tempted to call on thoir subscriber for his 50 but that ho may need it to feed his faco providing his pet candidate is elected Contrary to tho tactics of tho Times Tribuuo this papor not only tries to say something but desires that it be founded on fact and as near as can bo ascertained Mr Owen did support Bryan iu ISMS Tho only danger that now sooms to thi eaten republican succoss all along the
