Claremont Courier Says That
Political Tide Is Against •
Clark and Folk.
PRINCETONIAN WILL WIN
Thinks Progressive Republicans
Will Join Democrats in Vot
ing for New Jersey Man.
The following 1« from Tho Clare-
more (Mo.) Courier:
It begins to look very much
like Woodrow Wilson, .the ex-
president of Princeton universi
ty and the present governor of
New Jersey, seems to be the
“man of the hour.” We are as
patriotic as any Missourian on
earth, and would give anything
within our means to see Champ
Clark or Joseph W. Folk nomi
nated, but it looks foolish to us
to be traipsing around in pri
maries and conventions and tear
ing our clothes off when the po
litical tide is all against us.
We do not profess to be a po
litical sage, but we have kept
one eye on Wilson ever since he
was elected to the high position
he now fills, and we must say in
our opinion he has made good.
His first fight against the corrupt
interest for a United States sena
tor who was clean and above re
proach and suspicion was an act
which attracted the attention
and admiration of the whole
country. His official life has
been consistent and conservative.
He is safe and sane on all ques
tions of government. If the Re
publicans nominate Taft and the
Democrats Wilson, both of which
look like sure shots, the Demo
cratic ticket will receive the
largest popular vote and the larg
est electoral vote ever cast for a
president. Even Pennsylvania
will be in doubt. All the pro
gressive Republicans will flock to
the Democratic ticket, and we
will witness Wisconsin, Iowa,
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Idaho,
Washington, Oregon, California,
Kansas. Nebraska, Colorado, Ne
vada and all the solid South and
half the East casting -their elec
toral vote for a Democratic pres
ident. Such a sight will certain
ly bring joy to the hearts of all
those who believe in honest and
upright methods in politics and
government.

While advices received here from

points, all Indicated that a terrible

The lives of the foreign residents In
the foreign concessions at Hankow are
in greater danger than they have been
at any other time since the rebellion
broke out. Their chief menace lies In
the fact that a number of Manchu
families and native Chinese have taken
refuge in the concessions from the at
tacks of rebel soldiers on one hand and
by the Imperialist troops on the other.
Foreigners have been armed and are
assisting the marines from the twelve
warships In the harbor to patrol the
concessions and prevent the Ingress of
armed hordes of soldiers. Even the

82-YEAR-OLD HUSBAND
Says if He Wants to Go Back

Fight in Courts.
Norman J. Coleman Dead.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 3.—Norman J.
Coleman, first secretary of agricul
ture. died on the train en route to 6t.i
Louis at 2 o'clock this morning. 1
Aged William W. Martin's wish that
his recent summer romance come to an
end and that he bo permitted to go
back home to his four daughters, will
be gratified.
Mrs. Margaret Martin, his nurse bride,
will make no fight to keop him. She
will offer no opposition to the granting
of the writ of habeas corpus, taken out
by Miss Hattie Martin, eldest daughter
of the bed-ridden old man. which will
tear her husband from her. This means
that the writ will be granted by Judge
Ellis when It comes up for hearing
Saturday morning.
Mrs. Martin Informed a Georgian re
porter Friday momlnr that she has de.
elded on thla course.
While, of course, I hate to give up
my husband,” said Mrs. Martin, "still If
he desires to leave me and go back to
hla daughters, I will offer no opposi
tion. He can do as he pleases.'
Ths aged man. who has been In cus
tody nearly all of this week, pending
the outcome of the habeas corpus pro
ceedings. will be released from the
Tower Saturday morning and again
take up his abode In his former home
In Capitol View.
In announcing that sho will make no
fight to retain her husband, Mrs. Mar
tin asserts that Dr. Thomas J. Moss, of
Riverside, a friend of tho Martin family,
has come between her and her husband
and poisoned his mind against her. in
answer to the charges of the aged
bridegroom that she has mistreated
him. Mrs. Martin also says some other
peppery things.
”1 dislike to say anything against Mr
Martin, as he is my husband." she says,
"but I can not rest under his false
accusations without defending myself.
"There has been a lot of unpleasant
ness because Mr. Martin Is an Infidel
and has no religious belief. Ho Is one
of the moat wicked men I have ever
soon, and has frequently cursed me ter
ribly—whenever I would not obey hla
commands just as soon as he thought I
ought to. It was simply awful. But I
have tried to bear up under It all and
do the best I could for him.”
As to Dr. Moss, she says:
"This msn. Dr. Moss, would come to
the house, csrrylng messages between
Mr. Martin and his daughters, and has
poisoned my husband's mind ngainst
me. Mrs. Jennie Mertln Sudan, the
married daughter, has also come to the
house and done all she could to break
up our relations. If these people hao
only let us alone we could have gotten
along all right."
Asked If she would sue for a divorce,
Mrs. Martin replied:
"No, I'm a Catholic. We don't sue
for divorce. If a divorce Is asked It
will come from the other side.
"When Mr. Martin goes back to his
daughters he will be absolutely free
from me," she added. “I assure him I
will never cross his path again and will
never molest him In the slightest. And
If the daughters will only leave me
alone they need never worry about me
at all."
And thus ends the remarkable ro
mance and secret marriage on July 18
laat of an 81-year-old bed-ridden man
and hie nurse.
