organ, were today sentenced to serve
nine months imprisonment in the sec

by a jury of conspiracy and mali
ciously inciting their followers to dam

The sentence to the second division
takes from the punishment the element
of hard 'labor
The copy ietlon and sentencing of
three leaders was the result of a series
nf street disorders that culminated On
the evening of March 1 in a general
attack in which hundreds of women
broke in windows, demolished proper
ty, hurled bricks and fought with the
police in the center of London's most
important district

I relieved of the first sentence after a |
: small portion of it had been served in
order to allow her to prepare for her

woman alone bought 36 hammers from
him to be used in the attack.

Ohio, but our opponents needed a sub
stantially solid vote in order to give
them a chance to make a contest at
the Chicago convention."
The -colonel was jubilant over the
outcome of the latest state to register
its belief that he should be nominated
to succeed President Taft. He took
the opportunity to poke a little fun at
President Taft's declaration that he
would not trust the Jmpulslve judg
ment of the people bv saving:
"I am very much pleased ti'ith the
•mpul ive judgment' of Ohio."
Prefers People’s Choice to Bosses.
"I can only repeat," he continued,
"what I have already said —that I in-,
finitely prefer the deliberate judgment
of the people to their impulsive judg
ment. and in Ohio we got their deliber
ate judgment. And, as 1 have also said,
if I Jiad to make the choice I would
choose the impulsive judgment of the
people rather than the deliberate judg
ment of the bosses."
Then, discussing the possibility’ of
the Taft--forces starting a contest to
oust his delegates at Chicago, he said:
"The victory in Ohio means that it
w ill be hopeless Tor them to .’try to do
' that at Chicago by unseating our dele
gates who represent the popular will in
Washington, Indiana, Kentucky and
elsewhere; nor will it be possible for
them to try to win by seating delegates
from Southern states who represent
nothing whatever exc/pt fraud.
“Victory of Plain People."
“I am profoundly appreciative of
what the people’of. Ohio have done. It
represents a victory not only for
plain people of the Republican party,
hut for every good citizen in the United
States For In this contest we have
stood for the fundamental rights of
good citizenship and every honest and
decent citizen, no matter what his poli
tics, is profoundly concerned In - our
victory, for we are fighting -his bat
tles"
Walter F Brown, chairman of th*
Ohio state central committee, who led
the Roosevelt forces to victory in Taft's
home state, was a guest of the colonel
today. He was as jubilant as was the
ex-president.-and asserted that Rooso
velt.wvould have received a-much heav
ier vote If. the narf>«s of both the can
didates had been printed on the Ohiy
ballot
Roosevelt started out on a. long ride
on horseback ' after mailing his'com
ments on the Ohio primaries. He will
invade New Jersey tomorrow and is
confident he will win another victory
there.

GIRL COOKS WIN COIN

school.

Ineffable
From this time forth the. gentle art of
cookery takes a place along with .the
works of genius—at least, so far -is
these apostles of 'Numa. Pompilius are
concerned. .F’rdni this time forth Do
mestic Science will not be counted.as a
science-by therm but as an art ineffable.
It was the idea of convincing these
officials which prompted Miss Nettie
Sergeant, principal, of the school, to
plan the battle which resulted in laying
several councilmen and one mayor by
the heels ...she adopted this principle:
S'o'me men have hearts, but all men. in
the. nature' of-things, hate stomachs.
Accordingly, these city parents were
asked to drop around and take a. look
at the girls w'ho were being taught to
cook and take a taste of what they
copked. The council, went —yesterday
afternoon. They may not have gone tn
scoff, but they certainly remained to
pray—to pray, for -a retention of appe
tite so long as edibles prepared by pink
hands were still "-extant.

WALKER ISSUES ROOSEVELT CALL FOR A
SOUTHERN ROOSEVELT CAMPAIGN CLUB
Tbe tfri* has come for the South to re
take Its full share in national affairs,
from Tthirh it withdrew in 1881 We can
not do this as long as we are owned by
one national political party We must be
free to choose between men and meas
ures in national affairs like all the other
sections of our country. It is all right to
have a s f afe Democratic party for our
state affair*. We want recognition by
both national parties We must have a
vice presidential candidate from the
South on the ticket with Roosevelt. For
it is now certain that Roosevelt will be
nominated and elected president
His non-sertionalism gives th? South
our opportunity for full and complete
recognition in our country's national po
litical affairs. Roosevelt is just the man
wc want. He represents all that’s best
in our political progress. And Roosevelt
is the very man to put a Southern man
on his ticket for the vice presidency.
