Nebraska today, urging him to persuade John

the morning before election for a campaign
Dryan's trip will wind up with night meet
ing at Omaha. and adds:
Nebraska is in fair political condition
with chances that its electoral vote will be
cast for sound money. This tour on the
2nd of November will probably have some
considerable effect in Bryan's favor. and we
wish to do what we can to check II. Irish 3

the same route as Bryan, speaking at the

Two kilograms were also received from Mr..
Martin. The plans that have been made fol
Colonel Irish, however, can hardly be
altered, and some other speaker will have to
be secured.
In view Of the anxiety Of the Nebraska
gold standard leaders, although it Is their
belief that the state can be saved. it is
practically settled that General Palmer and
General Buckner will go to Omaha, and
possibly to Lincoln, Bryan's home.

CHICAGO, Oct. T-Chairman Hanna of
the republican national committee has sug-
gested flag day in the campaign. He
believes in the efficacy of the display of the
stars and stripes and today promulgated the
following as a suggestion to~good citizens"
The American flag has been in the pres
ent campaign the emblem or insignia of
national honor. Its influence has been for
great good in the cause of the people. It's
display in many places has been potent in
the advancement of the country's battle
for the maintenance of its honor at home
and abroad.
tober 81, all who intend to vote on No
vembcr for the preservation of our ma
tional honor for sound money and the
advancement of our peoples interests and
general prosperity, display the national
colors at their homes, their places of bust
ness and wherever they may be seen, In
order that voters whose hearts are for
their country may be strengthened in their
purpose and those who are undetermined
may the more patriotically and intelli-
gently conclude how best to perform their
duties as citizens. NJ. a. HANNA.
1t is further suggested at the headquarters
of the national republican committee thar
state, county and city committees and clubs
encourage the display of the national flag
on the last Saturday in the campaign in
every part OF the country, especially on
residences, and have flags and bunting on
sale at convenient places for farmers and
others who live in localities remote from
popular trade points and that the display OF
flags and bunting be continued until after
