WRESTLING GAME

Harvey Parker Easily Disposes Of Two

Harvey Parker last night pinned the

good wrestler who has been seen in
Washington since Charley Weiss held
carnivals at Odd Fellows Hall

A year ago one could scarcely go to

match was not pulled of after the regu-

twenty men travelling the circuit and

vey Parker. Some shows would. for the
sake OF drawing a gOod-sized audience.

with the show TO wrestle any man at

Now the chances are that II this
mediocre wrestler came 70 Washing

OPENED BY BRYAN.
Democrat Campaign I'm Colorado Is
Given a Start.

Denver. Sept. 1s.-William ]. Bryan
opened the Democratic campaign in
Colorado with a speech at Coliseum
hall. BY far the largest crowd assem-
bled thus far during the campaign
turned out to hear the distinguished
Nebraskan and many hundreds were
unable to get inside the densely packed
hall. Mr.. Bryan dwelt at length upon
what he termed the policy of militar-
ism of the Republican party which was
not influenced alone by imperialism,
but that the strengthening of the army
was as much for the purpose of aiding
capital in enforcing its demands
against labor as anything else. He
criticised Roosevelt as dangerous
man because of his love of power and
war-like demonstration and unsuitable
to be at the head of a nation that
wanted to be great in moral force and
not physical force.
You ask me, a believer in free sill
yer, how / can bring myself to support
a man who favors the gold standard
1 say that 1 love peace and the gospel
of peace infinitely more than 1 love
either gold or silver
Mr.. Bryan assured his hearers that
if Mr.. Parker was elected president,
peace would reign in the United States
during the next four years.
Mr.. Bryan spoke Of the labor trou-
bles and consequent occurrences in
this state and said that the eye Of the
country was upon Colorado and the
people were anxious to learn the results
of the vote for governor.

MIR. HORNER WAS THERE.
Topeka Man Knew of Organization of

A. F. Horner, who lives at S32 Tyler

the morning the conspirators started
from Hutchinson for the Comanche
region. Mr.. Horner built the first
house in Hutchinson in 1871

MIR. robson EXPLAINS.
Tells Why He Is Supporting Republi
can Commissioners.

''AIr. Robson Balks" Under this
caption an article appears in the To-
peka Journal and among other state
ments appears the following: 1.-The
fusionists claim they understood Robi-
son would stand by the nominees pro-
posed by the commercial interests, if
the wishes of the federation were fol-
lowed by the fusion convention"
1 am q Republican and always have
been.
The action of the fusion convention
in indorsing my candidacy for rail-
road commissioner came as a surprise
to me, as 1 had not heard of any
such intention and had never been ap-
preached by any person in any man
ner as to what my attitude would be
in the event 1 was so Endorsed.
Mr. Walker, Mr. Wheatley and my
self were nominated by the Republi-
can convention at Wichita, on the first
ballot AS a matter of good politics
it is my duty to support the nominees
of this convention, whose suffrage
sought and obtained.
1 have carefully studied the present
Kansas railroad law and I have ex-
amined and studied the work under
the law by Commissioners Walker and
Wheatley. from their published report
ana records. have been before them
in matters of interest to the live stock
industry of the state and in no case
with which am familiar have I seen
the least evidence of desire on the part
of these commissioners to unduly favor
the railroad companies as against any
shipper or shippers interest.
The general charge has been made
against Mr.. Walker that he is friendly
to the railroads, yet no charge is made
that he has been unjust to any COM
planning party and no case cited in
which it is alleged he has in any rul-
ing or decision been unduly partial or
friendly to any railroad company.
/ have heard numerous parties COM
pliment Mr.. Walker for his uniform
courtesy to parties seeking Informal
tion from his office, for his fairness in
the admission of testimony and his
ability in rendering decisions, and that
if in error it was in leaning toward the
complainant rather than the railroad
companies.
So I want it clearly understood that
/ am for the election of Mr.. Walker
and Mr.. Wheatley, not only for politi-
cal reasons, but bScauAe I regard them
as capable and fair men and good rail-
road commissioners.
The statement in the article referred
TO that 1 am actively fighting Fergu-
son and Chase is incorrect. L have
not made a derogatory remark in re-
gard to either of the gentlemen named
Mr.. Ferguson is an old acquaintance
and personal friend whom 1 esteem
very highly as a business man and
gentleman. AS to Mr.. Chase, 1 have
no doubt of his qualifications, or his
party friends would not have placed
him on the ticket.

Atchison Globe: The Comanche
