little red hand book has the subject in a
nutshell. The guarantee of bank deposits
is a subject very much alive. The compil-
ers of the text book anticipated this fact
and made ample provision for it. The
election of United States Senators by the
people accords with the popular desire for
larger rule by the people The book
is eloquent on the subject.
The trusts come in for their proper con-
sideration. The trusts have the people by
the throat, and what with high prices and
thousands of people out of work they will
get roundy scored before election, and If
Bryan is inaugurated next March certain
criminals will ornament prison cells. The
book tells its own story Oh the subject in
graphic fashion.
Tariff robbery receives clear exposition
in the book All the buncombe about the
benefits accruing from a system of taxa
ton which makes the rich richer and the
poor poorer receives the drubbing it de-
serves.
Republican extravaganza in spending
the peoples money to support an army of
a hundred thousand extra Office holders
appointed by the Roosevelt administra-
tons is held before the reader until he
feels the wickedness of wholesale Repub-
lican robbery as never before.
In fine, the Democratic campaign text
book is as full of facts as an egg is of
meat
Every Democrat should own a copy.
This is to be a campaign of issues, not
personalities. The presidential canvass,
therefore, will be chiefly discussion of
public measures.
Send your silver quarter to '"Text
Book" department, Democratic national

yourself with it. Then go for the Re

the escape of the latter is considered al
most miraculous. He was hurled through
the air fifty feet.
The bursting of the boiler sent frag-
ments of the locomotive in all directions.
Good was killed outright The force of
the explosion hurled the contents of the
frebox into the dry grass and started
miniature forest fire. which was extin-

though all the cars remained on the
track
In charge of Conductor Louis .Stiltz,
434 Fourteenth avenue. the freight
train left Milwaukee Saturday afternoon.
While standing on a siding at Portage,
awaiting orders, the explosion occurred:
The locomotive seemed in the best of
order, prior to the crash. The boiler
was torn to pieces and the fragments
scattered in all directions. Portage peo-
pie were aroused by the noise of the ex-
plosion, and hurried to the aid OF the
train crew.
Engineer Good was not dead, when
found and was taken to the office of Dr.
B. G.. Meacher, where he died two hours
later Hanson was found wandering
about the rear of the train, in a partial
ly dazed condition. while Taylor was un-

will recover, although terribly scalded.
The Milwaukee wrecking crew, accom-
panied by Supt T.. G.. Eldredge, and
Trainmaster W. p. Hinrich, left for
Portage Sunday morning at IL o'clock.
The framework Of the engine was found
thrown 200 feet from the head of the
train. The frame had buried itself be-
tween the two main tracks.
Goods body was brought to Merrill
Park station this morning at 1890
o'clock It was conveyed to the resi-
dcnce on Park Hill avenue. The funeral

explosion of an engine boiler is an acct

average of once in ten years on the Mil

$4,000 and 100000.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 28.-A
successful train robbery has been exc
cuted by band of thirty men near Viii
ma. No definite statement of the exact
amount of the booty has yet been made,
but it is estimated to vary between $780,
600 and 100000. In addition to this
money there was on board the train val
liable registered correspondence and the
DAVIS receipts from all the railway sta
tions between the frontier and Wilma. The
guard on board the train consisted of six
men only. The robbers took possession
of a small station before the arrival of
the train and shot down the train
guards as the engine slowed up.

1906, Mr. Sherman was a collector OF
money for use in the fall elections. To
Illustrate the extent of his activities in
that position, it is sufficient to quote from
the correspondence made public by Presi-
dent Roosevelt a year ago last April, IN
answer to the celebrated letter Mr.. Har-
riman had written to Sidney Webster. In
The letter of Oct 6. 1906, which the Presi-
dent wrote to Mr. Sherman, occurs this
passage:
"* AS l am entirely willing
that you should show this letter to E.
II. Hartman, l shall begin by repeating
what you told me he said to you on the
occasion last week when you went to ask
nm for contribution to the campaign.
If Mr.. Sherman ever did anything in
pubic life to attract national attention,
prior to his nomination to the vice presl-
dency, it was his appeal to Hartman for
campaign funds in 1906. as revealed by
the Presidents letter Hartman at that
lmc had not become so notorious and so
obnoxious to the American people as he
became somewhat later, yet his business
character and political standing were as
We'll understood in the autumn of 1906 by
Republicans like Mr.. Sherman as they
are to-day. Taken in connection with the
campaign fund publicity issue, the Sher-
