Despite the fact that Mr.. Bryan and
every leading Democratic paper in the
country has exposed Gov. Roosevelt's
duplicity In claiming that the Demo
cratic members of Congress were in
favor of continued large standing
army because they voted for the bill
to increase the army to 100000 men,
the strenuous candidate is still going
about the country repeating this mis-
representation, using 1t in his speech
at Akron today. The bill for which
the Democrats voted was q compromise
measure which provided that in order
TO help the Administration carry on
its war the standing army might be in
creased to 100000 men until next year,
when the force Is to he reduced to it's
former limit Of 25,000 mon, But for the
opposition Of the Democrats the stand
ing army would have been increased
to 100000 men for all time, instead of
being reduced to one quarter that num-
ber after the occasion for the increase
had passed away, But IL the people
vote to endorse the policies Of the pres
ent Administrator, and elect Repub.
llCan House Of Representatives, the
standing army will be increased per-
manently to 100000 men, or to any
number In excess of that sum which
the privileged interests and bene
fciaries of the Administration may
deem necessary.

TRIANGULAR
Deal Said to be On.
Three Parties After
Valuable Property.
Opera House Looks Like
a Certainty.
Millionaire J. H. Ketchum May
Invest.
A Large Sum In a Play House In
This City.

A great many Opera House schemes
have been conceived within the past
few years and just as many nave gone
glimmering into the irrevocable past
However, a combination of circum-
stances at the present time points to
the erection of modern playhouse in
this city, within comparatively short
time. For several weeks outside par
ties have been negotiating with the
Akron Realty company for the pur-
chase of its property at the south
west corner of Mill and High SITS.
Wednesday, the company obtained a
clear title to the land by securing con-
troll of the last one-sixty-fourth inter-
est, formerly held by soldier now
serving in China, and it is now pro-
bable that a deal will soon be closed.
An Opera house man from Lima, o.,
has been in the city looking after the
deal and Millionaire J. III. Ketchum
of Toledo. is also interested in the
project. There has peen some sharp
competition between the Toledo and
Lima pople, to see who would secure
the property in question. This rivalry
has come to the attention of o number
of local capitalists and there is strong
talk of local company being formed.
With three parties m the field, the
Akron Realty company Is confident
that sale of the property will soon
be consummated, The company will
dispose of the building site only on the
condition that an Opera house shall be
erected, that will be credit to the
city.
According to plans under considera
tion the house will cost moi, less thar
$150,000. The natural conditions OF
the lot are such that ground fool
entrance can be provided for both the
main auditorium and the gallery. This
will be done by having the main en-
trance on High ST., and the entrance
to the galleries on Mill at the rear OF
the building.

MAKING VOTES FOR BYRAN.

cleveland Flain Dealer.)
When it was announced, nearly a
month ago, that Senator Hanna was
thinking about taking the stump for
the Republican national ticket, there
was chorus of dissent from leading
papers in the East supporting McKin-
ley. The Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, after printing his Chicago speech
in which he denied the existence Of
trusts said "the Republican party can't
afford to have Mr.. Hanna on the
stump II doubted the story that
Mr.. Hanna would be permitted to make
speeches.. because president McIIln-
ley Is not anxious TO have a Burch-
ard" Similar sentiments We're ex-
pressed by other Eastern Republican
papers, and the Republican national
committee was urged to prevent Mr..
Hanna carrying out his intimated pur
pose to take the stump.
But Mr.. Hanna Is himself the Re-
publican national committee, and the
appeals that lie should gag himself
had just the opposite effect. He has
gone off on a stunp.ng tour, and now
good Mckinley papers are praying him
to come back before he has ruined the
Mckinley case irreparably, and for
the remainder of the campaign devote
himself eXcluG'v vely to the duties OF
the managers desk, in which he Is
without n superior.

THOSE SILVER eAR0NS.

Ever since II developed that six OF
the leading members of the local Re

where even the Beacon feared to tread.

ton may go. Mr. Hanna should know
by this time that business confidence
needs careful treatment to keep it in
healthy condition.
But Mr.. Hanna made succession
of "breaks" in his Mankato speech.
He said:
How ridiculous it is to talk about
yielding to the ambitions of any man
simply because he has an insane desire
to be President, to talk of tearing down
all that we have built UP in these
forty years, to talk Of withdrawing
the United States from the place where
Mr.. Mckinley has put it. in the very
firing line OF the nations.
What does Mr.. Hanna mean by talk
ing Of Mr.. Bryan's "insane desire to
be PRESIDENT" Is his desire any more
"insane" than that of Mr.. Mckinley
four years ago to obtain the same
Office, or his present desire to retain
it for four years more? Or, come to
that, Mr.. Hanna's desire to be a sena-
tor from Ohio when it required such
desperate efforts for him to gain the
position? Has Mr.. Hanna forgotten
that four years ago more than $780,
900 citizens OF the United States voted
to crafty that "'insane desire" and
that now the same Mr.. Bryan stands
as the unanimous choice for the posi-
ton of representatives of nearly, If not
quite, half the people Of the United
States?
In that foolish remark Mr.. Hanna
insulted, not so much Mr.. Bryan as the
six millions and more who are back
of him and what Mr.. Hanna calls his
'1nsane desire to be president"
Mr.. Hanna boasts that President Nc
Kinley has, in his Philippine policy,
, put the United States sin the very
firing line of the nations" That was
an unfortunate phrase. 1t reminds
people of the lives unnecessarily sac
rifced by placing the United States
in the firing line" beyond the limits
of constitutional government and of
the cost in blood and treasure and
principles that will result from main
tanning that position on the exposed
firing line"
Finally Mr.. Hanna made this as
tonishlng statement;
In 1896 there We're some people In
this country who believed Mr.. Bryan
was at least honest in his opinions.
Every day adds TO the number of men
who voted for him In 1906 and who
now say they do not believe he was
ever honest In his Intentions that he
has been playing the part of a hypo
critic and that for this same insane &c
sire for office he will sacrifice even
his own self-respect.
There can be but one sentiment
among fair minded men of any party
concerning that brutal attack on the
character of Mr.. Byran. In this city
where Mr., Hanna lives and where
Mr.. Bryan stood face to face will
many of Mr.. Hanna's associates ant
neighbors but few hours before this
? dsgracefu attack, the effect will bt
to disgust decent Republicans anc
fmake sympathy for Mr.. Bryan.
For his own credit and the reputa
ton of his home city, Senator Hanna
should ut once dismount from tn,
stump and return to Republican head
quarters. If he really wishes to serve
the interests of President McKinle.
he should quit the role of mckinley
Burchard." If, however, he seeks t,
bring about Mr. Bryan's election, In
is taking the best way to aid in ac
complishing it.
