THIS GUNNER A KANsAN.
Father of the Crack NTarksman john
son Visited in Wichita.


S. G. johnson. the father of NJ. 7.
Johnson the crack gunner who did
phenomenal shooting in the recent na-
val contract. and which was comment
ed upon by the president and his party
was in the city yesterday.
Mr.. Johnson leaned back in a chair
in the Pennsylvania hotel yesterday
and pointed to a picture of the bat
tleship Missouri in one of the Kansas
City morning papers and said:
.'Yes, 1 am the father Of the crack
gunner on that ship. tried every
way to keep my boy from going to the
navy, but he had an uncle who in
fiuenced him to join. Now he thinks
there is no place like that ship.
when Milo was a little boy, I took
him hunting occasionally and it was
there he first acquired the love for
warlike instruments. Since then, he
has experimental with many kinds OF
guns from the smallest rife to the big
gun. with which he did such remark
able shooting"
The Missouri is the ship which won
such great applause from the presi-
dent and his party for its wonderful
ability to hit the bulls eye square in
the senter eight out of eight times,
and It was a Kansas boy who was be-
hind the gun.-Wichita Beacon.

ROOSEVELT.
Had q Few Remarks to Make on
State Campaign.
Three Speeches We're Made at
Fort Scott and Pittsburg.

Fort Scott, Kan. Oct. civilian J.
IS IN made his first Kansas speech Of
TINS campaign near the St Louis x
san francisco depot here Monday at
etfnoon. He said in part:
am glad to come to Kansas. and 1
am glad to find a spirit here that we
nave not always found in politics In
lact, unless am very much mista ten.
we are approaching a time when we can
consider public measures with less Of
partisanship than we have before in
generations.
Il can remember when I first entered
politics that there was such a strong
feeling in regard to parties that it was
almost impossible for a man belonging
to any one party to find anything good
in another party. This state has done
much to break down the old feeling
Kansas had man in the senate who
did much to dispel this feeling, Colonel
w. A Harris. He demonstrated that a
man could be a good man and be
Democrat. A great many Republicans
viii testify this fail TO their confidence
in him. They are going to say to him.
We viii try you
President Roosevelt has done a good
deal to convince the public that there is
something good in the Democratic plat
forms. He finds the courage to take up
some of the reforms the Democrats ad-
Vocated before his party had advocated
them I want to mention three good
things that President Roosevelt has
done Ask a labOring man what good
thing Roosevelt has done and he will
tell you Of the arbitration Of the great
coal strike, and Mr.. Roosevelt got his
arbitration inspiration from the Demo-
cratic platform. The Democrats had an
arbitration plank in their national plat
forms and then in regard to the trusts,
the president has done some good Ching,
but what has he done that ought to be
done toward the suppression of the
trusts that was not advocated in the
Democratic platform, and what has he
done that ought to have been done that
was in the Republican platform2 The
president has done much good, I don't
know what he might have done had he
had an environment favorable to re-
form. He has done remarkable things
for a man who had to fight his leaders
all the way through. I don't know what
he might have accomplished had he not
been so handicapped %
In speaking of the trusts Mr.. Bryan
quoted a saying Of Colonel Harris, the
Democratic candidate for governor, who
In a recent speech insisted that the
trusts and mOnopolies should be de
horned so the common herd could get up
to the trough.

Hon. William J. Bryan and his
wife were given a genuine welcome
last Saturday in Jackson. Hundreds
passed into the Capitol city to sec
and hear the man that has but re-
Gently trayerSed the globe and who
was everywhere received by crowned
heads and dignitarieS as one Of Amer
ica'S first citizens. On Saturday
afternoon Mr. Bryan delivered an ad-
dress in the Capitol building which
was in the main a repetition Of what
he has said at nearly every other place
since his return from his foreign tour.
He took occasion to say that what he
lad said about government ownership
Of rail roads had been distorted and
that he was not pretending to speak
for the Democratic party.
On Sunday morning Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan attended services at the First
Methodist church where Bishop Gal

Bryan delivered his lecture on the

he and were surely able to offer him
