VIII Vote For Bryan for Presi-
dent.
NEW YORK, August 14.-Four years
ago one of the strongest supporters in
New York of the Palmer and Buekr.p
Democracy was Robert B Roosevelt,
the banker. Despite the fact that Mr.
Rposevelt's nephew, Theodore, is he
Republican candidate for the vice
presidency, the Roosevelts have been
Democrats for generations. Robert B.
Roosevelt in 1896 was a Third parry
man. His opinions have changed dur
ing the last four years. He does L Ut
now advocate Third party candidate.
Personally he likes and admires Bryan.
In answer 20 a question he said:
SO far as personal fitness for the
presidency goes, there is no compari
son between Bryan and Mckinley.
Bryan is a strong, sincere, forceful
man, independent in everything and
with firm convictions. Mckinley is
absolutely without a mind OF his own.
He is nothing more than the mouth
piece of the men to whom he owes his
Office. He really doesn't know In the
evening what his opinion will be. in
the morning about anything, unless
he has access to Mark Hanna IL the
meantime.
Il am opposed to imperialism. To
a limited extent | am in favor Of eX-
pansion, but on no such lines as those
the administration works along. Our
treatment of the Porto Ricans II SIM
ply monstrous. | see that my old
friend General Palmer is again advo-
eating the formation of third party
for Gold Democrats. A third party
this year would be waste of time and
energy. The American people have
already decided that the next preSi-
dent shall be named either Bryan or
Mckinley, and no one else.
AS Democrat l looked forward
with great pleasure to the breaking
down of tariff walls which believed
would follow our annexation OF Porto
Rico and our occupation of Cuba No
man with any respect for his country
could ever have imagined this infam-
GUS Republican scheme Of putting our
flag over the Porto Ricans and then
dragging them out from undeo it.
Il am for Bryan in many things.
Theodore Roosevelt's father was
a Democrat. Theodore is a good fell
bw. When man as young as he is has
been so remarkably successful in poll
tics you can cot blame him IL his head

SISTERSVILLE, August 15.-For
some time the board of trade and some
of the prominent business men have
been figuring on the establishment of
large supply manufacturing plant
here, and a number Of meetings have
been held for the purpose of discussing
the matter. Last evening another
meeting was held, and the indications
are that the plant will be located here
and that work on the buildings will be
commenced in very short time,
At meeting held a week ago the
secretary of the board of trade was iu-
structed to investigate the standing of
the people who desire to bring the
plant here. Yesterday very satisfac-
tory reply was received from one OF
the most responsible mercantile agen-
cies, and at the meeting held last even
ing the preliminary steps looking to-
ward securing the location of the plant
here were taken by the members of the
board of trade and the prominent bus
mess men present, and it is believed
there will be little trouble in securing
the amount of subscriptions for stock
which the company asks for. AS soon
as sufficient subscriptions have been
gotten to warrant the commencement
of the construction OF the many large
buildings necessary, the work will be
commenced, and it is the general opin-
ion that the plant will be in operation
before the first of January.
Manufacturing plants are erected
here, and any good, legitimate pro-
moter, backed by responsible people,
can make nice lot of money by COM
ing here. There is plenty of idle money
here, wiling for investment in legiti-
mate enterprises, and the people who
have the money and own the ground
will subscribe literally The city has
many natural advantages to make it a
manufacturing center, and no doubt
the next couple of years will see some
enormous Improvements here. The
city is constantly growing, there being
about twenty new residences in course
Of construction at the present time.

None has ever bossed Theodore and
no one ever will. The Office of Vice
President has heretofore never
amounted to much 1t is regarded as
only the tail of the dog. But with
such a man as Mckinley as the dog
and Theodore as the tail, the dog
would be wagged by the tail, and
Mark Hanna had better be careful
how he steps ON the, tail, too.
