NO FLAG IN HIS RECORD

Bryan may be young. but
he is not untried. He has
served on the most important
committee in congress. He
has met in hand to hand de-
bate the leaders Of Republi-
canism. His actions and life
have been subjected to the
most searching criticism, and
no flaw has been detected. II
he has accomplished so much
at SO, what may rot the nation
expect of him as he enters
middle age?-Exchange.

JoHN X. CowEN's bolt from
the Democratic party did not
create a sensation. If anyone
can tell us when he was a true
Democrat we would be pleased
to have them do so. He has,
in our estimation, always been
against the Democratic party
and only wore the mantle o.
Democracy that he might more
readily aid in causing its de.
feat.

In the hurry and rush of last week In
this office in getting up seven columns
of commissioners proceedings-the
copy of which only came in q few days
previous to our publ cation day-as
might be expected q feWsarrors crept
in which were unavoidable. We re-
print the auditors and treasurer's

printed it S2l 80, when it was 1852. AZ.

There were others, but the worst error,
and N which might give our enemies
an opportunity to misrepresent us, was
making the printing and advertising
$500. 10, when it should have been 1922
80. This sum includes the publication
of the tax list, the cost OF which is reim-
bursed to the county by the delinquent
taxpayers, the publication of the cleo
ton notices, official nominations, and
what other odds and ends Of stationery
we're necessary to run the business OF
the county. We are sorry for the err
rors, but, a Is frequently the case when
too much is crowded into q small space
of time, mistakes are bound to appear.

A dispatch from Vermillion reads as
follows: It will be something Of q

populist. He declares that his views
are not those expressed in the populist
platform, and unless the party declara-
tions are changed to conform to his
IDEAS he could not be thought Of In con
nectiOn with this nomination. Mr..
Lee says that he was always q staunch
republican until q local fight in Clay
county led him to oppose the ticket set
up by the republicans. This was large
~ for personal reasons and was the re-
suit of fancied grievances. Mr.. Lee IL
6power in Clay county and he easily
secured the defeat Of the republican
county ticket. It is unlikely that he
will continue his warfare through
another campaign. He said to me he
had no knowledge that he had been
chosen to head the populist ticket, for
it appeared to him that more attention
had been given to opportioning the
offices according TO nationality rather
than fitness. Mr.. Lee says the Scandi-
navian vote cannot be controlled by
any one man, and he hopes that no
party will be deluded into this belief.
It is clearly apparent that Andy Lees
barrel OF money WILL remain untapped
by the populists.
