toward their lHgu-
lar ticket. 1t is strong in the East,
slower but sure in the West, and
plainly noticeable in Ohio county.
Nobody expects Roosevelt to be
elected. II Is not seriously contend
ed he will get an electoral vote east
of the Mississippi river. Whatever
strength he has is in the small
States of the West, where the cleo
toral vote is small. ats principal
strength is in the large States of
the North and East, with big cleo
toral votes.
A vote for Roosevelt is half
vote for Wilson. The battle is not
yet lost. Maine points the way for a
united Republican victory. 1t
shows our strength when united.
Why divide our forces TO make GER
tain a Democratic victory? Why
destroy a great party that has made
this the greatest and most prosper
ous OF countries when We know it
would taGe years to build up an
other such political organization?
Why hand victory an a golden plat
ter to the enemy, when We have the
forces to reap ii ourselves? Why
turn the nation. the States and the
counties over to the Democrats
when We have the forces to hold
them? Let Us make peace before
the breach widens to irreparabIe
proportions.
If We go to you, we must break
with the political Affiliations of a
lifetime; must desert p leader who
knows where he Is going; must re-
nounce a platform upon which your
leader was. willing to stand; must
exchange prosperous business con-
dition for a chance OF change, the is
sue of which no man Knows; must
destroy great party, with fifty
years OF glorious history to its cred
it, for the uncertain task of getting
together a scattered fragment of
Democrats, Populists and Republic
ans with which to oppose a united
Democracy.
But, your return to the support
OF our national ticket involves no
such sacrifice. You need to offer
no apologies nor make any embar-
RAISING explanations for returning
to the fold from which you were
temporarily separated. Your pres
ent position Is unnatural and you

SHOT IN BREAST
AS He Was Leaving Hotel

ASSASSIN QUICKLY ARRESTED.
Questioned by the Colonel.
the. Man Gave Some
Crazy Replies.
TEDDY PRESERVED HIS NERVE

Milwaukee. Oct. 15.-Colonel
Roosevelt left on a special ,rain for
Chicago at 1890 a. m. Although
still bearing a bullet in his breast,
the Colonel declared he would go
to Indianapolis to nil a speaking
engagement tomorrow night, after
spending few hours in Chicago.
The special is due to arrive in
Chicago by 3 a. m, and the Colonel
will be taken to the Presbyterian
hospital.
Col. Roosevelt was shot, but not,
it is believed, seriously wounded,
as he was leaving the Hotel Gilpat-
rick for the Auditorium tonight.
The man who fired the shot and
who gave his name as John
Schrenk, was overpowered on the
spot and rushed to the police sta
ton.
The ball entered the Colonel's
body in the fieshy part OF his right
breast, har way between the col
larbone and lower rib, and lodged
in the chest wall, not penetrating
the lung.
The Colonel proceeded to- the Au-
ditorium after the arrest OF his as
sailant, and delivered an address,
the copy OF which, in his, coat peck
ct. is believed to have saved his life
by diminishing the force OF the
bullet.
After the speech he was rushed
to the hospital.
The Colonel was just stepping
into an automobile around which a
crowd had gathered. when the
would-be assassin pushed his way
through the crowd and fired.
In a moment he was overpowered
by Albert f. Martin.
The crowd became wild. crying
Lynch him! Lynch HIM" but the
Colonel insisted that the man be
brought before him and that the
crowd not take hand in the mat
ter.
Questioned by the Colonel, the
man refused to give his reason for
the act, but later he showed notes
70 the officers which said he had
been visited by the spirit OF Presi-
dent Mckinley. which declared
Roosevelt was his murderer and de-
manded that the murder be aveng-
ed.
The Colonel spoke at the Audi
forum over an hour with a bullet
in his breast, and along toward the
close OF the speech showed signs OF
weakness from the loss of blood.
At the conclusion of the speech
he was rushed to the hospital,
where physicians were awaiting
him. .'' 's-r. $685..
While waiting for an X-ray MAJ
chine, with which to examine the
wound and locate the bullet, the
physicians were engaged by the
Colonel in a political discussion.
The Colonel continued to insist.

until the X-ray examination was
under way, that he was not serious

OESERT|ON CASES
IN THE COURTS
Robert Ennis Must Pay Wife
$5 Per Week.
GIVEN LITTLE SUPPORT
The Green Family Troubles Were
Only Referred To-Trial of
Charges on Thursday.

Overseer of the Poor Charles D.
Carney had two desertion cases before
Justice of the Peace Arthur @. Mulford
yesterday afternoon A
One was the complaint OF Mrs Eliz-
abeth Ennis, who charged her hus-
band Robert Ennis, with non-support
for herself and her two children. She
testified that he had never contributed
single penny for the support of her
self and children
Ennis did not deny the charges, in
fact he pleaded guilty. Corporation
counsel J. Brodie McGear. represent
ing the city, was satisfied with the
courts order for $500 a week that
Mr. Ennis should contribute for the
support of his wife and two children.
Ennis, not being able to secure bond
for the payment of this sum, Constable
C. c. Hilliard was given a commit
ment and the young husband and
father was taken over to Jail.
The other case was the complaint of
Mrs. Rebecca Green against her hus-
band, Thomas Green. The domestic
difficulty in this case, according to Mr.
Green, is that his wife refuses to
occupy the nice home he has provided
for her; home of five rooms. he says
with gas, steam heat and nice furni-
ture, but she wants to live next to her
mother, and this he declines to do
Mrs. Green, of course, was represent
ed by corporation couunsel McGeer,
while Mr. Green had county solicitor
Roscoe c. Ward as his counsel The
case was postponed until next Thurs
day morning at 8 O'Clock, when the
whole matter will be aired; in the
meantime Mr.. Green was held in the
statutory bond of $500 for his appear
ance.

WILL CURB POWER OF
STATE SCHOOL BOARD

Trenton, March 5.-The house COM
mittee on education took another fling
at the state board of education late
this afternoon by amending the bill
increasing the salaries of the county
superintendent of schools from $4,000
to $4,000 so that the appointment of
the superintendent is taken from the
state board and given to the state COM
missioner of education. The amend
ments also make a residence of three
years in the county requisite for ap-
pointment
The committee members said that
information had come to them that,
despite the testimony of DR.. William
G. Schauffler, president of the board,
that he knew nothing about the bills
in the legislature, the bills had been
so drawn by the legislative committee
of the state board that the friends of
such members could be shipped from
one county to another and thus fasten
on the schools the clutches of the
state board. In this shape the salary
increase bills will go through the
house at the last session this week.

BAD BILL
FOR THIS CITY
Rum Can be Delivered Here
by This Act.
MEASURE VICIOUS
State Should Arouse to Defeat This
Iniquituous Mea sure lin the
Senate.

Without attracting any special at
tention, the brewery interests in New
Jersey passed bill through the lower
house of the legislature ON Monday,
which, if it becomes law, would per-
nit intoxicants to be sold in territory
now prohibition.
Even in localities where residents
have voted against liquor being sold,
this bill permits brewers to force
their business on the community The
only difference between having Ii
censed saloon in such places is that
the liquors are packed in other places
for delivery.
Ocean Grove, Ocean City, Seaside
Park and ither summer resorts which
refuse to license the selling of liquors
in their limits. will be obliged to per-
nit brewery wagons to deliver intoxi-
eating liquors within their confines
The bill expressly provides that it
is not necessary to secure a license
from places where the business is ac-
tually done by way of delivery. The
saloon men, under the proposed law,
can get license wherever they please
in the state. and deliver anywhere
else.
For instance, Haddon township,
Camden county, has long been opposed
to licensing saloons. The sentiment
is tremendously against the liquor
business. Under the act all that is
necessary for liquor dealer to do is
to secure license in Camden or any,
where else in the state, and his wa
gons may deliver in Haddon township.
The passage OF this act by the as
sembly is looked upon as one of the
slickest pieces of legislation of the
session, SO quietly did the brewery
lobby work In fact, every copy of
the bill, which is No. 344, and intro
duced by Mr.. Lowry, had been re-
moved from the bill file room.
The bill is innocent enough looking
on its face, and its title and main body
do not indicate what was tackled on
at the end. This reads:
Provided, however, That any de-
livery of any of the liquors aforesaid,
elsewhere in the state than in the To-
cality or place mentioned in said Ii
cense. or application therefor, shall
not be deemed or taken as violation
of this section"

JERSEY SENATOR
IS ON TRIAL
ALI Day Session Given 10 the
Case.
CASE HARD FOUGHT
Senator Fitzherbert Charged With
Attempted Extortion-Ridner
Barred as Witness.

Trenton, N. j., March 5--Senator
Richard Fitzherbert, Democrat, of
Morris County, was put on trial before
the full Senate today on charge of
having tried to extort $4,000 from the
Commercial Acetylene Company of
New York as the price of killing two
bills offered by him to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of acetylene gas
in New Jersey. The proceedings gave
the impression the Senate intends to
leave the way clear for action in the
criminal courts.
The feature of the day was an opin-
ion by Attorney General Edmund Will
son that if the Senate calls on DR.. ].
S. Ridner to testify, that act will rem
der Kidney immune from criminal
prosecution. Ridner figures as the
agent of Fitzherbert in the offer to
kill the bills for money and in fixing
the price for that service. The Senate
intended to bring him face to face with
his accusers and to reach the truth in
that way. Acknowledgement Wilson's
warning headed off that programme.
Today's most important witaess was
Oscar F. Ostby, sales manager for the
acetylene company. He told of visits
made by Dr. Ridner to the company's
Office at No. so Broadway, at all of
which it was proposed to call off
threatened adverse legislation for
price The sum first named was ST.
500 but by the time Ostby got ready
TO talk terms with Fitzherbert, he said,
it had advanced to $4,000. These talks
covered parts of January and Febru-
ary.
Ostby testified he finally decided to
make straight fight against the bills.
He obtained from Senator Edge a
promise of opportunity to be heard in
committee. State Treasurer voorhees,
was consulted by him about Ridners
demands for money. ALI this time he
kept in touch with Ridner in order to
lead him on. Through him he met
Fitzherbert.
DR.. Ridner attended the proceedings.
Several of the senators asked that he
4 be called to refule testimony concern
; ing his strike for money, but the ma
jority refused to hear him, insisting
that the Senate has no right to ham
per the courts, and that If Fitzherbert
Is to be impeached, the cast must be
made up without help or hindrance
from Ridner. !.
