The Democratic State Executive
Committee will meet in Raleigh
again to-night and fix it so that the
record of some Democrats may be
whitewashed on election day in order
that they may vote in the Senatorial
primary.
If the Democrats are not going to
stand on their platform, the next
time they write one they should cou
ple with It an announcement stating:
"This is the platform we have adopt
ed, but we don't believe In it and do
not propose to stand on it."
The Durham Herald doesn't think
that Mr. Craig will put a single trust
out of business, if elected Governor.
And just think, the News and Ob
server, which claims that it wants
all the trust bursted wide open, is
supporting Craig for Governor!
The Democratic papers would have
the public believe that Colonel Roose
velt is losing strength in his fight.
But if you will notice those same
Democratic papers are using columns
abusing Roosevelt, which shows they
sre very much afraid of his strength.
At a meeting of Y. M. C. A. mem
hers at Goldsboro, Pa., a few days 1
ago, a poll of those present showed
that all were for Roosevelt except
one man, who intended to vote for
Wilson. Which is further proof that
nearly all the good ones are for
Hoosevelt.

Collier told to-night about the break,
and then read the editorial, which,
he said, was written by himself when
the news was received that an assas

of the highly tempered, hasty and not
always reasonable nation which Be-
lected him to govern it.
" 'No man probably could have
risen so high in American politics
and emerged as stainless from his
early struggles. No man could have
used his power with a larger moral
usefulness to his whole people. And ;

-It is fortunate that those who

well-being of those about them

the only Americans cynical enough
to disbelieve in the honesty of Theo

minutes of an attempt upon his life:
"Friends, I want to say this
about myself: I have too many
important things to think about
to pay heed or to feel any con

' 'Collier's is not so hypercritical

Mil. WILSON SIDE-STEPS.
Would Not Tell Woman Whether He
Favored Woman Suffrage Woman
Ejected From Hall.
During course of his speech in New
York Saturday night a suffragette in
the audience arose and asked Mr.
Wilson about woman suffrage. Mr.
Wilson side-stepped and declined to
answer the question. Ushers ejected
the lady from the hall.
A press dispatch, giving an ac
count of the affair, says:
"The first interruption came when
Governor Wilson was speaking of the :
control or iegisiaue xorces or a rew. j
! The Democratic party, he said, is try-;
ing to break up this vicious mon
opoly. "At that instance Miss Malone
stood up in the balcony and shouted:
" 'Mr. Wilson, what about women
voting?'
"The great audience turned as one
man to learn whence the interruption
came. Then followed cries of 'Put
her out,' and 'Make her be still.'
"But Mr. Wilson raised his handiwork
for silence and said:
" 'My friends, we have no rieht to
be rude to a woman.'
" 'But Mr. Wilson,' again cried the
feminine orator: 'You said you are
endeavoring to break ip a monopoly. '

"This was vigorously applauded, t
" 'But I am speaking to you as an.

lone, her voice rising almost to a
scream above the shouts from the
dience demanding her election.
"I hope you will not consider it a
discourtesy if I decline to answer!
that question,' said Mr. Wilson.
"Men were standing up in all parts
of the auditorium. Finally Miss Ma-
lone was surrounded and was taken I
by one man by the arm. She turned i
on him angrily and fought him off.
Ushers finally toot hold of Miss Ma

slight incision any time the Colonel
may desire it removed. Mr. Roose
velt's room at the hospital was bank

that some of them be put in the

ing him a speedy recovery have been
received by Colonel Roosevelt, some
of the telegrams coming from the
crown heads of Europe.
Mr. Roosevelt is anxious to make
a half-horu speech at Madison Square

and the doctors say he may make
that speech if he remains quiet in the
meantime and continues to improve.

ry Terrell, who accompanied Colonel
Roosevelt from Chicago, were joined
in New York by Dr. Jos. A.Blake
and Dr. George E. Brewer. After ex-jQf
amining the patient they said the
wound was still wide open, spoke of,
the possibility of infection and added
they were unable to say whether it'hpaHn tnt0ta ,!
would be possible for him to take up;
au-fthe work of the campaign again.
Colonel Roosevelt said when his;
wound had been dressed that there
was no longer the need of constant
supervision of physicians, because he
was "all right. The physicians were
doubtful at first whether he should
be left alone, and it was suggested
that one of their number remain at
Sagamore Hill. But the Colonel in
sisted that it was unnecessary, and
the doctors concluded it would be
wisest to acede to his wishes. They
all went to New York this evening,
and said they would not return until
to-morrow afternoon. Their action
was regarded by Colonel Roosevelt's
friends as an indication of his im
proved condition. ,
The parting injunction of the phy
sicians was that Colonel Roosevelt
must have absolute rest and must see
no one to-day or to-morrow. Mrs.

McCORMICK CREATES SEXSATIOX

Nor Steel Trust Contributed to
Hoosevelfs Campaign.

Charles D. Hilles."
McCormick argued heatedly with
the committee's members when they
declared such statements were inad
missible. "It is difficult for an or
dinary man in the compass of ordi
nary language to compete with the
testimony of character assassination
and liars like Hilles men who by
their falsehoods incite weak minded
men to actual assassination," shout
ed McCormick. This brought out a
storm of protest from Chairman
Clapp and other members. They de
clined to allow McCormick to read
further along this line, but admitted
the statement into the record.
McCormick's statement was inci
dental to his general statement of
the "progressive party's campaign ex
penses in Illinois. During the whole
campaign," McCormick said, "the
,Taft people assiduously circulated the
lie that I am connected with the
harvester trust. I have never owned
and do not own a share of harvester
fctocn. ana ao not exDect to own a
share. McCoombs testified that Cy
rus McCormick contributed to the
Wilson campaign fund. Cyrus and
Harold McCormick and the two Deer
ing brothers represent overwhelming
ly the largest stock in the harvester
company. Both McCormicks are for
Wilson. The Deerings are against
Roosevelt. And yet Hilles and his as
sociates persistently circulate the lie
that the harvester trust SDent laree
