Tlio traveling men who innko Norfolk
thoir home organized a
Traveling Mens club in this city
Saturday ovoning Of the fill traveling
men who live hero Ml havo either joined
this club or signified their intention of
doing so This condition of facta very
emphatically refutes the statement that
has beou made that So per cent of the
Norfolk traveling men will voto for
Bryan
Our action is not wholly unselfish
said ouo of tlio organizers to a Nrws re
porter Wo aro working to hold our
jobs Wo realizo that if Mr Bryan is
elected at least half of us will bo laid off
as the falling olfof trado in our territory
will decrease tlio necessity for our ser
vices and as we nro now all with good
houses and receiving good pay wo do
not want a change Wo aro all so busy
that wo do not havo much timo to at
tend meetings but wo will bo homo on
election day and dont you forgot it
Four years ago many of us did not havo
positions and those of us who did were
not receiving as good salaries as now
Then wo wero more in ovideuco at the
rallies because that was about all wo
had to do buc though wo aro busy this
year we intend to all bo home oil election
day You may say that 5 per cent of
traveling men of Nebraska aro for
McKiuley and others will wish they
had been if ho should happen to bo de
feated I am now talking about travel
ing men with bona fide positions of
whom our club will bo wholly made up
not about barbers and other classes of
people that tho Bryan traveling meus
club is taking to help swell their list of
enrollment
