MILTON SHAFFER
VERY CONFIDENT.
He Says That Bryan Is Going
To be Elected.
GREAT DEMONSTRATION
Declares That He Never Before Witnessed
such Enthusiasm-Talks With
Members u State
Delegation,

Mr.. Milton Shaffer, Of North Cleveland
avenue, returned Monday evening from
Kansas City, where he attended the
Democratic convention and the conven-
ton of the Silver Republicans. Mr..
Shaffer was one of the delegates-at-large
to the Silver Republican convention
and comes back nightly pleased with
the way things went.
'I was for Towne," said he to News
Democrat man Tuesday, but am for
Stevenson now. Our convention was
always for Bryan and we endorsed Ste
venson as soon as he was nominated by
the Democratic convention. The DEM
ocratic convention was the greatest
thing I ever saw. IT was simply won-
derful the amount of enthusiasm that
was displayed. I tell you there never
was such devotion to one man before
as to William ]. Bryan. Every dele
gate seemed to want to do just what he
wanted and all left feeling good. The
platform is strong one and 1 am cer-
tain that no one can object to it. Towne
urged the silver convention to select

work harmony. He will take the stump
and will do us an immense amount oc
good.
| IT took particular pains to ask the
delegates from the various states what
they thought about the situation and
1 think there is no doubt about Bryan
winning. l heard Webster Davis make
his great speech and he is going to do us
a lot of good. A member Of a travelling
mems club from Minneapolis was at the
convention. Half of them, he said, were
going to vote for Bryan who refused tt
support him last year. think there II

power should never be exercised except
in such crises and should always be
exercised in strict harmony with the
great principles Of liberty which under
lie that document from beginning to
end and with the spirit which animates
its every article, section and clause.
In accordance with this view is the
provision that none but native Ameri-
cans shall be eligible to the presidential
office. In accordance with 1t also is the
provision for the impeachment of the
president.
The American people have so under
stood the matter They have applaud
ed no extreme exercise Of the presi-
dents power as commander in chief
except such as has been clearly In line
with the general purpose of the consti-
tuition to provide for the public de-
fense and to maintain the integrity and
life of the republic.
They have approved of such exercises
of power only in great emergencies. as
when Jefferson acquired the Louisiana
territory in order to provide for effec-
tive defense by securing control Of the
Mississippi river from it's source to
the gulf. or when Lincoln emancipated
the slaves as a military measure.
The American people have never toll
Grated any extreme exercise Of the ex-
ecutive power or any departure from
| the prescribed order of the constitu-
tion save in such emergencies. Any
thing approaching its customary or
continuous exercise they have always
| regarded as intolerable.
They are now asked to depart from
/ their unbroken usage. They are invited
by the party in power to regard with
complacency the assumption of prac-
| tically imperial authority over millions
| Of people, not in a sudden crisis merely,
but continuously; not only in a case
where immediate action is imperatively
necessary and where either congress
| cannot be convened or its powers OF
prompt action are inadequate, but as
an every day affair, and where con-
gress has had ample time with unques-
toned power to act.
The American people cannot afford to
accustom themselves to look with in
difference upon this everyday exercise
of power, which is imperial in fact II
not in name.
They cannot afford it, because If they
| tolerate such things they afford the
first designing man who succeeds ir
winning their confidence all the oppor.
tunity he could desire to establish 9
military despotism at home as well a:
abroad.
If eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty surely 1t should be exercised tC
prevent the extraordinary military
power of the president from becoming
ordinary and familiar.

GURSKI WILL
''''' TO STAND.
Document Set Aside by Jury
But Judge Thinks Different.
EVIDENCE DID NOT JUSTIFY
The Breaking Of the VIII, so Decides Judge
McCarty-said He Thought Gurski
Was Competent to Make
aWiil.

The will Of John Gurski will stand.
A jury Of twelve men said 1t should not
but Judge McCarty says it shall and
the Judge has the last say. After trial
that lasted nearly week the jury de-
cided that Gurski was not competent to
make a will at the time he did 50 and
the document was set aside. The attor-
neys for the widow, who was the prin-
cipal beneficiary under the will, asked
for a new trial and Judge McCarty
heard the motion Monday. In the after
noon he handed down his decision. He
reviewed the case thoroughly. He cited
the testimony and set the verdict aside
on the ground that the evidence did not
justify breaking the will. The court said
that Gurski was, in his opinion, Just as
competent to make q will as any one in
the court room and that when the court
was satisfied that the verdict was wrong
it was part Of his duty to set 1t aside.
The case will have to be fought all
over again now before another jury.

The Democrats are pretty certain to
carry New York this fall, but we think
the elimination of Roosevelt from the
politics Of that state will have little ef-

win In New York not only because the
