WILSON DEPARTS FROM IIAF.IT
AMI KFI'MFS TO l I.O.NKL
In tin Address at tin? Siiinnior Capital
to l'eitiisjhaiilans the IVeMdeiit
Snyn the Old Guard Is Slill On
Deck and in Charge of the Ho
publican Organization.
Saturday was Pennsylvania Day at
Shadow Lawn More than 5.000 en
thusiastic Democrats, who came in
bpeclal traina from all parts ot the
Keystone State, participated in the
most colorful and noisy demonstra
tion so far staged at the summer
capital.
Shadow Lawn's extensive grounds
were barely large enough to accom
modate within hearing distance of
President Wilson's voice the throngs
who chered Mr. Wilson's utter
ances as he lashed his political op
ponents and enemies.
Attacked Flihu Boot.
The Ponnsylvanians, with banners
flying and bands playing, came ex
pecting to hear a speech full of
"pep" and vigor. And they got just
that. They roared approval when
the President, without mentioning
names, indexed his latest critic,
Elihu Hoot, as one who professed to
"condemn Invisible government,
while in private he had been one of
those who "counselled and aided
and abetted It."
"If you want to know how New
York Is going this time look up the
record of what It did to the Consti
tution," exclaimed the President, re
ferring to the proposed Constitution
for the Empire State, framed by the
convention over which Mr. Koot pre
sided and which was rejected by the
people by a majority of more than
500,000.
Again without mentioning names,
Mr. Wilson singled out Walter E.
Edge of Atlantic City, Republican
nominee for Governor of New Jer
sey, and charged him with being the
candidate of an element in Atlantic
City which "has defied the authori
ties of the State tn the matter of the
obedience to law." In Pennsylvania
as in New Jersey and throughout
the Nation, the President declared,
the Republican bosses, allied with
"Invisible government," are trying
to creep back into power, and "most
impudently."
" A Voice and XothhiK .More."
Cheers interrupted the President
when, after calling Rooselvelt "a
voice and nothing more" and a man
who In the end "either surrendered
to the machine or quit the field," Mr.
Wilson stigmatized Hughes as "the
silent." Bunching T. K. with the Re
publican "Old Guard" bosses, Mr.
Wilson said they never can get rid
of the fundamental uneasiness that
America is in charge of some one
other than themselves."
"The Republicans in the United
States Senate," Mr. Wilson added,
"have been a little uneasy and un
shephered ever since Mark Hanna
and Senator Aldrich passed from the
stage."
"If their leaders believe in the
rights of American citizens, why
don't their followers?" demanded the
President, in excoriating Republican
Congressmen who voted "that Amer
ican citizens have no right to travel
on the high seas."
"If their leaders are so stiff to see
that the Americans get their rights
everywhere, why do these gentlemen
vote that Americans shall get their
rights nowhere?"
Declaring that "Europe is begin
ning to realize that America is saving
herself for greater things to come,"
Mr. Wilson recalled that It has been
said "with cruel emphasis in some
quarters that the people of the United
States do not want to fight about
anything."
"Profoundly False."
This, asserted the President, Is
"profoundly false. Americans, he
added, "want to be sure what they
are fighting about, and they want to
be sure they are fighting for the
things that will bring to the world
justice and peace."
"America always Is willing to fight
for things that are American; she
does not permit herself to be em
broiled, but she does know what it
would be to be challenged. And
when once she is challenged, there Is
not a man in the United States, I
venture to say, so mean, so forgetful
of the great heritage ot this Nation,
that he would not give everything he
possessed, Including life Itself, to
stand by the honor of this Natlou."
"I do not doubt the result," the
President remarked at another stage
of his speech, when referring to the
political outlook, "but there are some
who affect to doubt It."
A. Mitchel Palmer, Democratic
National Committeeman from Penn
sylvania, extended to the President
the greetings of the delegations. A
point was made of the presence of
Alfred J. Lincoln and Richard Lin
coln of Berks county, Pa. Both are
third cousins of the martyred Presi
dent and both declared they proposed
to vote for Mr. Wilson.
Mr. Wilson's See'h.
The President said in part:
"I need not tell you that I am glad
to see you, but let me say that I am
especially glad to Bee you because
there are Pome things which perhaps
rennsylvanlans are more qualified to
tell about than any other people In
the United States. ,
"They are better qualified to testi
fy as to the subtle and intricate
means by which the purposes of the
people are sometimes defeated by
their Government, because I know
how true It Is that the people of
Pennsylvania have again and again
attempted to demonstrate to the rest
of the Union that they believed that
we had come into a new age; that
they believed that this new age re
quired new elements of policy; that
they desired men to lead them who
would lead them to the liht, and not
again drag them Into the subter
tanean passages of private influence.
And therefore I think It will be easi
er to expound this campaign to Pi nn
sylvanlans than to anybody else.
There are a great many things that
you will understand without my put
ting them into words.
"And the same thing is happening
in New Jersey. Six years ago I had
the distinguished pleasure of exhib
iting the Government of New Jersey
to the people of New Jersey, in its
true colors as it lived. I only wish
I had time to exhibit it now that it
lias resurrected itself.
"I was privileged to lead the peo
ple of New Jersey in the direction In
which they had long wanted to go
and in which these gentlemen had
long pretended that they were willing
to lead them, but in a direction in
which thev had never been permit-
led to advance an inch. Dosen't that
sound to you like a familiar story?
In lVinisjhiinia Also.
"And exactly the same thing thnt
is happening in Pennsylvania, the
same thing that they are attempting
in New Jersey, is being attempted
in the Nation at large. I wonder
they suppose that anybody Is de
ceived? You know that the elements
that are now behind the candidates
of the opposition party are exceed
ingly varied, but they ure easy of
analysis.
"The most Interesting element is
that which is most vocal. The rep
resentatives of that element are con
fidently telling us, though none of
them Is a candidate for office, what
the party will do if it is given the
power to do anything. But those who
are nominated for office are carefully
avoiding saying whether they will do
what the vocal element promises. In
other words, they are putting up as
their spokesman of policy those
whom they do not even pretend to
trust with power.
"Therefore, those of us who are In
ducted into the secrets of the craft
know that the talk Is In vain, and
that the real counsels of the party
are in that other element which Is in
absolute control of the organization
of thp party in Congress and out of
it. and whose control has never for a
moment been disturbed, never been
shaken.
"The contest at Chicago four years
ago and the contest nt Chicago this
year were for the control of the
machinery of the party. I don't mean
on the part of the rank and file of
the Progressives, for, my fellow citi
zens, no more earnest and sincere
body of men were ever assembled
than assembled In those two Pro
gressive Conventions at Chicago and
no Blncere and earnest men were
ever more pitifully deceived and be
trayed. "That Familiar Old Guard."
"For, after all, It turned out that
the object was not to lead the Nation
but to control the Republican party,
and any sort of an abject surrender
was offered by those who spoke
though they spoke without authori
ty for them, if they might be admit
ted to control that machinery. And
now, after the smoke has cleared
away, after the atmorphere has yield
ed to the influence of time, we se-.
standing out before us that familiar
Old Guard that has never for a mo
ru nt been disturbed In Its possession
of power or turned asld-s In its ex
ercise of the eotuiol which :t has
used.
"And what I want to call your at
tention to Is that this is not merely
a Presidential campaign. There is
something quite as important as the
choice of a Chief Magistrate. I want
you to remember that the real sources
of action and the real machinery of
obstruction are In Congress, not in
the Presidency.
"Do you suppose that anything
could have been accomplished iu the
last three and a half years if there
had not been a determined and will
ing majority In the Congress. I have
not led these gentlement; I have gone
forward with them. I call your at
tention to the fact that there is no
where recorded a single Wilson vol
icy. Everything that I have asked
that Congress to do was written In
the pledges of the party itself. And
the only power I have exercised is
the power of cooperation, the power
that all men exercise when, insisting
upon the obvious duties of a great
hour, men take heart to do a great
thing."
Four Killed.
Oberlln (Ohio) Dispatch. Oct. 15.

attempted suicide by rutting hU

therefore failed to accomplish his

of the ugly wound which he had in
llicted upon his throat. The latest
report from his bedside is that he
is getting along nicely. Temporary
inanity was the cause of it all.
.Mrs. Adaline Caraway, whose Ill
ness was referred to in our last let

was buried on Saturday at 2 o'clock
in the family grave yard near the
old Caraway homestead. Mrs. Cara

her departure and to extend sympa

His friends will regret to learn
that Dr. J. W. Gale is again suffer
Ing severely from his sore leg. The
sore is of a chronic nature and seems
quite stubborn in yielding to such
treatment as is generally indicated.
e hope, however, that this case will
not prove serious nor of lone stand
ing, as some others which he has un
dergone. Messrs. W. H. nnd J. Carl Mefes
of Pnlmersville and Mr. nnd Mrs. D.
Austin and children of Sincerity
spent Sunday under the oh! parental
roof nt The Lone Oak home. The
dav was one of joy and gladness. The
only thing that marred the day's hap
piness nnd to make a complete re
union of the direct defendants of the
family was the absence of Mrs. V,
H. Meigs nnd her three lovely little
ones who could not be present. We
hope that the next may prove com
plete nnd that we may all be spared
to enjoy numerous more such oc
casions.
Among the other delights of the
day was that a visit of Hev. Joseph
A. Bivens, our one armed war veteran
and veteran preacher. "Uncle" Joe
said that today (Sunday) marked the
50th anniversary of his first sermon,
which was delivered in the Meadow
Branch church. In commemoration
of the event Br. Bivens preached In
the Baptist church today at 11
o'clock. This old father in Zlon has
proven to be a loyal and faithful sol
dler both of his country and cf the
cross of his Savior.
Other kind, sympathetic friends
who called to see us Sunday were:
Messrs. R. L. Womble and Calvin
Nash and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Evans
and children. Thank you my friends
for your kind consideration nnd un
selfish Interest you manifest In us.
Well, this is all the 1 cat news
I can scrape together. No one sent

. Mr. E. E. Marsh who has served
the people as a member of the Board
of Education for nearly eight years
and has resigned and Mr. C. S. Mas-
sey of Waxhaw has been appointed
to fill out his unexpired term.
I'm sure it will not be amiss, and
that I am expressing the feeling of
a great many people in Union county
when I say that Mr. Marsh has given
the people valuable service. For a
number of years Mr. Marsh has been
the efficient chairman of this Board
and he has at all times filled this
Important place with dignity and
splendid ability, and has manifested
at all times a spirit of absolute fair
ness toward all parties. The schools
of Union county are better for his
service. Mr. Marsh resigns on ac
count of his increasing business in
terests.
Mr. Massey is one of the leading
business men of Waxhaw, a man in
terested In education and will no
doubt prove himself a worthy sue
cessor of Mr. Marsh.

Ten Stockmen Killed.
Elmwood (Neb.) Dispatch, Otc. 15.
Ten men were killed and 11 others
seriously injured when a train on the
Burlington Railroad crashed Into the
freight caboose in which they were
riding, 12 miles east of here today.
Five others standing on the rear plat
form of the caboose Jumped to safety.
One man In the caboose coupola was
thrown clear of the wreck and es
caped Injury.
The trains in collision were sec
tlons of a regular stock train. Lack
of lights and warning signals are
given by survivors of the collision as
the cause of the accident .
All of the victims are residents of
Nebraska towns of Western and cen
tral parts of the State, most of them
farmers and stock men.
It is easier to be courageous to
plunge Into danger at some sudden
call of need, than to keep one's
tongue and temper through a single
annoying day.

Auto Kims With Driver Senseless,
Spartanburg Dispatch, Oct 15.
Dr. W. O. Wrightson, one of the
younger physicians of this city, met
with a singular and perhaps very
serious accident here this afternoon
when a pole of the Street Railway
Company at East Main and Oakland
avenue fell across his auto, striking
him unconscious and causing the car
to dash Into the yard of F. T. Can
trell, who resides on the corner.
Doctor Wrighton, in an uncon
scious state, was hurried to the teed-
iey Hospital, where he is under the
care of surgeons.
The surgeons are unable to say at
this time the extent of his Injuries.
The accident would have been more
serious perhaps but for the timely
action of L. W. Jenkins, superinten
dent of the Oakland avenue school,
who witnessed the accident and real
izing the possible havoc from a run
ning car with an unconscious driver
at the wheel, sprang into the seat
and brought it to a stop just as th
forewheels dropped into the flower
house, that had a dept of several
feet.
Mr I'litiin's Suggestion n Good One

which the Monroe Aldermen have the
same Jurisdiction. Gentlemen, please

that they were purchased at this

have never shown such a complete

years as now. We have them in a va
rlety of materials and modes at a

STRONG IX .MIDDLE WEST
The Title Is For W ilson and Dcntc
ciatic ProKiiectM Fncoin anion.
Washington Dispatch to Greensboro
News.
Reports from the great Middle
West States indicate a decisive vic
tory for President Wilson in that sec
tion. Ohio. Indiana, Wisconsin, Mis
souri. Nehiaska, Kansas, and even
Illinois, Michigan and Iowa are In
cluded in the favorable forecasts,
says the Democratic committee.
All indications are, too. that the
President will cany a majority of
the Rocky mountain anil Pacific coast
states. The reports agree that the
tide is swiuning to Wilson because of
growing approval of his record of
substantial achievement in office.
Tiiis gathers ellert, as the campaign
progresses, by contrast with Hughes'
endeavors lo hide the dominant is
sues behind a cloud of words about
minor questions.
In the industrial centers of Ohio,
Illinois and Michigan, the Hughes at
tack on the 8-hour law has solidified
