Reasons Why Women Should Support Governor'
SHE BOOSTS FOR WILSON |

\ * f ' .. //
Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, of New York, a wealthy
woman, who is aiding the cause of Wilson and Marshall,
tells why women should help the. Democratic nominees. •
Taft and Roosevelt Would Be
Powerless Without Loyal
Congress.
By MRS. J. BORDEN HARRI
MAN.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—This Is an ex
traordinary moment in public affairs in
this country and not the least extraordi
nary feature is that the active support
and Influence of women have been
openly sought by the great political par
ties. This in itself Is an unconscious tes
timonial of the greatest significance to
the growing power of women In political
affairs. This recognition creates a unique
opportunity which the women must not
fail to conserve.
Jn this new era dawning largely be
cause women have demanded that as the
old fields of labor closed behind them
they should be permitted entrance into
the new let the women of this land not
forget that there are. measures for which
they all should stand, Irrespective of par
t ies.
The purpose of the Woman’s National
Wilson and Marshall organization is to
mak.. posisble a partnership, irrespective
of former political affiliations, of all wom
en in the United States who have a com
mon Interest In the election of Woodrow
Wilson.
Why should women vote for Woodrow
Wilson?
Reasons for Supporting Wilson.
First, Because though a lender of prog
ress, he Is again setting up the old stand
ard of principles for all men to fol
low, instead of tolerating the degenera
tion that has come into our political life
resulting from the control of many by the
few.
Second, Because he is a true pragmatist,
the philosopher and poet who, always
reaching out with one hand to attain an
ideal, keeps the other where It may never
allow him to lose touch with the sordid
ness and sadness of the lives of the bur
den bearers, and so, on this middle course,
is the link between the two.
I hird. Because he lias demonstrated in
two years in New Jersey what an ex
ecutive who has tlie welfare of the work
ing classes next his heart can do for them
through legislation. Eor instance, in his
administration has been passed the first
law relating to women wage earners ever
enacted in New Jersey It limits their
< tnployment to sixty hours a week. Also
an act providing sanitary conditions in
bakeries, randy and tee cream manufac
tories. and all factories where goods of
any kind are manufactured; a provision
protecting workers against draughts,
fumes, gases and steel filings, and one
compelling a half hour for meals for all
factory employees; and an employers’ lia
bility act has been passed for the ben
efit of women and children during the dis
ability or after the death of the bread
winner.
Laws for Children.
Ever so many laws for the protection
of children have gone through. Their
employment during school hours and at
night is prohibited, and there can be no
night messenger boys under 21.
Special classes under the board of edu
cation have been established for children
who are blind or below normal. No per
son controlling a place of public amuse
ment may allow the presence of a child
under eighteen unaccompanied by parents
or guardian. An act to regulate moving
picture shows has been passed, and laws
for the improvement of free public
schools. A committee on playgrounds
l as been provided for all cities and vil
lages with power to establish recreation
places And any adult who Is found en
couraging Juvenile delinquency may be se
verely punished and a juvenile detention
< ourt and special county judge for juve
niles has been appointed.
Fourth, because women, as the pur
cbasers of nearly everything that comes
■ into the home, they feel more keenly than
| almost anyone else the effect of the in-
,r, using cost of living One of the causes
lof this increased cost is the tariff The
Democratic party is pledged to reduce
| the tariff and Woodrow Wilson, as its
II e.-. tier. will certainly acomplish this.
Fights Without Personalities.
Fifth, because he Is going to prove that
jit is no - , necessary that a campaign, to be
sic < -nil. must h, fought out in a slough
iof p, rs. t alities and recriminations, but
| may !>• won on the uplands by a leader,

SAYS TEDDY WILL
END A DRUNKARD
Prohibition Leader Raps Chief
Beavers for Not Closing the
Near-Beer Saloons Also.
That Senator Hoke Smith was inclined
to favor a Georgia law allowing the man
ufacture and sale of beer and light wines,
and that Theodore Roosevelt is addicted
to the strong drink habit, and will be in
the psychopathic ward of an insane asy
lum within four years, are statements by
Charles E. Newlin, of Indianapolis, Ind.,
noted prohibition leader and lecturer.
Mr. Newlin spoke at the convention
of the state prohibitionists yesterday, at
the Piedmont hotel, at which Police Chief
James L. Beavers was criticised for al
lowing near-beer saloons to remain open
after he had issued his order closing the
disreputable houses.
1 hat the Anti-Saloon league had done
Governor Marshall, of Indiana., Demo
cratic candidate for vice president, a
great injustice, was stated by the pro
hibition leader, who said that Governor
Marshall opposed the manufacture and
sale of liquors and believed in laws
against it.
Thinks Bryan Will Run Again.
Mr. Newlin closed his address by de
claring that Bryan would be the Demo
cratic nominee for president In 1916, and
that a prohibition plank would be part of
the Democratic platform.
The following electoral ticket was nom
inated:
At large, L. N. Stanfeil. Hahira; J.
Sheridan Bunch, Atlanta; First district,
Henry \V. Hale. Savannah; Second dis
trict, James E. Shingler. Ashburn; Third
district. M S. Prather, Americus; Fourth
district. N. C. Pease, Columbus; Fifth
district, E. E. Davis, Atlanta; Sixth dis
trict, 1- S Etheridge. Jackson; Seventh
district. A. .1. Clark, Acworth; Eighth dis
trict, Charles Furlow Madison; Ninth dis
trict. R. A. Spellman. Mathis: Tenth dis
trict, .1 T Neel. Thomson; Eleventh dis
trict, M N. Nanney. Brunswick; Twelfth
district, .1 G. Rochmer, Jeffersonville.
the crystallization of individual opinions,
which like a snowball grows in magni
tude as it is rolled on its way, by each
enthusiastic touch.
Measures writing inconsistencies in our
present industrial situation, viz: little
children stunted or bent under labor,
children started often on criminal careers
through misdirected play instincts owing
to these Instincts, having no legitimate
outlet.
Unconsciously long hours for working
women Human beings herded together
like animals in many great cities, with a
deplorable lack of breathing space; inade
quate facilities for caring for the tuber
eulous poor.
Furthermore, women should add their
influence to those who are struggling to
bring polities into the open, to make it
the business of all the people, for how
else can the common Interests be pro
moted?
How best may these things be brought
about or at least brought nearer at this
juncture?
Taft and T. R, Helpless.
Not by supporting Mr. Taft, because
even if he Were elected, there is no pos
sibility of tlie election of a Republican
house of representatives, so that he would
therefore be helpless to fulfill any prom
ises that he might make.
Not by the election of Colonel Roosevelt,
because it is clear that by no miracle
could he have a "Bull Moose" senate and
house of representatives behind him. It
Is Obvious, therefore, that he too would be
unable to carry out the pledges of his
platform.
The dear logic of the situation then. Is
that Gov Wilson is the only candidate
who n winning will have a friendly sen
ate and house of representatives and so
■ be able to fulfill his promises and carry
out the policies to which he is committed.
This man lias said "The whole busi
ness of conservation lies right around you
and it is Just as much your business to
conserve tlie water resources and all these
I things that should be as common and as
useful as the air. When you have tu
. bervulosis. contagion of any kind, when
you sweep through the streets and facto
, ties, you are interested in the deepest
: conservation of all conservations that
start with the health of men.”
Let the Influence of the women bo used
to try to keep all bitterness and backbit
ing out of political campaigns, remember
ing that differences of opinion are only
superficial after all It is the fundamen
tal desire f r right and justice that
counts.
SENT LOVE NOTES
TO WIFE OF SNEAD
Letters of Boyce to “My Dari- 1
ing Girl” Introduced at the
Banker’s Hearing.
AMARILLO, TEXAS, , Sept. 26.
Letters from Al G. Boyce to Mrs. Lena
Snead, wife of the banker who killed
Boyce nearly two weeks ago as a re
sult of the elopement of his wife and
Boyce a year ago, were introduced in
evidence in the hearing on the appli
cation of Boyoe for a writ of habeas
corpus. Letters written to Mrs. Snead
by Boyce after the banker and his wife
had become reconciled and in which
Boyce addressed Mrs. Snead as “My
Darling Girl” were shown.
Cross-examination of Mrs. L. A. Rog
ers, of Dallas, relative to letters signed
"Albert,’’ alleged to have been shown
her by Mrs. Snead in July and August
of this year, occupied most of yester
day afternoon’s hearing.
Plot on Snead’s Life.
Mrs. Rogers reiterated statements as
to her knowledge of the alleged plot
against Snead’s life, and testified that
on one occasion Mrs. Snead had writ
ten Boyce that she was expecting to
become a mother, and that Boyce had
replied, expressing gladness.
Other witnesses testified as to cor
respondence said to have passed be
tween Boyce and Mrs. Snead in recent
months, and of visits Mrs. Snead is
said to have received from Boyce at
various points in and out of the state.
Len Boyce, brother of the late Al.
Boyce, with whose murder Snead is
charged, was the first witness. After
identifying his brother's handwriting,
the witness said he had written to Al.
G. Boyce in Fort Worth during July of
this year, under the names of “John
ston” and "Oldsby.”
Despite objections of the prosecution,
the correspondence between Mrs. Snead
and Al. G. Boyce for two weeks imme
diately preceding the shooting were ad
mitted into evidence.
The letters identified by Len Boyce
and introduced were written by Boyce
from Winnipeg. Canada, last winter,
after Snead had taken his wife back to
Texas.
“Darling Girl” Letter.
One, dated January 20, reads in part:
“My Darling Girl: The morning pa
pers here report your release from the
sanitarium, and you can’t imagine how
hr has helped and relieved me, and I
thank God for it. It has been a hard
struggle for me to hold myself here, es
pecially so after I found from the pa
pers that you were back in the sani
tarium. How long do you think be
fore you can procure a divorce?”
After saying he had written to Lake
Charles, the letter continues:
"I did not send money to the bank
there, as I saw in the papers that you
were back in the sanitarium. But I
will send it there or any place you
want it, or do not hesitate to draw
checks, as you know, darling, what I
have is yours, and I want you to feel
as free to use it as myself. Where
had you rather live after we can be
married, precious?"
Among the letters introduced was a
telegram dated Amarillo. August 14, to
Mrs. A. J. Perkins, Lake Charles, La.,
signed “A. G. Boyce," reading:
"Can you meet me in Dallas tomor
row? Am informed Snead has again
locked Lena up.”
“Lena" is the given name of Mrs.
Snead.'
Swore To Kill Boyce.
John Pace, of Clayton, N. M., broth
er-in-law of Snead, testified that dur
ing Snead's trial at Fort Worth last
winter for killing the elder Boyce,
Snead told him that when he and Al.
Boyce met either he would kill Al. or
Al. would kill him.
The usual point which the defense is
making was brought out again sharply.
This contention is that because the day
of the killing was the first time Boyce
and Snead had met since Boyce came
between Snead and his wife, the trial
should be by a jury the same as if
Snead met Boyce during the latter’s
elopement with Mrs. Snead a year ago.
Judge Browning ruled the defense
must show that the meeting between
Snead and Boyce September 14, the day
of the killing, was their first meeting
since Mrs. Snead’s elopement with
Boyce.

SEEKS YOUNG MECHANIC
ELLSWORTH. PA.. Sept. 26.—Some

ette county. William Brady, a machin
ist. wandered today looking for work.

ing for him. It has something to do

CHARGES JONES
MEN WITH FRAUD
‘ Duncan, Defeated Candidate
for South Carolina Governor,
Answers Opponent.
SPARTANBURG. S. C., Sept.' 26
John T. Dunean, one of the defeated
candidates for governor, read his an
swer before the sub-committee, now
investigating alleged fraud in the re
cent primary election in South Caro
lina, in reply to the complaint filed by
attorneys for Judge Ira B. Jones. Mr.
Duncan made sensational charges. He
asserted that he had been told by a
responsible person that SIOB,OOO had
been .spent on the election and this
money was used by friends of Judge
Jones. He said SIOO was spent at one
precinct, and strongly advised the hold
ing of another primary. Mr. Duncan
furnished no names in his charges and
the committee instructed him to pro
vide these so that they may be exam
ined.
Shortly after Duncan made his
charges, the committee adjourned and
boarded a train for Greenville, where
another session was held. Detective E.
S. Reed and others have been at work
in efforts to determine fraud in .Green
ville.
Going For Reed’s Testimony.
Reed is the same detective who dlc
tographed Samuel J. Nicholls, the young
Spartanburg attorney. If Mr. Reed had
come to Spartanburg, it is possible that
trouble would have occurred. It is as
sumed that the committee went to
Greenville in order to get the testimony
of Reed.
The sub-committee accomplished
much real work here, and the riotous
scenes which marked the session the
first afternoon were replaced with a
dignified and orderly session. None of
the men who Tuesday i threatened to
cause a riot was present yesterday and
the work was hastened.
W. B. Wilson, Jr., one of the com
mitteemen named by Chairman W. F.
Stevenson to get reports and charges
from all of the counties in the upper
section of the state, submitted his re
port here. In many of the counties he
had evidences of fraud, while in others
he reported that there has been no con
tests or alleged irregularity.
BULL ATTACKS RED AUTO;
FAN CUTS JUGULAR VEIN
ELWOOD, IND., Sept. 26. —While
driving an auto along the highway
seven miles northeast of Elwood, Hen
ry Cohrel and family were attacked by
an enraged bull and their automobile
was put out of commission. Boys had
been teasing the animal by waving a
red blanket at it. As the automobile
approached, the bull broke through the
fence and charged the red automobile.
The bull was almost beheaded by the
steel fan which supplies air to cool the
engine. The jugular vein was cut and
the bull bled to death. None of the
occupants in the machine was in
jured, but the automobile was dam
aged.
HONK! HONK! NO. NOT AUTO;
JUST GEESE GOING SOUTH
BLOOMINGTON, ILL., Sept. *6.—
The cold wave of this week started the
ducks and geese southward from the
breeding grounds of the north and hun
dreds of sportsmen were out along the
Illinois river and tributary streams and
lakes. This is the earliest flight of the
larger species recorded in many years,
and Is regarded by the veteran hunters
as presaging an early fail and severe
winter. The birds will remain for a
few weeks along the central Illinois
feeding grounds. A long season is in
dicated by the early flight and sports
men believe that the shooting will con
tinue until November 1.
MANY HORSES ARE DYING
BECAUSE OF VACCINATION
RED CLOUD, NEBR., Sept. 26.—A
widespread warning has been sent out
from Red Cloud that practically all of
the horses that have been vaccinated
because of the new disease are dying.
Well posted horsemen say that a large
number of the animals have been vac
cinated with the virus used in treating
the blackleg in cattle, and that all that
have thus been treated are dead or dy
ing. The disease itself is dying out in
this vicinity, and the conditions will
soon be about normal again, if no at
tempts are made to check it with vac
cination.
ENDS LIFE IN 245-FOOT
LEAP FOR FILM PHOTOS
BERLIN, Sept. 26.—The police have
exonerated the moving picture oper
ators whose employee. Buettner,
jumped 245 feet to death from the top
of the Column of Victory in the Tier
garten.
The parachute tlie operators provided
was in good order, it was proved, until
I Buettner, who had attempted suicide
before, tampered with it to prevent it
from opening. It is doubtful, however,
if the authorities will permit the ex
hibition of the films.

Shubert Theatrical Company for $1,500
damages for alleged breach of contract.

open the Grand, then playing standard at
tractions under the management of the
Shuberts, went to the Atlanta.
Field had left Atlanta when the Shu
berts filed suit. The minstrel man as
