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: 81 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. l don't know how 1t may be
elsewhere, but 1t Is not true in this
section. I have been Democrat all
my life, but the free-silver heresy

of the West cannot afford to have

Democratic Congress-of course

ing Democratic-a change would be
inevitable. That 1t would be suici-
dial for our people of the Northwest
to hazard even a remote chance of
a change is evidenced by the fact
that to-day our farmers can borrow

GENERAL LEW WALLACE
OUT FOR MCKINLEY

"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,
Fir. Bryan is responsible. The
thought of electing such a man
as this to the presidency is utter
~ rcpugnant."

General Lew Wallace, of Craw-

quently criticised the Republican
administration, has declared in
favor Of re-electing President
Mckinley. He says:
IT 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.
Gin 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.

WAYNE McVEAGH

Wayne McVeagh, whom Presi-

His reasons are given below:
."The 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 desirableness of having two

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:
son the issue of imperial
ism,' which is 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 a 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-
ing Of a red rag at a bull. The
fear of it would so brighten bust
ness interests as to cause a finan-
cial collapse equal to, IL not
greater in extent to, that of
1893"

good demand, would suffer.
Another objection to Bryan Is
that he is not Democrat.
IT am a moderate expansion
list. Without expansion I be-
lieve that this country would
stand still, just as any large cor
poration does which does not ex-
pand and keep up with the times.
I believe In holding on to every
foot of land that the American
flag flies over, and would not
give up one bit of 1t.
California has been much ben
Gifted by this expansion. Our
trade has grown and Is growing
continually by reason of the pol
icy of the present administra-
ton. I believe that this trade
will keep on expanding if Mr..
Mckinley is reelected. It would
be lost If Mr.. Bryan were
elected"

to the teachings of Mr.. Bryan.
Believing them to be dangerous
and especially detrimental to the
interests of the South, I shall
cast my vote for the first time in
the history of a member of my
family, for the Republican Ma
tional ticket. It seems to

safely committed, but, in my
judgment, the Democratic party
does not at present meet that re-
quirement.
SIT seems to me the present
tendency Of President McKin-
ley's mind as to a foreign policy
can be discerned in the true
American policy he is now pur-
suing in China.
"On the currency question
have always advocated a single
gold standard Of value, and ut
last I find myself in harmony
with the Republican platform on
that subject"

do not believe in denouncing the
Supreme Court; because I be-
lieve in upholding the Supreme
Court. There is no longer a place
in the Democratic party for men
who think like I do. Men like
Hill, who are good Democrats,
are letting things go along and
helping this man in his course to
get rid of him. They think
they know, in fact-that the only
way he can be gotten rid of is to
have him beaten thoroughly.
