Stamford Police Investigators Hold Woman Knows
 About Death.
EXPERTS WILL ANALYZE
 SUPPOSED BLOOD STAIN
Witness Is Not Suspected of Direct Complicity in
 RallOu Case.

Stamford, June 3o-It was learned today that the police are working definitely on the theory that Waldo BalIou, the aged political leader and prominent citizen, whose tragic death early last week is under investigation, was murdered. There was also an intfnation of new revelations by Mrs. Helen M. Angle, at whose apartments RaIIou was a visitor on the night of his death and who is held as a wit ness for the coroner.
 It was learned today that the po- lice do not believe that Mrs. Angle had any direct connection with Bal Iou's death,~ but do believe she knows who was responsible for it and may ness.
 The theory on which the police are working is that a second man was in the Angle apartments after BalloaI left, that the latter returned unex- pected and that a quarrel followed during which BaIlou received the blow that caused his death. The po- lice, it is understood, claim to have evidence to substantiate this theory which, it is said, may lead to an ar rest.
 The coroner expects to resume his inquest Friday and meantime the chemists employed by the investiga- tors are continuing their analysis of the various stains found at the Angle a apartments, including most recently discovered supposed blood marks on. the mating near Mrs. Angles bed.
 Leonard BIondel, father of Mrs. Angle, said today, when the new evi- dence was brought to his attention, that he was satisfied that, if BalIou was murdered, it was not in his daughters bedroom and reiterated his belief that she had nothing to do with it.

mot as a matter of curiousity, but
of information to the people, as well
as to myself, let me ask what your
political status really is. 1t has been
but few years since you were an ar
dent. uncompromising democrat.
Abandoning democracy, you became a
candidate for congress on the prohi-
bition ticket, receiving some 200 votes
out of total of 1900, following
which you again renewed your allie
glance the cause of demo-
cracy. Seeing. as you expressed
the cause of glance to the cause of
democracy Seeing, as you expressed
it, that that got you nothing you be-
came, or pretended to become, re-
publican. Realizing the hopelessness
of your candidacy for the republican
nomination for congress, you have
withdrawn from that party, and have
'dadied' one wholly your own. Do
not think me curious if inquire the
name of this illegitimate offspring, nor
unreasonable in my demands if / re-
quire you to furnish bond that you
will support it in loyalty and un-
changing faith, at least until the ex-
DiratiOn of this camDaign
IF you will answer these inquiries
with the same candor as you admit
superior mental and moral qualifica-
tions to represent us in congress, you
will shed light on a heretofore inn
penetrable mystery. A frank explain
alton for the reason of these rapid
political gyrations and contortions,
might benefit you greatly, and coupled
with the keynote argument that you
never took chew of tobacco in you
life might convince you, If not the
people, that you are worthy to be TAX
en- seriously.
IF. beginning at Mountain City OF
October 9th, and continuing each day
thereafter until all the counties in tn,
district have been visited, you desire
to meet me in joint debate, | shall
thank you to so Indicate
Yours truly,

Especial Correspondence }

Especial correspondence
Nashville, Sept. 22.--Gen. Rye, dem
ocratie nominee for Governor of Ten
nessee, has set forth ON his speaking
tour of the state. In view of what he
stands for. of his ability, character
patriotism and craftsmanship, as the
one peculiarly equipped man of the
hour to save Tennessee from an odious
conspiracy of political traitors and
self seekers, the people of the state
should make his itinerary triumphal
march through the state.
Tennessee needs less policies and
more business; Rye will furnish the
relief. Tennessee needs a rest from
the petty chickering's, the ugly faction
alism and the self grouches; Rye
alone can assume so happy a culmin-
alton of the rabid disorders that for
four years have affected the state.
His reception at his old home, Cam
den, last Thursday, was a splendid
ovation. Then and there his old asso-
ciates, those who had known him from
birth or early boyhood, gave him an
earnest expression of their approval

and confidence. He is-a prophet hon.
ored amongst his own people.
The speech was the master effort
of a wise statesman and a polished
orator. He sounded no doleful OF
doubtful note. The spirit Of conf
dence and optimism was breathed from
every utterance and the message he
gave out was one of good cheer to q
long suffering people. He declared
that he had always favored and now
favOrs with all his heart prohibition
and law enforcement He subscribes
to every law on the statute books ap-
pertaining to both and pledged his ad-
ministration's best efforts thereto.
Mr.. Rye explained thoroughly and
conyincingly his attitude on prohibi-
tion in the past. He had spoken and
voted for the proposed amendment to
the constitution in 1887 and had never
weakened in his belief in prohibitions
final triumph. His advocacy had not,
however, led him to desert in any
election the democratic party or its
candidates. He believed the issue
could best be settled through the par
ty which had bravely met and salts
factorily settled every political issue
since the war.
He voted against Hooper because
the latter was republican soldier of
fortune whom he did not believe to be
accessory to the states welfare. He
voted for Bob Taylor and for Benton
McMillin and believes today that the
election of either would have been a
favorable response to the popular de-
mand for general prohibition through
out the state: and that under them the
state would have been spared the ex-
.ravagances. the scandals, the faction
Il disruptions and the general demor-
llization of conditions which the
Hooper administration have entailed.
Gen. Rye's remarks were to the
)oint and earnestly SO. His discussion
If other matters. good roads, schools,
PENSIONS for old soldiers, labor condi-
ions and demands, the states debt,
extravaganza, etc, was forceful and
convincing. Especially eloquent was
lis peroration with it's pleas for the
endorsement of President Wilson and
or peace in Tennessee.
The speech established the certain
y that the democrats of the state had
1een peculiarly fortunate in their Sc
lection of standard bearer. He has
aroused and enthused his followers
md there seems no doubt he will poll

people do their part in the manifes-

WILL SUPPORT ENTIRE
DEMOCRATIC TICKET
CRuMP IS CRITICISED
Former Governor IN Memphis After
Three Months Lecture Tour.
Resumes Work for League

M. r. Patterson, former governor.
who is at home for few days rest
after having completed three months
lecture tour, believes that every demo-
crat in Tennessee should support Tom
Rye and the entire state ticket in
November.
81 will support Gen. Rye and the
entire state ticket" he said yesterday
while greeting a number of his old
time friends.
"The fact that Lea and Crump are
for Rye is no reason why any demo-
crat should oppose him." he contin-
ued. "If that were true, it would also
be reason why Hooper should not be
supported, for formerly he was close
ly allied with both Lea and Crump,
and knew then, as well as he does
now, that they were professional po-
litical pirates.
AT JuC VI LHC ldSt AC6Lb-
lative session Hooper, Lea and Crump
had a thorough understanding and are
willing to trade and combine again
whenever political advantage can be
gained.
Rye is above all such disreputable
business and can be relied upon to
make good his election promises-to
be clean and honorable in his political
dealings"
Gov. Patterson reached home on
Thursday end will leave again tonight
for Paducah, where he is to speak on
Sunday afternoon in the interest of
the prohibition campaign now being
waged there. He is looking unusually
well, in spite of the fact that he has
been travelling constantly for the past
three months. during which he made
81 speeches in Indiana, Michigan, Illi-
nois and Ohio. He is looking better
than he has in years, and says that he
feels In absolute health.
He will resume his work for the
Anti-saloon League of America on
Sept. 27. when he speaks at Spring
field, Ohio. He will then go to Chica-
go and will make 20 or more speeches
in Illinois. From there he will 60 to
Ohio to take part in the prohibition
campaign there during the remainder
of October.
He said that he expects to be home
in Memphis about the first of Novem-
ber, but that it is doubtful If he makes
any speeches here either for the demo-
cratic ticket or otherwise before the
election.
Speaking of the results of his OBJ
servation in the northern states, he
said that President Wilson has been
growing stronger with his party and
with the people of the entire country
since the day Of his Inauguration.
President Wilson is destined to be
considered one of our greatest presi-
DENTS" he said. His force of charac-
ter, his winning personality and his
fine grasp of public affairs are winning
him the respect of men of every par
y."-Memphis Commercial Appeal.

The obligation that rests upon
decent newspapers to tell the truth
is ever a sacred and responsible one.
At no time should it be more honored
in observance than during the con-
tinuation OF the tragedy that is be-
ing enacted upon the European con-
tinent. A period like the present
stiffens the demand for variety made
by public that takes journalism
seriously.
Right-minded people have wearied
Of the unending procession OF tales
of horror, cruelty and destruction.
They are eager, even anxious, tC
address themselves to the construc-
tive policies Of peace. The distort.
ed perspective presented them by
many newspapers gives them JUS
offense. The plain truth is, tht
reading public is sick and tired o
the war diet served up to them.
Yet how many sensational news
papers disregard their duty TO thei
readers, and careless Of their obliga
ton, deliberately invent horrors 70
the sole purpose Of claiming supre
macy in the publication Of exclu

for Truth; yet never in the histor
Of the newspaper has Truth beer S
carelessly handed.
