LYNCH
NEGRO
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CAIRO, 111., Aug. 1. —An In
vestigation of the lynching of a
negro caught in the bedroom of
the daughter of John Wade, a
white farmer living near here, is
being conducted by the authorities
today. The girl entered her room,
and hearing the negro, screamed.
The black became frightened. He
tried to escape, but the girl's cries
brought help, . , and , the negro
crawled under the bed. He was
dragged out and taken from the
house. In a few minutes a crowd
gathered and the' negro was strung
up to a tree.
. The' lynching has created con
siderable excitement, recalling the
murder of Annie ' Pelly at Cairo
and the lynching of Will James,
the j negro accused of the crime.
Race feeling has been aroused.

MARTINEZ, Cal., Aug. I.—
Hoping that grief at the sight of
her four dead babies lying in the
county morgue will restore her to
sanity, the ■ coroner's Jury today
planned to permit Mrs. Joseph M.
Mello, who drowned the children
at her Brentwood home Saturday,
to view the bodies.
Since the woman was arrested
after she had drowned her four
children in a washtub she has
displayed no remorse.
The coolness of the woman
astounds the medical men at the
county hospital.

TAOOMA, WASH., MONDAY, AUGUST 1. 1010
PARTY BOSSES PUT THEIR "VOTE TRADE" THROUGH BUT-
Clark county republican bosses held their "con
vention" Saturday and made good their part of the
bargain by which the Ashton crowd is trying to trado
off Pierce county's chances of a congressman to Mc-
Credie for McCredie's delivering of Clark county
voters to Ashton for senator.
Ashton was endorsed by the "convention" as
agreed upon, in return for the endorsement of Mc-
Credie as put through the Pierce county machine
convention by Ashton. v
Now that the two cliques of county bosses have got
through swapping the votes of the people, the people
will get ready to do their own voting, and the bosses
who are trading votes may find they have none but
their own to trade.
There is a kind of notion in the heads of the people
these days that the individual citizen has a right to
do his own voting, and it looks as if he intends to do it
this year. -; '*-' y 7-y
The attempt to swap 20,000 Pierce county votes by
i Ashton to McCredie for 1100 Clark voters for Ashton,
is laughable to begin with, and will be really hilarious
; when the results are summed up next month.
From all indications the 20,000 Pierce county vot
ers are going to do their own voting without any ad-

, I got a place ln a restaurant.
Emily, one of the girls, came
jto work that morning sick. Her
head was hot and her hands were
dripping with icy sweat. We met

, work. She swayed as she walk

She worked that morning after

soldier. ...y : - ; . y-
She had safely reached her sta
tion with "three plates of meat
and three saucers of peas in one
hand and arm, with four cups of
coffee In the other hand, two brac
ed in her fingers and the second

vice from Jim Ashton, Johnny Wilson, George Stev
enson or any of the rest of the stand-pat bunch, and
it looks very much as if they are going for Stanton
Warburton for congressman almost solid.
The Ashton gang's scheme to deliver the people to
McCredie of Portland in the recent convention
showed that Ashton's howl about a local candidate is
all buncombe, and that it is a stand-pat game of the
interests against the people. And the scheme was
such a transparent fraud that the voters are going
right down the line for the whole insurgent program,
and unless all signs fail, Pierce county will vote next
month in the primaries for Warburton and Poindex
ter.
Politicians may run the conventions and swap
around among themselves, but the people have been
fooled too often. And they have shown their power
in the direct primary and are eager to have another
try at it. If there was nothing else at stake except
just to show the bosses that they cannot bargain
away the people and sell them and trade them like so
many sheep, the people would come pretty near re
pudiating this Clark-Pierce county deal of the
bosses.
The day has gone by for trading off the voters to
a political boss in Washington. -.'.', '•
