dom asked to speak o. lead In prayer.
The seats were rapidly filling, and men
and boys pressed close against the
benches on the outside He saw Hi
ram Tinsley enter at the side and take
seat on the platform. bowling his
head in prayer according to custom.
and as he had come alone Abner de-
cided that Mrs. Tinsley was averse to
appearing in public. Another person
who attracted Abner's notice was Mrs
Fulton. She was alone and sat direct
iy across the aisle from Abner. He
noted that her face was pale and care
worn. There was restless. furtive
look in her eyes as she glanced about
her. and the thought came to him that
perhaps Abe's recent disturbed manner
might have attracted her attention.
Did the woman know-did she suspect
her husbands guilt, and was her con-
science troubling her for not revealing
the truth? She looked in Abner's di-
rection. saw him for the first time and
shrank back so visibly that he was
sure the sight of him had startled ber.
At this juncture Abner happened to
glance toward the entrance and saw
Pole Baker directing his wife and chill
dren to seat. while he himself re-
mained back among the bystanders
outside. Staring steadily. Abner ca aught
his eye and made a motion to the va
cent space on the bench beside him:

Abner paused. Fulton's whole body

CREAGERISOUT
FOR SUBMIS5ION
Republican Candidate for
Governor Appeals to Dem
ocratie Majority.

Dallas, Texas. Oct. 11.-For the first
time in the history OF Texas has the
vote Of a majority erased party lines
and changed issues. This has occurred
in the present campaign for governor.
in which r B Creager. Of Brownsville.
Republican candidate. is making a hot
campaign
Mr. Creager has come out squarely
for submission, because a majority OF
the voters wished submission TO be
voted upon in an off-year. which is
1917.
Governor Ferguson. Democrat and in
cumbent or the office. is avowedly
against the issue Of submission and
declares. though the majority Of his
own party voted for it, that it shall
never pass the next legislature except
over his veto
Mr.. Creager refers to submission in
each speech as a matter for majority
rule. and the people of Texas see for
the first time a specific move Of the
prohibition Democrats firmly supported
ny the Republican gubernatorial candi-
date.
The attitude OF the two candidates is
arousinE great interest among the
prohibitionists OF the state and many
of them are proposing TO withdraw
their support Of Ferguson in the No
Vember election.
Predictions are being freely made at
the campaign headquarters Of the q.
o p of the state that Creager's smash

defence Of his policies and his admins

SAYS AMERICANS
NOT PROTECTED
Hughes Declares Admins
tration Has Deliberately
Violated Pledge.

Baltimore. Nd, Oct 1.-THE Demo
fratic administration has deliberately
violated its campaign pledge OF 1912
to protect Americans abroad. according
10 Charles f. Hughes. Republican can
didate for president. in an address here
Tuesday night in which he replied 20
published statements Of Dr. Charles
W Eliot, president emeritus of Har-
ward, endorsing the policies Of presl-
dent Wilson.
Or Eliot pierces the heart OF the
matter" Mr. Hughes said. and he finds
that the record Of the administration
means this: No Intervention by force
Of arms to protect interests Of Ameri-
can citizens. who OF their own free
will have invested their money or risked
their lives in foreign parts under alien
Jurisdiction
Think OF the import OF that YOU
who represent the best genius of the
world and are thinking Of using j.
abroad" Mr.. Hughes added. Think Of
that. YOU who. il Is suggested. are TO
be asked to finance the chief undertake
ings OF the world. Think OF that. mer-
chants. statesmen. tellers. clerks and
dealers. who in serving the world take
your place remote from your friends
and safeguards. in communities where
revolutions are frequent and only re-
spect for your flag and the power IL
symbOliZed may stand between you and
ruin. or even death"
Just "A Vote CateherF
M Hughes read the Democratic plat
tOrm plank Of 1912 declaring for the
protection Of American rights abroad
and asked il it were "molasses 10 catch
flies
He declared that the protection II
promised had been deliberately and
deplorably refused. He quoted from
recent speech Of the president outlin-
ing the administration ideas with re-
spect to the development abroad OF
American enterprise and asserted that
. was impossible TO square the fine
words now used with the actions" OF
the administration
"Let Americans Abroad Stew
The nominee added that in respect
to American interests abroad we have
not only diplomacy without dollars, but
diplomacy without sense.
During the past three years and a
half one would suppose that any Ameri-
can who went to foreign lands 10 ad-
vance American industry and COM
merce was presumably a bad fellow,

Didn't he so abroad to make money!
