Mr.. Mike Heally, of Fort Dodge, is
no longer quoted by the democratic
press. Last year he was one of their
leading lights. He attended the Bryan
meeting here and was made much of by
our local democrats. Mr.. Heally has
come to the conclusion that he can no
longer remain in party that proposes
to cast aside the fruits of victory, and
to refuse helping hand to the people
we have rescued from Spanish tyranny.
Mr.. Heally might still have been in the
democratic party had it not been for
the tumultous and almost riotous close
OF the last state convention when he
was hooted down by the assembled
SilveriteS.

The Bulletin now uses patent in
side published by the populists of Ne
braska. This is what democracy is
coming to; it might as we'll change its
name as well as its principles. To call
themselves populists would be much
more honest. This popullst patent
used by the Bulletin is filled up with
attacks upon the carrying ON of the
war but there is hardly word OF fresh
news in it, in fact the latest general
news given in Thursdays Bulletin WAS
nearly week old.

Mr.. Fred Brandenburg spent day
or so of this week in Omaha. While
there he witnessed the great Ak-sar.
ben parade, which he says was the most
beautiful he ever witnessed. There
were twenty floats which cost 1926, 900,
and they made splendid display.
Each of the floats represented some
scene of history or mythology. The
decorations were the finest possible.
and taken all in all it was parade of
which any city might be proud. Omaha
has covered itself with glory this year
and is fully entitled to the title of the
