the stealth that marks the malefactor

Some time ago charges were filed by
their alleged chamber Of commerce with
the census bureau at the capital. and
an attorney has been busy making out
a charge of fraudulent returns. Child

that an investigation IL TO be made;
that the only result OF their precious

The facts are that the enumeration
returned for this city a total much
smaller than Seattle is entitled 10. The
rush to Nome carried away several
thousand OF our actual population.

To show that Mr.. Bryan Is not always

First Battle" he believed II would be
literature useful in the second battle.
Somehow or other there is no demand
for the volume for campaign purposes.
In fact. any attempt to bring The

time would probably be strenuously re-
sisted by the Democratic committee.
The awful predictions made in Mr..
Bryan's book would now excite only
ridicule through contrast with existing
