NEW YORK STATE FOR
4 RESOLUfE, FEARLESS DEMOCRAT.
More Than That Bryan Says Hearst
VIII Make an EfSeient and High
Class Executive

OKLAHOMA CTTr, Okla, Sept -
Homer BaSford STAT correspondent Of
the St Louis Republic, ~tth William
u. Bryan. wires bis paper As fol-
lows.
William J, Bryan will support
Hearst with all possible enthusiasm.
He appears TO be PARTICULARLY desirous
in the interests Of truth and for party
good to set al rest the Funors that
have Indicated the breach between him
and the New York nominee.
mi. Bryan told me this Afternoon
between speeches to the greatest out
dor crowds be has eyer addressed that
be viii not only support Mr.. Hearst in
his puolic utterAnceS and privately as
far as possible, bat be viii, il request
ed,gO 70 New York and make speeches
In the interest Of the Hearst candidacy
He says that Hearst is = strong candi-
date, has q strong personality, and
that be hopes for his election to Su-
coed Governor Francis W. Higg-
ms
More than this Mr.. Bryan declares
without reservation, that it Is his be-
lief that il Hearst is elected, be will
make an efficient capable execu-
tive
HEARTILY FAYoRS ELECTION.
Said Mr.. Bryan: MI. Hearst is q
resolute, fearless Democrat. / cart
ainly hope for his election. In the
event that he succeeds to the place
held By Governor Higgins, in Albany,
/ feel sure that he viii make a high
class executive and viii carry ont all
OF his own and the PARTIES anti-elec-
ton pledges 1 have 50 far refrained
from discussing candidates before the
conventions have met following my
rule as applied to all states, but II
heartily favor this nomination and
hope for Mr.. Hearstis election.
When / asked Mr.. Bryan to say
whether he would lend his personal
support to Mr.. Hearst, be said: .Ifeel
that / have already made it perfectly
clear that the nominee OF the New
York Democracy has my complete
support Whether 1 stall go into that
state on a speechmaking campaign for
the ticket depends altogether on the
issues involved and the demands made
upon me by the gentlemen in charge
Of the Democracy OF New York.
IL the battle is to be fought on
purely local questions, l suppose THAT
there will be no occasion for me to go
into the state for the purpose Of al
dressing the people, but II, on the
other hand, the issues are TO be nation
u 10 scope, then i shall be only too
happy to place my services at the dis
poSal Of Mr.. Hearst's campaign man.

A Sail Around The Circle.

Several days ago Holy Moses and the
writer took a little swing around the
circle, going out northwest Of Mexico
about five miles, thence west, thence
south to our home. II may well be
said that we passed through a portion
Of the garden spot at Audrain county.
The johnson brothers and the Lewis
brothers own enough land Just north
west OF Mexico 10 make a good-sized
county. For a few hours we stopped
at the hospitable home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawrence O'ToSle, and we're
treated very much like the people
treated Wm. Jennings Bryan when he
returned from the Old World. We
were wined and dined, beard some
splendid music by the Misses O'Toole,
and their accomplished brother, Tom,
received all kinds OF fruits and had a
jolly time. Miss Estella O'Toole is
visiting Miss Maggie Dermody at
Dewitt, Iowa, and writes back to
friends that she is enjoying a delight
full outing at the lakes No better
people breathe the breath OF life than
the O'Tooles.
We wish to thank Masters Johnnie
and Willie Fecht, the bright sons Of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Fecht, for several
fine, large. juicy melons. Boys, you
will get your reward "up there"
Crops OF all kinds look splendid.
The superstition is that the people
and stock will not starve to death the
winter.
A good word va said about the
LEDGER and Cottonwood Springs at
every stop and the glad wave was
given Vi by the ladies, both old and
Ioung, all around the circle. Dill.
