Jut the Right Man Has Not Yet
Been Found —Kansas Meth
ods Scored.
OYSTER BAY, July 31. —Colonel
Roosevelt today announced that a
Southern Democrat will be nominated
for vice president on the National Pro
gressive ticket if a good man can be
found.
"We are looking for such a man, he
said, "but have not found him yet."
With a Southerner as his running
mate on the ticket, the colonel hopes
to break into the solid South and at
tract voters who otherwise would sup
port Woodrow Wilson.
The effort of the Taft forces in Kan
sas to keep the Roosevelt candidates
for electors off the ballots at the pri
maries in that state next Tuesday was
roundly scored today in a statement
dictated by the ex-president. He at
tacked the whole Taft organization, in
cluding Charles D. Hilles, for trying, as
he put it, to prevent the voters every
where from having any voice in their
own affairs.
Colonel Roosevelt showed a letter he
received from William Allen White, the
Kansas editor, telling of the appeal
taken by the Taft men to Federal Judge
Pitney in the Kansas ballot controversy.
"Mr. White makes a strong statement
of the efforts of the regulars in Kan
sas to invalidate the whole primary by
having made the appeal to the Federal
court.” said the colonel. "He says the
Taft men. headed by Mr. Mulvane, who
was rear brakeman on the steam roller
at Chicago, are now taking the case
before Judge Pitney on the constitu
tional question involved in the fourth
amendment, which guarantees to every
man his political rights.
Fresh Proof of Wickedness.
“The Kansas people feel that the ap
peal can not be successful, and that it
is a fresh illustration of the wicked
way in which the effort is made to
twist the constitution so as to cause it
to protect privilege as against the peo
ple, instead of the people against priv
ilege
"This is only an effort by Mr. Taft's
managers in Kansas to use the supreme
court in ordt?r to deny to the people of
Kansas the right to referendum under
the Kansas laws as to what was done
at the Chicago convention. Kansas being
the only state in the Union where such
referendum may be had through a le
gally conduct 'd primary. The Kansas
peopel feel in accordance with the
formal protest made by Governor
Stubbs, that if the case is not decided
by Thursday the whole primary may be
invalidated, as the Kansas county print,
ers may be unable to print and the
clerk legally to deliver the ballots for
the primary on August 6.
"This action is simply a fresh illus
tration of the attitude of the Repub
lican bosses as shown in the national
convention and in every action since
taken by the boss-ridden machine which
masquerades as the Republican party.
Mr. Hilles, on behalf of Mr. Taft, prac
tically takes the position in the just
published defense of the committee that
the people of Washington. California
and Arizona have no right to express
their will at the primaries.
Shows New Party Need.
"The same attitude was taken by the
Irresponsible politicians on the national
committee. Mulvane and the Taft man
agers in Kansas, to keep the people
from saying whom they wish to vote
for as candidates.
"There could be no better proof of
the urgent need for the formation of a
new party which shall, in good faith
and in reality, and not as a sham, ac
cept and act on the doctrine that in
this country the people themselves shall
rule themselves.”
The ex-president found himself some
what embarrassed today over the re
port that John M. Parker, Democrat of
Louisiana, will be the permanent chair
man of the third party convention. Par
ker is to be one of the seconders of the
colonel's nomination for the presidency.
It would not do, the colonel remarked,
to have him perform both offices.
"We want to have a Southern Demo
crat as permanent chairman," observed
the colonel, "but Mr. Parker will not be
the man. I don't know just yet who the
chairman is to be. For the seconders,
we want to have as many different
parts of the country represented as pos
sible. but not to have too many of
them."

MAMIE AND LETTIE
CAN’T AGREE ON THE
GRACE CASE AT ALL
In a building immediately adjacent to
the court room in which the Grace trial
is being held, a row of girls work at
making overalls. The work room is one
story below, but the girls can go to the
window and see the crowds in the trial
rooms. They .also, by dint of a little vig
ilance, are able to see Mrs. Grace when
she passes into the court room and Eu
gene when he is brought in on a
stretcher.
One of these girls is Mamie. Mamie is
short, freckled, green-eyed and red-head
ed. yet she is far from being ugly. She
works hard and she works well, but at
intervals, during the last few days she
has found herself creeping to the west
ern window and looking up at the sway
ing crowds.
"Ah, gee,” she confided to a compan
ion, "I wisht I was up there."
“What for?" snorted the other. "You
wouldn't do nothin' but get your toes
stomped on and sweat and rub shoulders
with al) sorts o' roughneck men.”
She Has “A Intrust In Her.”
"I don't keer”—wistfully. "I wisht I was
there—and you do, too, Lettie, 'cause I
heard you wonderin’ this mornin' wheth
er she wore one of them close-hobbles
like you seen in the last fashion book.”
. "Os course," said Lettie "havin’ seen
her pickchers I want to see her close
and nacherlly 1 have an intrust in her
clothes, too. but 1 don’t want to be in
that crowd."
“Not even, if you could get close to the
place where they put Eugene?” asked
Ma m if.
“Well that’s diffrunt,” answered Let
tie. "I wasn't talkin’ 'bout him. He
sho' must be good-lookin' if he looks like
his pickchers."
His Hands Nice and Genteel.
“Oh. did I tell you that 1 seen him
when they brought him in the other
mornin'?” exclaimed Mamie. "No—well,
I had to Scrooge through a crowd of no
good men and wait for 'bout five minutes
tfntil they pulled him out from the au
tomobile on the stretcher. There was a
lot of newspaper guys hangin’ around
tryin' to snap his pickcher, but he seemed
to know what was goin on, for he cov
ered his face with a newspaper. On ac
count o' that 1 couldn't see nothin but
his hands. They looked nice and genteel
though, just like he had been havin’ his
fingers manicured every day since he's
been sick.”
"Did you see his toes wiggle?" asked
Lettie. "I seen in the paper where they
wiggled two or three times right while
court was goin' dn."
"Naw—and I don’t believe his toes ever
did wiggle. 1 don’t believe a good-look
ing, thoroughbred, genteel feller like Eu
gene wouldn’t do nothin’ that wasn't on
the square. It wouldn't be right for him
to wiggle his toes when he’s parry
lized ”
Poor, Poor Lettie!
T don’t think he's so genteel." ven
tured Lettie.
Mamie's only retort for such an ob
viously silly remark was a huge guffaw.
She looked at Lettie with an eye of su
preme' pity.
“You know he's genteel, or there
wouldn't be so much disturbance about

the whole business. I’ll bet that's the
reason that jealous cat shot him—”
"How do you know she shot him?”
queried Lettie. "I'll betcher she didn’t
shoot him. If she had. the first thing
she’d a done would a been to catch a
train for the Fillipino islands. Ain't no
woman in the world could 'ave shot a
man and then gone straight to his mama.
Why he’d a har.ted her all the way on Jhe
train.”
“Well —,” said Mamie, "One thing’s
sure. Ain't no 'doysal vertebray’ goin’
to snap ip two on its own hook. You
can bet your boots that somebody shot
him and she was the only one anybody
saw hangin’ around. Ain't nobody in any
of them big murder cases ever saw any
body shoot with his own eyes. They al
ways has to take hearsay. Them lawyers
figures it out just like a sum in rith
metic.”
"Ginerally Git Wrong Feller.”
"Yeh,” sneered Lettie, and they gen
erally wind up by figurin' the wrong fel
ler in jail. I ain't got no use for them
lawyers. They don’t do a thing but run
’aroun’ makin’ trouble so's they can get
the cases. They ain’t no good.”
"Why you poor boob," quoth Mamie, in
fine scorn. "I pity you—l do; I pity you
from the bottom of my heart. Even that
little nigger downstairs knows that you
got to have lawyers or nobody would
ever know whether them’s that's in jail
ought to be there or them’s that not
ought not. 'Spose they'd come up here
right now and say that you was the mys
terious woman what shot Eugene Grace.
Where’d you be if there wasn't for law
yers. Why they’d keep you in jail for
ever and maybe hang you."
This was a stunner for Lettie. For sev
eral moments she could make no response.
Finally she left the window wearily and
said—
" Well, I believe I'd ruther be in jail
than have one of them fellers get me
out." ....
Don't Want Nothin' Like Her’s.
“Look-a there,” shouted Mamie, sud
denly, “I believe it's breakin’ up. Let’s
go downstairs and see what Missus Grace
is wearin’ today. If we get a close look
we might be able to ketch what kind of
pattern it is. It’d be some class to have
a dress like Missus Grade.”
"I don’t want to wear nothin' like her,”
growled Lettie, her verbal defeat at the
hands of Mamie still rankling in her
breast. "First thing you know I’d be
shootin’ somebody.”
"Aw, come on," shouted Mamie. “Don't
be a dub.”
Thus mollified Lettie joined Mamie and
after obtaining permission to leave, the
two ran to sidewalk to wait for the ap
pearance of Mrs. Grace.

LITTLES! ELK IS
LOST Sim
For five days W. W. Cludden, wire
chief at the Atlanta office of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, has
been seeking in vain to learn whether
his brother, Charles, is dead or dying
in Lancaster, Pa„ after a street car dis.
aster.
Cludden's brother is known through
out the country as the "Littlest Elk.”
He gained this title at a national con
vention of that order because standing
only an inch over four feet in height
his brother Elks pointed him out there
as the most conspicuous member of
their fraternity.
Not even members of his lodge have
been able to find "the Littlest Elk,”
though they know that a week ago he
was injured badly in a street car wreck
and was taken, with some other vic
tims, to a hospital in Lancaster.
W. W. Cludden received word of his
brother’s injury and telegraphed first
to a brother, George Cludden, for de
tails.
He got no answer and that led him
to believe that both his brothers had
beep Injured or killed in the same
wreck. Charles Cludden is well known
in mercantile circles in Lancaster, but
the detective his brother sent out by
wire to find him could only report that
he had been taken to a hospital, un
conscious, and was no longer there.
Elks in Lancaster are making further
search for Cludden.
W. W. Cludden has another brother,
two sisters-in-law and several other
relatives in Lancaster. He fears that
all of them have been so badly hurt in
the same wreck with Charles Cludden
that they are lying unconscious and
unidentified in hospitals.

2,000 IN POSSE HUNT
TEXAS NEGRO, SLAYER
OF 2 OF HIS PURSUERS
CLARKSVILLE, TEXAS, July 31.—Two
thousand men and boys today are search
ing this and adjacent counties for Leon
ard Potts negro, who last night shot and
killed Sheriff Charles Stevens when the
latter led an attack on the house where
Potts lay in ambush. Potts escaped dur
ing the fusillade, but a negress who ac
companied him was killed.
Potts escaped from Dallas jail Satur
day and killed a policeman who tried to
capture him. He is armed with two au
tomatic revolvers and a rifle and is a
crack shot. If located by the posse a
desperate battle is certain. If caught
lynching is threatened.
Potts is now hiding in a wild woody
country which makes the hunt difficult
and hazardous. Sheriff Stevens, famous
as a fearless man, fell at the first shot
from the negro's gun.
Fourteen negroes were placed in jail
today while the authorities endeavored
to gain information from them as to
Potts’ movements. Threats of violence
against them are heard.
