Judge Allen opened court at 10

not present when court opened, but
came in later. accompanied by his at

The attorney read Secretary O'Con-
ner's answer to the mandamus writ
granted by the court and the order
made against him. i-.
The answer maintained that. II
O'Conner should obey the district
court. he would be in contempt of the

Judge Walter N Dixon made ar
guments showing that O'ConneI
would not be in contempt of the su'
preme court. but was in contempt oi
the district court. = ~
After hearing the arguments,
Judge Allen rendered an emphatic
decision declaring that O'Conner was
in contempt, and ordered the sheriff

The attorney for O'Conner took ex-

That the majority of Grand juno
ton and Mesa county are deeply IN
terested in seeing William Jennings
Bryan elected president of the United
States has been demonstrated in
many ways during the months of the
campaign. One of the most effective
proofs of this interest is the fact that
scores of Grand Junction and Mesa
county people have contributed to the
national Democratic campaign fund
and the greater number of these con-
tributions have been made through
The Daily Sentinel.
Over 500 Sent In.
In a county supposed to be strong
ly Republican over four hundred dol
lars has been voluntarily contributed
in sums ranging from S1.00 to SO
to the national Democratic campaign
fund. This is indeed a splendid
showing. II is no easy matter to Sc
cure a goodly sum of money in a
single county for "a national campaign
fund when there are always needs
for contributions for state and coun-
ty campaign funds, needs that the
voters usually feel require and COM
mand their first considerations.
Through the efforts of The SEN
tinel nearly 5000 has been raised for
the Bryan fund. The greater portion
of this fund has come in from Grand
Junction people and at least nine
tenths has come in from Sentinel
readers. Besides the amount collect
ed by The Sentinel two or three hun
dred dollars has been sent into the
national committee from Fruita. Pal
isade and other points in the county.
The Fruita Democrats alone contrib
uted about 3125 to the national Dem

From the Common People.


The great majority of these con-
tributions have come from people in
the common walks of life, people who
can afford to contribute but very lit
tie to such funds but who have given
their dollars willingly and voluntar-
lily, desiring to do their part toward
sending the true friend of the masses,
William Jennings Bryan, to the
White House. To no national cam
paign fund in the history of Am
erican politics have their been such
a vast number of contributors as
there have been to the Bryan fund.
Over 10000 people have up until
today contributed to the fund that
will meet the legitimate expenses of
the national campaign and at least
10000 of these contributors have
been men and women in moderate
circumstances, many of whom made
sacrifices to give their modest con-
tributions.
No Corporation Gifts.
Not a great corporation has con-
tributed cent to the Democratic ma
tional campaign fund. Their con-
tributions have gone to the Taft fund.
The Republican managers are silent
as to whom has given to their funds.
They dare not make the list known.
At the request of Mr.. Bryan the
Democratic national convention pro-
vided that all contributions to the
Democratic fund should be made
public and this plan is being followed
to the letter.
No single contribution for more
than $4,000 would be accepted by
the Democratic party. Andrew Car
