ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD
GREETED HON. ]. h. HOLT.
A MARKED CONTRAST BETWEEN
HIS RECEPTION AND THAT AC-
CORDED ROMEO III. FREER.
THE PERILs OF IMPERIALISM.
DEMOCRACY SPLENDIDLY ORGAN
ICED AND SURE TO WIN IN
BARBOUR.

Special to the Register.
PHIUIPPI, w. Va, October 9.-The
largest and most enthusiastic crowd
ever gathered in Barbour county heard
Hon. John H. Holt speak in the Court
House to-day. Standing room was at
a premium half an hour before he be-
gan, while hundreds hung around the
open windows unable to gain admis-
sion. Although packed in the hall like
sardines the immense crowd listened
intently for two hours while Mr.. Holt,
in a clear, concise and logical man
ner, showed the perils OF imperialism.
He was frequently interrupted by spon-
taneous applause.
Mr.. Hollis reception was in striking
contrast to the one given Hon. Romeo
H. Freer recently. Mr.. Freer spoke here
last Friday, and although he was
we'll advertised and the day was an
ideal one, the seats in the Court House
were not half filled. He worked hard
to create enthusiasm, but only once was
he greeted with applause and that was
started by the man who introduced
him.
The Democrats of Barbour county
were never in better fighting trim. A
splendid organization has been per-
fected.
No dissensions exist anywhere in the
party ranks, and every man is alert at
his post of duty.
The Republican machine is working
hard for supremacy, but the general
ship of Chairman Taft, of the Demo-
cratic executive committee, has match
ed them at every point.
Hon. Stuart H. Bowman, the Demo-
cratic legislative candidate, is making
such a campaign as has rarely been
witnessed in this county Bowman is
a superb organizer, a magnificent cam
paigner and an indomitable fighter. He
is the ideal of the younger element
of the party, by whom his candidacy
has been taken up with much enthu-
siasm, and regardless of party, he com
mands the confidence of the people. The
situation is thoroughly realized by SEN
ator Elkins' henchmen, and they are
making a tremendous effort to stem the
tide of popular sentiment. This is the
home county of Congressman Dayton,
and also of W. B. Corder, the Republic
can senatorial candidate in the Tenth
district, and consequently the county
of Barbour is quite political storm
center.

MURDERER'S CONFESSION

I. w. Keller, Recently Executed in
Oklahoma, Told of Crime Commit
ted Twenty-seven Years Ago.
DANVILLE, Pa, October 9.-The
confession of a murderer in the West
promises to clear up the mystery of
horrible murder which was committed
in this county twenty-seven years ago.
The confession, which Is that of l. w.
Keller, who was recently executed in
Oklahoma, is to the effect that he muir
dered seven persons, among them be-
ing a man at Mausdale, this county.
The news has produced the greatest
excitement in the quiet hamlet for the
twofold reason that a murder was
committed there which has never been
satisfactorily cleared up and that such
a man as l. w. Keller actually lived
in the vicinity at the time, who later
left, and whose whereabouts have since
been unknown.
The murder near Mausdale, up TO
the present day, is known as the "mys-
terry of the mine" In 1873 the body of
Bernard Westdossel was discovered in
an abandoned mine. The evidences of
murder were plain, robbery being the
object. Westdossel, who had been a
lieutenant in the Prussian army, was
studying for the priesthood.

ed from history the part our government
played, the justification for the WARMTH
Spain, the betrayal of the Filipinos and
the unjustifable war against them in
which our treasures of blood and money
are being spent. He said that commercial
gain was the cause of the war and that
the islands may be exploited by the great
corporations and trusts is the reason for
continuing the war. He showed the differ
ence between the expansion of Jefferson,
Monroe and Madison and the Imperialism
of Mckinley, and likened the Imperialism
of to-day to the theeries of Tallyrand.
He closed with an appeal to voters to
wrest this government from the hands of

DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE.
Some Instructions From Mr.. Bryan
That All Should Heed.

That All Should Heed.
MACOMB. ILL.,, Oct. civilian j.
Bryan to-day asked the Associated
Press to make public the following:
The trip would be much easier and
much more satisfactory if the local
committees would observe the request
that has been repeatedly made, namely,
that the place of meeting should be at
the depot, where l can speak from the
rear of the car or from a platform
erected within few feet of the train.
Sometimes a committee insists on a
parade from the depot to the middle of
the town, even when the stop is short
Such a parade not only consumes the
time that might otherwise be used in
speaking, but it adds to the fatigue OF
the journey and then subjects me to
the danger of taking cold. At short
stops it is necessary to speak rapidly
and if l then have to ride a quarter
or a half Of a mile in the carriage.
am chilled before I can reach the car
l am doing all the work that l think
1t safe to do, and l hope that local
committees will recognize this and
hereafter arrange for speaking at the
depots."
