Taft Not the Heir He Speaks at Salem Ill
In Salem Illinois Sherman is accused of keeping people from ruling and Taft’s Virginia speech is criticized as aimed at Virginians. The speaker argues that the American people do not rule and presses for Roosevelt Republican votes while insisting government is not responsive to the people. He reiterates that reform will come to the Democratic side and vows to secure more support from Republicans and independents.

Man Shoots Self After Declaring Life Over
George Hunter, 25, a machinist at the navy yard and member of Company E, First Regiment National Guard, left Miss Bessie Kendig's home at 1240 H Street Northwest muttering he was tired of life. He drew two revolvers, fired at a tree, then shot himself in the head, later saying he acted in personal crisis. He survived, though likely blind if recovered. A nearby police detail and witnesses, including Kendig and W. H. Curtis's children, reported the incident, with rumors of an earlier attack.
