Found in Coal Crusher.

Crushed into q pulp, the body
IF Garrett Wolfe. employe OF the
United States Coal and Coke Co.
At Gary, was discovered in No.

Due To the fact that the machin
cry is so protected that it is al
most impossible TO fall into the

Of the coal company that Wolff
com mi.ted suicide.
The discovery was not made
until the grease and waste was
noticed coming from q section OF

vas immediately stopped and
small pieces Of the body were
recovered from the crusher.

neeP0eS SHOULD RAISE CAmpAIGN

For q number OF years some of
the leading Negroes of West Va
have suggested the idea Of the
Negroes raising a cam paign fund
TO aid in prosecuting the Repub-
lican campaign in this state. Tn.
Mcdowell Times thinks the sug
gestion . good and timely one
and that now is the time to be-
gin. There will be . strenuous
effort put forth by the Democrat
&c party this fall to carry the
state for the nominees of thai
party from President down and
it behnoves the Negroes of West
Virginia to do all in their power
70 keep this grand state in the
Republican column. The Nc
Dowell Times not only want t.
see Hughes and Fairbanks carry
this state by large majority but
we want . Republican governor
and legislature. Let US start
now and begin raising among
the members OF the race q cam
paign fund sufficient to MAINTAIN
q colored bureau in the bead
quarters, pay speakers, send out
literature and do whatever else
that Is necessary TO create inter
est and get out the full Negrt
vote. BY doing this the race
will have greater prestige in thu
Republican party, will be in DO
sition TO demand more recog-
milton and get greater consider
alton from national party leaders
when the Republican party comes
into power in the nation March
I, 1917.
The Times suggests that the
political leaders OF the race IN
each county in the state where
there are Negro voters select q
committee and these com mittees
meet with the Negro mem bers
Of the Repu blican state centra
committee as soon as practicable
and together devise ways and
means Of carrying into efec,
this suggestion. We would be
pleased 10 have expressions from
the Negro press OF w. Va. or
the suggestion.

American soldiers have failed TO
accomplish either of these OBJ
jects and In order to regain his
waning popularity with his own
people, who have an inordinate
hatred for the "grinooes," Car
rama has permitted his troops
TO attack American soldiers and
hinder them in every possible
way. Finally. when Carranza
found that his u vernment was
lettering TO fall be played his
trump card for Mexican support
by issuing his ultimatum that
American troops must only be
permitted 10 move northward in
Mexico. which was. In SO many
words, an order to get out. Now
the President PUSHES thousands
OF troops TO the border in the
vain hope Of blufiing Carranza
and the Mexican people into
keeping the peace. We fear that
the watchful waiting" policy OF
President Wilson has got the
American people into a tangle
which will be much more expen-
sive and dangerous now than it
would have been three years ago
In stead Of watching and wait
ing il the President had adopted
a firm policy the lives OF hum
dreds Of Americans would have
been saved and thousands OF
dollars worth Of property be-
longing TO our citizens would not
have been destroyed.
This country needs an active,
able, fearless President, who
looks At things as they are in
stead OF visionary idealist who
looks at conditions as they ought
To be
President Wilson may be a
good school master, but he is a
poor president who has bungled
our international relations
made US the laughing stock OF
every court in the world even t.
the extent that half civilized,
warning Mexico shows the grin
CO. his teeth and orders US to
get of the face OF the earth"

will conduct his campaign for the

Governors of three states, many
United States senators, about 100
representatives in Congress, many
delegates to the Republican and Pro-
Grsssive national conventions and
chairmen Of the state committees Of

Senator Warren Harding Of Ohio.
who presided at the Chicago conven-
ton. presided at this meeting and de-
uvered the notification speech. Mr..
Hughes was the only other speaker
His family and friends occupied two
boxes.
Mr.. Hughes was frequently inter-
rupted by laughter and applause.
After delivering his speech he was
host at a reception to the notification
committee and the invited guests to
seAS hoSAASolAOA S0ACHOuy.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt and Mrs
Roosevelt were present
Former President Taft telegraPhed
from Canada that he would be unable
to arrive, stating in his telegram to
James B. Reynolds. secretary Of the
national committee, that he regretted
that he could not be present at a
great occasion, to hear a great
speech. an augury of victory
Mr.. Hughes, in his speech, assailed
the administration for the course it
has pursued with reference to Mexico,
maintenance of American rights dur
ing the European war, preparedness
and other great questions of the day.
For Firm Policy.
He declared for a new policy OF
"drmness and consistency" toward
Mexico. for the unflinching mainte-
nance of all American rights on land
and sea" and for adequate national
defense-adequate protection on both
eur western and eastern coasts"
I'VE denounce all plots and con.
spiracies in the interest Of any for.
eign nation" Mr.. Hughes said. "Ut-
terly intolerable is the use of our soil
for alien intrigues. Every American
must unreservedly condemn them and
support every effort for their suppress
sion"
The nominee assailed the admins
tration for its direction of diplomatic
Intercourse" from the beginning, de-
claring that where there should have
been conspicuous strength and expert
ness there had been weakness and in
experiences. He cited Santo Domingo
Is an instance where appointments
had gone to Deserving Democrats"
and to the failure to continue Ambas-
sador Herriok at his post in Paris as
after the war had started as "a Ia
mentable sacrifice Of international re-
pute."
Favors Woman's Suffrage.

platform in favor Of woman's suf-
frage." Mr.. Hughes declared. And he
added, Opposition may delay but in
my judgment cannot defeat this move
