DEMOCRATS URGED TO

Camden Says the People Must Not
Depend Upon Interests To
Put up Campalan Money
At a mcvliux of n majority x) the
ileinocrulit: editors o Kentucky with
Cliuirtniiti J. N. Cntmlen, of the
Suite Ciimpuign committee in Louis
xillo SutiiTiltiy, it wus itniirchbctl

how fomplctely the battle to elect
Wilson nml Mai shall is in the hands,
of the people themselves. Contri
butions from the big interests mid
corporations nro not being accepted,
mid the iiiTisiirv expensesof the
campaign must be furnished by dem
ocrats themselves. It is a light lor
tho people, und they must furnish
lln wneivs of war to wage it. Chair
man f'nindcn cogently dcscribid the
situation in his addtess to the cdi
tots in part as follows:
"We did not realize beforo ns we
do now, that el cry campaign fin
anced by the incorporated interests
was in effect a deadly blow to the
development of patriotism in the1
Ameiicau people. The ' Republican
party i responsible for this con
dition for it, has been a vast com
mercial body out for leveiiue only,
and those interests which contribut
ed most liberally to its success re
Jx'ived in it-tinii Ihe largest measure

of ils laiiff Inns. I can hardly be
lieve that the corporations them
Pclie foresaw tho results of their
liberal contributions', for I am sure
that no set of men could be found
who with that end in view could In
such deliberate traitors to their
cottnhy.
When wc now pome to think nbottt
it, the Democratic party docs not
want ils campaign financed either
on a charitable or on a philanthro

press can make it easier for the dis
trict, county nnd precinct chairmen,
if you will make it plain nnd inspire
the Deinocrnev with the thought
that there will be no money furnish
ed from henddttarters to pnv men lo
.ote, or politely translate, there will
be no moiifv for the purpose of see
ing that "the vote is gotten out" or
"for taking can of the floater!";
that the Democrats are expected to
vote because they believe in the prin
ciples of their party because they
love it. becaue they believe it to
the safest nnd best expression of
government lor our country. Let
iw hope Hint the shifting f the res
ponsibilit. ,.f fiiiuiifiui' Hip ,...,

ders of the peope will pound the knell
of "peanut polities."

you in all earnestness that if lhee

the country will not greatly be im

of patriotism and exalted courage.
Let us on our part uphold him with

mid see that he is not left to the

of bis deed, nnd when they wero
finished blow out his own brains.
One of tho letters wns to his two
sons, Elmer nnd Ycrnoti Singleton,
and requested that thsy bury their
parents, side by sido in the cemetery
at Eitbanks. Another note was to
the Rev. George Thompson, asking
that ho conduct services over the
graves, and third was to Thomas
Lee. father of his divorced wife.
Singleton had made his home in
Indiana for the past few years. Last
Spring his wife secured n divorco
from him on the ground of abandon
ment. Rumor had it that she had
been in correspondence with a inaa
in Ohio whom she wns soon to mar-
l.v. singleton returned to tlie com
munity where he hud lived, a short
time ngo, nnd the report of Mrs.
Singleton's approaching marriage
to another man reached him. He
brooded over the news, and Friday
morning went to flic homo of J. R.
Nelson at Eubank, nnd borrowed a
pistol, saying that he wns going
squirrel hunting. Instead he went
to his former home, where his ex
wife was living.
It is believed from the condition
in which things Were found, that
she wns kindling a fire in the stova
in tho kitchen to get dinner, when
he entered the house. It is thought
that he stole up and shot her with
out saying a word, as the bullet
which ended her, life entered the
back of her head, and it is apparent
that! she sank To tho floor dead in
her tracks. Then it w.13 that Single.
ton sat down to a table, and wrote
the notes before he took his own
life. He told his boys good-byo in
his letter to them, stating thnt his
time had come to leave this world,
nnd that he wished they wOitfd lay
him by the side of his wife in tho
cemetery.
Elmer Singleton, who had made
his home with his mother, had left
home earlier in the day, and was
working clearing out some timber
some distance from the house. He
did not hear any shots, nnd it was
not until he came home for dinner
thnt he discovered the double trag
edy. A neighbor living a short dis
tance away had heard the shots. Ho
said that there seemed to be an in
terval of about thirty minutes be
tween them, which would account
for tho time that elapsed between
the death of Mrs. Singleton, nnd
Singleton's b,elf destruction, which
was occupied by him in writing his
farewell letters.
Young Mr. Singleton was pros
trated by the sight that met his
eyes as he -stepped into the house.
He speedily notified neighbor, and
hi brother, Yemen Singleton, who
is employed by the Cincinnati South
em railroad at Danville. Tho latter
V't-iil to the scene nt once, and in
fullillment of their fnther's desires
laid their parents, side by side iu
the cemetery nt Eubanks after service-
in the church b- Rev. Ball and
nt the cemetery by Rev. Thompson.
Both the young men, who nre well
liked and highly respected by all
who know them, have the sympathy
of all in their hour of grief.
