COLONEL MORTON, DEMOCRAT,
is AFRAID OF BRYAN

Colonel Morton of Fargo, S. D., an
old-time Democrat, is out against
Bryan. He was once on General
Sherman's staff during the civil war
and few years ago was chairman
Of the Democratic State Committee
Of Minnesota. He is now one Of the
leading farmers of South Dakota.
He says: II note that the Demo-
cratic press throughout the country
is claiming the many Democrats
who voted against Bryan in 1896 are
lined up for the free-silver advocate
now. I don't know how 1t may be
elsewhere, but it is not true in this
section. I have been Democrat all
my life, but the free-silver heresy
drove meas it did thousands Of
other lifelong Democrats-to the
support of Mckinley. The farmers
Of the West cannot afford to have
change in our financial conditions.
and with the election Of Bryan and
a Democratic Congress-of course
mean both houses OF Congress be-
ing Democratic-a change would be
inevitable. That it would be suici-
dial for our people Of the Northwest
to hazard even remote chance Of
a.change is evidenced by the fact
that to-day our farmers can borrow
on their rich acres from 40 to so per

ANOTHER COLORADO
PAPER In LINE

The Boulder County (Colo.)
Herald has decided to support
the Mckinley administration.
The Herald left the Republican
party in 1896. It says:
con the issue Of imperial
ISM which is a misnomer, the
Herald believes in standing by
the present administration. It
believes in the light Of events
that the administration is pur-
suing the proper course. It
looks upon the cry Of imperial
ism as foolish play upon
words which should not be in
dorsed at the polls. The Herald
has the highest admiration for
Mr.. Bryan. It believes him to
! be sincere, but it also believes
him to be in error in this in
: stance. Further than that the
cry of free silver still has an eff
feet upon the business interests
of the East similar to the shak-
ling Of a red rag at a bull. The
fear Of 1t would so brighten bust
J ness interests as to cause fnan-
cial collapse equal to, if not
greater in extent to, that of
1893"
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1900-10-24

FINALLY, I am opposed to Mr..
Bryan, as hold him directly re-
sponsible for the death Of every
one Of the brave American sol
diers slain In the Philippines.
It is the encouragement held out
to the rebels by Mr.. Bryan and
others Of his ilk that keeps up
the struggle there. The war was
over, but the sympathy and
promises held out by Mr.. Bryan
have caused the fighting to break
out afresh, and it will from this
time until concluded be fraught
with more disaster to our boys,
for they have slowly and surely
been teaching their adversaries
how to fight. For each man who
falls there, be he inspired by the
sense of duty or the love Of war,
Mr.. Bryan is responsible. The
thought Of electing such a man
as this to the presidency is utter
" repugnant."

GENERAL LEW WALLACE
OUT FOR MCKINLEY

General Lew Wallace, Of Craw-
louisville, Ind, who has fire.
quently criticised the Republican
administration, has declared in
favor Of re-electing President
Mckinley. He says:
II shall vote for Mr.. McKin-
ley, and I shall vote for the en-
tire Republican ticket. I shall
vote for Mr.. Mckinley because
the thought of the election Of Mr..
Bryan is abhorrent to me for sew
eral reasons. In the first place,
hold the man insincere, for no
candidate can take nominations
from three parties without in
tending to fool some one in case
of his election.
"In the next place, Mr.. Bryan's
financial policy is one which, if
put in effect, would bring disas-
ter and ruin on the country.
Free silver is a menace to the
business interests of the country.

MEN Who HAVE DESERTED BRYAN FOR MCKINLEY
WAYNE McVEAGH
CANNOT SUPPORT BRYAN

Wayne Mcveagh, whom Presi-

ter to Italy, has decided to sup
port Mckinley and Roosevelt.
His reasons are given below:
stThe controlling reason Is
the unwillingness I feel to in
trust the government Of the
country to the men who now
represent and control the DEM
ocratic organization, standing as
they do upon the Chicago plat
form Of 1896. I fully appreciate
the disturbances Of having two
great political parties to either Of
which the destinies Of this great
and growing republic can be

safely committed, but, in my
Judgment, the Democratic party
does not at present meet that re-
quirement.
ut seems to me the present
tendency Of President McKin-
1ey's mind as to a foreign policy
can be discerned in the true
American policy he Is now pur-
suing In China.

have always advocated single

last I find myself in harmony

that subject"

tional ticket. It seems to

me to be the very acme Of insin-
