1t is gratifying to the enthusi-
astic friends and supporters of
Hon. w. j. Bryan, our standard
bearer in two Of the most men,
orable campaigns in the history
of our country, that the Demo-
cratic party is coming together
in all parts of our country and
looking to him to again lead the
fight for political supremacy,
from which it was rested from
the party by millions Of money,
corporate influence and factional
disagreement. AS fast as state
conventions are being held so
surely are the Democrats uniting
and placing Mr.. Bryan in Nomi-
nation. Mr.. Watterson the great
editor, a man of far reaching in
fluence and ability, one who
openly opposed his election in
1896 and favored Mr.. Mckinley,
and whose support in 1904 was
void Of real, genuine earnestness,
is now seeing in Mr.. Bryan the
qualities and ability so badly
needed in our chief Executive.
Mr.. .Watterson has spoken in no
uncertain tones and not only sug-
gests Mr.. Bryan's nomination in
1903 but believes that he ought
to be elected and that he will be.
Throughout the country the same
sentiment is expressed by that
part Of the party heretofore ap-
posed to him and unless some

that she would keep his company
when it suited her. Mrs. Muck

thing happens to check or change

thing happens to check or change
sentiment, judgment and de-
mands, long before the next ma
tional Democratic convention
meets Mr.. Bryan will be placed
in nomination bp an undisputed
majority. To our mind it is clear
that he is the logical man, the
one equal to every emergency,
one who measures up to the full
requirements and needs of the
country in it's desires for purer
and better government, and one
whose abilities and nobleness of
purposes will give him a tremen-
drous sweep over contending
forces. 1t has been our pleasure
to support him in the past and
we would rejoice to see him lead
our forces in the contest in 1903.
The fact is that we not only be-
lieve in the principles which he
defends and the policy for which
he contends, but in the greatness
of the man as we'll. In every
politicalsbattle, in every political
agreement there is couched be-
hindEthem all a desire to recog-
nize moral rights, rather than a
spirit of purely commercialism,
to advance the general interest
of country in it's government.
1t hasltaken a long while to real
ly find the length, breath and
depth of the purposes of Mr..
Bryan and to establish confidence
in his ability by those who have
heretofore failed to support him,
but there there is ample evidence
that the people are fast looking
over the entire field of availables
and see in Mr.. Bryan the essen.
tial so necessary in this day anC
generation. We trust that the
present trend of thought and &C.
ton will prevail and believe that
w. ]. Bryan will be the next

meet anyone with the crime.


To our mind the fullest inquiry
possible was made and outside of
the fact that it came from room
number Z, it was impossible to
trace it further or to find any
evidence or reason to base the
slightest suspicion pointing to the
guilt of anyone. How, when or
by whom it was deposited in that
room is as mysterious to all
parties connected with the hotel
and to all who testified as is pos
sible to conceive. Every person
connected with the hotel, all of
the regular boarders, physicians
and nurses were closely examined
but not the slightest evidence
that pointed the jury to the de-
lection of the crime. After the
fullest and deepest probing by
as good men as our town affords,
and by the management of the
hotel and other citizens, it is COW
cred in mystery, a blot on the
fair name of our community, yet
without evidence or CT r c u M
stances to warrant the shadow of
suspicion against the good name
of any one, but all must share in
common the stigma of such a
deed. The time may come when
it will be revealed, but at this
hour it seems so foreign to this
community and so thoroughly
preposterous that it could have
happened in this town, without
indications pointing to some one,
leaves it to the outside world, the
deed of an outsider, skillfully,
wickedly plotted and ingeniously
executed, the room in which
it was found being used as a de-
pository for various articles not
every day needed, but directly
at the head of the stairway, lead
ing from the office and of easy
approach, could not have been
more inviting for any one who
would stoop so low as to commit
such a crime, not only in the
sight of God, but to the parties
connected with the hotel, it's
boarders and to this entire COM
munity. Regreting the circum-
stance and deploring the fact
that the guilty is hid in total
