The Negroes opportunity under Re
publican control is strikingly shown
by the fact that in every State that
is Democratic the statute books are
covered with Acknowledgement laws,
Jim Crow laws, segregation laws,
and other forms of discriminatory
legislation based on race or color,
while in every State classified as Re-
publican, without exception, there is
not a single law which strikes hope
from the black mans heart nor has
any such discouraging law ever been
proposed by Republicans.
Ever since Washington City has
been the Capitol of the nation, even
during the slavery period, colored
men have served acceptably in Gov
eminent departments. They have
held positions varying from unskilled
laborer, messenger, and the like, to
high-c'ass clerkships, and even prom
inent official positions, such as Asst
Attorney General, Collector, Collec-
tor e Internal Revenue, New York;
Register OF U. S. Treasury, Recorder
of Deeds in The District of Columbia,
Auditor of Navy, etc. For years and
years the Negro has worked in
friendship and with efficiency along
side of his white brother in various
Government departments, and no po-
litical party, prior to the advent of
President Wilson, the breaker of
precedents' has ever attempted to
segregate the Negro in the depart
mental service. Even under Grover
Cleveland's adm inisJration the Ne
gro was considered a part of official
Washington, and proved himself to
be competent and dependable
American. But when President Will
son was inaugurated well-organ-
lied effort was made to change all of
this, and the persistent aim of the
Democratic Party has been to elimi-
nate and humiliate the Negro.

Tissues And Muscles Are
Torn Away By
The Shot
AFFAIR ACCIDENTAL
six-Year-oId Son Had Muzzle Close
To Fathers Leg When Gun Was
Diseharged--Man Removed
To Hospital With
Great Speed

Unless infection sets in, the chances
for complete recovery of Cal Burger,
who was so badly shot Friday after
noon while working at a gas well a
mile and a half south of Bangs when
his six-year-old son accidentally dis
charged a gun, are very good
Examination at the Mt. Vernon hos
pital, where the man was rushed in
Miller Brothers ambulance after the
shooting, showed that there was a tear
in the skin six inches in diameter near
the rectum. This was nearly round in
shape, while the shot had burrowed
down the mans left leg distance of
eight inches. Tissues were torn away
by the force of the shot, while there
was a bad powder burn near the
wound. A portion of the muscles near
the rectum were torn away.
A count was made of the number
of shot in the other shell of the gun,
the latter being double-barreled af-
fair. 1t was found that there were 270.
The size was No. 6. In removing the
clothing of Burger at the hospital, any
number of the shot, blood stained,
were found. The wadding of the gun
was discovered inside of the tissues.
Burger of course suffered intensely,
although he put in very fair night
Friday. The tissues were thoroughly
cleansed and the wounds dressed with
antiseptics and attaches of the hospital
reported Saturday that the mans
chances for recovery are good, chiefly
on account of the speed with which at
tention was given him. He was shot
about two o'clock and, before 2:SO
o'clock, was in the hospital.
The shooting was purely accidental.
Burger was 'swabbing" a gas well
and had his six-year-old son, Jay, with
him. The little fellow was playing
with a shotgun, standing nearby to

WILSON MONEY UP;
TAKERS ARE SCANT

A round of the pool rooms in the
city Saturday morning showed that
there is much money up on President
Wilson, takers of which have been
few. At Barre's, for instance, there
has been posted all last week two
bets of 500 each and one bet of SIS
that Wilson would be elected and
800 that the president will carry
the state, none of which has been
taken. At the City Cigar Store, there
is bet of $500, offered at the odds
of 800 to SIS, that Wilson will car
ry the state, while another bet Of $50
to $40 that Wilson will be elected
still stands. This betting is very sig
nificant and reveals the trend of
thought of the people.

Post And End Is Rammed Into
Its Cranium-Miss Sweet
Has Narrow Escape

A woman who gave her name as
Miss Sweet of Fredericktown was
badly hurt and horse she was driv-
ing was instantly killed in run
away accident on South Franklin ave-
nue. yesterday afternoon, says Satur-
day mornings Mansfield Shield.
The horse which Miss Sweet was
driving belonged to her brother-in-
law and has always been known as
a runaway horse. She drove up back
of the courthouse and removed the
bride from the horses head with
the intention of feeding it. With the
binders of the bride removed from
it's eyes the horse saw the top of the
buggy and became frightened, giving
a lunge and striking a hitching post.
The end of the two-inch iron post
penetrated the horses skull, killing
it instantly.
When the horse gave its lunge one
of the shafts struck Miss Sweet,
knocking her down. She narrowly
escaped being pinned under the horse
when it fell. She was badly cut and
bruised and was taken to local
drug store for treatment. Her wounds
proved very painful but she was able
to return to her home in Frederick.

Under the date of Nov. 3, the final
letter from the Republican state ex-
ecutive committee has been received
in this city. There is one sentence
of the utmost significance:
Take no chanees-vote the
Republican ticket from top to
bottom.
Lovely news for the candidates on
the Rep. county ticket who have been

isn't it? How they can reconcile their
plea for votes with this OFFICIAL

1t tried to delude the people into
thinking that Willis had decentral-

stamped the assertion as a falsehood,
exposing as it did that the salaries
under Willis exceeded those under
Cox by $575,OOO.
In short, the Willis organ has, en-
couraged by the campaign of 1914,
been led to the conviction that most
people will believe anything they see
in print. It's business is, politically,
fooling the people and this eleventh
hour canard fits right in with the
general idea of things.

in its issue of Thursday the following
alleged news item:
The cost of living just won't

Next Monday prices of baked
products at local bakeries that
have not already been advanced
will be sold at higher prices.
Five-cent loaves Of bread, the
size of which was cut down some

cents.
The ten-cent loaves will remain
the same as now in price, but the

The bakers will make the form

Monotonous Reading Of

FINAL "RALLY" rs DRY
Visit To Shops To LineJEm-Up For
Hughes Proves Futile Trip
Workingman Resents inter-
ference-Last Gun

The last grand rally" of the
Hughes es-Willis-Herrick campaign in
Knox county, Friday night, was fit
ting counterpart of the opener" 1t
not only failed of it's object, to line
up the shop men for the Hughes tick
ct, but caused disappointed and dis
gusted crowd to leave the court
house.
The speakers extensively adver-
tised for the occasion were Edward
F. Dingley Of Michigan and w. o.
Jackson of Springfield Ohio. Jackson
claims to be locomotive engineer,
and was brought here to placate the
opposition among railroad men and
shop men to Hughes. Jackson ar
rived in Mt. Vernon early in the day
to carry out his mission, which, in ad-
dition to making a speech, was to call
at the shops and see the men, He
made visit to the Pennsylvania
shops, but the men proved to be gun
visitor and his invitation to them to
come out in the evening and hear
him, did not show any indication OF
acceptances. The chilly reception he
received at the Pennsylvania shops
was so marked that he did not extend
his call to the other shops of the
city.
The meeting was only fairly attend
ed, and the shop men of the city were
conspicuous by their absence.
County Chairman Clutter, horny
handed son of toll, essayed to act
as chairman Of the evening, when no
shor man could be secured to act in
that capacity, and Mr.. Jackson was
presented as the first speaker. 1t
was dreary performance. After the
meeting a facetious gentleman re-
marked, "The trouble with Engineer
Jackson was that he opened up the
throttle before he got up steam and
couldn't shut it off," For an hour
and a half Mr.. Jackson rambled
along in a monotone, and did great
deal of reading from the Congression-
al Record and other as equally enter
tanning periodicals.
He created no enthusiasm and in
iected no pep" into his wearisome
discourse. He undertook to assail
the Adamson law, but his efforts were
weak and fruitless. From the time
he started until he finished there was
not the clap of a hand. The only
thing that evoked applause was
poem he recited at the end on the
Eight-Hour Work Day, and which
was written by Democrat.
During the delivery of the speech"
many of the audience left and at its
conclusion three-fourths of those who
were then present got up and left,
despite the efforts of Workman Clut-
ter to get them to remain to hear
Mr.. Dingley. The Michigan man was
much embarrassed by the leaving of
the audience and cut his speech
short.
A shop man remarked Friday night,
'FWhat do those Hughes fellows take
us for? Do they think we don't know
our own minds, and that we are not
capable of sizing up the situation and
determining how to vote? We know
the opposition of Hughes to the Ad-
amson law and we know Wilson's at
titude fully as well, or better, than
the Hughes managers in Mt. Vernon,
none of whom are worl1ingmen, and
