Some personal response seems te be due

The Chicago platform sanctions the
use Of the appointing power OF the pres

federal judiciary In deciding questions Of
constitutional law. It contemplates
change in the personnel of the supreme
court of the United States to the end
that the recent decision declaring the

when q man 10 told that in orcer to be

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Oct. 13.-William
J. Bryan began early on his actual
work for this weeks campaign. The
special Idler was pulled out of Mime
apolis with the Bryan party aboard at
8 o'clock, and in short time the cit
izens of the small towns on the North
ern Pacific road between the Twin Git
les and Duluth were listening to free
silver doctrine as proclaimed by the
standard bearer of that principle. Ae-
companying Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, be-
sides the regular party, were Charles A,
Towne, the Democratic, Popullst and
Silver candidate for congress from the
Sixth district, j. g. Hayter, candidate
for representative from the First legis.
lative district, Mrs. j. G. Hayter, z,
T. Hudson, John W. Tomlinson of Ala
bama, and Judge J. R. Williams OF
Carmi, Ills Shortly after O'Clock the
little city of Anoka was reached, and
Mr.. Bryan defended the Democratic
platform as much as he could in three
minute speech. He told the several hum
dred people who gathered about the
ear steps that he believed in that plat
form from one end of it to another. He
explained that dear dollar meant hard
times for the producers OF wealth, and
that anyone who believed in hard times
could vote the Republican ticket.
Some Republicans at Elk River.
A similar stop was made at Elk River.
At that place bunch of McKinleyites
had assembled at one end of the depot
platform and cheered long, loud and
plenty for the Republican nominee.
Mr.. Bryan spoke from stand erected
a few feet from the railroad tracks and
made one of his usual two minute
speeches. A majority of the crowd
cheered him and seemed to try to over
come the demonstration of their polit-
ical opponents.
At the little station of Big Lake few
farmers welcomed the nominee, a flag
of large proportions and of home make,
with shovel handle as staff, was
waved enthusiastically i'll front OF Mr.
Bryan by an excited stalwart farmer as
the nominee spoke. Mr.. Bryan said
that this country was large enough to
attend to its own business and that he
did not believe foreign financial pol
icy should be tolerated.
Gave Towne Helping Hand.
The city park of St. Cloud was well
filed when the presidential nominee OF
three parties arrived in that city about,

Mr.. Bryan took occasion to give Charles
