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

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

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.

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.

A new paper to he published
at Bennettsville is named "The

"Bull Mousey."

lieaufort, Berkeley and .Jasper, J

The Bull Mouses' claim that j
every candidate named on their1
electoral ticket in this State is a!

true, but their defection will not'
wholly demoralize the remainder [

"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.

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.
