attracting wide attention from the
fact that it is regarded as the first real
public sentiment on the Democratic
administration and the tariff measure
since President Wilson took office and
the Democrats came into control of
both houses of Congress last March.
Normally the district is strongly
Democratic. The late Representative
Martin, Democrat, was elected last No

votes over his Republican and Progress
sive opponents. He received 1926
votes, which was almost equal to the
votes cast for both of the other can

for tomorrow are: Archibald c. Hart,
Democrat; Steven w. McClave Repub-
lican; Herbert N. Bailey, Progressive,

WALTERS WRITING TO
Federal OFFICIALS

Jackson, Miss, July CIV. C. Wal
ters, alleged kidnapper of the Dunbar
child, now in Jail at Columbia await
ing Supreme Court disposal of his
habeas corpus case, is evidently labor
ing under the delusion that Uncle Sam
can offer some remedy to get him out
of trouble.
Walters has addressed lengthy let
ter to United States Commissioner l..
B. Moseley, of this city, setting forth
at much detail his wanderings over the
south from March 1st, 1912, up to the
time he was arrested for the Opelousas
kidnapping. Commissioner Moseley is
at loss to understand why Walters
should bother him with the story, as
thus far no attempt has been made to
invoke the aid of the Federal courts
in preventing the return of Walters to
Louisiana on the requisition granted
by Gov. Brewer.

and denounced the red flag and its
supporters.
The memorial sets forth that "the
Socialist party has never advocated
violence and has never advocated,
done, attempted or even remotely
dreamedof any act of desecration to
the flag of the United States, or any
emblem or insignia thereof"
Moreover" continues the memo
rial, I'VE submit that the chief way in
which the national emblem is being
desecrated in this and other cities of
the United today is by the cloaking of
rascality and tyrannical abuses of the
aspiring poor within its folds; in short,
making a lie of its symbolism. We
call attention, Mr.. President, TO the
sayings of DR.. Johnson: Patriotism.
We have on the contrary steadfastly
and consistently insisted that the is
sue toward which our activities and
our propaganda were directed was not

ACCUSED PASTOR
WILL Be freed
DAUGHTERS WHO CAUSED DEATH
SENTENCE SAY THEY GAVE
FALSE TESTIMONY.

Fort Smith, Ark, July 21-Rev.
Marion Capps of White Bluff, will be
free today of the charge of numbering
his two children, when Prosecuting
Attorney Paul Little will appear in
court at Greenwood and dismiss the
case. This announcement was made
by Little last night.
Capps recently was convicted and
sentenced to hang on a charge that
he burned to death his daughters,
Priscilla, years old, and Rose, 2
years old. The supreme court re-
versed the case and remanded it for
new trial.
Prosecutor Little said he was
forced to dismiss the case because his
strongest witnesses, Bertha Capps, Is
years old, and Ellis Capps, IA, chill
dren of the defendant, had repudiated
their former stories and would testify
in favor of their father at second
trial.
The children told the jury at the
first trial that they were tied in an
oil-soaked bed. The girl said when
she discovered the fire she saw her
father leave their bedroom and lock
the door
Since the conviction of their father
the children have made affidavits that
they swore falsely at the first trial
The girl says she testified falsely be-
cause her father opposed her mar
riage to a neighbor's son.
