VENGEANCE AND
NOT ROBBERY MAY
'EXPLAIN MURDER
yaneouven B. C Aug. 18 -(U.
,, p,) Despite the fact that rings and
'. moineyi in the possession of , Mrs.
Aim Bampson at the time of her
death have disappeared, the police
and her husband, Charles Sampson,
do wot believe that robbery was the
motive of her murder early yester-
day morning at her room in the Cas-
: tie hotel.
Two men, William Coleman and Fred
Saunders, are held by the police; in con
nection with' the case That Saunders is
detained elm ply for investigation, wai
admitted bj the police last night. -Cole
mart im i booked on an open . charge. H
U about 35 years of age and was, for
eight years g policeman in Edmonton.
He was-arrested late yesterday afternoon
and! denied that he even had heard that
Mrs, Sampson was dead.
-' Coleman lived at the West hotel. Saun-
deri had a ; room at the Castle, but ap
pears to have been out of town Monday.
When he returned yesterday ' he at-
tempted! to get into communication with
;,Mrs, Sampson and it was he who gave
1- the )alarm of her death. : --1
Charles Sampson, husband of the dead
woman,! was met by police officers at
' the railway station on the arrival of
Tuesday's Seattle train, on which he
wast employed aa a brakemanj
"It was revenge," he exclaimed. "He
threatened her and me, Ue said he
would do the same to , her aa he did to
; Blaache at Seattle."
Sam peon did not indicate at that time
to whom be referred, although he later
made a i full statement to the police.
One important detail Js lacking in the
police case. They have not as yet dis
covered Ithe instrument with which the
woman was struck down. The gaping
wound on the top of her head indicates
that! it was a weapon of some weight
and; was used with great force.1 ! Care
ful search of the room and the hotel re-
vealed nothing to verify the first sup
position that the Mow had been struck
, with a bottle. . -
Sampson and his wife had been living
apart for six months, though they fre
quently met and were on . fairly good
., tierniB. i He saw her here on Monday and
is certain - that she carried considerable
-money. j. i-'kv-:";. '

of these men to ! be president of the

the voters who will do the electing next
November. -
GAMUT IS BUIT
It is not necessary to describe even
the nature of these stories, for, let it
suffice, to . say, that : everything., that has
ever been charged against persons' In '
public life Is being 'said about Harding
and Cox,., N.ot: satisfied to inquire into
the. domestic relations of each of the
candidates, the tale mongers have, even
gone' back a generation or two and in
one Instance nearly 100 years to resur
rect skeletons of moral laxity.
Anyone who- listens carefully to the
stories told by both sides cannot but .be
impressed with 'the fact - that - the 'cir
cumstances' in each case afford abso
lutely no Index to characters The trou
ble is that party workers- have an idea
this is the thing that makes votes, and
while on the subject of party workers,
the writer has seen enough, and heard
enough to become convinced that the
Democrats and Republicans in the wards
and precincts where this propaganda is
being peddled are equally culpable.
SHOULD CIXCH LIES .'-
Somehow it appears to a disinterested
observer as If the national and state
managers could put a stop to. this sort
of thing which Is as degrading as it is
pollticaly popular. There are plenty
of faults in the policies and promises
of Harding and Cox for the voter to
determine which man is better able to
manage the public business of this coun
try for four long . and uninterrupted
years. -
Some politicians in Ohio haven't given
a very good example of political chiv
alry, at least the party workers haven't.
If the newspaper man who are attached,
for the time being with Senator Hard
ing or those . who are with Governor
Cox, were to confess all the stories that
prejudiced "Republicans and Democrats
have endeavored to "plant" on them. It
would be chocking as it is probably
incredible to those 'who do not under
stand the extremes to which some poli
ticians will go to - accomplish their
purpose.'
INJUSTICE ,18 BOJTE
Any man or . woman whq permits his
or her vote , to be influenced by these
stories, however circumstantial they may
appear, will be doing an Injustice to
Senator Harding and Governor Cox for,
while both are human beings, they are
honorable and honest men with a moral
ity and conscience far above the "average
and all this story about drinking, gamb
ling, business deals, domestic troubles,
ancestral weaknesses and the like, can
be dismissed as having absolutely no
morerelationahin to the 'true worth of
the two presidential candidates than the
color of their hair or shade of their eyes.
