.BRYAN'S FRIENDSHIP
FOR JOHN c. WELTY
Of LONG DURATION

In reference to the article printed
in the Morning News recently regard,
ing the fall down of Mayor Johnson
In the good graces OF Bryan because
he refused to heed a personal re-
quest Of Bryans to pull of Pomerene
from his work of cutting Welty's
political throat for the nomination
for governor, party who is we'll in.
formed gives the following incident
as being the cause OF the very warm
feeling entertained by Bryan for
Welty.
1t was at the National Democratic
convention twelve years ago when
the famous contest between the gold
and 16 to l Democrats was in full
force. Welty had championed the
cause of the Bryanites in this dis
trict and was there to argue the CON
tests from this, the Eighteenth Ohio
district, where Ed. H. Raff and John
II. Clarke as Gold Democrats were
oontesting. Bryan was there repre-
senting Missouri contest. He heard
WeIly make his argument and after
the close he proposed to Welty that
they Jointly make a fight for Michigan
contestants, Michigan having been
passed for some reason. They ar
gued on this contest until the small
hours of the morning and from that
day the friendship of Bryan for Welty
has remained unshaken, as Bryan re-
fuses to entertain any suggestion of
unfaithfulness on the part of any man
for Welty, who stood up in the dark
days of the silver fight for Bryan's
principles. II was this friendship
that caused Bryan to come to Welty's
rescue. in his congressional fight two
years ago. and he is reported to have
been much angered at Johnson In
playing the Pomerene trick In the
governorship hght. 1t is freely pre-
dicted that Welty's endorsement in
this district in The event of Bryan's
election would go far to the securing
Of the presidential favor for prefer
ence for an appOintive Office.

fred G. Boulton, Robert Stewart,
Charles Frederick Adams, Durbin B.

vote for Bryan and Kern regardless of
the action of the Independence
League national convention soon to
be held in Chicago.

League of the Tenth Assembly dis
trict on Friday night Bryan and Kern

egates to the Chicago convention and
urge them to work for the Denver

The recognition of labor unions in all
legitimate efforts to properly regulate

FOREIGNERS OUT OF
WORK ARE STEALING
EACH OTHERS SAVINGS

Mike Premavarai, foreigner, living
at the corner of Madison and Robin
streets, reports to the police that his
room was entered and that his saw
ings, amounting to $142 were stolen
from him. Joseph Bair, who is sus-
pected of knowing something about
the matter, is being held as sus-
pect.
Since the foreigners, who have been
out of work for some time. are get
ting hard up they have commenced to
steal from each other and the police
expect considerable trouble in this
line in the foreign districts. Chief
of Police Smith has asked for an in
crease of his force. but the council
did not provide any money for this
purpose when they passed the ap-
preparation ordinance. Some Of the
councilmen were willing to increase
the force some time ago, but the mat
ter was lost sight of when 1t came
to the furnishing of the money. All
of the men who have been working as
extras have been laid off by the chief.

AUTO AND TRAIN
Collide and Former Is Badly Dam,
aged But Occupants Escape
Unscathed.

A large Cadillac automobile owned
by Isaac Harter was struck by 8

west rail. He noticed the passenger
train and the ladies' left the car as
soon as they noticed that a collision
was inevitable unless the train stop,

train, but before this could be done
the car was struck and thrown TO the
south side Of Third street. Mr.. Will
liams says that the accident happen.
ed on account of his being Oyercau-
tiOus and his inability to back up in
time.
This has been very dangerous
crossing. as the TRACKS at this point
are generally obscured from view by
cars standing on the siding. The
strange part Of the whole matter Ia
that the engine In the car never stop
ped running and by putting a small
truck under the front axle 1t was
backed TO Wilson's garage with iss

GOMPERS
WILL MAKE FORMAL
STATEMENT
Of His Position in the
Fall Campaign
Issue Of Federationist
Was Held up For the
Labors Leaders An
nouncement - Sticks
by Bryan.

Washington, July 19-What Samuel
Gompers has to say on politics to
labor he wishes to have appear in the
next issue of the Federationist, which
will be issued this week Mr.. Com
pers is due at headquarters in Wash
ington tomorrow and it is expected
that he will have a statement for
general publication in answer to the
shots that some labor leaders have
taken at him for attempt to count the
labor vote for Bryan.
1t was feared by Mr.. Gompers that
the August number of the official or
gan of the American Federation might
get to press before he could get here
with his political editorials so. he
rushed Frank Morrison, secretary of
the federation from Erie, Pa, on to
Washington, to hold 1t up.
Gompers will tell the voters that
he does not see how they can vote the
Republican ticket this fall and still
be union men. The editorial will i'm.
plore labOring men to vote once for
labor instead of for party
Central Labor bodies throughout
the United States will be called upon
to hold mass meetings of members to
approve the course of President Com
pers in pledging support to the Demo-
cratic ticket. GOmpers will recall that
he was authorized by the representa-.
tives of the federation last March to
appeal to the Democratic party in
case the Republican party refused to
grant their demands.
Above all that there will be proc
lamatiOn from Gompers calling on or
ganized labor to vote for Bryan and
for the principles for which labor
has been fighting under a Republican
administration"
Federation officials here say that a
new method of attack is to be made
on all members of congress who OPP
posed the Gompers program of legis-
lation last winter. Instead of advo-
eating the election of the opposition
candidate in the congressional dis
trict in which fight is to be made,
an Independent candidate will be
who will be counted on to
split the vote so that either the In
dependent or a Democrat will be
elected. This is another idea of Com.
pers.

BATTLESHIP CREWS
Highly Enjoy Their Liberty at Homo
lulu and Make Fun for Natives.

Honolulu, July 1.-THE men of the
battleship fleet are enjoying them
selves hugely here. A majority of
them received shore leave today and
went to Waikiki, a watering place a
short distance from Honolulu where
a water carnival was held.
Hundreds of the sailors sought to
initiate the natives in the sport of
surf bathing but the truth is they
made funny failures of their attempts
and nearly all of them found them
selves fioundering in the ocean in
stead of coming, as did the natives,
through the surf at top speed on a
piece of plank. However, the sailors
had lots of fun themselves and fur
nished much amusements for the hun
dreds ashore watching them.
The third division of the fleet is ex-
pected to arrive here from Maui this
evening.

AND ALSO WRATH
Congressman Kennedy Causes Uproar
by Asking Senator to Speak-Wnl
Have to Explain offcious Con-
duct to Leaders.

Columbus, O., July 19.-When the
Republican state central committee
meets in Cincinnati on July 27, in con-
nection with the notification of Sec.
retary Taft of his nomination for the
presidency, Chairman Henry A. Will
liams will formally announce the
opening of the campaign in Youngs-
town on September S.
Then will come up for discussion
the alleged officiousness of Congress-
man Kennedy, of Youngstown, in go.
ing about and arranging for the open
ing without consulting the committee,
and also with engaging Senator For
aker to make an address, without OBJ
tanning the committees consent.
II is said that this Is not the first
time that Kennedy has shown his off,
ciousness. Kennedy has already been
informed that he should not overexert
himself during the hot spell, and that
in due time the state committee
would attend to the mater OF selecting
speakers for the opening.
Before the committee goes ahead
with its arrangements 1t will seek to
ascertain In just what manneG, ,Eor,.
aker intends to support the Taft and
Sherman ticket in the coming con-
test. Foraker, after Taft's nomina-
ton, sent him note Of congratuIa-
tion, and few days ago predicted
that both Taft and Harris would
carry Ohio. But between these two
expressions, he has made an address
in Cincinnati in which he praised Taft
personally, but criticised him OFF,
cially.
1t is this that has stirred up a feel
ing of uncertainty among the COM
mittee members and Kennedy's "pre-
viousnsss" in inviting Foraker will
bring down on that congressman's
head a storm OF criticism and as a re-
suit of little lukewarmness may be
shown by the state party leaders in
the outcome of Kennedy's personal
campaign in the Eighteenth district.
Chairman Brown, of the central
committee, was ignored entirely by
Kennedy. and Brown is now in a
humor to do little ignoring on his
own hook
