his explanation of his inexplicable ST.,

Listen now to Teddy the chastened,

whether they were democrats or re-.

ers and sponsors of that platform

This all reads very nicely. But ma

You will see that here most explicit

support and ask support for the Kan

cans. In short, l feel that the Kan

followers have forfeited the right to
appeal to any democrat who is keenly
sensitive to the national HONOR
Which all goes to prove that he
probably did mean it. To quote the
apt phrase of a famous republican,

patriotic citizens, how would you like
such a man for vice president, or
shades of Washington, Jefferson and
Iincoln-for president? The very
thought is appalling. Let us close the
chapter upon Roosevelt and his folly.
Republican Misrepresentation.
The hostility of the Typographical
unions to w. B. Conkey & Co. has
again found it's way into politics. The
republican papers have been deliber-
ately misstating the matter. The
facts are these: A week ago a rep
resentative of the democratic national
committee went to Milwaukee to ex-
plain to the international Typograph-
zeal union, which was meeting there,
the fact that MIR. Bryan had no con-
nection with the book which the
Conkey company is now putting out
under the title "llhe Second Battle y
This book is made up of clippings
from the speeches of different promi-
nent democrats, is purely the work of
shears and has been repudiated by
practically every democrat or populist
whose name is used in the advertise
ing matter as one of the joint authors.
Mr.. Bryan himself has no interest
in the book, and is represented only
by uncopyrighted articles, which

Last Friday Senator Jones was APP
preached by a representative of the
Conkey company, who,.; without say

his firm was the most notori-
GUS antagonist of organized la
Dor in the country, showed to
the senator copy of the book and
asked for an Endorsement. The sen.
ator wrote a formal letter, saying
that the arrangement and selection of
the material seemed to be very we'll
done. Senator Jones said Yesterday:
