bit own party, and who an now
behind Governor Haskell and hla
• associates, th# opponent* of Mr.
* Taft In u»a oppoalU party.—Presi
dent Rooievelt.
ftt otter words, the President meant
to m.%7 that the defeat of Taft would
plaaae only the Standard Oil people
Hnd other parsons associated with and
pp-nth)f by the pradatory trust*. Did
ever a shifty politician utter a more
bold-faced perversion of what he real*
ly b* Hewed? If this were true, the
t>r>f%k of the contributions to the re-
pub) i< in nampalyn fund would he
(.pent •! tomorrow, and Bryan would be
deprived of one of the weapons he la
now employing with most deadly ef
fect against tt>a Republican candidate
and party.
w oaa earner* Mr. Roosevelt that
the ft*feat of the republican nominee
would bring lasting satisfaction** to
more chan half of the people of this
country,, not because they admire
Bryan nod .consider Taft a dummy, but
beca .se they want tha republican par*
ty dislodged from power In order that
the form Pt government established by
their fathers may not perish from the
earth,
What is the difficulty, It may be
asked, If more than half of the people
wish to retire tha republicans from
power? The answer le simple, and It
is that so many do not feel free to ex*
presa thetr wishes through the ballot
box. Being In the employ of the
tariff-fed trusts, and living from hand
to mouth, they are desperately afraid.
In these piping times of republican
•‘prosperity, M of losing their Jobs and
finding no other*. Fair warning was
given them of the temper of their
masters when the ateel trust In Ohio
not only sent out Its employes to
strengthen a Taft demonstration, but
put a uniform on them In order that
there might be no,-dodging.
A go In the republican* are complain
ing that they ran hardly get a cent
ot money with which to run the Toft
ampalgn, but no Xstute observer be
lieve* a word of It. This Is a shrewd
scheme to deceive the people. “The ob
ject* of the** ostentatious pretenses
•f poverty are two-fold,•* says tha Phi 1 *
adelphla Record. "One I* to conceal
oa much as possible from the American
people the enormous sum* of money
that are pouring Into the Coffers of
Treasurer'and Promoter Hhcldon from
the trust benaftclares to corrupt th*
elections for president and congress.
The oilier Is to deceive the democratic
management a* to tha extant of the
raaourcea tor promoting the ejection of
Taft and a national house of represen
tatives to maintain the existing sys
tem of tariff spoliation."
The gobbling up of the steel and
Iron Industry of the South by tha ateel
trust, with th# connivance of "truat-
bustlng" Roosevelt, will long be re
sented In this section, even though
there be a hair doten democrats in
every southern atate who foollrhty
Imagine that there la something |» be
galnod by voting for Roosevelt’s
dummy.
GRIEVING HIS FRIENDS.
Th* newspapers that favor tariff re
durttnn and. for tome Inscrutable tea
son. also favor th* election of the r#
puMlran nominee are no little .disturb
*<1 ovor Mr. Taft's peralatent charge
that the panlo ot 1899 was due to the
Gorman-Wllson tariff bill of lift.
Moreover, they are giving film fair
warning of the consequences of hit
foolishne*a—to employ no harsher
term. v ,
The New York Evening Poat, for ex
ample, eays: “If we may Judge from
letters which coma to us, and from
the comment which every one hear*,
something like two hr three thousand
hesitating voter* must be turned from
Mr. Taft every time he expounds anew
hla peculiar doctrine about th* Wilson
unit ami lha panlo dr Ult. Wa do not
recall any selection of an Issue* by d
oandldate In any previous campaign,
eo thoroughly calculated to do a intnl-
maim of good and a maximum of harm
t# hla political fortunes. It even aur
pawses General Hancock's innocent de-
scriptl. n of the tariff a* a local Issue.'
Th* 4*outh Dakota audience, to whom
Mr. Taft described the Wilson bill, on
Tuesday, a* that great tariff measure,'
•under the influence of whldb wheat
went down below fifty cent*,' may pos
sibly hav* included two or three farm
era so densely Ignorant as to suppose
that the two things had sore* relation
one another. Out tha South Dakota
speech was duly telegraphed and print
ed elsewhere and we can assure Mr.
Taft that for every muddle-headed
farmer wbo might have been deluded,
a hundred Intelligent reader* of hi*
words, among hla natural supporters
in other localities, were stirred to In-
dig nation at them. Hist he will ac
tually gain any vote# by such an ar»
gessent la doubtful in the extreme;
that he will loot votes by It la certain,
and hi* persistent repetition of It
passes our understanding.**
Report baa It that aotntbody I* try

that a syndicate, engineered by Wit

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—Walking arm

James P. English. In the express busi
ness, and his fiance. Miss Katharine
Murphy, were Instantly killed by a
Long Island railroad train at Winfield,
In Queens borough. Struck At a new
crossing, where no flagman had been

some time spent a? the Cook home
Kngllsh snd Mias Murphy went out for
a walk with a view to picking out a
cottage there for their future home,
for they were to be married soon.
The two were on their way back
to Mrs. Cook's, and were within a
block of thfr house, when they met
their tragic fate. • The !»ng island
railroad track* curve sharply at Bor
ough avenue, eo that It Is Impassible
to see a train coming from either
direction. Thera Is an added danger
tn that Borough avenue u a new thor-

watrfhman at the railroad crossing.
English and Miss Murphy were Just
stepping on the tracks as the Amxgon-
aett express came flying along, out
ward bound from Long Island CUy, at
fifty miles an hour.
Miss Murphy waa hurled In the air
and fell on the side of the track em-
b.mkment. her dead body rolling down
Into a gulley. English xra* thrown to

Into the south gulley.
Before the train could be brought
to a stop It had swept on some dis
tance beyond the scene of the trag
edy, The grinding of the wheels under,
pressure of the emergency brakes, fol
lowed by the Jarring and stopping of
the train, threw many passengers from
their seats and caused a panic In the
coaches. Several women tainted when
they learned what had happened.

All THESE CALAMITIES?
NEW YORK. Oct. •—A burglar en
tered the apartments of Mrs. 8Uas
Smith, at Peterson. N. J., and from
a bureau drawer, which wfca forced,
took, with other Jewelry, a ring which
tho** who know tt* history think will
bring th* thief bad luck. Mrs. Smith
attributes to th* baleful Influence of
the ring the death ot her son aa well
as the misfortune* which attended Mm
previous to hi* death.
. The ring ta an opal. It ha* been In
Patcraon fifteen years and each of Its
owners ha* had bad luck while the ring
remained In his possession. Men wh
remained In hts possession. Men who
owned tt tailed In business, were
wrongly accused of misdoings, were
discharged or lost Cteir positions, were
beaten by thug*, fought with their
friends, or were hit by a trolley car.
The one woman who dared tat* and
wore the ring tn open defiance of the
hoodoo which waa attached to it had
domestic trouble and triad suicide *
Another Warning Needed.
To the Editor of The Telegraph: —
I notice In Tho Telegraph, of even date
that you warn democrats In black
type against certain ticket* for the
elate election Wednesday next, the
tickets referred to ha\ing- been printed
and generally circulated by the re
publicans, and being a duplicate In
every respect except one of the offi
cial democratic ticket, tho exception
being that the republican ticket car
ries only the negative side of the dis
franchisement amendment. You bane
this very timely wurnlng on the fol
lowing statements mado by your At
lanta reporter In The Telegraph of
October 5:
"A large number of negroes will take
part In the election on account of the
disfranchisement Issue. While they
will all vole against the amendment
their votes will bo given th* regulav
democratic candidate. It Is believed.
Republican* will also vote the demo
cratic ticket.
"Plans hgve been taken by the state
democratic wxecutive committee to in
sure the adoption of the disfranchise
ment amendment by printing only one
*ld” of the question on the official
ballots. Tbosit who fall to take notice
nf this question will vote for the
amendment; If both sides were pre
sented and no notice taken, such votes
would be lost.
"It Is well, however, that voters
closely scan all ballots at the polling
places on election day. THe republi
cans have printed JOft.OOO ballots, car
rying th* names of all the democratic
candidates but with only the negative
side of disfranchisement presented.
These will be distributed throughout
the state."
8lnce you have become Interested In
the success of the disfranchisement
amendment, to the extent of warning
democrats against pitfalls laid for It.
( call your attention to the following
extract from a circular letter of In
struction sent to the democratic exe
cutive committee of Putnam county
under date Of September 2ft. 1109, and
presumably to every other county dem
ocratic executive committee In th# state
by the atate democratic exeqptlve com
mittee. and signed In writing "B. M.
Blackburn, secretary:”
"It la very Important that all ticket*
hear the constitutional amendment In
the exact words aa they appear at the
foot of thta tlcket, otherwise they can
not be Iftgftlly counted. If your local
commlttse dsslres to print th* negative
aid* of these two amendments, you
may do so simply by Inserting the word
'against' and scratching th# word 'for.'"
You will observe that the ticket thus
suggested is Identical with that pre
pared by the republicans, and agalnat
which you warn democrats, cx.'ept that
It also provides for tho negative on the
question of allowing the new county
of Ben HIM to have a renresentatlv*
In the legislature.
Such a ticket. If It has been adopted
hr a considerable number of county
democratic executive committee* a*
suggested, wilt seriously endanger the
ratification of the disfranchisement
amendment, unless the voters who ta-
vor that amendment t"k# car* to mark
out "against” and write "for" on that
part of the ticket.
