Champ clark's Opinion of w,
j. BRYAN.

Champ Clark's Opinion of w.
j. Bryan.
"When we consider the fact
that William j. Bryan has new
er held a higher official position
in civil life than a representa-
tive in congress for four years,
or in the military establishment
higher than colonel of volun-
teers fora few months, we must
conclude that his welcome
abroad was the most remarka-
BILE ever paid to mortal man.
General Grant was received ev-
erywhere around the worlc
with unprecedented honors, but
he had been president twice
and was the successful comman.
der of the Union armies at the
conclusion of the greatest wal
of all time. More than that,
the administration at Washing
ton was Republican during his
tour. He was known to be a
candidate for a third term, and
there is little doubt that all oul
representatives abroad were di
rected to exert themselves to
see that he missed no homo,
possible to be heaped on him
They exerted themselves to tn,
utmost. Yet he was little il
any ahead of Bryan in point OF
the splendor of his reception ii
foreign lands, and the honors
B Cyan has received came to hin
as a private citizen, as the fore
most living American. He re-
turned to this country to re-
ceive the most astonishing vel
come ever accorded to an Amer
lean returning from abroad
Yet, with all this attention,
with all these honors, he re
mains the same plain, uneffect
ed unpretentious citizen that he
always was we'll worthy Of the
highest honor that the people
can bestow. If America had
done nothing else of note in the
last half century except give
Bryan to the world, it would b.
sufficient reason for our being
as a nation"
M. L. Dakan, democratic cam
didate for County Seperinten-
dent of Schools, was a pleasant
caller yesterday. Mr.. Dakan
is we'll known to the people OF
Harrison County, having held
the office in the past, and been
engaged in teaching for over
forty years, and taught seventy
nine terms in Harrison County,
which demonstrates that he is .
school man of ability. If cleo
tied he will make a good officer.

HEAVY VOTE
Is PROMISED
Notwithstanding Sena=
torial Fight Growing
Warmer
Onawa, Ia, Oct.12. R. D.
MacMahon, the republican
candidate for senator of the
Crawford Harrison onona dis
trict, spent some time in Onawa
this week looking after his
candidacy as senator. r. D.
MacMahon was born in the
town of Kilrush, County Clare,
Ireland, March Is, 1868, came
to Ida Grove in 1886, and in
1886 entered the employ of
Shaw & Kuehnle and has been
associated with them since and
is now a member of the firm.
In 1888 he moved to Charter
Oak, where he filled the office
of mayor and was eight years
postmaster of Charter Oak, re-
signing in 1905 on account of
his removal to Denison, Ia,
where he now resides. Mr..
MacMahon is a popular man in
Crawford county and has an
extensive acquaintance. He
was a delegate from Charter
Oak to the senatorial conven-
ton that nominated Senator
Hogue five years ago and in
that memorable convention
which first met at Logan and
then adjourned to Onawa, he
managed to get pretty we'll ac-
quainted with many of the
politicians of the district.
The popularity of w. c.
Whiting is we'll known in the
district and it is now looks as if
there will be a lively struggle
for senatorial honors between
the two candidates which will
result in bringing out a full
vote.

lives will be endangered, but simply to
tell him the facts. lie said that Amer
leans now own nine-tenths Of the prop
erty in the island which they purchased
solely on assurances Of President
Mckinley and the war department that
the island was American soil
Conditions, he says, however, are at
g critical stage, and the majority OF the
Americans have stated that they will
stand their oppression no longer. Mr..
Pearcy said these American citizens
have received many offers of aid from
the United States in case of a revolt.
