THE TIMES individual choice for
the Democratic nominee for Presl-
dent in 1905 is William J Bryan
because it believes that he is not
only the foremost and ablest ex'
ponent of Democratic principles of
this day and generation, but one OF
the strongest, most popular and
deserving leaders of the Democrat
ic party. If, however Mr.. Bryan
should not prove the choice Of the
convention. there is no other man
who would better fill his place at
the head of the ticket than Senator
Joseph W. Bailey, the acknow.
lodged Democratic leader IN the
United States Senate.

He Might Marry Another

TOMS RIVER, n. J., Oct. 9.-The
evidence which the prosecution pro-
poses TO introduce in the effort to prove
that DR.. Frank Brouwer murdered his
wife that he might be free to marry
another woman was outlined by the
Public Prosecutor when the murder

When Brouwer appeared in court to-
day to face his accusers he appeared
little affected by the months he had
spent in prison awaiting the opening
Of the trial
A ne<ghbor who was present when
Mrs. Brouwer died and undertaken
who exhumed her body were the first
witnesses.
Dr. Henry Cattrell Of Philadelphia,
one of the two doctors who held the
autopsy, testified that it had found no
natural cause for the death. He said
that it might have resulted from ar
senical poisoning.
Miss Elizabeth Hyer. sister of Mrs.
Brouwer, who was most instrumental
In causing DR.. Brouwer's arrest, sat
near the prisoner yesterday. She in
timated that she would be in daily at
tendance at the trial. Miss Hyer de-
clared that the family will spend the
entire small fortune in an endeavor
to convict the prisoner. and to this
end has retained Aaron E. Johnston as
personal counsel to aid Prosecutor
Brown.

RAPS KNUCKLES OF
ROCKEFELLER.

WICHITA, Kan, Oct 9.-W. J. Bryan
made six speeches here today, being ac-
corded a great reception by members
Of all parties. He declared he was
more interested in the success OF the
political ideas he had been advocating
than in furthering his own candidacy
for any Office.
The people Of this country have for
q generation paid too much homage to
men with money" he said. But q
change IS now taking place"
As evidence OF this he cited the con-
trOversy IN a missionary council over
the question OF accepting a donation
from John D. Rockefeller.
The discussion indicates that the
time is coming when the unjustIy rich
man must spend his money himself,
he said. II Will be glad to see that
day. I shall rejoice when IL becomes
the custom to say to the rich man who
thus tries to ease his conscience and TO
buy the good viii Of his fellow-men:
No: you got your money by violating
your obligations to be just and humane
TO the poor. and you may now keep it
10 learn how poor is the man who has
nothing but money"
Mr.. Bryan advocated an income tax
for the support OF the general Govern
ment
Il propose to stand for such a tax
he declared, until the constitution is
amended 10 read so clear that no nine
Judges or any Judge can ever change
his mind or read II any other way"
He declared he haG returned from the
Philippines more than ever convinced
that the islands should be independent
though he thought the American colo
nial system an improvement over the
English system as he saw it in India
This evening he left for Nevada, Mo.
where he speaks tomorrow.

Nominees for Appellate Court Mus,
Resort to Local Petitions.

Resort to Local Petitions.
SACRAMENTO, Oct. s.-Secretary OF
State c. F. Curry announced today that
the certificates of nomination of four
Democratic candidates for State and
county offices had been received toe
late to give the nominees a place on
the official ballot These candidates
are:
Dr. C. w. Nutting, candidate for
member of the State Board of Equali-
zation from the Third district; c. NJ.
Hayble, candidate for Clerk of the Su-
preme Court: Robert Harrison, candi-
date for Associate Justice of the Court
of Appeals of the First district, and
w. J. Cowan, candidate for Associate
Justice of the Court of Appeals of the
Third district.
All of these nominees were selected
by the State central committee to fill
vacancies caused by designations.
Secretary Curry stated that it is
obligatory to file certificates for nomi-
nations of this character by Septem-
Der 27, but that the law was evidently
misconstrued on a belief that the time
limit did not expire until October 5.
He added that the candidates for
places on Appellate Court benches have
the alternative of fling with County
Clerks, and by this method Cowan and
Harrison may secure the places on the
ballot.

JUSTICES To HEAR
bEATTY'S CASE.

After overnight meditation the Su-
preme Court decided to reverse its rul-
ing in the matter of the petition of
Henry n Beatty, the anti-Ruef can
didate for the State Senate from the
Eighteenth District. who applied in
vain on Monday for writ of mandate
to compel the registrar of voters to
issue to him a certificate of nomination.
Yesterday an alternate writ was is
sued. returnabIe on Thursday morning
at 10 o'clock, before the court sitting
in bank.
The question to be decided by the
court is whether or not a convention
has the right to pass arbitrarily on the
qualifications Of its members. At the
local Republican convention Henry Ach,
chairman of Ruef's committee on Gre
dentials. haughtily dismissed the inves-
tigation of alleged election fraud in the
Thirty-sixth Assembly District, which
is part of the Eighteenth Senatorial
District. and the committee reported on
the seating of half of the Puef and
half of the anti-Ruef or Eggers dele
cation. This ruling led to the defeat
Of Beatty in the Senatorial fight.
When the petition of the defeated
aspirant was under reconsideration
yesterday Justice AngeIlotti declared
that the convention had no right under
the new primary election law to seat
delegates with half votes after that
fashion, the law declaring that none but
regularly elected delegates should sit
in the convention. Ach's compromise
would be palpably illegal, II that sec
tion of the code be construed by the
court in that sense.
After voting to deny the writ on
Monday Of the InSficeS oh
their minds Those who voted yester-
day to grant the writ were Chief Jus
tice Beatty and Associate Justices
Shaw, Angellotti and Sloss.
