NEWS. on IT POLITICAL U L .m s a Big Fight and Very Inter esting to Charlotte Because a Charlotte Man is One of The Central Figures, Mr. James W. Osborne. Tie Newspapers of New York Have Formed a "Jerome Trust" And are Carrying on a Cruel .Warfare Against Mr. Osborne. A Graphic Story ot Big Fight : .1 to The Xews. w York, Nov. 4. The great battle ( . he political forces of New York is wins to a close. Tuesday next is the . . :.;:'ul day of ballots; the day that ii los "who's who" in the political of the great metropolis. I: is a great fight one of unparal interest, and gigantic effort on the I ;.; t oi Tammany, Hearst and Jerome. The Republicans are performing the ! . :a.Ioxical feat of running and stand ing still. They are not in it at all. lvins "'prehistoric fassil of the past" r i The Hon. Bourke Cochran called him ;a Tammany Hall fast night is a .luimny. But the issue between Mc Clellrai and Hearst, and Osborne and J. iome is as alive as a live wire of .'" degree voltage. All city elections in New York are interesting. There is no lack of color to ai:y of them. But the present one is cf unique interest to Charlotte be cause one of -her brainest and ablest sons, the Hon. James W. Osborne, is, next to McClellan, the most conspicu ous figure on the Democratic ticket, and second to none, in interest, in the f.Lihe campaign. Large lithrographs of Mr. Osborne are seen every where; his name in large letters is on the bill hoard: small cards with his picture ;nd this wording "Vote for James W. Osborne. His record for honesty and efficiency are above question" are on every door step. A Charlotte "boy" is the nominee of the great Democracy of Greater New York for one of the greatest offices in the gift of the peo ple: the District . Attorneyship. The press of the city is against him because he is a Tammany man. His integrity, his ability, his efficiency, his cleanness of character have not, even in the hot test political fight known here in years, been questioned. And he is undoubt edly popular. Whenever and where ever he speaks he is, greeted with marked enthusiasm. All his political detractors have against him is that he is not on their side; that he is against, by reason of his nomination, the "only great and good man in the world" ac cording to Jerome's opinion of himself and according to Osborne's voicing of Whenever the press of this city is against a manor an issue, or a man as representing an issue, it does not hesitate to stoop to conquer,. In other words, to distort facts; to misquote a man; to create thought for one man; to destroy the thought and prevent the wording of another. The press,, it seems has organized a Jerome trust, in its zeal to make Jerome and unmake Osborne, it has been cruelly almost criminally, unfair to Mr. Os borne. They like "him personally and admire his ability but he is a Tam many man and therefore must be put down. Under the head "Sanieful . Tactics," The New York Daily News, "a news paper working to hasten the certain triumph of true- Democratic princi ples, savs: The shameful attempt to injure James Y. Osborne by misquoting him has had a boomerang effect upon the fortunes of Jerome. The people of New York have a weakness for shrewd men, but they don't care for unfair ones. Mr. Jerome" and his supporters"have been almost criminally unfair in their tac tics agains James W. Osborne. " The public is aware of the tact tnat the wolves of slander and misrepre sentation have been unleashed against Mr. Osborne, and they will resent the act at the polls in the most striking v.-ay known to modern politics. Mr. Osborne will win, and he will have the honor of winning with a clean con science, in the knowledge that he has done nothing unfair, offensive or dis reputable to get an advantage over his opponent." Mr. Osborne is somewhat handicap pod by a weak throat. He has had a se vere attack of tonsilitis, contracted by open air speaking, but he always has voice enough to ask, in dealing with lerome's great promises seriatim, "Did he make good?" the offset to Jerome's "Where did he get it?" The difference between Jerome and Osborne is that Jerome talks; Osborne acts. When they were in office together Jerome talked; Osborne acted. Nearly all of the important murder cases were, as signed to Osborne to conduct. Jerome did the spieling on the outside. Mr. Osborne struck the right note in revealing the fact that Jerome's monied backers are prominent mem bers of the insurance companies that have been so conspicuously and un pleasantly before the public lately. The Globe and Commercial Adverti ser of October 30th, has this: "James W. Osborne, Tammany can didate for district attorney, this af ternoon issued a reply to Mr. Jerome's (Continued on Page 2.)

' A WHISKEY CASE J. V. Hasty Charged Bound Over For Selling Whiskey. Jim Hampton Charged With Per jury in Connection Withthe , Sales of Liquor by Hasty. The main feature of the Recorder's court this morning was a whiskey case in which J. V. Hasty was charged with retailing. : - The first witness called was Jim Hampton. After' taking the oath the Recorder asked him just three ques tions, all of which concerned his knowledge of the alleged sales. : A negative answer was; given in each case, consuming 'not" more than tww minutes' time. Scarcely had he said "No" to the last question when the Recorder ordered him to take his seat "over there," pointing to the prison er's bench. Hampton was in the act of taking his seat on the first bench, which is generally occupied by police men not on duty and newspaper re porters, when the Recorder made his orders, more main bv telling him "the second bench." This move on the part of the Re corder meant something and nearly every one in the court room knew. However, nothing was said at the time and the next witness was called. Ed McGinn was asked practically same questions that had been asked Hampton not more than three minutes before. He, too, knew nothing of the alleged sale of whiskey. . ' "Take your seat over there with Hampton." " , ; There was one other witness. The Recorder started out by asking him the same questions and to the first orie the witness said: "Well, I don't know that I-care to answer that question." He was given to understand that his refusal to do so meant "take your seat over there." From the testimony of the last wit ness it developed that Hampton,Vance Arant, who was not present, and him self had" each "chipped in" and given Hasty one dollar, it being understood that a good quart of whiskey would be forthcomine in -a few minutes. The whiskey did come, but the witness did not know from where. It was dis posed of at- Oglesby's stable, on East Trade street; and niat's as far as the Recorder investigated, owing to he absence of another important witness. The case was continued until Monday morning, Hasty being required to give a $300 bond for his appearance at court at that time, When the Recorder ordered - that Hasty be required to give the bond, he did not forget Hamptos, who had been sitting "over there'' in breathless silence.- He gave orders that Hampton be placed "under a $500 bond for his appearance at court Monday morning! It was hardly necessary to explain why the $500 bond wis required, but it was explained. He: was guilty of perjury, a more serious crime in the eyes of the law than selling a small quanity of liquor." After court adjourned - Hampton asked, to be. allowed to tell what he knew, saying that, he did not un derstand the questions of the Record er, 'the Recorder allowed him to do, so as he seemed to be asking in good faith. 'The case will come up for furth er investigation Monday morning. . Other cases before the Recorder were of a trivial nature. Luther Good man and Ulysses Godman were charg- led with an affray.; The costs and a lec ture were imposed on,!. Goodman, who seemed to be at fault. , Col. Jim Steele was. charged with be ing drunk. After all the evidence was in he asked the court to let him off light, saying that he would promise not to be in court again - during the next 12 months on a similar charge.
