"AN AMERICAN COMMONER" "The Life and Times of Richard Parka Bland" Is a study of the last quarter of the Nineteenth Century, as it explains the first ten years of the Twentieth Century. Lf. you wish to understand the Ualted States this year, read this book. It was written from the papers of Richard Parks Bland, with Eersonal Reminiscences by Mrs, Bland and with am Introduction by William Jennings Bryan. The Editor, William Vincent Byarii included in it -as n appendix, the great speeches in which Mir. Bland outlined the course of events The, 400 paes of the work snow that as the champion of American Democracy Mr. Bland's knowledge is now more essential Jhaa that of amy one else for understanding. WttAtt IT IS M OBI? ESSKNTIAI4 TO KNOW ABOUT TJEOa PRBSKNT The work is sold exctusiYely for the benefit of Mr. Bland's widow Mra. Virginia M.

Governor Wilson's prompt rejection, at tho Baltimore convention, of the counsel of politi cians who would have had him to take his stand with men, who sought to control that convention for special iinterests and his hearty support of Mr. Bryan's efforts to elect a progres sive democrat as temporary chairman of tho Baltimore convention, com mends him to progressive citizens everywhere, as a man who may be depended upon to gtvo genuine battle for democratic principles. "We heartily indorse the national platform adopted at Baltimore and the state platform adopted at Grand Island. We pledge our efforts, now and in the future, not only to tho selection and election of candidates who stand-upon those platforms, but to the establishment of and main tenance of a party organization com posed of men, who believe in the principles and the policies therein enunciated. "We point with pride to the splen did record made by Nebraska's dis tinguished citizen, William J. Bryan, the "hero of Baltimore" he has fought his way into the hearts of democrats everywhere and has won the confidence and respect of Ameri cans regardless of political preju dice. Confident that he will lead his party along real democratic paths, fighting at every turn for "the greatest good to the greatest num ber," we pledo anew to Mr. Bryan and the great cause ho represents, our keen sympathy and active support." An editorial in the Lincoln, Neb., Journal says: Minnesota voters at the coming primary will practice second choice voting for the first time, as will be the case also in Wis consin. There will be a double column of squares,, . the first for marking a first choice for any par ticular nomination, a second for marking second choice. Plurality nominations will thus be prevented. If no candidate receives a majority of first choice votes the low man is eliminated and the second choice votes of those who voted for him are added to the first choice votes of the remaining candidates till one re ceives a majority. The result is the same as if a second primary were held. This system is needed under any primary law. The trouble with it, if there is any, will lie In the large number of candidates to be voted for. In Minnesota this is about the same as in Nebraska. This calls for the short ballot as a supplementary reform. Montana democrats have nomi nated the following ticket: United States senator T. J. Walsh, Helena; representatives in congress, Thomas Stout, Lewistown, and John M. Evans, MiBsoula; governor, Samuel V. Stewart, Virginia City. Joseph E. Davies, secretary of the democratic national committee of western headquarters made an nouncement of his corps of assis tants, as follows: Organization! bureau Senator Thomas P. Gore. Senatorial bureau Senator James A. Reed. Publicity bureau Frank B. Lord. Western finance committee Chairman, Charles R. Crane. Assistant western treasurer E. M. Grossman. Speakers' .bureau Representative A. S. Burlesoai Labor department Martin J Wade. ,- ,r , Young men's clubs Dudley Field' Malone. A Boston dispatch, carried by. the United Press;, days: William M". Wood, pre8identu'-?ofh;.the- American Woolen companyj,x)ne,of the largest textile concerns in tho world and equallr prominent as the leadinir spirit In th textile industry of the United States, surrendered himself to Inspector Thomas J. Lynch, of po lice headquarters, who read to Wood an indictment charging conspiracy In connection with the "planting" of dynamite in foreigners' houses at Lawrence last winter for the alleged purpose of injuring the cause of mill operatives who were on strike there. Wood went to police headquarters at 10 o'clock in company with for mer Congressman Samuel Powers, who probably will act as his counsel! He was at the headquarters but a few minutes going directly to the court's building across the street to be arraigned. According to an ar rangement previously made with the district attorney's office Wood promptly furnished $5,000 bail to keep from going to jail with Dennis J. Collins, the Cambridge dog fan cier,, who was indicted and arrested at the time the Woods indictment was returned to Judge Pratt. Besides being president of tho American Woolen company, which owns the Wood, Ayer and Washing ton mills at Lawrence, Wood is presi dent and treasuror of the National and Providence Worsted mills, in Rhode Island; director of the Mer chants National bank of New Bed ford, Mass., and member of the na tional association of wool manufac turers and the home market club. He was also a member of the association when met in Washington in the win ter of 1908, 1910-11 to advocate re tention of the president's tariff board and to boost schedule K of the fa mous Aldrlch-Payne tariff law which was then perhaps the main issue be fore the country, and was one of the important factors of the famous rules fight, which resulted In the re moval of Cannon from the speaker ship of tho house. Wood is the biggest man in the wool Industry of the world. He draws a salary of $100,000 accord ing to current reports. Although the company of which he is the head does not own all the mills at Lawrence, Wood's domination of the woolen trade of the country Is frankly ad mitted, as he formed the woolen trust. He is a multi-mllllonalre and has a magnificent estate at Andover, Mass., and a palatial home In Fair field street, Boston. His offices are in the Shawmut bank building in this city. Wood is the son of a Portuguese immigrant and he started work in the New England mills as an opera tive. His rise was rapid and remark able. After becoming superinten dent and active head of several mills at Lawrence, Wood married a daugh ter of the man who made a fortune out of a medicine he patented. As a witness in a civil suit last winter testified that he did not know how many automobiles he owned. The third man said to have been indicted with Wood and Collins is a big New England mill owner. He is unable to appear to answer to the reported indictment4 at this time but through counsel he has made ar rangements to surrender himself at the earliest opportunity. Wood was in Now York when in dicted and in response to a long dis tance telephone call from District Attorney Pelletier expressed willing ness to come hack at onco to answer tho conspiracy indictments. After he had been released on bail, Wood made the following statemont: "I am greatly surprised by the ac tion of the grand Jury. I can not conceive what information could have been presented to the Jurors which In any way connected mo with (the sorcalled dynamite 'plot. I cer tainly had no cbnnectibn with it ana this fact will be fully established at the proper time to the satisfaction . WKM JjBallOjstL
