6 50UTHM FOR SECOND PLACE ML B. 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." Whites to Rule In New Party CHICAGO, July 31.—Senator Joseph M Dixon, head of the provisional national committee of the new progressive party and campaign manager for Roosevelt, ar rived here today He will take personal Charge of affairs here "In the three contests that will cotne before the national convention, he said, "all of which involve Southern states, it Is probable that the white delegates will be seated and that, the colored contest ants will not be seated It is also certain that the platform adopted will include a strong plank in favor of woman’s suf frage ' Senator Dixon said that it was the pol icy of the new party that white people should rule in the Southern states Ills statement was in line with the plan to have 175 Confederate soldiers marching with 175 veterans of the Federal army, as special guests of the convention , L’ r soreness of the muscles, whether uce . <l by vi °ient exercise or Injury ' Md! . ■** ’• ’‘"thing better ~ f homie r "ra ,eUmalk ' paina ' l ' or l,v • 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 '£ M. RICH & BROS. CO. The Real Department Store M. RICH & BROS.

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.

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.
