He most lives ; Who thinks most, feels the noblest,acts the best." \ THURSDAY. OCT. 24.1912. Be Not Deceived. o v Tiu- ''Bull Moose'* party has put out a full electoral ticket in South t ... Carolina, which is reason enough that every true Democrat should go ~ / to the jx?lls on Xoveml>er 5 and cast his vote for Democratic electors. South Carolina l>ears the reputation of l?eiiig perhaps the most roekril?l?e<l stronghold of Democracy in the I'nion and our grand old State should not depart from her tradi. tiens. The "Bull Mouse'' proselyters blatanth* boast that the new party i has eliminated the negro as a polit-1 ical factor. That is the claim they set up at the South, where the lie- j gro as a political asset is of doubtful or negative vrlue. But at the North i 4 4 the Bull Mouses'' not only recognize the- negro politically, hut so assiduously cultivate his support that the sable ".Mouses" are encouraged to make lolder demands than they have ever dared to make, perhaps, <?f any other political party. Read the following paragraphs, clipped from a negro paper, and compare them with the campaign literature that is being sent out by Sherwood Dunn A* Co.: Over twenty colored men were delegates to the recent State Bull Moose convention which met at Syr- [ acuse and nominated Hon Oscar Si Straus for Governor of New York. 1 The colored delegates took an active part in the proceedings of the convention. Several colored delegates '.oude speeches, and one of them i seconded the nomination of Straus for Governor. Through^ the influence of the colored delegates two important planks affecting the colored people were put into the platform. One plank put the party on record as denouncing race discrimination in wifes and places of public x amusement, while the other plank favors the enlistment of a colored regiment in the National Guards in i the State of New York. * * * ?- - ^ .s w.?. it a rtvcin iiKviuig vi niv .u ii York Progressive State committee the following named gentlemen were elected as member- of that l?ody: John R CIlml, New York countv; H L Scott, Eric; Rev \Y H Byrd, Monroe, and l)r C P McBlenden, Westcitester. All of them are negyees. This is the largest representation that the colored people of New York ever had on the State committee of a political party. For over twenty years there has been hut one colored man 011 the Republican State committee. It seems that Peeples is the thoice of the people. \ ?! .1 liitoia" A new paper to he published at Bennettsville is named "The Progressive. Sounds kind of "Bull Mousey." The four counties, Colleton, : lieaufort, Berkeley and .Jasper, J have contributed jointly and sev-i erally ?">1 10 to the Woodrow Wilson fund, the baby county tailing the procession with three, dollars. .. . i The Bull Mouses' claim that j every candidate named on their1 electoral ticket in this State is a! former Democrat. This may l>e true, but their defection will not' wholly demoralize the remainder [ of the 'Tnter rifled," we think.! = "I feel as lively as a hull dog," quoth Mr/Roosevelt at the hospital when his tongue was allowed free play. A hull frog would have been a better simile for several reasons, since Colonel must always compare himself to some kind of hull. There is a constitutional amendment to l>e voted on at the ensuing election looking to bonding the Shite for one million dollars for the Hospital for the Insane. In our judgment this is an unwarranted extravagance. Better bury the amendment so deep that it will never he resurrected. i Now it is l>eing said that the attempted assassination of Roosevelt will mean a tidal wave of sympathy that will sweep him into office. It seems that the only chance for Wilson and Taft is to induce some one to shoot at them l>etween now and the election. Blank cartridges will do, or a wax bullet with a little blood smeared over it? anyi thing to excite the emotion of an hysterical nation. I ============ Weldon B Heyburn, United! States Senator from Idaho, died in Washington Thursday of last week. Senator Hey burn's chief bid to fame (?) was his irreconcilable hatred for the South and everv-1 i thing Southern. His fulminat on? in the Senate chamber of late ' years had degenerated into farcical. performances, so that ofttimes even his own partisians were ashamed i of him.

COULD HAVE CARRIED OHIO I l But Big Bull Moose Took to the Vermont Woods?Noted Woman Exposes His Change of Front. By IDA HUSTED HARPER, j The Progressive party had its first opportunity to stow its loyalty to the . woman suJtrage plank In its platform when the vote \yas takefi in Ohio on a , new constitution. Forty-two amendments were on the ballot, and all were adopted except the one for woman suffrage! Ohio is one of the "banner" Progressive states, and Mr. Roosevelt expects to secure its electoral vote. In order to do this a plurality of the electors must be Progressives, and tbey could therefore have easily carried the suffrage amendment if all the others had voted against It, as the vote on the constitution was "very light, only a few hundred thousand out of more TM A tftan a million wno were eiigiuio. um he Issue any orders to this effect? Did he say to his followers: "Now, here is our first chance to show the women that we mean business. Of course If we win in November we will give the franchise to all In the United States, but Just now we can make good by giving It to those In Ohio, so let every Progressive vote for the woman suffrage amendment?" Did he do this? On the contrary, he completely ignored the matter, although he passed through Ohio *he very day of the election. A few days before, at St. Johnsbury, Vt, Mr. Roosevelt had devoted a large part of his speech to showing how strongly he believed in the ballot for women and how anxious he was for them to get it. The question was not an issue there or likely to be, but It was a vital issue in Ohio, to be settled in four days, and yet not by spoken or written word did he show to the people\of Ohio that he knew of lta ex istence. Two days after the Progressive party in Ohio permitted the defeat of this amendment its state convention met If any women were elected delegates the press dispatches failed to mention it, and in the platform a woman suffrage plank was conspicuous by its absent. "The Progressive party pledges Itself to the task of securing equal suffrage to men and women alike," says its national platform, and Ohio has Just given the llrst example of the way it apparently means to keep that pledge. In Mr Roosevelt's second term the j suffragists determined to make every possible effort to secure an indorse i ment from mm. as miss susan a. I Anthony's most eloquent letters to j him received no answer, she went In , person to see him In November, 1905, I Just four months before her death, j With all her powers of persuasion she pleaded vith him to recommend In his forthcoming message some recognition of woman's claim to a voice in the government. Laying her hand on his arm. she looked up Into his face and said, "I beg of you to be the emancipator of woman as Lincoln was the emancipator of the slave." He was not resembling Lincoln so much In those days as he is at present, and he remained totally unmoved by her appeals. Scant Courtesy at White House. Shortly before he left the White House several officers of the National Suffrage association, realizing his great influence on public opinion, made one last effort to .have him speak a favorable word. He came into the outside lobby of the executive office. required them to state their business before the crowd Waiting to see him and would hardly give them a : chance to speak, but kept saying, "Go and get another state." He shrugged J his shoulders and turned on his heel, j and then they said. "If we will get up a petition of a million names will that Influence yt>u"No." he replied, "not one particle." That was in 1909. The next year a j letter from him was read at an anti; suffrage meeting in the Berkeley theater, New York, in which he said: "I am very tepid on woman suffrage." The cause of woman's enfranchisement has no more implacable enemy : than the Outlook, and Mr. Roosevelt is on the editorial staff Last February he had in that magazine a tencolumn article entitled "Woman's Rights." but the only right considered was that of the suffrage. The article was such an excellent exposition of the attitude of women who do not : wish to vote that the Anti-suffrage as i soelation ordered copies for distribution. In this article he said again, "In our western states where the suffrage has been granted to women I am unable to see that any great dlfference has been caused as compared with neighboring states." And yet Just four months after this publication, when Mr. Roosevelt had definitely decided to make the contest for the presidential nomination, all his scruples about forcing suffrage on a hostile and Indifferent majority vanished in thin air because a million and a half already had votes and the colonel wanted them, and he knew they wouldn't stand for any nonsense about a referendum. 11 The Phoenix Furniture Store is t I Establishment in Charleston;cartvin \ ture for the parlor, dining-room, ' j kitchen; all ready for prompt shipm j church and school furniture.
