North Carolina Man Says Steamroller
Was Operated By Roosevelt
In His Various
Races
WASHINGTON, July 5. Senator
Cummins of Iowa, progressive Repub
lican candidate for the Presidential
nomination at the Chicago convention
formally declared today against the
new party movement led by Theo
dore Hoosevelt and announced his al
legiance to the old party.
In so doing Mr. Cummins said
bosses could not be escaped by the
organization of new parties and to
those Republicans who, after intelli
gent inquiry, concluded that Presi
dent Tai't's renomination was the re
sult of fraudulent votes, he pointed
out, however, that disappointment or
individual dishonesty cannot be a
foundation of a new party.
John G. Capers, South Carolina
member of the Republican National
committee, who supported Colonel
Roosevelt at Chicago, also formally
announced his intention to support
President Taft's candidacy. Mr.
Capers, in a statement, said the work
of the majority of the National com
mittee "was not one whit more se
vere than the steam roller methods
of four years ago."
"At that time," he said, "in behalf
of Candidate Taft and under the di
rection of President Rooesvelt, I was
one of the engineers of the machine
and helped flatten out the minority of
the committee, who were in the same
condition when we got through with
them as were the 15 men of the com
mittee at the Chicago convention at
this time." Mr. Capers was one of
the 15.

subject was "Some tt Our Present
and Future Duties," and was well
handled. Among the amusements
were the two baseball games, the
first being between the "Granddads"

DEMOCRATIC MULE
PLAYS HIGH JINKS
A Democratic mule raised high
jinks at the courthouse Friday, and
it is freely predicted that Governor
Wilson will not get the usual Demo
cratic vote in this city. As a result
of the animal's escapade the hand
somest tree in the courthouse yard,
planted when the building was erect
ed, was destroyed, and many of the
county officials are angry. The mule,
which belonged to a contractor, be
came frightened while being driven
through the grounds, and the driver
was unable to hold it." It ran at full
speed into the tree, uprooting it. The
animal was not hurt.
"Sure omen of Democratic success"
said assessor Jack as he gazed upon
the wreck 'Tm sorry we have lost
the tree, but would have been much
more so if we had lost the mule. That
is just what the Democrats will do to
the Republicans just what the mule
did to the tree."
County Clerk Mulvey, and othe
Republican officials, however, took a
different view of the escapade of the
animal. They were certain it augur
ed for .Republican success. -
"That mule got gay quick just like
the Democrats usually do," said a
Republican. "The Democrats do a
great deal of blowing before election,
but afterward have little to say. TE5t
donkey won't be" half so sprightly
tomorrow. - " i

WERE BETTER AT REPUBLI
CAN CONVENTION
ROOSEVELT NOT FEARED, HE SAYS
Commoner, At Home, Declares Clark
Victim Of Advisers Wilson
"Sure Winner, He
- Thinks
LINCOLN, Neb., July 5. "Never in
my experience," said Mr. Bryan this
morning, in referring to his fight at
Baltimore, "had victory hung by such
a slender thread and never had it
been dependent upon so many per
sons about whose position I knew
nothing.
"Never for" a moment did I delude
myself into believing that I could se
cure the nomination at Baltimore. 1
told the Republicans that I could
come nearer being nominated at Chi
cago than at Baltimore. That was
my belief before I went to Chicago,
and after the Republicans had nomi
nated Mr. Taft by muans that I would
not now describe and after Mr.
Roosevelt had announced his willing
ness to run as a thR-a candidate with
a new party, I felt that the only thing
to do at Baltimore was to write a
platform so progressive that Roose
velt would find no excuse for running.
"If Clark had come out as Wilson
did," said Mr. Bryan, referring to the
temporary chairmanship fight, "if he
had refused to allow his leaders to
lead him into the position that he oc
cupied, the result of this convention
might have been very different." '
Before leaving Baltimore, Bryan es
timated that Wilson would have a plu
rality of 2,000,000 over President
Taft. When asked if he still held to
that estimate, he replied:
Tn estimating Wilson's plurality at
2,000,000 I was not counting on a
third party. - That might reduce the
plurality some, and yet not much, be
cause many Republicans who will
vote for Mr. Roosevelt would not be
willing to vote for a Democrat, and
that will largely reduce Mr. Taft's
vote. Taft will be the contender for
the Roosevelt votes, not Mr. Wilson."
