LED TO SUICIDE Jeweller Who Ended Life at Under- taker’s Long in Terror of “Liquor Dealers’ Vengeance. Inquiry into the death of Witiam Wisseman, No. 368 State Street, Brook- lym, brought to ligh® to-day a queer hallucination. Wiseman went to the undertaking rooms’ of William J. M: No, 238 Lenox Avenue, Manh: lerday afternoon, delivered a then dropped dead. The letter said he had taken cyanide of potassium @nd gave instructions for his burial. It also said: “I was forced to commit sutcile by the liquor dealers’ association.’ Mrs. Esther Cahoon, landiady of the house where Wisseman lived, said he’ was a builder and a jeweller, but had receptly been out of work. He con- stantly had the idea that liquor dealers were after him, and said he had beon threatened with death by them ten years ago. At times he would lock himself in bis room for a month.

Gigantic signs call attention to "ae location, On every sign inside bad outside and on every printed tld the name of Hiram Johnson ap- Voars in red ink ‘like the “red fudge” mmnouncemént in the Hearst news- papers. The Hearst newspaper in- ierests in Chicago are closely allied with the Johnson headquarters.

No- where else is the uniform in evidence save in the headquarters of Gen, Wood, who wears his uniform with 1) its appurtenances at all times, The Roosevelt slogan was “Teddy, Teddy, we want Teddy.” The John- gon slogan is “I am for Hiram; he ts for Uncle Sam.” The Johnson sen- timent in Chicago willbe placed on public view to-night at the Audi- torium, where the candidate and Sen- stor Borah will undertake to work up another such tempest as they helped Col. Roosevelt work up on the eve of the convention’ of eight years ago. Herbert Hoover's headquarters is on the ninth floor of the Auditorium in a jong, spacious vaulted room or- " dinarily used as a banquet hall, The difference between this headquarters and the Johnson centre below is as pronounced as the difference between the Hoover and Johnson staffs, in that most of the workers are vol- unteers.

They pick out one guy and pick on Gt home in this convention, though. But it looks like the candidate with the largest icedow will win. So far the hotels look like the only winners. If the H.C.

The hotels are so crowded the night watchmen have no place to sleep at night. The menu prices are ali marked up like a guy that's been shaving in a Pullman washroom. The high price of fodder has got thegdele- gates chewing the rag. That's one thing the delegates can still do Pool table on account. With so much rag chewing going on, no wonder there's a white shortage of food and the plenitude of prices there's a waiters’ strike going on. The watters walked out of the restaurants for the same reason the customers are now walking out—they got tired of waiting. The effect of the waiters’ strike on the convention is something It has caused a slump for the meal ticket, but It's a good Seating the delegates has raised an awful row. The delegates that are unseated say they won't stand for it. Florida has given ‘em a flock of trouble, too. It seems there aren't enough Republicans in Florida to fill out the delegation. It looks like a ventriloquist will have to announce Florida’s vote and use a double voice, which is something like Missouri's problem. The trouble with Missouri's delegation isn’t that it has double voices, but that it’s two-faced. Among the candidates there is con, . much talk pro and con, but mostly Hiram Johnson is suffering f: ‘rom literary indigestion.

The success of the mud programme will depend on who holds the rein. “ESSEX ST.

GHICAGO, June 7. E ARE picketing the Re- W publican National Con- vention in Chicago be- cause the Republican Party has become responsible for the con- tinued delay in the ratification of suffrage, After a year’s campaign of un- paralleled intensity we still need one State to complete ratifica- tion, The Republican Party could have given this one State by ratifying suffrage in Dela- ware, but the Republican Party defeated suffrage in Delaware. The Republican Party can give the one needed State by ratifying suffrage in Vermont or Connec- tiout, but the Republican Gover- nors in these States refuse to al- low the Legislatures to meet to consider suffrage. The Republican Party, since ft has the power, must bear the re- Sponsibility for the fate of the amendment. Until the Republican Party ceases blocking the enfranchise- ment of women we shall opposg the Republican Party in every way in our power. Throughout our ratification campaign we have found it sus- Pictously difficult to gain the full co-operation of the Republican officials in National and State offices. Many Republican States have ratified the amendment, but they have done so after most dif- ficult campaigns on the part of the Woman's Party, and often in spite of dilatory and obstructive tactics on the part of Republican officials. It has been openly whispered in political circles that the plan . of the Republican Party was fo allow ratification to proceed until almost completed, and then allow it to fail for lack of one or two Btates. New Mexico, New Jer- * sey and West Virginia were ex- pected, it has been stated, to be the stumbling blocks in the rat- ification campaign. By superhu- man efforts suffrage forces won these States. They fajled tn Del- aware, and they fatied there be- cause the Republican Party did not want them to win. ‘We have come to Chicago, not to secure more resolutions; we | have had ehough of resolutions that are not backed by deeds. ‘We have come to protest against delay and to demand effective action from the Republican Party on suffrage.
