Fremont Tribune : Did W. J. Bryan
use Mike Harrington's campaign thun
der svhen ho was whirled over this con
gressional district for a week's speak
ing tour before election ? An O'Neill
man who was In the city today de
clares that ho did. Before Bryan wont
to O'Neill and other towns , declares
this man , Mike Harrington eloquently
llKciiKsed the campaign Issues. Later
Mr. Bryan's special stopped at the
same towns and the great commoner
spoke. Hd disappointed the crowds
localise ho only repented what Har
rington had said a few days before.
Even the jokes and Biblical stories
were applied as Mike Harrington used
them. The Joke , however , Is being
turned on Mr. Harrington. This comes
from his attendance upon the Bryan
rallies that were held at Wahoo and
Fremont before Bryan reached O'Neill.
