Thomas O'Brien of San Francisco,
one of the most prominent Irish
American republicans on the Pacific
coast and a leader in the Irish nation
alist movement, will take the stump

won a great reputation rs an orator
and will be powerful acquisition to

for forty years strong republican,
says: Mckinley and Mark Hanna
and whenever say Mckinley I mean
Mark Hanna-have served an injunc-
tion on the United States constitution,
restraining it from operating. They
say it is old and worn out, that with
the progress of events newer and
more modern document is needed for
the guidance of the nation. And in
order to enforce this idea they have
secured a standing army of 100000
men. Such an army would not be
needed if Mckinley were willing to
abide by the constitution and avoid
entangling alliances and unjust for
eign war;"
William P. Myers of 1853 Arlington
place, Chicago, one of the three sur
yiving delegates of Illinois to the first
republican national convention, says

Six thousand Quakers of Ohio, at
their yearly conference, last week,
adopted minute to the purport that
all Friends should vote against the
republican party because it has put
on it's ticket imam of blood" like
Roosevelt, and because President Nc
Kinley is waging needless war for the
benefit of trade on the helpless people
in the Philippines.
The Quakers, Amish Brethren, Ger
man Baptists, and Campbellites Of the
West have been frightened out of the
republican party by Roosevelt's
bloody-bridle speeches.

Rev. Job Ingram of Kingfsher, Ok, ,
has written a letter to Rev. J. D. Bot
kin of Winfield, Kan, announcing his
conversion to democracy. Imperial
ism, the Porto Rico tariff and the ad-
ministration's sympathy with Great
Britain he assigns as the causes of
his changed views.

county, Kansas republican committee,

DR.. H. z. Leonard, consul to Cliff
ton Falls, Canada, under Pres. Har-
rison, says: II am for Bryan heart
and soul, and shall do all in my power
to aid in his election. Mckinley has
been failure. He has no backbone,
and is completely under the domina-
tion of the trusts.''

J. Ehr1ich, one of New York's prom
inent business men, has been a staunch
republican all his life Because he
believes that the republican party is
responsible for criminal trusts he in
tends to support the democratic can
didates.
"The middle Glass; said he, "has
always been the'heart, brain and char
acter of the country, and now, under
the present system of concentr alton OF
great wealth in the hands of few, is
daily becoming less of a factor in this
country. Not only do the trusts con-
troll the great Industries of the coun-
try, but they are by bribery and COR
ruption controlling the different state
legislatures, congress and the United
States senate, and, in the last presi-
Dental campaign, bought the presi-
dency. Furthermore, these criminal
trusts in many cases control the judi
ciary OF the nation. This can only be
avoided by the election of Bryan, who
can be depended upon and trusted as
Lincoln was"
