THE SYSTEM VS.. THE PEO-
pie.
The convention tor electinp
delegates to Denver is drawing
near. Richland county will
send a large number of dele
gates to this convention, but
quality is more than quantity
and our county will send not
only a large delegation but al
so one that stands for fair play
and as such will work to the
utmost for the nomination of
the man who breaches and
practices "equal rights to all
and special privileges to no
one," for the man who is hated
by the system" and loved by
the people. 1t will work::Rfor
the man in whom the rank and
file of the democratic party be-
lieves. and not for the man that
the republicans with the aid of
the New York World and other
papers of the subsidized press
are trying to nominate. Tie
republicans are very anxious
to give advice to the demo-
Gratis, as to whom they should
nominate, but we democrats
heed it not. An advice given
by a Napoleon to a Duke of
Wellington before the battle of
Waterloo would be followed by
the said Duke, if he were-in-
sane. l hope the democracy of
1908 is safe and sane and listen
to the voice of the people rath-
er than to the delusive, pater-
nal admonition of those who
have the same interest in the
democratic party as the spider
has in the fly. "Walk into my
parlor," says the spider to the
fly, Nominate this man or that
man, but do not nominate
Bryan" says the system. "He
is dangerous"-to the system.
Nominate Bryan says the peo-
pie because he is dangerous to
the syst m. The delegates
from Richland county will be
representatives of the people
and they will go to Grand Forks
to work and vote for Bryan
delegates to the Denver con-
vention.

are the chances for the nomination of man who would satisfactorily con- serve Eastern Democrats, and that conferences would probably be held with prominent Democrats who hold similar views.
 It was intimated that if 1t Is found that the nomination of Mir. Bryan is most to havs- adopted platform which would not aiienate Eastern or what has been known for several years as "Cleveland" Democrats.
 He and other Eastern Democrats do not favor the Nehraeka anti-injunction plank which they think spells defeat for the Democratic ticket in the East. Judge Parker's disclaimer of having been involved in the preparation of anti-Bryan program was in the form of statement that be had not att tended any conferences Of any members Of the New York delegation, and that he had paid no attention to convention arrangements thus far except to arr range to come here after he had been elected as a delegate at large.
 It is known that Mir. sheehan i'm tends to have conferences early with Frederick B. Lynch. manager for Cow ernor Johnson, and Josiah Marvel. manager of the boom for Judge Gray. AaG ARO10 9& stfIG1 tGAAcASAASC WAAA be to ascertain what strength Is pos. sessed oy the candidates opposed to Bryan.
 Should these conferences prove the accuracy Of Mir. Bryan's claims of suf- ncisnt strength to insure his nonina- ton or the first ballot, conferences win then be held between such men as are antagonistic to the Nebraska auti-in- Junction plank.
 In arranging for conferences of this character, many of these men insist that the purpose is to provide a plat form on which all Democrats can stand and to promote party harmony. They declare that Mir. Bryan's record is such that 1t is not necessary to put in the platform blanks more radical than those adopted in the last three Demo- cratic National Conventions.

 The shooting occurred in the work room of the pressing club, and Dowdle was cleaning his pistol at the time He was under the impression that all the cartridges had been lemoved, and pointing the weapon at Howell, pulled the trigger, one cartridge. which was a little shorter than the rest. had been overlooked and exploded with the fall of the hammer.
 The bullet. which was 32-calibre entered the ieshy part of Howell's leg, causing a wound which though pain ful. is not considered dangerous.
 This is the third accidental shooting which has occurred here during the past two weeks, one of the young men who was shot having died as result of his wounds.
