OBEY LIE LAW

All true sportsmen take pleasure in
obeying the game laws Of the State
They recognize that they serve theuse-
full purpose of protecting the old birds
and animals while they mate, breed
and rear their young, and the young
birds and animals while they grow
and gain strength to meet the Cmergen-
eies OF the open season, when the we'll
equipped and artful gunners are abroad

one OF the best results Of the defeat
OF Bryan is that it drives to the back
ground many men with dangerous
tendencies who were brought to the
front by the Chicago and Kansas City
Democratic national conventions. So
great was the assurance of these men
that the reins OF government were to
bs nlaeed i'm their hands by the people
that the other great nations Of the
world began to wonder to what end
the republic in the West was driftingso
rapidly. Two successive defeats adj
miniatered in signal form by the
American people to the men who came
into prominence with MIR. Bryan con-
vipees the world that the government
of the United States no longer is an
experiment or thing to be expert

desires Of men with pet theories The

not be permitted to pull down what
has been built up by conservative men
who we're regulated in their conduct
by the experience OF the past and a
high and wholesome regard for the
law which guards human rights and
liberties. The republic rests safe in
