lie Will Run on the Issues That Roosevelt is
Attemption to Carry Out and Which
Were Faked From llim
A special from Washington under
date of January 29, says that William
J. Bryan will Beek election to the pres
idency as the champion of the Roose
velt policies. He has requested Demo
cratic leaders in Congress' to get behind
Mr. Roosevelt in his recommendations
and force the issue on the Republicans.
Mr. Bryan's advice surprised some of
the Southern senators who attended the
Newland dinner.
. The story told of the dinner by the
senators who attended is the topic of
discussion in both the Democratic and
Republican cloakrooms. Mr. Byran did
not wait for suggestions from the sena
tors. "If I had gone to the dinner fully
determined to advise Mr. Bryan to re
tire and permit the nomination of an
other candidate," said one senator, "I
should not have the termerity to have
made the suggestion after Mr. Bryan
had been talking three minutes." The
Democratic leader, as soon as the guests
were seated, began to monopolize the
conversation by, telling stories. He then
launchen into a discussion of politics. In
this his tone and manner rather than
his direct asseration clearly showed
that he expected to receive the nomina
tion. Tho People With Roosevelt
It was not until he reached a discus
sion of Roosevelt policies that he in
dulged in direct assertions with regard
to his own ambitions. He gave it as his
opinion that the overshadowing issue in
the next campaign would be the Roose
velt policies. The people were with Roose
velt and antagonism from Democrats
would mean their annihilation, he said.
The voters of the country were with the
President because he was right and
would not split hairs over minor dif
ferences. Mr. Bryan said it was ap
parent that Taf t would be the Repub
lican nominee.. The question would
then arise which candidate could more
confidently be depended upon to carry
out these policies. Mr. Bryan said that
.the American people would be convinced
that he was more in accord with what
Roosevelt had tried to do than Secre
tary Taft, and on that issue he would
be elected.
No opportunities was give at the din
ner for any one to discuss the availabil
ity of presidential candidates other than
Mr. Bryan. The Peerless one, however,
had a suggestion to make in regard to
a running mate, and it caused much

surprise when he did not mention the
name of Judson Harmon. He said that
the vice presidential candidate should
come from the East and in this con
nection mentioned ex-Governor Doug
las of Massachusetts. This name was
merely used, however, as illustrative
of the type of the candidates and sec
tion from which- he should come. The
guests are chiefly from the South and
did not fail to notice that Mr. Bryan
had overlooked the large number of
Southern governors and members of
Congress who have been mentioned as
possible nominees for second place on
the ticket.
The Republicans Faithless, He Says.
In setting forth the reason why he be
lieved he would be able to defeat Secre
tary Taft with the Roosevelt policy for
a campaign cry, Mr. Bryan said that
the developments of the Roosevelt ad
ministration had shown that the Presi
dent's own party had never given hfm
support. Whatever had been accom
plished had been forced on the Republi
cans while the Democrats in his most
important fights had stood solidly at
his back. For this reason Mr. Bryan
insists that the Democrats should make
themselves conspicuous in urging on the
Republicans every measure which in
corporated Roosevelt policies. His
only suggestious with regard to cur
rency legislation was an advocacy of
the plan for guaranteeing deposits.
The Democrats have been too much
surprised to reach any conclusion as to
the effect of Mr. Bryan's advice. When
it becomes known that the Democratic
leader has taken this position it will cer
tainly rekindle all the animosity of the
conservative Democrats of the East,
even if it does not cause a renewal of
the efforts to defeat him for the nomi
nation through an application of the
two-thirds rule.
An Anomaly in Politics.
Mr. Bryan's contention throws light
on all of his recent public speeches. He
has never failed to assert that Presi
dent Roosevelt has appropriated demo
cratic doctrines and has tried to point
out what these policies are. If Mr.
Bryan suggestions were carried to
their logical conclusion the Democratic
national convention would have to ar
raign the Republican party for oppos
ing the policies of its own president,
thus presenting a cpndition altogether
unprecedented in American politics.

Hand Badly Lacerated
Last evening when Ward Clark went
hu me a ' strange dog lying under- the
porch concluded he would take up the
pass word from Mr. Clark before he
would be allowed admission to his own
home. The dog came out with his hair
up and teeth protruding, eyes flashing
fire, and defied all efforts of Mr. Clark
to enter the house. Ward backed off a
reasonable distance in the dark, his foot
striking a piece of a board, which he
picked up, and started for the dog,
whose turn it now came to "hike"
while Mr. Clark belabored him with
the board. But when he struck at the
dog there chanced to be a nail in the
board which in slipping through his
hand, lacerating it in such a manner as
to require two stitches to close up the
wound. Dr. Livingston dressed the
injury and Ward is carrying a very sore
hand as well as a sore spot for the dog.
He is like many another man here who
thinks there is many a dog in this city
that is an absolute nuisance and a men
ace to the safety of citizens, especially
the children.

which gets many people into trouble,
but does not pay the fiddler, got noisy

If you have been waiting for a pro

song and wonderful scenic effects, "The
Land of Nod," which comes to thePar
mele on next Monday, February 3, will
surpass your wishes. It introduces
many original personages such as "The

chap, daring in his flirtations when not
molested by his shrewish wife, "Rory
Bory Alice;", a mischievous "Weather

frighten the children; a typical Broad

pretty imaginative story, properly
adorned with sumptuous settings, a
comely, spirited chorus clad in unique
costumes and enlivened with wired
creatures. The cast- includes Knox
Wilson, in his original role, of "April
Fool;" Wm. Friend, Lawrence Coever,

Slugged, by a Negro
Weeping Water Republican: Mrs. W.
C. Ladd reports.. her son Charles, who
was assaulted not long since, as getting
along better. It appears that while in
Hazelpath, Kentucky, engaged in rail
road work, Mr. Ladd . was going to pay
off the workmen. One of them, a negro,
had quit, but was hanging around there
dissatisfied, and Mr. Ladd was struck
on the head by some one and rendered
unconscious. When found he was
taken to tha hospital and upon examin
ation his skull was found to be cracked.
An operation was necessary to remove
a portion of the skulL . The negro that
was referred to above suddenly disap
peared and there is no, doubt that he
was the one that struck Mr. Ladd.

The Third Number of tho Lecture Courso At
tended by a Fair Sized Audicnc at the
Theatre Last Might.
Last evening at the Parmele was given
the third number of the lecture course
for the season, "Day Dreams" by L.
B. Wickersham, to a fair sized, but
Vprv enthusiastic audience. This (the
third number) makes one-half of the
course, and all of which have proven as
being exceptionally good. The ones to
come are among the best which the lec
ture platform has to offer. In the
treating of the subject of "Day
Dreams," Mr. Wickersham last even
inrr in n verV nleasant and logical way,
gave, their source, their influence, and
the results attained from them, inter
rupted and uninterrupted. He denomi
nated them as spurious, counterfeit and
true. The counterfeit was what we try
tn retain from another, seeing only the
glamor of success and wishing to obtain
it without nuttiner forth the worK neces
sary to accomplish that success which
th nnp we have m eye did in oraer 10
rthtm-n it that which came to them. It is
like wearing someone else's garment-
it does not fit we must make it our
own by earnest, active, presistant work,
and then the success is ours in the fact
that, we have succeeded in making it
ours to that extent that we have put
our lives into it.
Tho snnrious kind was defined by him
as being that kind which someone else
was or had endeavored to palm off on
us a "Day Dream" of our own. Like
the counterfeit, it finds no receptive
nlapp in n:ir nature, and as a conse
quence, we do not enter into the work
of bringing about the realization 01 ine
horrowed dream as we would were it
our own. The. true day dream, main
tained the speaker, comes from Uoo,
and is an inspiration from the eternal
to better efforts and whether entirely
realized or not. makes that life the
better in which it has come. As an in
stance he gave the building of the bridge
across the Des Moines river, just west
of Boone, la., a few years since for the
Northwestern railway. From Boone to

thing like ten miles, which between was

almost a mile apart. These few miles
had been a sore in the management of
the road for many a long year, for they
had to run down into the river valley to
Moingona, crossing near water level,
and then back up the other side, on &
stiff grade, which required an extra en
gine to get over the hill, and consumed
the larger portion of an hour for soma
of the trains, and from thirty to forty
minutes for the others to make the trip.
This was a thorn in the side of the man
agement of the road and remained for a
young engineer to solve. He saw the
bluffs on either side, about the sanoe
height, and the yawning valley between.
He hought and though, revolving the
matter in his mind, and realizing that
in the competition for commercial su
premacy this road could afford to pay
what it would cost to construct, what
has proven to be the greatest bridge in
the world. . He proposed to the board
of directors that the bridge could be
built, and reinforced his arguments with
well drawn plans, showing in all details
the manner in which the structure was
to be built. The result was the com
pany gave him the job of constructing
the bridge.' "'The first work was not in
putting the rails across, but was in the
sinking of the piers, which had to go
down deep into the ground to solid rock,
a job which would have taken one man
from the discovery of America until the
present time to have accomplished if
done alone. The completed structure
was the fulfilment of this young man's
dream. With the lecture the audience
was well satisfied.
The committee having in charge , the
course and who have guaranteed the
payment of any deficiency, are hopeful
that the course may pay out, as 'the
numbers yet to come are especially good
drawing ones.
Mr. Wickersham departed last even
ing on the late Burlington train, by the
way of Pacific Junction for Council
Bluffs, where he will take the train for
his home in Des Moines, having two
days in which he will not deliver a lec
ture, and from then he has not an open
j date until the fore part of May.
