BRYAN WRITES TO CAREER.
Refterates His Views of the Campaign
 Now RaUiuU

Columbus, O.. Oct 5.-William Jen- nings Bryan, in letter to Chairman Harvey Garber of the Democratic State Committee declining to visit Ohio du- ring the present campaign says:
 While Judge Parker announces him. self as unqualifedly fin favor of the gold standard. he is no more objec- tionable upon this question than Pres ident Roosevelt and he does stand for many things in which the silver Dem ocrats are interested.
 ''The election of Parker and Davis would remove from the arena of poli- ties the questions which stand in the way of the consideration of economic questions and for this reason believe that every Democrat who supported the ticket in 1898 and 1900 should in- terest himself In the success of the ticket this year.
 When ithe election is over I want to renew the fight for economic reform and I believe that we will be in better position to do this with Judge Parker elected than with Roosevelt at the head of the nation. It is also import ant to secure Congress. for without the House of Representatives, the Presi- dent could not carry out his policies !"

 Mir. and Mrs. LeBaron reside on washington Avenue, first south of Bal timore Street While lying in bed asleep they were awakened by a noise In the house. Their first thought was of burglars because of the many house. breakings reported In this city recent ly. Both arose, the husband grasping a pistol. The light in their bedroom had been extinguished. and the husband requested his wife to slip into another, adjoining. and secure some matches. This she did. In returning Mrs. Le- Baron came from another direction than the one she had taken in leaving the room. The slight noise made by the wife attracted her husbands at tention and. without giving a challenge he raised the pistol and fired.
 shriek followed as the woman fell to the fioor. and then the husband re- alized his awful mistake. Neighbors rushed in and a telephone message brought a physician from the city. The woman was given immediate attention and may recover.

Arm strong. of Blount County, to make the race for Congress. The resignation was accepted and Professor J. T. Biackemore was nominated In ms nlace. The chairman and secretary or the convention have sent certincate of nomination to the Secretary or the state SO that Professor Blakemore $ name can go on the ticket to be voted bv the people of Alabama. There was some question as to Professor Blake more's name going on the ofiicfai pal lot twice, as he is one of the Repuo- lican electors of the State in addition to being the candidate now for Con Sress. He will make the race against Conrressman Oscar W. Underwood. Professor Blakemore has number or dates for speeches including four de- bates with Captain Hobson, commenc- ing the last day of this month at Huntsville. the following night in Birmingham the next in Montgomery and the last one in Mobile.
 Professor Blakemore in accepting the nomination today stated that he would do his best and would make a number of speeches during his campaign. The district Executive Committee was de- siRnated as the campaign committee. with the exception of the chairman There remains but two days for a nonni- nation to have been certified to with the Secretary of State. The new noni- nation gives Congressman Underwood's friends no worry in the least.
