These men are afraid ol Iloosev?lt and his ticket and look to the Democrats to give them justice It is a novel position for 'lie democratic party to be placed in. Thh is the first campaign since Cleveland's time when the democrats havt been able to get to the pie counter, Heretofore they have stood by and abused the republicans for trust affiliations. Republican leaders aiready are preparing to desseinina-e the news that Andrew Carnegie concontributed $.">n,nuu to the democrat campaign tuna, uarnegte sajs nonaf / velt wants to become dictator and must be beaten. Not alone in New York state it the democratic party the "reactionary" party this year and the republican the "radical." In New Jersey, the democrats are being supportH by the interests." It is openlychargod in financial circles that the New Jersey democratic campaign is being financed by J. P. Morgan's office. Prof. Wood row Wilson may not be cognizant of it, but it is being declared with great positivencss to be the fact. The reason assigned for this support is that the financial interests are grooming Prof. Wilson to oppose Roosevelt in Ii? 12. In Ohio it is well known that CJov. Harmon, the democratic candidate for re-election, is backed by the moneyed and corporation interests, an.i the campaign is receiving aid from New York, all with the object of atempting to check republican succe.-a for fear that Roosevelt will take control of that party in the nation as be has in New York. In Indi.iua P.e\eridge is fighting a lone nana wuii ininiiaui,. cui|j>.? ?? Pags. while the democrats are gutting substantial aid from sources that hitherto supplied the Republican party.

The head of one of the great financial institutions, which heretofore has been generous to the Republicans. made this remark to the writer: "We don't care if a Democratic house is elected. It will simply mean a deadlock on legislation, and the less legislation we get the better w?' will like it. We would enjoy a rest for two .'ears. Besides, it will do the Republicans good to get a licking 1 I'? ? 1 f| 1 O '* ctlHl 111 <1 rv.* u.-> !i>ivii{ici in io?w. The lt<*pnbliciin managers groan when they hear statements such an tliia. They realize they are 'uii against if for fair. The roseate Democratic prospects in New York and New Jersey are reflected in Connecticut, and the Democrats are working in the Nutmeg state as they haven't worked t'n years. Not since ltiSL' have the Democrats elected a governor in Connecticut, but they feel that it is coming th?'ir way this time. They have a very strong candidate in Judge Simon E. Haldwin, of New Haven, a man of high character ant clean record. The Republican plur ality of 15.000 which the late Go> IJlley received is rather staggering vj&en they get down to figures, bin ?)icy comfort themselves with tin thought, that all figures fall in land slides, and they believe this is th< year ot mnusuaes.

Young Fischer was returning from an errand for his mother about dusk. As he turned from one hundred and third street iuto Madison avenue, he saw Greenwald and the unidentified man engaged in heated argument. The frightened boy attempted to pass I betwetu them when the unknown man grasped him and held him before his face just as the former prize fighter whipped out a pistol and fired. The bullet entered the boy's head | and the unknown coward dropped | him and fieri. See inc his mistake. Greenwald, still with the revolver in his haud, broke and ran.

Judge Packer Says Roosevelt Will Try a Coup if His Ticket Wins in New York. At St. Louis Roosevelt denounced the Denioratic party iu New York as an "unholy alliance between \Va 1 j street and Tammany Hall" in a speech the other night and attacked the Democratic party in Missouri by calling it the "party that represents the special interests and spec.il privileges." Roosevelt also defended the present position of the Republican party in regard to the tariff. It was Roosevelt's first speecti in the presen: campaign. Tlie Colliseum was crowjed to the doors with a crowd which cheered him frequently. He began his speech by commanding Gov. 11 <1 dlev as "an upviglit and fearless public servant" and say ing tnai tne ngnt in Missouri is similar to that being made in New York "In New York there are opponents who call themsolfes the Democracy," said Col. Roosevelt. "They have the very slenderest relation to any historical party bearing that name. For in New York what call6 itself Democracy con sists in reality of an unholy alliance between Wall street and Tammany Hall. It is enough to make Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee, and Tom Benton, of Missouri, turn 1 in their graves to realize wtutt the organizations are that claim to be ( their spiritual heirs and repersentatives at this present day. "And as it is in New York, 60 it j is here in Missouri; the genuine party of the people, the party that stands for popular rights, that stands ' for all the people, it the Republi- 1 can party, and the party of reaction and of bonrbonism. the party that \ represents trie special interests ana special interests, is the party that arrogates to itself, forsooth the name of the Democracy. "In New York the special interests, is a'l of the powers that hope to keep or 'o acquire privileges to which they are not entitled, have gone with our antagonists, because ;hey feel, quite pro.?erly. that in I heir ranks is the place lor eve?y man who believes in either crooked business or crooked politics, and especially in the aliianoe b-stween crooked business and crcoked politics." Alton B. Parker has giv?n on' ;m interview at his home in New Yorkoil the S'ate campaign and Theodore ftoosevelt. He said in part: "I am informed that Mr. Roosevelt has been auvis?-d by his friends that in this State the tide set in so strongly against his New Nationalism with himself as the steward of the public welfare in 1912 anu thence on for the balance of his life, that be can only hope to save the situation for himself ami his tick-n iv announcement that he wont be a candidate in 1912 and further he has arrppri to make such a statement within the next two or three days, t "There can be no doubt of the ( fact of his candidacy in the ni'nd i of any man who has witched nis I course, carefully read his speeches, c and noted his almost brutal tr? at- I ,?ieui oi' President Tuft.

Judge Parker has been criticising Roosevelt's recent utterances wit a ; onsiderable severity, especially iiis \ references to the judiiciary of the country.

A few days after the 1 Roosevelt convention at Saratoga had lone its master's bidding. Charles' 1 4. Young, former president of the { Republican club in New York, an lounced publicly his determination. 1 lfter 27 years of party regularity, 1 :o vote the Democratic ticket. 5 A few days later it became known 1 hat out of a group of 28 regular I Republicans at the Union League ' ;lub, 25 declared that they would < rote the Democratic ticket this year, < tecause of Roosevelt's domination of s he Republican situation. It is now ' itated that large numbers of other { ife long Republicans are following* i he example of these early bolters. : and have determined to vote the i Democratic ticket this year ior uiei' first time in their lives. The reason, of course, is !he spec-i re of Rooseveltism that stands be-1 liind Henry L. Stimson, the Repub-] , lican candidate. In fact, there is little opposition to Stimson amon? the Republicans, but many of them believe, like .Judge Parker, that the time to put Rooseveltism out of bus-, ? iness once for all is now. The gossip in New York political circles has been for several days that 1 Ueorge R.

Life imprisonment in the penitentiary is declared by Judge Marcus Kavanaugh, of Chicago, to b'i a more terrible punishment than hanging. The jurist, in a remarkable opinion handed down in sentencing Josopn Welcome to life imprisonment for murder, contrasted death with the tortured soul of a life convict in his solitary cell and told the prisoner that it is not correct to regard the death penalty as the most severe punishment that can be inflicted. Welcome pleaded guilty to having murdered Mrs. Mary McLean, March 22, 1JH 0 in a boarding house she conducted. The prisoner changed his plea from "not guilty" aflv sight jurors were chosen. It was >hown that he forced his wife to be;ome a "white slave" and shot hf>r for refusing to give him money. Mrs. McLean was shot and killed while attempting to save Mrs. Wei:ome. In sentencing Welcome Judge Xavanaugh said: "Welcome, you lave committed a terrible crime. Sfour punishment is to be more terrible still. The instinctive, unrea?oning horror of mankind regards ;he death sentence as a severe punshment. This idea is not correct. iTou are now to receive a sterner Dunlshment. Your victim died but >nce.

I do not insist that the farmer hold > cotton where his debts are of a ry pressing nature, and where he i liquidate them in no other way in by disposing of his product, t I do desire to impress upon his nd. the desirability, in justice to nself and his family, of making honest effort to borrow sufficient >ney to tide over his immediate ligations, to the end of keeping i cotton well in liaud until the irket responds to the bona fide lue of the staple. In a great many town in the south /, have made this possible through r warehouse system. Bach year i system makes greater strides ri enables us to extend accomniotion to a larger number of memru. 1 look eventually for a system of nded warehouses, under control of r people, to so permeate the cot1 belt that the smallest as well the largest farmer will be enabled hold his cotton without prejudice his pressing obligations. We have ind, in several states, that where ; staple is placed in a warehouse jperly secured, there is little difulty in borrowing upon it all the lergency money needed for its ners. Where* farmers cannot have acss to one of these warehouses or lere conditions are such that they d it impracticable to obtain loans their product, I advise that they 1 as little of the staple as possi>?just enough to pay off the debts it may be pressing for settlement, e remainder should be held, un'il uh time as it can be disposed of a figure in harmony with its worth civilization. You can be very sure of the fact at if you do not secure the price ur cotton really is wprth, some ler factor will do so. Most likely will be the speculator, and if aot e speculator it will be the mill, d if not the mill, then the middlein between the mills and the uluate consumer. You will save nothing to the world sacrificing the cotton you have ought forth with so much effort d application. But you will lose good deal to yourself, your family d to the south. I urge that at this particular sean. while the necessity of marketing tton in a scientific instead of a phazard way, is clearly shown to ur intelligence, thar you take steps encourage the organization everyiere of the warehouse system. This is a feature of co-operation the work of the Farmer's union lich is bound to return a most inmtaneous harvest. It also prents to the farmrr that first lesson business which he must learn in latever walk of life situated. (Signed) Charles S. Barrett. Nearly Proves Fatal.
