OUTLOOK FOR BRYAN Is BRIGHT
Chairman Butler Says the Tide 1.
Rolling In.

Chicago, Oct 13.-A meeting of the
populIst national executive committee
was held at the sherman mouse today 10
consider the question OF fusion In Kansas
anu Colorado over which consldera bic
friction has arisen. It Is probable that
action viii be taken looking toward the
displacement Of some Of the democrat
electors in the states named and putting
pcpu!ist electors In their places. All the
members OF the national executive com
mittee are present except Secretary Ed.
son and Chairman DOrr Of California
senator Butter Of North Carolina.
chairman OF the national populist com
mittee when aske- II Watson would
come out IN a letter opposing the fusion
arrangements made In the west, stated
mat no such letter was expected:
We are all pulling to defeat McKin-
ley, said Butler. and while there Is
some friction over the division Of electors
IN s@yera! states, no action will be taken
that will In the least compromise the
chances Of our ticket. 1t Is sure It will
be adjusted amicably. You can state au-
tHoritiyely that Watson will remain on
the ticket. No thought OF his resignation
Is entertained by u.s.
What do you think 6: she presidential
outlook"
"Bryan's chances are improving every
day. There has been a perceptlbls change
in the las two weeks. one OF the
strongest factors Of tho republican cam
paign IL now one OF Its greatest weak
nesses. and that Is Its prOdlgal use Of
money"
What do you think Of the solution In
IIHnois?"
Illinois ia doubtful. Bryan. however,
can be elected without Illinois, Mlchi-
gan, Minnesota or Iowa. Ohio "a tremb-
ling In its balance. II the sentiment
continues TO grow in our favor In that
state at the rate IL Is now growing, there
Is no doubt that the state will go for
brFaH by large majority. In Kentucky
there Is hard fight. but fusion makes It
safe"

Minneapolis Tribune: 1t was better
than n,any a war drama TO hear E.T.
Cressey who was a private in the I'd
Minnesota Infantry tell go effectively
the story OF the battle OF Chickamauga, ,
1t was highly dramatic and realistic to
follow him. His personal experience in
the battle, his minute detail of the sue
cessive events. his recital of the man
elvres, and description Of the desperate
Fl ghting in the great hattie held the au-
dience in the closest attention.

Another deplorable result of the drink
habit was very forcibly presented to the
community this week, the responsibility
tor which does not res, alone on the
victim, but is divided also between the
consciousness individuals, who in the face
Of the law carry on their illegal traffic,
ana the community which quietly per-
mits them to do it. On Monday eveniD &
Mr. Y. Fisher, who had deem indulging
in liquor, lost his footing and fell on the
sidewalk, breaking his leg just above th e
ankle. The fracture was su ch bad one
that at consultation OF ph ysicans it was
found to be necessary to amputate the
foot, which was accordingly done Tues
day morning, and since the patient has
been doing as vel! as could be expected
under the circumstances One of the
features OF the occurrence is that the
man who met with the accident had
something over one hun ired dollars in
wages earned and pension money on
his person when he left home, and when
he returned had but 8l2 OF it left,
what became OF the balance may be
conjectured. The incident is simply
one OF the many object lessons which
are being constantly presented OF the
drink business, and should awaken our
people to a sense Of their responsibility
in permitting an outlawed business to
work havoc in their midst.
