'' J The language that Roosevelt will 'use when he receives the news of Bryan's election will hardly be sought riftef for rpublication , by editprs of Sunday School newspapers. ' The Democratic labor plank is "vague and hazy," according to Roose velt. All the same, the laboring class prefers it to 'the Republican, and is going to support the fcandidate who stands on it. If the President does not succeed In throwing off the restraint now put upon him by cooler heads and making at leastone political speech before election day we will be greatly sur prised. ; If the National banks voluntarily subscribe to a fund to protect their customers against burglars and forg ers, why should they be opposed to do ing the same .to protect them against dishonest "bank officials? As all the Cabinet officers will be out campaigning next week. Roose velt will be complete master of the situation in . Washington official cir cles. Then will be his chance to throw off the lid and rush into speech making before he can be headed off- It is generally supposed that no can didate can be elected' on the National ticket unless he carries New . York State. It is possible for this not to hold good this year, if the Democratic managers estimate of Bryan's strength in the West holds good. , Roosevelt Continues to help the Bryan cause by his .letters of attack on the DemocratilG candidate and oth ers of that party. If he could be got ten on the stump two or three times there is no telling how many votes he would make for our candidate.

REPORTS FROM. PRECINCTS Nearly a Thousand Mqre Than Votes Cast in Late Prohibition Election W,hlch Was Taken as a Basis. ' ; The close of the books yesterday at sunset in the various wards, precincts and .townships in tha county, finds nearly four thousand names of persons properly registered and qualified to vote in the general election to be held throiighout the Stafca and Nation next Tuesday week. Yesterday was the last day for reg istrations and the various registrars were at the polling places- and found theidselyes overrun With work, nearly everyone- reporting that more names were recorded- on" the last day than during, "all the previous days of regis tration. There were many who desir ed oibt to register' but who wanted to see that their names were properly entered, while many others, having removed to other wards, or townshigs, desired1 .to be transferred. Still others availed themselves of the last oppor tunity to register under the grandfa ther clause of the ' "constitutional amendment ; thereby Qualifying them selves with; the right to register at each succeeding election for life. The registration, to be more exact, as received approximately last night by the f Star from all wards and pre cincts is. 3,911. The registration books for the prohibition election last May were taken as a basis and fh'e-imber of names. rexjorded thqn was some thing over 3,000 with 2,855 votes ac tually ;rasf in the ejection. If the same vrpportipn can. bef polled now in the generalT?electio4,fC!hairman Fur long and other local Democratic lead ers will be satisfied. The returns re ceived last night from the various wards audi precincts are as follows: First"' Ward:- , . . iTLs, .'-650 Second Ward . 570 Third Ward 700 Fourth Ward 640 Fifth Ward , 850 Delgado 224 Seven Mite Post 94 Cape Fear Township , :.. 80 Masohboro 85 Federal Point 18 ..-Total... . 3,911 All the effort will now be concentrat ed by the Democratic leaders in get ting the vote out on election day. This is especially desirable in order that the county may get her proper repre sentation in nominating conventions and ultimately upon a re-apportionment, another representative in the Legislature. This is very important and x voters themselves . are charge'd with the responsibility of seeing that they vote not only themselves, but that they induce a friend to do like wise : r The campaign here this week will be waged with no flagging interest be cause of the close of the registration. Thoug'p nothing definite had been heard last night, Chairman Furlong still has hopes that Hon. T. W. Bickett can be induced to speak in Wilming ton on Monday x night while passing through here on nis way to Salemburg, Sampson county, from Burgaw. Hon. W. .M. Tye, a well known labor lead er, . an interesting speaker and a man of deep convictions on Tuesday night will speak in the; Court House on the "Relation of Labor to the Democratic Party." Wbrkingmen especially are invited to hear him. It was learned yesterday that the appointment - of Republican Nomine e Cox and Republican Elector Settle for this city was a mistake and that Wil liamston, N. C, will get the date. They were billed through error to speak here on 'Wednesday night.. Mr. Bickett at Burgaw. V A long distance telephone message last night from Burgaw was to the effect that great preparations are. be ing made If or tba Democratic rally there on Monday when people from all parts of the county are expected. Mr. Bickett is without a doubt the peer of any speaker in the State and is espe cially effective on the stump. Lunch and barbecue willbe. served oh the Court House green" and the fine Ital ian band' of 14 pieces trom St; Helena will furnish inspiring music.

The Univer sity of Pennsylvania and the Carlisle Indian football teams played each oth er to a standstill this afternoon the final score being 6 to e The biggest crowd that was ever present saw the annual game between these team 10,000. Pennsylvania scored the first touch down before the game was ten minutes old. The Indians v reversed this in "the seebnd half .when they scored as quickly. TThe red men' gained the more ground and should have scored either an addition al touchdown or' a freld goal. Pennsylvania scored her only touch down by carrying the ball from mid fieid and over the Jhdian line in four plays. Quarterback Miller wenM around the Indians' end for ten yards Mnier took the ball ovar the line in two plays. Scarlett kicked the goal. In the second half Balenti ran back one of Hollenack's puntsfor 25 ;yards to the Quackers' 40 yard line.

He got byaU the Pennsylvania- backs . but Reagan, ; who; caught up with the flying- Indian on the 5-yard line. Thorpe literally threw himself over the line; and then kicked a difficult goal, tieing the score. For the remainder of the half the Pennsylvania team was on the defen sive. Princeton, N. J., Oct. 24. A score less game was the outcome of a des perate encounter this afternoon be tween 1 Princeton and Syracuse. Sur prised at the -outset by the appear ance,, of an eleven- which was superi or in weight and attack, Princeton was lucky to escape defeat. Syracuse threatened , repeatedly . to v cross, the Princeton goal line while the only op portunity for a Princeton score came in ..the", first Tew minutes of play when Cunningham dropped back for a try at goal from the field from the 30-yard line. The pass was high and his kick fell short of the posts. - ; Annapolis, Oct. 24.

IN SAMPSON SUPERIOR COURT Defaulting Republican Official Said Now to be in This Section Dep uty Clerk Reported Mis sing Now. With the arrival in the city" yester day of Solicitor Rodolph Duffy, Judge C, C. Lyon and several attorneys on their way from Onslow court during the .past week to Clinton, N. C, where Sampson Superior Court will convene tomorrow, a well defined rumor be came afloat that A. W. Aman, the de faulting Republican ex-sheriff of Sampson, had returned to North Caro- -lina- and is now awaiting an opportun ity of giving himself up to the author ities of his county. It will be recalled that the Repub lican, ex-sheriff fled the State about two years ago when a shortage of something like $20,000 was found in his accounts and that though aggre gate rewards of $400 were offered by the Governor and others for his cap ture, he has since remained at large. The rumor yesterday was that Aman, tired of roving around the country and his enforced absence from' his wife and three children in Sampson, had written to his attorney. H. A. j Grady, Esq., of Clinton, and that a meeting had been agreed upon be tween the two as a result of which Aman had decided to come in and take his medicine. Mr. Grady was in the city last Saturday and it is stated that the conference with his client was here or that he was in Wilming ton on his return from the conference elsewhere. An attorney in the city last night who spent most of the past week; in Clinton says that it is an open secret in Sampson that Aman is now in the State and that upon the con vening of court Monday or on Tues day, the ex-sheriff would be delivered to the court and an effort would be made to arrange bond for him in an amount that he will be able to give. When the Indictment was returned f &m!e time ago, it is understood-that the courfffixed the bond at $10,000 but , it is understood that; the court in ees- sion at this term may reduce that .f amount, hence the purpose . in post-J; poning the surrender until this term: Just where Aman is in hiding is not known but it is freely stated in Clin ton that he will give himself up this week and stand trial for his defalca tions. It is also hinted that some oth er Republicans high in the councils of their party in Sampson are rather perturbed about some disclosures that Aman may make in confessing all and throwing himself on the mercy of the court. An effort was made last night to get Mr. Grady, his counsel, by long distance telephone but the central of-' flee at Clinton stated that Mr. Grady was out of the city and would not re turn during the night. The . rumjors are so well defined and with an evi dent stamp of authority that make them exceedingly Interesting and the convening of court Monday at Clin ton will be awaited- with unusual in terest. There was another interesting re port from Clinton in the same connec tion. Deputy Clerk of the Court Crumpler, Republican, at the last term of the court was indicted on a charge of forging a witness ticket. The report, yesterday was to the effect that other disclosures had also been made in this same connection and that the ex-deputy had also left the State. It is stated that as many as I. 60 forgeries are charged - against him and that he took his departure last. Sunday about the same time as the home-coming of ex-Sheriff Aman was announced.' If Crumpler appears, he wilL be tried at the present session of the court. USED STICK WITH FORCE. Struck Husband in Head and Inflicted Painful Wound. Zimmerman Williams, who lives at 13th and Wooster streets, after hav ing an altercation with nis wife, in which - she dealt him a blow with a stick, inflicting a painful wound, ap-v peared in Justice Bornemann's ..court and secured a warrant for her arrest.
