Troops still being rushed to
border and enlistment all over
the country. Villa growing in
popularity and hundreds joining

of bandits prevented from bor-

Several fights between troops
and Mexican bands with few

feared by Mexicans. They shoot,
then enquire of the dead about
what they were up to.

ANOTHER
ColOred Social Disturbance Cause
Bullet Still in Target.
May Recover.

Sunday night some time be-
tween dark and sun up "Bitin
Dog" Pulliam who does most of
his savage stunts with his mouth,
announced that he was going to
put a stop to "talkin" about his
folks, and began seriously by
entering the front yard of Jess
Chapman, another dusky turbu-
lent who lives near Bitin Dog
and employing language express
i've of several kinds of opinions
and intentions.
Jess and his family had their
peace considerably disturbed by
the voice and vocabulary Of Bit
in Dog, and numerals earnest
invitations were extended to the
nocturnal orator to vacate or
there would be consequences.
Consequences were just what
Bitin Dog held to be his subject
and standing his ground a moral
virtue he prided himself on.
Failing and refusing repeatedly
to vamoose at the behest of
Chapman and the latter consid-
ering that his house was his
castle and he the knight on
whom it devolved to protect it
from invasion or at least being
held indefinitely by any alien,
especially Bitten Dog when bel
ligerent, got his cat gun and
took a shot at the intruder.
Bitin momentarily abandoned his
intention of holding the fort and
turned to safety first, but valor
bade him spit on his hands and
take another hold on the situa-
tion. He turned to do so when
another missile from the midget
zulu was sent in his general
direction and penetrated his
anatomy below his adams apple
and lung. Hostilities were as

Bryan At Huntsville


Jennings Bryan to deliver one
or the other of his popular lec-
tures at Huntsville Saturday,
was very slim. Few at any dis
tance from that city knew of it,
but even at that, the attendance
would have been much smaller
had there not been a great num-
Der from distance. There were
not less than 20 from this city
and neighborhood, and we were
Informed while there that people
from rather remote sections in
every direction were there to
bear The Great Commoner.
They call it "coliceum," the
shed like protection from the
weather which was built about
four blocks out of town and in
a hollow where a breeze would
scarcely find its way when the
mercury is above thirty, and
while there were many on the
outside, there were many vacant
seats, especially in the reserved
section. Still there was a large
crowd greeted the great orator,
and at two or three of his well
rounded periods there was gen.
erous applause, but the ovation
when he first appeared, exceeded
any demonstration over what he
said at any time.
There appeared to have been
a misunderstanding as to which
of his lectures he should deliver,
and he put it to a vote. The
vote was lighter than when he
ran last for president but he de-
cided that the second lecture
was the one desired, yet to pla-
cate those who wished to hear
what he had to say on the sub.
ject of war, he gave portion Of
that lecture to begin with, anC
In the great majority did moi
regret that he did not go thrr
with that lecture and leave the
other for social and politica
equality sections, the appearance
on most faces and the abatement
of applause was misleading.
Bryan was fine when he talk
ed of peace, with one noticeable
exception in his use of the per
sonal pronoun l. Still at that
he lauded president Wilson high
ly, and when he mentioned con
gressman Rucker's connection
with the popular election of u
Is. Senators, he was given the
greatest applause of the whole
time except when he first ap
peared. Mr.. Bryan told of thu
hard labor performed by him
self and long years of diligent
attention to the election of Unit
ed States senators by popular
vote by himself and Judge Ruck
er. and the applause when hi
told that he had Judge Rucker
Senator Borah and another con
gressman present when he sign
ed the document, the audience
gave ample evidence of their ap
proval of our congressman
course.
Two thirds of the time wa
taken up by the speaker on tn,
subject of women suffrage, mucl
to the disappointment of sever
tenths of the audience, for i
in no way compared to the par
of his other lecture he begal
with. Some of the things h,
ssid would hardly bear clos,
scrutiny as to their correctness
but had every thing been gospe
truth. the crowd felt that it hat
paid fifty cents per for a 5 cen
entertainment.

DEMAND DENIED FOR EXCLUSION
 OF SUBMARINES

Great Britain, Russia and Japan Tn which neutral governments are eX- horted Ito take efficacious measures tending to prevent belligerent subma- rines, regardless of their use, to avail themselves of neutral waters, road steads and harbors."
 These governments point out the facility possessed by such craft to avoid supervision or surveillance or q determination of their national char acter ard their power ito do injury that is inherent in their very nature as well as the additional facilities afforded by having at their disposal places where they can rest and re- plenish their supplies.
 Apparently on these grounds the al- lied governments hold that "subma ,ine vessels must be excluded from the benefit Of the rules heretofore ac- cepted under the rules of internation- al law regarding the admission ana sojourn of war and merchant vessels in neutral waters. roadsteads or har- bors any submarine of a belligeren that once enters q neutral harbol must be held there" and, thereafter the allied governments warn the neu- tral lower of the great danger t neutral submarines attending the nav igation of waters visited by the sub marines of belligerents.'

Suspect in the South

SAVANNAH. Ga. Oct. 10.-The presence of a submarine of undeter- mined nationality off Tybee Bar. off Savannah, today. was reported 10 To- cal custom house officials and to the British consul here, it was learned tonight. Officials at both the cus- toms house and consulate refused to say where their information came from, but each emphasized the state ment that it was entirely unofficial" No American undersea boats are be- lieved to be in these waters.
 Although the submarine was re ported some miles off the coast. ma rine men pointed out tonight that the Georgia coast affords several excel lent places where an undersea craft might seek shelter and hide. They mentioned Warsaw and OssabaW sounds. two bodies of water seldom frequented by other than pleasure craft. Information as to whether the undersea boat said to have been sighted was a merchant or war craft, could not be obtained. Marine men were quite certain that the vessel could not have been the U-53. which wrought havoc to all European ship ping off Nantucket lightship last Sunday as the vessel would not have had time to get this far south.

If you want to have a concrete example, look at the record in Mexico of that policy" | Had that policy as defined by Dr. Eliot. been written in the democratic platform four years ago." MT.

 "If trusted with executive responsi

 The second is that we will not

 the bagmen who are so active in col
 lecting assessments from federal office
 holders there. He may find time to
 explain the difference in the rate of
 assessment in Washington from that

 After that perhaps MT. Mccormick
 will take advantage of the opportunity
 to tell what MT A. T. Schmitt, of
 Louisville, is doing il, rne way of stim- ulating postmasters and others to join
 the Wilson permanent organization" and to contribute to the cause. Mir Mccormick may explain whether this is the organization that is to keep a record of the '1oyal' who contribute, and the "disloyar' who do not con tribute. MT. Schmitt happens to be the postmaster of Louisville and is in 1 specially favored position, both for in i fluencing other postmasters and for l other work which, in view of the pro- visions of the law alluded to by MT. i Ridgway, requires a delicacy of touch. l The emphatic manner in which MT. l Mccormick denied responsibility for and repudiated the extortion game in 1 Texas sets up the natural presumption !, that he will take a similar course re- l garding these Washington and Ken lucky cases. And when he has solved them there will be several others for
 him to tackle. MT. Mccormick is likely to be fairly buSV in the rpnIdia ion line

Especial to The Republican,

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The demo- cratic national committee is in trouble over the discovery of it's attempt to extort Wilson campaign funds from postmasters and other federal office holders. Chairman Mccormick under took at first to deny utterly that any such attempt was being made. He said the charge was ''arrant nonsense. and absolutely untrue" Then he learned that the republican national committee had proof tbat the charge was true. Thereupon, MT Mccormick sought cover by making public a letter written by the Texas state chairman, instructing the bagmen how to violate the law and escape the penitentiary, and announcing that he and the rest of the democratic national committee l repudiated it.
 1 But great deal more is needed from Mir. Mccormick in the way of explana-
 tion and denial before the case is closed. Something is needed, also | from Postmaster General Burleson, in
 whose state, Texas, this attempt at ex- i tortion was made. Something is needed also from MT. D. o. Roper, who resigned

WHY DEMOCRATS CHANGE PARTY
Special to The Republican,

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Two Mill waukee democrats who were delegates to the Baltimore convention in 1912 and who were among the first to vote for the nomination of MT. Wilson, have declared for Judge Hughes. it was an- nounced today at the headquarters of the National Hughes Alliance. The men are A. B. Dick and Max Hottelet Both have been enrolled in the demo- cratic committee of the Hughes AL liance.
 Mir. Dick says, in his letter to the Alliance: AS a democrat l am sup porting the candidacy of Charles F.. Hughes because l am convinced that the moral welfare as well as the mater ial interests of the nation require that it's affairs be now placed in charge of an administration that can be expected to restore this country to it's proper place in the respect of the world; that there shall be placed at it's head a man alive to the true spirit of America, American independence, justice and fair play; one whose influence will be directed to strengthen, and not to weaken the moral fiber of the nation"
 MT. Hottelett said. Since 1884 have voted without exception for every candidate nominated by the democratic party, but l cannot support MT. Wilson. for reelection, because I do not ap- prove either of his domestic or his foreign policy. 1 think the so- called eight-hour law was passed hastily and without proper investigation. It does not provide that eight hours shall constitute a days work, and therefore is only fixing wages for certain classes of workingmen and does not pay any attention at all to the great mass of workingmen.
 An expedition was sent to Vera Cruz | by President Wilson, in order to compel Mexico to salute the flag. Shots were exchanged and tEe American navy withdrawn and the American flag has not been saluted yet. President Wilson mobilized the regular army as well as
 the militia in order to catch Villa dead 1 or alive. The troops have been with l drawn and Villa is still alive
