Utah Nan Closed the Case fer Judge
Parker.


Especial to Inc HCTald.)
St Louis. July 10--To Utah fen the
honor of closing the case for Judge
Parker. At the earnest solicitation of
the New York delegation Senator Can
non had consented to follow Bryan in
a speech seconding Parker. Nebraska
announced her change with Wisconsin,
this giving Bryan the closing argument.
An arrangement was at once made
with Alaska, whereby Utah changed
with her and Cannon had the last word,
as the territories are called after the
states. Cannon answered Bryan's ar
sument that he had to stay by the six
million voters who had stayed by him
by saying that he was one Of those who
mad left the Republican party to follow
Bryan, and that Bryan seemed to for
get one man who had twice supported
him, Notwithstanding he jeopardized
MS political lie by doing so, namely,
Alton 3. Parker
This announcement was received with
cheers by the convention. and Can
mons speech doubtless led to Parkers
election on the first ballot as was in
tended II brought home TO d number
Of western states the fact that Parker
was as regular a Democrat as any.
Mr.. Cannon was heartily congratu-
lated for his successful effort.

Wood Fales, Minnesota, and Andrew
Lagham, of Great Bend, who are both
living. His wife died in 1878, at
Milwaukee. He came to America
in 1910, and lived in Brooklyn, N. Y.

ing to milwaukee.
His life was always an industrious
one. He attended strictly to bust
ness, and had many friends in this
city and county. Of late years the
infirmities of old age have been creep
ing upon him rapidly, and the hand
of time slowly but surely wrote
wrinkles on his brow, the warm blood
coursed more slowly, the strong limbs
became weakened, and at last he lay
him down in the peace and quiet of
the grave, to awaken only at the great
judgement day when the trumpet of
Gabriel will summon us all to the
final accounting. His life has been
good, and his awakening will be
among the just.

W. o. W. Meeting.

The big w. o. w. meeting was
held in the opera house last Friday
evening, and although Sow. Com.
Root failed to come, having been
called to California by the illness of
his wife, the meeting was success.
The members of the camp, headed
by the w. o. w. band and degree
team in uniform, met the visiting
Sovereigns, State Deputy Kaiser,
accompanied by Mrs. Kaiser and
daughter Hazel, COL Moore, and
Prof. Swortz. and escorted them to
the Greene Hotel. The meeting was
presided over by Col. Moore, Sow.
D. A. Banta made the address of
welcome, and Prof. Swortz took the
place of Sow. Com. Root, and gave
an excellent address on the benefits
and need of fraternal insurance and
of the advantages of the w. o. w.
An excellent musical program was
rendered by Mrs. Leland, Laura
Townsley, Miss Hazel Kaiser, Ed
Gilson, Miss Pool, and Prof Gains
from. The vocal selections were
especially hne, and an injustice would
be done, were we to give either of
the three ladies special mention. but
we believe we voice the sentiment of
the audience when we say that Laura
Townsley did exceptionally we'll, and
certainly has bright future before
her in the musical world. The meet
ing was a success, and will no doubt
keep up the interest in the order and
the camp continue to grow.
A write up of this meeting would
be incomplete if we left off the men
tioning the anecdotes and words of
encouragement given the local camp
by State Deputy Kaiser. He has
steadily been holding our camp up
before the camps of the state as a
model of activity, and always gives us
the best he has in store, fore which
he boys are duly grateful.

The claim is being made to
advertisers by the publishers of one
other paper in Great Bend that it
has as large circulation as has the
DEMOCRAT. We of course do not
care how ridiculous they make them
selves before the people; but would
suggest that they do as we do, open
their subscription books to inspection
by the advertisers, make sworn affi-
davit as to their circulation, and
invite an investigation at the post
office and with the express company
that hauls the ready prints for all the
Great Bend papers. We make the
assertion, without fear of successful
contradiction, that more than double
the number of DEMOCRATS are
printed each week and mailed to
actual subscribers than any other
paper published in Great Bend.
