This change in views heretofore held

in 1910, but was disastrously defeat
ed by William Henry Harrison. In
1914 he aspired to the third nomina-
grasp when the national democratic
convention assembled in Baltimore
But the adoption Of the two-thirds
rule, at the instance Of his political
opponents prevented his nomination,
and James X. Polk carried off the
prize. Polk was elected.
Van Buren, supported Polk
throughout the 1914 campaign, but
four years later, having meanwhile
disagreed with the policy of the
democratic party in respect Of the
extension of slavery TO the territory
acquired by the Mexican war. he ac-
cepted the presidential nomination
at the hands of the free soil demo-
cratic party. His candidacy served
the purpose Of defeating Gen. Lewis
Cass, the democratic nominee, and
electing Gen. Zachary Taylor, the
whig candidate.
1t may be readily seen how Mr..
Bryan. next year. could play the role
Of Van Buren,, provided he could Sc
cure a faction of the democratic
party 10 follow him upon some clear
ly-defned public issue. A prohibit
ton nomination, which no doubt he
could secure by his mere word Of
acceptance, would not answer the
purpose. He would have to repre-
sent a political policy TO which a
large number Of democratic voters
would strongly incline. 1t may be
, that in the question Of preparedness
for war he foresees an issue over
which democrats may divide next
year, as did the democrats over the
proposed extension of slavery, and
thus open to him the opportunity TO
defeat the democratic party, as Van
Buren, did in the campaign of 1S4S.

THE TRIAL.
(Chicago Defender. Negro. }

(Chicago Defender, Negro)
The jury in the Campbell case has
rendered a verdict and that verdict
was guilty" the penalty was fixed
at death The crime for which he
was sentenced was the murder of
Warden Aliens wife. The trial has
been sensational from many points
of view. the general public seeming
TO feel a doubt as TO the guilt Of
the condemned man. Circumstantial
evidence played the leading role in
this tragedy combined with the sGct
that the accused not only was q con-
Wet serving a sentence for murder,
but was black.

protecting its criminals. A more un-
just statement could not be mag

and the other convicts whose testi-

crime? Why the seeming mystery
about the whole affair?
The jury finds Campbell guilty the
judge told them there were several
kinds OF punishments to select from,
they unanimously selected the death
penalty. Perhaps the man is guilty.
perhaps he is not, who knows? with
the death penalty there is no redress
if in after years fate should find an
other guilty. Said Morris B. Kovnat,
secretary of the Anti-Capital Punish
ment Society of America. Il cannot
say whether Campbell is innocent or
guilty, but such an atrOciOus law as
capital punishment is equally mon
strous when applied TO a colored man
