BRYAN CHARGES FRAUD IN
DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Asks Sullivan to Resign and Says He is Ready
to Take Up the Fight

PARIS, Aug. 13.-William ]. Bryan
today gave out statement concern
ing the controversy respecting the IL
linois democratic national committee
men.
The controversy has grown out of
Bryan's letter demanding the resigna-
tion of National Committeeman Sui
livan, to which Sullivan returned a
prompt refusal, stating that Bryan had
been misinformed respecting the sit
uation by Mr.. Dunlap.
Bryan's rejoinder is that no one but
himself is responsible for the inform
alton and that he intended to ask Sui
livan to resign before he had seen
Dunlap.
Bryan adds that he entered into II q
contest because he believed that Sui-
livan and John Hopkins had deliber-
ately robbed the democrats of Illi-
nois of their political rights. He says
he believes to secure political power
by force or fraud, ought to be as dis
graceful In the eyes of the public as
to secure money by force or fraud
He says he was anxious to give Sui
livan a chance to resign without a
fight, but IL he must fight to purify
the party organization, sooner 1t be-
gins the better.

ilful and the dust is a disgusting fac
tor in the work of. the orchardist The
reported shortage of water in the ir-
rigating bitches has been an incentive
to the work of the spider and the pest
has increased to an alarming state of
affairs until the work was stopped by
last nights rain.
II is the general sentiment this
morning that the grain growers in
the vicinity will not be materially
damaged unless the rain continues 10
such a length of time as to soak the
harvested grain which has not been
carefully stacked 1t is not thought
that there is any grain in this vi
cinity so heavy as to be knocked iown
by the rain.

ries it has delayed harvest but no
complaint has been heard from any
community and all are thanking the
good fortune that brought this bless
ing at this time of year.
The storm has been general over
the entire territory and no place reach
ed this morning but had reaped poun-
teously of the benefits.
The rain fell in torrents. Seldom, If
ever, in Lewiston has summer rain
breaking a period of drouth come with
force and in such abundance. Cutters
were soon flooded and overfiowing
and several Easements were filled
with water to the damage of the stock
and spouting cave troughs failed to
meet the demand made upon them and
water overfiowed into the upper rooms
in some of the blocks. In the Kjos
block the roof drainage became clogged
and the upper floor of the store roor,
was flooded and stock of linen un-
dergarments and dress goods damaged
to the extent of $500.

The rain storm predicted for sew
eral days by the local weather station
came on last evening about Z o'clock
accompanied by a high wind which
swept the dust precipitously over the
resident portion of the city. The
storm has come up so rapidly that
windows and awnings were not pro-
perly secured and in many residences
lights were broken and rain and dust
we're driven into the houses to the
damage of the carpets and the furni-
ture.
But it was a glorious rain. From
every part of Lewiston's territory
comes the report that the rainfall Is
Welcome, and has done untold goou.

advanced that no grain was damaged

of the dampening of the straw by the
rain. Had it not coE,e at the time
