National Democratic Committee. prom

gressional Union ENJOYS at the meet

DR.. Wise Wires Sympathy.
En- route to California, the Rev. DR..
Stephen S. Wise paused in Chicago to
wire: "My people and ] sorrow over
the passing of Booker Washington as
we rejoiced in his life. He was not
only the guide and friend of one race,
but the servant and benefactor of two
races. The American democracy will
long cherish the memory of this great
and good man. God give peace and
strength TO you and your children"
In the reams of other messages are
scores from superintendent of rural
schools in the South, from educators
elsewhere, from groups such as the
walters in the Parker House, Boston;
from Representative William S. Ben
nett. of New York; Paul NJ. Warburg,
of the Federal Reserve Board; julius
Rosenwald, head of the Sears Roebuck
Company; Frank Trumbul, president Of
the Chesapeake g. Ohio, and scores Of
The City Council, too. voted to at
tend the services in body.
But the most touching tribute of all,
and the one that would have been most
appreciated by DR.. Washington. was the
almost endless procession of aged ne
groes to the institute. All of these
knew Washington when he began his
work on a farm long abandoned as
useless. where now stands the model
institution that has made Tuskegee in
ternationally famous. Some drove from
miles away in OK carts; all left in
tears. Their white neighbors were as

but 1000. Several times that number
from the surrounding country will wish
to attend. Scores of other friends are
en- route from Boston and New York,

teachers and officers TO care for. To
meet this, the old Tuskegee device,
used at farmers conferences, of throw

To-day Mrs. Washington selected the
spot where DR.. Washington's body will
lie. 1t is in a beautiful valley, imme-
d;ately in the .rear of the institute
chapel and within earshot of the pulpit
which he so often filled. 1t is here
that the body of the wife Of his early

HUGHES MUST RUN
OR SUE IN NEBRASKA
Supporters Will Not Take His
Name from Primary Ballot.

Lincoln. Neb.. Nov. 15.-Nebraska
Republicans who filed to-day petition
with the Secretary of State placing the
name of Charles f. Hughes. of New
York, on the primary ballot, have
brought about the situation of forcing
the justice to resort 10 a court of
equity if he would save himself from
becoming a candidate for the Presi-
dency.
Attorney General Reed, Of Nebraska.
believes that Justice Hughes must
either institute injunction proceedings.
if he expects to keep his name off the
state ballot. or prevail on his Missouri
Valley supporters who signed the petit
tion 10 draft another asking that his
name be withdrawn. The signers say
that they will not take the latter
course.
Most of the several hundred men who
signed the petition were Roosevelt fol-
lowers in 1912 and Their action is taken
as an indication of the end Of the
Progressive party in this section.

in the death Of Booker r. Wash

greatest leader. He was a man of
unusual force and executive ability
and in many respects rose above the
environment of race. In my opinion
his efforts toward the development

benefit to them and to the entire

Born a slave, living a life of ear

strates to the world the unbOunded
possibilities open to those whose
