TEDDY TO APPEAL TO
CONVENTION DIRECT
THE COLONEL IN AN ADDRESS
LAST NIGHT FLAYS NATION-
AL COMMITTEE.
PARTING OF THE WAYS,
DEMOCRACY'S VITALiTEST
Human Rights on the One Side and
on the Other Special
Privileges.
Chicago, June 18.—Colonel Roose-
velt flayed the republican national
committee and gave notice that he
will ask the convention itself to
take up the matter of the contested
delegations in his speech delivered
at the Roosevelt mass meeting held
here Monday night. He will ask,
he announced, that wherever there
have been contests, neither delega-
tion be allowed to vote until the
convention itself shall have deter-
mined which legally is entitled to
hold seats therein.
Colonel Roosevelt further announc-
ed that he believes the Taft forces
are in a minority including the del-
egates given to them by the com-
mittee and stated that he is certain
he has a large majority of the le-
gally elected delegates.
"My friends and fellow citizens:
"I address you aB my fellow re-
publicans, but I also primarily ad-
dress you as fellow Americans, fel-
low citizens, for this has now be-
come much more than an ordinary
party fight. The issue Is both sim-
pler and larger than that involved
in the personality of any man, or
that Involved in any factional, or
In any ordinary party contest We
are standing for the great funda-
meatal rights upon which all suc-
cessful free government must be
based. We are standing for ele-
mentary descency in politics. We
are fighting for honesty against nak-
ed robbery: and where robbery is
concerned, the all-important ques-
tion is not the Identity of the man
robbed, but the crime Itself.
"As far as Mr. Taft and 1 are
personally concerned, it little mat-
ters what the fate of either may be.
But with Mr. Taft's acquiescence or
by his direction and In his Interest,
his followers have raised an issue
which is all-important to this coun-
try. It is not a partisan issue; it
is more than a political issue; It is
a real moral issue. If we condone
political theft, if we do not resent
the kinds of wrong and injustice
that will injuriously affect the whole
nation, tnat not merely our demo-
cratic form of government, but our
civilization itself can endure.
"If methods adopted by the na-
tional committee are approved by
the convention, which is about to
assemble, a great crime will have
been committed. The triumph of
such proceedings at the moment
would mean the wreck of the re-
publican party; and if such proceed-
ings become habitual, it would mean
the wreck of popular government.
The actions of the Taft leaders In
the national committee, taken with
the active aid of Mr. Taft's private
secretary, and of one of Mr. Taft's
cabinet officers, are monstrous, and
they should be Indignantly condemn
ed by the moral sentiment of the
whole country. Tonight we come
together to protest against a crime
which strikes straight at the heart
of every principle of political de-
cency and honesty, a crime which
represents treason to the people,
and in the usurpation of the sov-
ereignty of the people by lrrespon
sible political bosses, inspired by
the sinister influence of moneyed
privilege.
"We, here In this hall, are en-
gaged, not only In a fight for the
rights of every decent republican,
we are engaged In a fight for the
rights of every decent American
whatsoever his party may be. And,
oh, my friends, for one thing at
least we should be profoundly grate-
ful. We are more fortunate than
our fathers in that there is no slight
est tinge of sectionalism In the
u
This Car to be Given Away
by the News-Herald
Contest
fight we are now waging. The prin-
ciples for which we stand are as
vital for the south, as for the north,
for the east, as for the west. We
make our appeal to all honest, far-
sighted and patriotic Americans, no
matter where they may dwell.
Parting of the Ways.
'It is not to be wondered at that
our opponents have been very bit-
ter; for the line-up In this crisis
is one that cuts deep to the found-
ation of government. Our democracy
it now put to a vital test; for the
conflict is between human rights
on the one side and on the other
special privilege asserted as a prop-
erty right. The parting of the ways
has come. The republican party
must definitely Btand one thing or
the other. It must stand by deeds
and not merely by empty phrases,
for the rights of humanity, or else
it must stand for special privilege.
Our opponents are are fond of call-
ing themselves regular republicans.
In reality they have no title to mem-
bership In any party that is true to
the principles of Abraham Lincoln.
They are fighting for the cause of
special privilege and their chief
strength is drawn from the benefici-
aries of entrenched economic and
social Injustice.
"The action of these men is in no
sense 'regular' as they claim it to
be. They in no way represent the
people; they in no way represent
the rank and file of the republican
party, and theft and dishonesty can-
not give and never shall give a
title to regularity. One thousand
and seventy-eight men are to meet
here in convention to decide the fu-
ture of the republican party. At
least seven-eighths out of those
among them who really represent
the people are against the nomina-
tion of President Taft.
Battling for the Lord.
"What happens to me is not of
the slightest consequence; I am to
be used, as in a doubtful battle any
man is used, to his hurt or not, so
long as he is useful and Is then
cast aide or left to die. I wish
you to feel this. I mean it; and 1
shall need no sympathy when you
are through with me, for this fight
is far too great to permit up to
concern ourBelves about any man's
welfare. If we are true to ourselves
by putting far above our own In
terests, the triumph of the high
cause for which we battle, we shall
not lose. It would be far better
to fail honorably for the cause we
champalon than it would be to win
by foul methods, the foul victory
for which our opponents hope. But
the victory shall be ours and it
shall be won as we have already
von so many victories, by clean and
honest fighting for the loftiest of
causes. We fight in honorable fash
ion for the good of mankind; fear-
less of the future, unheeding of our
individual fates, with unflinching
hearts and undlmmed eyes; we
stand at Armageddon, and we bat-
tle for thp Lord."

HAD CHEERS FOR
Chicago, June 18.—William Jeu-
nings Bryan was a center of at-
traction in the pre-convention scene
Sunday, and though appearing at
the headquarters of leaders of a
rival party as a newspaper reporter,
was given a demonstration by the
throng of visitors and delegates.
Mr. Bryan had a personal chat
with Theodore Roosevelt late in
the day after he had interviewed
Senator Dixon, the Roosevelt cam-
paign director, and Manageing Di-
rector McKinley of the Taft bureau.
As he entered the hotel lobby,
elbowing his way through the crowd,
someone shouted: "Hurrah for Wil-
liam J. Bryan."
He was cheered for several min-
utes, and continuous cries of
"speech, speech" came from all parts
ot the lobby. Mr. Bryan waved his
hand to the crowd and remarked
to those near him that he had come
"merely as a newspaper reporter,"
and not seeking presidential nomi-
nation from a republican convention.
"I came to see your steam roller,"
said Mr. Bryan, as he shook hands
with Congressman McKinley. "Is it
anywhere in sight?"
"No, we have laid it aside," said
Mr. McKinley, "but would be glad
to lend it to you if you would like
to have it at Baltimore."
"Oh, no, we democrats do not
need it," Mr. Bryan laughingly re-
sponded. "We are going to hold a
model convention."

ATTEMPTED ON SEVERAL
LOCAL CITIZENS,
A number of Shawnee people have
recently received letters from Ma-
drid, Spain, inviting them to bite at
the old, old "in prison" graft. The
strange part of the circumstance is
that identical letters were received
by several at practically the same
time. The letters all read as fol-
lows:
Madrid, 31, 5, 1912.

I am imprisoned in this city and
knowing your honesty and secrecy,
1 beg to beseek you herewith wheth-
er you wants to come here to take

to seize upon a trunk containing a
secret in which I have hidden some
documents indispeneables to you to
come if possession of my property
and of 73.0(10 dollars, all I have in
America.
As reward, I will yield you thj
third part of the aforesaid sunt.

The great June sale of the Mam-
moth Department Store, notices of
which appear in this issue, offers
to the buying public of Pottawat-
omie and adjoining counties a rare
opportunity to get desirable, season-
able goods at great reductions from
their fair values. "Overstocked" is
the report made by the headB of all
departments to Mr. Geo. H. Ker-
foot, who at once set about making
plans to reduce all lines. To hasten
the work of clearing the shelves, he
ordered sharp reductions, many nev-
er be/ore kt.own in Shawnee, All
over the store, and contracted with
The News-Herald to tell the people
about it It will be a veritable car-
nival of buying for those who rec-
orgnize and appreciate real bargains.
The reputation that the Mammoth

their advertising matter is a suffici-
ent guarantee that everything ad
vertised as a bargain is sure to be
a genuine bargain.
Shawnee will pasB for a first-class
summer resort today. The Rockies

JURY SAYS IT'S
A "SURE 'NDUGH"
PICTURE SHOW
THIRD TRIAL OF FAMOUS CASE
IN CITY COURT RESULTS IN
A CONVICTION.
A jury In the city court has fi-
nally said that the show at the
Alvo, run by R. W. Wilson, is a
moving picture show, rather than
vaudeville. The case was tried be-
fore a jury in the city court Mon-
day afternoon for the third time,
two former JurleB having disagreed.
The Jury assessed the penalty at
$25 and costs. The defendant will
appeal.
At the time Mayor Stearns was
elected, he started at once to col-
lect the license from the moving
picture shows. All paid up except
the Alvo and Folly, conducted by
Lemley and Wilson. The Folly aft-
erwards closed, and suit was In-
stituted In city court against the
Alvo. Mr. Wilson contended that
he was not running a picture show,
but a vaudeville show, and that
consequently he was subject to the
theatre license of $25 a year Instead
of the moving picture show license
of $10 a month.

OLD TIMERS ARE
ABSENT FROM
CHICAGO CON.
ONLY ONE OF THEM IS THERE
AND HE IS FORGOTTEN BUT
NOT GONE.
Chicago, June 18.—Like the last
leaf on the tree ex-Senator Chaun-
cey M. Depew is wandering about
the corridors of the Congress hotel,
attracting about as much attention
as a delegate from Alabama.
His presence and his lonesomeness
serve to remind those familiar with
the republican convention of the
past of many once prominent fig-
ures missing at the present gather-
ing. For one reason and another
most of the old time convention
leaders are numbered among the
absent. Oracles and prophets once
the center of every lobby group, dis-
pensers of oratory and election fore-
casts, they are now staying peace-
fully at home far from the tumult
and the shouting, as forgotten as
last year's platform. For them the
moving finger has writ and passed
on.
Joseph Benson Foraker? He an-
swers not. The once all-potent sen-
ator from Ohio, presidential candi-
date, passionate deplorer of Browns-
ville, and all around prop of the
constitution, is not here, and so far
as surface indications go, nobody
has inquired for him.
Julius Caesar Burrows? Not here.
Four years ago he was chairman
of the convention and spoke with
the authority of the republican par-
ty. Since then he has ceased to
speak for Michigan in the senate
and for the republican party any-
where. There is no largo dent vis-
ible here to mark the place where
he was.
Village Cup-Up.
The Chicago police was summoned
by phone with ambulance and phy-
sicians to a certain street number
where a lot of dead men were re-
ported. After an exciting run the
patrol pulled up at the cometery
gate on said street number.—Chan-
