Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1906-11-02
The Uummlns men were denant an

. Il
Minis. They said Bolt and be
darned. What do we care. We can
elect him anyhow" But a change has
come over the spirit Of their dreams
and their only hope now is to confuse
the Democrats by raising such dust
that lot of them will be fooled and
deceived into voting for albert the
Pretender."
They consort with men who are so
emery" that their own wives could
not live with them. They use men to
calunniate the Democratic leaders
who are not worthy to be believed in
a court of justice.
They have employed a man by the
name of Walter D. Olney, who is cir
culating literature regarding Bryan's
meeting in Iowa, when he spoke at
Sanborn a week or two ago. He has
sent out letters asking the real Bryan
Democrats to stick by Cummins be-
cause he represents the reforms that
Bryan is for. But if he does, isn't it
funny that Bryan doesn't know it
without being informed by Walter
Olney, wife-beater and a deadbeat.
He has secured the assistance Of one
j. Clark Meredith to help put Bryan
wise" OF course, Bryan's paper, the
Commoner, has been doing all it could
for Porter, but the writers for that
paper were all fooled and 1t took j.
Clark, who parts his name in the
middle, to set them right.
You see, these fellows who part
their names in the middle always are
wise guys. He pleads with Bryan not
to be misled into supporting Porter.
! But it is queer that Bryan knows so
we'll that Cummins is not LaFollette.
/, He knows what we all know, that La
Toilette has the backbone and Cum
!, Minis has not.
Walter D. Olney, the wife-beater
sends out this literature by the bushel
in which Bryan is informed by his
friend, ]. Clark Meredith, whoever he
is, that j. B. Romans was left off the
! committee. And his successor is
Jack Dalton, who is a stronger Bryan
man than Romans, because he has
always been Democrat. Which
shows that Walter D. Olney knows
3 more about obscene pictures ant
about beating rent bills than he doe:
about politics in the Tenth Iowa dis
trict.
i This Walter D. Olney, who is sucl
!. a pure Democrat that he votes TO
Cummins, was also so good and pur'
that he hired horse to take his wifi
! out buggy riding, before they wer'
: married. and he drove the horse t
death and never paid the owner for II
: He also pretended the horse belonge'
to him, and his wife believed hin
and thought he was we1lto-do. TIL
Cummins Republicans are welcome t
Walter.
He is sending out letters aslzin
real Democrats" to join him in
Bryan League of the real thing, Demo
) Gratis not controlled by the railroads
> He probably prefers company cor
trolled by the divorce courts. Waite
, had better keep our of politics. H
will have enough to do If he keeps on
of the clutches of the law.
| Walter D. Olney, dispenser Of lew
pictures, says to his followers, "Wh
: not be independents" That is ev
DENLY TRst he tRpapght when tn
him for cruel and inhuman treatmen
This is small matter, of course, bu
r man who has been kicked out {
decent society and whose wife ha
q been given divorce because of il
e human treatment, is hardly the ma
l. to teach Democracy to the Democrat
q Of Iowa and to William Jenning
d Bryan.
Even the New York World has foun
out that Iowa has Progressive Repul
= licans and talks about the "Standpa
:. folly" Of this state. 1t couples low
: and Massachusetts together and refer
: to them as states of progress. Ism
that nice, and won't it sound funn
after Porter is elected?

t There hassRbeen great deal {
