Tha evening waa Mr. Bryan' own, to uaa aa he pleased, and he Indulged hid old habit to talK In the old sophisticated way.

One man asked, "Who carried the elec toral vole of Nebraska to Washington in 189?" "The democratic father of a republican brewer," shouted the orator, and almost breathlessly ha continued. "And he was In favor of the Initiative and referendum plank that I prepared at that time, while now the brewers are all opposed to the Initiative and referendum." "Did you not seoure your first congres sional nomination by the vole of twenty eight liquor men?' was another question. "Yes, sir, and In 1890 I was opposed to state prohibition and voted against It. I am opposed to it now. If we can secure a county option law. But whan I got the support of the liquor men I did not promise that never afterward would I be a man."

Hitchcock 8econd On December 28, 1893, In the wake of the disastrous panic, when neither banks nor bankers were making new loans to anybody, G. M. Hitchcock came to G. W. Wattles In the Union National bank with a letter from Bartley mana claim to the democratic nomination telling him to let Hitchcock have $3,000 of the money on deposit to Bartley's for sovernor an old man near the plat form Intimated that Bryan got his three nominations for the presidency in the same way. The Lincoln chautauquan looked puuled for a momen, but asserted, "1 sot my nominations from the democrats." "The members of what Mr. Bryan called " a private committee" aat with him on tie platform, and C. O. Cunningham Intro duced him as "the greatest moral teacher tha world has seen In BOO years." He wan given a warm reception by probably half the audience that crowded the arena floor and the boxea and half filled the balcony. Mr. Bryan atarted off by expressing re gret that he waa compelled to speak under the auspices of a private committee and at once denounoed "the tyranny and des potism of the liquor interests that now control the democratic party." He was there, he said, to apeak for every demo cratic candidate for national office and for vsry state candidate below the governor. Strong for llttoaoock. "I am more Interested in the election of the six candidates for congress than they are themselves," he declared, "and I do not know or care what ambition he may Cherish, but the election of Uilbert M Hitchcock to the L'nited Htates senate will rejoice me mora than it will himself or bis friends. Kxpresatona of approval for Hitchcock and lxbok were frequent and were empha sised by slapping his hand and stamping of his feet. But ever and aguin Mr. Kryun shot In criticisms and denunciations of Heosevelt.

This term waa uaed frequently and always the re publican party was held up aa the unfaiU icg supporter and beneficiary of those Interests. Manor Qnestiun I. oval lsane. "I do not make Uiffeient speeches in different parts of the country account and to take Hitchcock's note for the same. To accommodate Mr Hitchcock, then to him a total stranger, Mr. Wattles drew a check to himself for $3,000 (Exhibit 1) and then and there endorsed it over to Mr. Hitchcock, who later wrote his name on the back of It and had It cashed In. (Exhibit 2). Third The chock, presumably Sunday and New Year's day intervening, was presented atad paid January 1, 1894, being stamped with the dater and marked, "Charge account J. S. Bartley, Treas." (Exhibit 2). Entries on the books of the bank are said to correspond. Fourth The note for $3,000 given by Mr. Hitchcock December 28, 1893, was as per "arrangements," Immediately endorsed over to Bartley by Wattles without recourse. Fifth Having got the money by means of Bartley's letter, Hitchcock two days later, on December SO, 1891, wrote) to Bartley expressing hiB gratitude as follows: (Exhibit 6). OMAHA, Neb. Dec 80. Dear Bartley: I got yonr letter and arranged the matter as suggested with Mr. , whom I had not previously, met, but who impresses me as a very strong, clear-headed business man. Thank you. Do you advise m to take steps in the direction you suggested about a special train, or will you speak first? O. M. H. Sixth Observe that Hitchcock says he "had not previously met Mr. Wat tles " Ohswrva that he savs nothine about a second mortgage security. Ob serve that he says "Thank yon" to BarUey, not "Thank you" to Wattles. Seventh The note that Hitchcock gave for $3,000 borrowed from Bart ley in 1893 matured and became past due. It was renewed finally September 25. 1895 (Exhibit 8). with the same endorsement without recourse (Exhibit 4) on the back. Eighth Then after the loan had run two years does the worthless second mortgage for the first time appear. Hitchcock acquired from Wattles by some sort of trade a piece of real estate subject to a $10,000 first mortgage To cover up the deal with Bartley a worthless second mortgage for $3,000 was made out and recorded again In the name of Wattles, who, however, had no Interest in it. . Ninth Although within a few months after the note became due, Bartley proved to be a defaulter and was sent to the penitentiary for failing to turn over the state's money loaned to Hitchcock, Hitchcock made no effort to pay either principal or Interest. Bartley waa In prison when the note outlawed and he was In prison, also, when the foreclosure suit was instituted. Tenth When Bartley, after liberation, demanded repayment of the note Hitchcock repudiated the debt, which now, with interest, amounted to nearly $5,000, setting up the statute of limitations, and then through Metcalfe com promised it for about 10 cents on the dollar. congressman, and once more strenuously urged that republicans and democrats alike should vote for Hitchcock for senator. "What a spectacle," exclaimed Bryan, after reading an allesed utterance of the former president In Indiana, "to find Mr. Hoosevelt confessing publicly that he was only I years old when his party quit mak ing Its fight on clean, decent issues. He ought to take a day off and explain how ills party won in recent years when he was vitally concerned In the result." Hoait for the Kepnbllcaos. "The republican leaders are under the control of the predatory Interests," he sol eninly declared, "and the people are altli us." Again he boosted Hitchcock and Lo beck and awerted they are the men to maintain state rights against the projected encroachmenta of Hoosevelt and Taft In favor of cwtttrallxatlon. He also told his hearers he knew sixteen years ago Uie republican party was working for the es tabllshment of a central bank; likewise that the, president and his advisers are against the Income tax, regulation of the railroads and return of the tariff. 11 ha sajd: i ridicultd the tariff commission as a state committee has not yet found It out." Here Mr. Bryan repeated the opening paragraphs of his Washington hall speech, delivered some time a so, and sailed into -Mayor Dahlman. "I cannot support him without doing my party a great wrong and my state an Irreparable Injury." Producing his manusorlpt, Mr. Bryan said he had written out Ids views on the liquor question and would read thaiu. He started to, but what he said In between brought out remarks and questions which created about the only excitement of tho evening. then half-way apologised tor campaigning In certain states by saying he had found "in some states wheie I have spoken the liquor question Is a !.ul issue. Before I waa 30 my father died, but be left me one piece of advice I have never forgotten. hat 1 can afford to be la a minority, but '. ran never afford to be wrong. There Is one Imu that overtops all triers," he exrlxinted, standing on his toes. "That is the struggle between the organised few who don. and privlltges and favors and the unoiKumxed many who demand only luktKe and equal opportunity. It Is the Tight between aristocracy and democracy, nd democracy Is growing stronger all over Hit wiid." Here Mr. llryan seemed to be takiii a leaf out of Mr. iJahlman's book, but lie again cut lose a flood of moralizing nail scathing cilUclMn, giving the leadera edit for being wlee but utterly unscrupu- JIIS.

"A fool can't fool us." he said, "in en loisiux certain elemental tulugs that Mr. Kooeelt stands for," and won applause y concluding, "If a mail t.ann't any sense he tellg us about it." In tin comievnon tie also spoke sarcaualiy of "twlatcJ thinkers" and again got ba-n co the armto riata He laid a diagiain of eloquent aords to prove U. M. Hitchcock Is not an s.istocial end has no sinplliy with that element. Then he built up an oratorical ci uri-eie ef good chaiaoter for tu edlto dreiimy, impossible thing, and insisted the democracy alone will be able to relieve the people of their burdens. He asserted tho republican party has been "winning by the 'aid of corruption funds," and said, ' I could have been eluded every time I ran if we had been willing to sell out the American people to the predatory interests, aa the republican party has always done. Even some pro gressive republicans stand for things that I consider a menace to the people." and again the changea were rung on the gen eral cuhsrdnesa of those who have de feated him in three campaigns. Instancing Maine, Mr. Bn an expressed the confident belief that the people will give a heavier majority in congress at this election than a as the case in 1;'.. "When Maine has repudiated It, Nebraska cannot afford to indorse the Payne-Aldrlch bill." sneered at State Committee. Then came allusions to republican panics and what Andrew Jackson would have done if he had been in Kooaeveit's place tn 1907, and when he had threshed this supposition to tatters Uryan came to a mention of state questions. "My Interest Is not confined to national questions alone," he said. "I am a citljrn of Nebraska" The oratorical flourish ac- compsnvtng this assertion brought cheers and lie continued, aith set Hps: BKOWt CT.OKK.

"My friends, when you go to the polls and vote the socialist ticket on election day," Mr. Wright said, "you think you will be voting for me as governor of Ne braska, but that Is a mistake. You do not vote for the man at ail you vote for socialism. Republicans fancy they are voting for Aldrlch but they are voting for the policies of the republican party. Democrats fancy they are voting for Dahlman, but they are voting fur the doctrine of the present day democratlo party. "No great victory Is won spontaneously. not suddenly.

No socialist can do that and get away with It, and no true socialist will seek by law to hold an office it his peo ple do not want him to hold It." Mr. Wright touched upon county op tion, declaring the question to be what are we going to do for food, clothing and shelter, rather than what are we going to do for liquor. "The real Issue," he said, "is whether the corporations or the people are to own and control our hornee, our utilities, our resources and our gov ernment. Mr. Wright was frequently applauded.

P. t , Nov. - (Special With the election only a short time aay both the republicans and democrats of South Dakota are making a final effort to arouse their voters to the Importance of Tuesday's election, when a full congres sional and stste ticket, two members of the state supreme court and a legislature will be elected. The republicans continue confident that they will elect their entire state and con- Ktosslnnal ticket by a majority over the democrats of not less than .. It Is ex pected that the majority for some of the republican candidates will run above 20,000. The democrats claim that they yet have a good fighting clianca of electing the governor and their two nominees for congress, although they realise that In order to do so they will have to capture the votes of thousands of republicans. Their campaign is in a peculiar condition. Their nominee for governor throughout the campaign haa been making a special plea for the votes of the stalwart repub licans, being opposed gy Governor Vessey. progressive republican, while the two democratlo nominees for congress, being opposed by Congressmen Martin and lltirke, who hsve affiliated with the stal wart republicans, have been making a spe cial plea for the suport of progressive republicans. This sort of a csmpalgn has not per mitted the three nominees to concentrate their efforts, and this may prove a weak ness which will havo an important effect at the election on Tuesday. The three democratic nominees have been In the field campaigning for several months, while not until the last month or six weeks haa the republican campaign been carried on In an aggressive manner. However, the republicans early In the season decided to make the campaign short and brisk, and this plan has been fully followed out. During the last month or six weeks numerous speakers have been in the field under the direction of the state campaign committee, and have made ad dresses In all parts of the state. Cam paigner also have been at work tn the various counties under the direction of republican oounty campaign committees. It haa been difficult until quite recently to arouse the voters, and this is taken as a good omen by the republicans, who con strue It to mean that the voters of the state generally are satisfied wi tli the present republican state management and therefore, will not become excited over the efforts of the democrats to defeat some of the republican nominees. Tat Oonn-resslonal Sltn&tlon. Much Interest has been taken throughout the campaign In the fight between the two republican and the two democrat nominees for congress. Congressmen Burke and Martin have been singled out by the dem ocrats and a desperate fight has been waged against them, they being the re publican nominees for re-election. In answer to the appeals of the two dem ocratio nominees for the votes of pro gressive republicans, the republicans reply that to displace men occupying the com manding position on committees that Con greasroen Burke and Martin do, and who are lit close touch with the national admin istration, with the democratlo nominees for congress, would be little less than a orirae against Bouth Dakota and its people. "Supposing," for the sake of argument," say the republicans, "that tbe democratic nominees for congress were elected next Tuesday, what would result? They would go to Washington on the basis of new men. They would, being democrats, be assigned among the minority members on unimportant committee, where they would be effectually sidetracked and placed In a position where they could do absolutely nothing for their state. "Then, too, President Taft's term will extend over tbe next two years, and demo cratlo congressmen could not expect any favors at the hands of a republican presi dent. The democratic candidates for con gress. If eleoted, would be able to do Utile else than draw their salaries and to all Intents and purposes the grand and grow ing young state of South Dakota would be unrepresented in congress during the coming two years." The republicans further say that lnas much sb Congressmen Martin and Burke occupy commanding positions on some of the most ln.portana committees, and being familiar as the result of their many yeaia experience with tbe routine, they will dur ing the next two years be In a belter po sition than ever to do effective work In be halt of South Dakota and Its people. uunng tne coming two years, with a continuance of the great development of western South Dakota and the building- up of the eastern part of the state, there will be numerous opportunities when live con gressmen, such as Messrs. Burke and Mar tin? will be able to secure additional bene fits of value and Importance fur Houtb. Da kota. Flaht A gainst Coanty Option. Those who believe that county option would not reduce the volume of Intoxica ting liquor drank In the state, but would reduce the Income of the various cities, towns, villages and counties, continue to wage a hard light against the proposed county option law which la to be sub- mutea to tne voters oi foutn uaKota on Tuesday. A similar measure waa defeated by the voters of Houth Dakota two years ago, and those who are pushing the fight against county option In this campaign continue confident that county option will be delated by a larger majority this year than It wad two years ago. If tha county option proposition should carry at the coming election it Immedi ately becomes one of the state's statutes, without any further action on the part of the legislature. In brief, the proposed law provides that the county commissioners shall, upon a petition of at least 'At per cent of the electors of a county, call a special election for the purpose of voting upon the question of "wet" or "dry'" for the entire county. If the county goes "wet" the law remains as at present the towns, cities or town ships are not "wet" territory unless they vote that way at their spring elections. If, on the other hand, the county as a whole votes "dry" then no vote can be had upon the llceme quetsion in any town, city or township in the county. 1 n other words, should tiie proposition carry and a particular county vote "wet." the cities, towns and townships in that county could not Issue licenses for mloons unless a ma jority of the voters of the cities, towns and townships in the county voted "wet" at the April elections. strt cclinir f.r lire, scontim: for help, but sk.vUy slnkiiu,' Into soft mud coveie.l by a thin sheet of Icy natcr.

At S o'clock last night Mrs. Cotinets was walking along the Northw t stein rail road tracks hcti she heard the shouts for help coming from the hike.

At the corner of Main street and P.roadwav tl.ey met Chief of Police l-'room and told him the story. The chief knew that Kee line and Kenny Henderson hud gone to the lake In Keollne's Iuiskv about 4 ; o'clock. J K. Wilcox's automobile was pressed into service and driven at IiIbIi speed to ths lake. When they reached the park cottag at the south end of the lake they found Henderson sitting In Keelnie's buqey. told them that nearly two hours befors Keellne had started to walk around the laM and that he had heard him shoot several tin es, hut fur moic than an hour had heard no sound. The olficers Jumped into one of the pars boats and were starting up the lake with lanterns when they heard a shout coming frt.m the northward, up the tiack. (iotnu in that direction they found Kanline being helped along by Mrs. Conner and a man who hsd rescued him. Mrs. Conner had not waited for help to come from the vity, but run to the neigh bur's house and told him tho story she had telephoned to the police. The man. Whose name has not vet been learned. scixed a coll of rope and ran to tho Kpot pointed out. Far out in the water, with hi- head Just visible, ho could sen the outlines of the Jrownlng man. The rope waa thrown and fell within the grasp of Keellne, who got It under his arms and was dragged from the muddy depths. Keellne was taken Into the park cottage. his muddy clothes stripped off and dressed In a suit belonging to the park custodian. He was then wrapped In blankets and taken In the automobile to his home on Frank street. He' was so completely ex hausted by Ills long struggln and so be numbed by the cold that he was unable, to stand, but late last night waa rapidly recovering. Mr. Keellne had started to wade across the northern end of the pond where It in quite narrow. He had only gone a short instance until he sank above his hips in the soft mud. Ills struggles to release) him self only caused him to sink, deeper and he began shouting for help and firing hit gun. Henderson, at tho other end of the lake, a mile away, heard the shots, but not the shouts. Keellne continued to sink slowly but steadily. His dog swam to him and tried to save him. Keellne had placed his gun lengthwise as a support for his body and this helped a little in arresting his descent. Mr. Keoltnn returned Friday evening from his wedding trip, following ills marriage, a month ago. Iowa fni Notes. IOWA (MTV R. .1.
