doing is kept up thruout the campaign
In the minds of republicans the ma
jority between the republicans and
democrats in Iowa has been growing
greater instead of less and is too great
now to be wiped out. The 100000 for
Roosevelt and Mckinley is not so far
above the normal republican vote and
there is no great national crisis that
could cause any great shake-up In the
parties The normal republican and
democratic vote is looked for by the
republicans this year which means a
good majority for the republicans.

BRYAN is BITTER.
RidicuIes Taft and G. o. p. in Tama
Address,

Cedar Rapids, Oct TT present my
self as an example of one who has out
lived the venomous attacks of his OPP
ponents. You heard me called dem
agog twelve years ago. You saw them
bury me and you heard them chant
their songs over my grave, and now
they have to explain why it happened
that l was not dead"
With great fervor William j. Bryan
facing vast assemblage in the Chau-
tauqua auditorium, between Tarna and
Toledo, IN this state. delivered himself
of this utterance. His remark followed
q bitter denunciatfon of Mr.. Taft for
refusing to agree to a publication oil
campaign contributions before cleo
tions. mo honest man and no political
party conducting an honest campaign,
he declared need be afraid of the
light"
At Woodward he heaped ridicule on
the republicans by charging them with
taking cr,sdit for the growth of crops,
the shining of the sun and the bringing
of rain In fact, he said. "they seize
upon any thing that they thing gives a
plausible excuse for voting the repub-
lican ticket"
At Maxwell he compared the grant
ing Of special privileges to a case OF
poison in the human system.
"There has been q poison at work in
There has been a poison at work IN
our politics." he declared. "and today
It's manifestations are such THAT l be-
lieve the American people are ready to
apply the remedy. and that poison is
the poison of privilege. the poison OF
favoritisnl. Our government has been
run too largely in the interest of the
favored few"
Drawing large crowds all day in his
travels thru the state, the democratic
candidate, hurled defiance at his op-
ponents md challenged them to meet
his arguments. Fifteen speeches and
shaking the hands of thousands con-
statuted his days work, the concluding
speech being made here last night in
the Auditorium, which was filled to ov-
erflowing long before he was sched-
uled to arrive. Previous to going TO the
hall he yaas serenaded AT the hotel and
addresse,l' AN immense throng from the
balcony. The keynote of his principal
remarks here last night was that re-
publican policies meant disaster. while
democratic policies meant prosperity.

BIGGS BOYS SUSPECTED
New Evidence as to Killing of EnocI
johnson Introduced in Hearing for
Parole of Rainsbarsers.

Senator ]. L. Carney, counsel for
the Rainsbarger brothers in their ap-
peal for parole, tells of new evidence
which has been secured which casts
suspicion upon the Biggs brothers,
John and Milton, ex-convicts, for the
killing of Enoch johnson, the crime
for which the Rainsbarger brothers
contend they have been unjustly i'm
prisoned.
j. H. Tisel made for them an affi-
davit that he overheard plotting be-
tween Mag Johnson, the wife Of
Enoch johnson, and the Biggs boys,
wherein the killing of johnson was
discussed and the methods to be en-
ployed were talked over.
Mag Johnson was the mother of Net
tie Rainsbarger, and it is admitted on
all sides that she was at the Revere
house at Ackley with one Joshua West,
going there the night of the murder by
appointment with West. Joshua West,
now Of Waterloo, made new affidavit
on the present hearing that he went
there and from all the circumstances
and appearances he believed that Mrs.
johnson knew that her husband was
to be killed and had merely provided
that trip as a means of proving where
she was on that night. He gave in
detail in his affidavit the reasons for
that belief. The next morning he went
back to Clifford and was one of the
first who saw the body of Enoch
Johnson.
Mr.. Carney explains that the Haley
woman, formerly Mrs. Nettie Rains-
barger, whose testimony seems to be
the principle opposition ito the parole
of the Rainsbarger men, was the wife
of Frank Ra.insbarger instead of Nath-
an Rainsbarger, as erroneously stated
;in these columns yesterday. He says
that the plea for a. parole as presented
in behalf of the Rainsbarger brothers,
is supported by a petition containing
the signatures of 2S4 of the leading and
representative business men and cltl-
zens of the communities OF Eldora and
Ackley, besides a former petition OBJ
.xlined two years ago and containing
THE names of 200 other citizens OF these
same communities.
According to Mr.. Carney, DIT Is the
belief of these friends of the Rainsbar-
gers that they have been unjustly am-
prisoned; for a crime that was com :
mitted by others; that the claim of
murderous assault being made upon DR..
Underwood was a pretense concocted
by the enemies of the Rainsbargers at
the time They also contend that the
testimony of the Haley woman should
not be given much weight for the
reason that they have introduced com :
petent evidence to the effect that her
character is bad and they also cite the
fact that while she did testify in one
of the trials to finding blood upon the
clothes of her husband at the time OF
the murder of Johnson, she had pre-
viously testified before the coroner's
Jury to the effect that there was no
evidence of blood upon her husbands 9
clothes and she made statements to
other parties to the same effect From
this they argued that her testimony
could have been and probably was
manufactured for the occasion.

GUFFEY SAYS HASKELL LIES.
Denies Talking Petroleum to President
Roosevelt or Having Oil Relations.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. I'm reply to
Governor HaskelPs open letter to
President Roosevelt, in which Colonel
J. NJ. Guffey. former democratic ma
tional committeeman from Pennsylvan-
la, and II. w. Barnsdall, Pittsburg oil
operators, are charged with being
agents for the Standard Oil company
and in that capacity with having en-
gagged in conferences with President
Roosevelt the following statement was
given out by Colonel Guffey:
'Haskell's statement that [ ever dis
cussed the Usage oil lease with the
president is an absolute falsehood. The
fact is, never met or spoke to Presi-
dent Roosevelt but once, and that was
ait a reception and dinner given to him
on July 4, 1902, at the Schenley hotel,
Pittsburg.
"That / am connected with the
Standard Oil company is a lie, more
than thirty years old. revived every

deaNoring to shield his own iniquities.
