News dispatches state that Mr, Roose
w¢lt and his protege, Booker Washington,
were closeted together at a late hour re
censly discussing the question of linch
ngs in the south. Mr. Roosevelt could
have called into conference many south
ern white men who are as much opposed
to lynching as he is, and who without
doubt have given him more reliable in
fornxafion than the Alabama negro. But,
then, shat isn’t Teddy'’s style, _
The Unitad Ctates senate having a sec
ond time adjourned without confirming
Teddy's nominajion of Crum the said
Teddy has given Crum another recess
appointment. Verily our president doth

There are newspapers claiming to be
Democratic that are saying more mean
things about Bryan, Hearst and Tamma
ny than they tan find occasion for saying
about Roosevelt and the Republican
party and whose constant efforts appear
to be aimed at driving these two loyal
Democrats and this poworful political
organization awa+ from the Democratic
party. And yet the help of these party
factors will all be needed to elect a Dem
ocratic president this year, and no sane
mzn believes that the Democratic party
can win with them arrayed againstit,

In this issue you will note the an
‘nouncement of Mr. D, A, Ragn for Rep
