UNIVERSAL REGRETS
The deed of the manic in
attempting to assasinate ex
President Theodore Roosevelt,
has called forth universal sym
pathy for the wounded statesman
aqd condemnation for the ac
cused.
In this—like all other similar
attempts by so-called lunatics to
shoot our prominent states
men—the American people—re
gardless of political differences-
sent forth a universal expression
of regret.
The act was both cowardly
and anarchistic, but the people
of today are demanding free
speech on all subjects, and any
attempt to substitue the bullet
for the ballot is strongly resent
ed.
Tbe Uolonel is to be congratu
lated on his escape, and it is in
deed a great pity that tbe people
of this country will not be able
to bear bis voice again in this
campaign.
The tickets have all been filed,
and in the papers of next week
they will be printed in the vari
ous counties. It will be well for
every man to get a copy with
tbe ballot printed in it and study
tbe emblems, the names of those
on tbe tickets, and familiarize
themselves with tbe ballots be
fore going to tbe polls on tbe
fifth of November. Stamp in
tbe boxing where the eagle is to
vote a Republican ticket, and in
the other emblems to vote the
ticket printed under them.
