MK. UOK.MAN'S SPEECH. j
Said to bo tlie lifgiiiiiiiig of lMau
to Make Kaco Problem an Issue
Next Year.
Washington, D. O., October
25.?Special: Senator Gorman's
speech in Maryland yesterday, in
which ho so seriously attacked
President Rorsevelt 011 the negro
question, is now regarded by
the leaders of both parties
in Washington D. C , as a
peacemaker for tho Democratic
national campaign next, year.
President Roosevelt's closest personal
and political friends regard
it as the beginning of the execution
of a plan to make the race
problem a great issue against the
Republicans in the Presidential
election. Democrats, too, accept
Mr. Gorman's attack with no at
tempt to conceal their delight
and all appear to welcome the
issue. A
It ievelops to-day that it, is a
well determined plan on the part
of national Democrats to force
the race issue to the front, not
alone in the South and the close
Slates of Maryladd, Delaware,
New Jersey and West Virginia,
hut. also in the larger cities ol
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa,
where, they think, it is possible
to stir up the foreign-born voters
on the negro question. They also
argue that it there is any doubt
about Kentucky and Missouri,
the race issue will make those
States sureiy Democratic.
It is not the intention to brind
the question prominently forwarg
in the Democratic platform, but
to hammer it home on every
Democratic stunm. Rpi.nhlirvmu
here take the view, judging Ir'tm
the personalities in Senator Gor
man's speech, that the Democrats
to make this part of their campaign
directly personal to Mr.
Roosevelt himself, and, whereever
it is possible, to emphasize
tho Hooker Washington dinner
incident and the Crum appointment,with
"a white man's govern
ment for the white man," the
campaign cry from one end ol
the country to the other.
Senator Gorman, as the leader
of his party in Congress, will
lose 110 onnortnnitv flnrintr t tw> I
coming session to develop the issue
and campaign material is expected
out ol renewed discussion
of the (Jrum case and the Indian
ola pofctoflice.
I in* election in Maryland is
looked upon by both parlies as
an important test of the negro
question as a campaign issue.
It will be the first expression by
ino pooplo of that state 011 the !
restricting legislation now in J
force there, wherein the educa j
tional tost bars many negroes
from the privileges of the hallo*. '
Senator Gorman's speech is
regarded as staking almost tho|
entire election in Maryland on
this one question alone. It is
known that he looks upon the
result as very important to his
party and his friends regard it

voir, it is tnought here that the
election will go a long wavs to
warcl establishing Mr Gorman
as > the probable Democratic
nominee next year.
A rather humorous incident
at the meeting whi^h Senator
German addre-sed shows the
temper of Democratic gatherings
on this question Immediately
following the senator's
speech, in which he made very
prominent Hooker Washington
as a guest in lite White House,
an entertainer appeared on the
stago and sang, "1 Clot a White J
Man Working for Me." The song
aroused not only great
amusement, but enthusiasm as
well, and brought forth cheers

It A KK INSTANCE OF HO.UE
LIFE.
Special to The Slate.
Greenville, Oct. 16?Ono of
the most remarkable instances
of domesticity lias come to light
by the visit of Mrs Mary Poole
of Locust to relatives in this _ N i
city during the present week.
She is in the 80th year of her
age, and has not been in Greenville
since she was a young
lady, 18 years old and unniar
ried Mrs Poole was a niece
of tho late John L. Westmoreland,
and her family connection
is quite extensive Her oppor
tunities for coming to the city
have been excellent all of her
life. but she dill not emv> '
leave homo, and in these more
than fie years since she saw
** t* 4K
Greenville there have been
many wonderful changes. She
was never on a railroad train
in her life, and of course never
saw a trolley car, which she refused
to ride on at first, hut afterwards
said it was the finest
riding she had ever known.
Mrs Poole lives with her son
in law, William Huff, and came
to the cit}' with another son in
law, David J. Loftis, to make a
visit to still another son in-law,
John R Childress, and his
family This is an exceptional
case in many respects, and it is
doubtful whether another person
of four score years can be
found in the county who has
not visited the court house in 60
years.
