Mr.. Denby's Reasons

her Of the first commission to the
Philippines lifelong Democrat
has written letter urging the re-
election Of President Mckinley 1t is
entitled 'Bryad's Attitude Toward
the Philippines, and is made pubic
by the Republican national commit
tee. The letter, in part, is as follows;
"In his speech Of April H. 1900 in
the senate, Mr.. Hoar said that he
could not forget that Mr.. Bryan
unless be is much misrepresented'
used all bis power and influence with
those OF bis friends who are ready TO
listen to bis counsels, to secure the
ratification Of the treaty meaning
the Paris treaty.
"There were seventeen Democratic
senators who voted for the ratitca'
ton. A two.thirds majority wa'
necessary. The treaty was ratlheo
by one vote.

Mr.. Credentials Record.

Mr.. Breidenthal, Fusion nominee
for governor, recently referred to his
record Of quarter Of a century's|
service in the cause Of humanity"
Frank Montgomery reviews this hui
manitarian record somewhat to Its
encouragement. He says The first
that ever was heard Of him in Kansas
was through his connection with the
Topolobampo socialistic colony. The
failure of this experiment was so COM
plete and the sufferings OF its poor
victims so severe that every leader
connected with it got certain degree
Of notoriety. This was the introduce
tion of Mr.. Breidenthal to Kansas,
and his services to humanity in this
regard need no exploitation or COM
mentary. The next heard OF Mr.
Breidenthal in Kansas affairs was
when Governor Lewelling appointed
him bank commissioner in 1898. He
has held this office ever since, draw
ing a big salary from the people and
returning for it such services as the
place required. No one ever heard
NJ an act Of unostentatious charity on
the part of John Breidenthal in all his
life. His name has never appeared
among the givers OF life means to the
moor. Aside from attending to bis
official duties he apparently has taken
no part in social or community affairs
except to organize one Of those "r0O'
bling corporations" which his party
platforms have denounced so vehe'
mently.
But possibly Mr.. Breidenthal thinks
bis services as q politician entitl'
him to be considered servant OF hu
manity. In the earlier days the POI
party did pretend to be the party o
disinterested patriots. 1t used tt
shout a good deal about human right
and its mission Of striking of th'
chains Of slavery. But everybod!

Why Bryan Did Not Go!

1t is announced today that Bryan
will not 60 to the G. A. R. encamp-

far to seek. Read thisfrom Mondays

who is the man who would say,
Thus far shall you 60 and no fur
ther?'" cried General Daniel Z.
Sickles to 5000 people in the Coliseum
last night. "Who is he and what is
his name?"
bryan, Bryan" was the answer
and the audience at the opening ex'
ercises Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public encampment burst into . great
laugh Of derision at the man who
would stay the progress Of the stars
and stripes.
1.-THE flag" continued General
Sickles, twill never cease to float
over Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines. No human being now living
will ever see that starry banner come
down"
Then the great crowd burst into a I,
tempest Of applause and cheered and
cheered again.
The chances are that had Mr.. Bryan
gone before an audience Of old SOL
diers and delivered one Of bis tag
iurling addresses that be would have
had one OF the hottest times In BIZ
history.
William was wise not to 60.

John Breidenthal was called down
at his meeting in Stockton the other

denunciation OF corporations, and
charged that the railroads forced
their employees to vote as the manag-
ers wished. III they do not do so,"
said Mr.. Breidenthal, "they are dis

Travelling Men and Bryan.
bich is telling the truthP

The Democrats have claimed that
a majority Of the travelling men OF
Kansas would support Bryan. The
Pops Of Marion county have claimed
that their ticket would be supported
BY W. A. Bauslin and I. L. Bauslln
Of Peabody, two Of the best known
men on the road. When asked ABOUT
IT one OF these men remarked; Eyes,
it is reported by Peabody Pops that
nv brother and l will support Bryan
but there is not a word OF truth IN H.
We will support Mckinley and vote to
retain our jobs. 1t is my opinion
that the United States needs q kepup-
lican administration during the next
four years more than it has needed II
since 1861"
"What proportion OF the travelling
men will vote for Mckinley as, far as
you are personally iniormed'' Mr.
Bauslin was asked.
"In reply to that said that gentle
man, 81 will say that ! am MEMBER
Of the Wichita camp Of the United
Commercial Travellers. A poll oil the
membership was taken two weeks age
and it showed out Of the total Of 2Sc
| members that 179 were for Mckinley
forty were for Bryan, while nineteen
were classed as doubtful. And" he
added with a look Of disgust, ~ wa'
| in the doubtful column.
Mr.. Bauslin continued: "Why
should vote for Mckinley? Their
are now upon the road more travellne
men than there has been at any othe'
time for ten years. | am receiving
this year $500 more than received
last year and my brother Is getting
better salary by 5000 than he receives
last year. The trusts are not to b

fall OF their own weight when the

almost every day. The great Tobacco

That means the withdrawal OF our

That means the maintenance in

TO what international complica-
