COL. ROOSEVELT SHOT
New York Lunatic Follows Ex-President
to Milwaukee
No Politics in the Case
Monday evening it was reported
in Alliance that ex-President Roose
velt had been shot in Milwaukee,
Just, before beginning a political
apeeeh. Full details of the occur
rence were not received here until
the daily papers arrived the next
day. A ma.il by the name of John
Sc hrank who had evidently been fol
lowing Roosevelt for some time with
the intention of assassinating him.
leveled a revolver at him as he was
leaving his hotel for the auditorium,
where he was to deliver an address,
and fired. The shot took effect in
the right breast, fracturing the
fourth rib. The force of the bullet
was broken by the manuscript of the
speech which was In the colonel's
coat pocket. Had It not been for
this, the shot would no doubt have
proved fatal.
Colonel Roosevelt's courage, which
is one cause of his great popularity,
was shown lly him insisting on pro
ceeding to the auditorium and deliv
ering his speech, oecupyiag nearly an
hour, before even permitting an ex
amination by the physiciaas
That some newspaper correspond
ents' minds naturally run in narrow
channels is shown by the eort sent
out immediately after te shooting
that the assassin "was probably a
socialist." The man wbe did the
shooting and mho la ihe son of a
New York saloonkeeper, is evidently
a republican, if anything In politics;
but it is absurd to charge his crime
to any political party or its adher
es. The following letter found in
his pocket shows him to be a man
iac: "September 15, 1912.
"September 16, 1801, 1:80 a.m. In
a dream I saw President McKinley
sit up in a monk's attire in whom I
recognized Theodore Roosevelt. The
dead president said: 'This is my
murderer, avenge my death.'
"September It, 1!H2, 1:30 a. ni.
While writing a poem, someone tap
ped me on the shoulder and said:
'I jet not a murderer take the presi
dential chair. Avenge my death.'
"I could plainly see Mr. McKinley s
features.
"Before the Almighty God. I swear
that above writing is nothing but the
truth."
Another note in the man's pockets
reads :
"So long as Japan could rise to
the greatest power of the world de
spite her surviving a tradition more
than 8,008 years old. as General Nogi
so nobly demonstrated, it is the duty
of the United States of America to
uphold the third term tradition let
every third termer be regarded as
a traitor to the American cause. Let
it be the right and dnty of every
citizen to forcibly remove a third
termer. Never let a. tbird term par
ty emblem appear on the official bal
lot. "I am willing 10 die for my coun
try. God has ratted me to be his
instrument, so be-rp me God.
(Signed.) "Innocent Guilty.
"In German a .strong tower is our
God."

The Red Sox were one run behind

A CASE OFCOLD FEET
Congressman Kinkaid's Illness Proves
to be Fear of Defeat
Re-enters Race for Congress
The "Big Sixth" congressional dis
trict has Just had an example of
quick recovery from an acuV: attack
of cold feet. When it was annotate
ed lasl week that your Uncle Moses
I'. Klnkaid had decided to withdraw
from the race as a candidate for re
election to conurcss again, and had
gone so far as to transmit his with
drawal to the secretary of state,
giv ing ill health as an excuse lor do
ing so, a good many voters looked
askance. Of course, they did not
like to uuestloii his sincerity, but it
did look strange that his health was
quite good during that period of the
camnaltin that he was trying to land
I lie endorsement of the progressives,
Inn as soon as they emphatically
declined In their convent ion to en
dorse such a rank standpatter and
nominated another man as their can
didate, he at once discovered that,
his health was In a precarious GOB'
dlt Ion.
The republican congressional com
mittee got together at Crawford and
although they had better material to
select from, from the viewpoint of
real statesmanship, they well knew,
as has been pointed out In this pa
per, that Mr. Klnkaid was an over
rated man and had a hold on a lame
number of votes to which he la not
entitled by his ability and record
as a congressman. By some means
which they have not published to the
world they persuaded hlin to re-enter
the race, and now he Is the stand
pat, or Taft republican candidate, by
nomination of the congressional baa

what we shnll see.
