any reference to tha charge mada by F.dgar

Tha evening waa Mr. Bryan' own, to

habit to talK In the old sophisticated way.
For an hour and thirty minutes almost
he ridiculed, arored, abuaed, made fun of
and poked Jlbn and Joke at the republican
party, the fnlted Stat senate, President
Tuft, Colonel Konsevelt, Speaker Cannon
and everything In any way opposed to the
democratic party.
Towards the close, when the one-time

Badlnaae for the Brewers.
One man asked, "Who carried the elec

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."
"Do you llvo In Nebraska?" queried a
man In the faraway balcony.
"Yes, I do, and I am not preserved in

edlted by Gilbert M. 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

Hitchcock to the L'nited Htates senate will

Kxpresatona of approval for Hitchcock

of his feet. But ever and aguin Mr. Kryun

"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.

democracy alone will be able to relieve the

He asserted tho republican party has
been "winning by the 'aid of corruption

to sell out the American people to the

again the changea were rung on the gen

Then came allusions to republican panics
and what Andrew Jackson would have
done if he had been in Kooaeveit's place

supposition to tatters Uryan came to a
mention of state questions.
"My Interest Is not confined to national

SIOVX FAT,T,. 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"

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.
