how we would have won if tkeir coun-

gets it just right when it says:

was not known beyond the bounds of
his own state.
The personality of the nominee had

William Jennings Bryan, who has lost
none Of his great personal popularity
and personal magnetism by his recent
defeat for the presidency.
Tampa will entertain Mr.. Bryan IN
its usual liberal fashion. as it has en-

awaiting him a welcome non-partisan,

the eminence of his private citizenship
and for the noble battle he has waged
for honest government and popular
right
It is not amiss to call attention to
the fact that, in securing the presence
OF Mr.. Bryan during the next state
fair, President Brown, of the Chamber
OF Commerce and the state fair asSoci-
alton, has further demonstrated his
value to this city. In no feature has

Then William H. Harrisons name we

Then James K. Polk was the nations

Next for Zachary Taylor she gave her

Whose premature death brought in

And next Franklin Pierce the distine-

Who for Abraham Lincoln prepared

To be followed by Cleveland, a mar

POSTAL CARD FAD.

The postal card craze has now
reached a stage where postal au-
thorities marvel at its magni-
tude. Millions upon millions of
these graphic messages are mail
ed during the year in this coun-
try.
In New York City alone the
postoffice handles no less than
100, 1000 cards every day, and it
is the same story elsewhere-in
Chicago, SanFrancisco, Buffalo,
New Orleans and in all the large
cities. Moreover, it is not in the
United States alone that these
conditions exist. In Europe,
too, the postal services are act
ually inundated with post cards.
1t is officially stated that no less
than 100000, 1000 passed through
the British postofice in 1907.
One hundred thousand post
cards day enough in year, if
laid picture side down, to extend
from New York City to Butte.
Five hundred million-so many
that one might make a belt of
post cards extending completely
around the earth at the equator
without using more than two
thirds of them.
-Four years ago a souvenir
postal card was a novelty; today
the postal card factories cannot
fill their orders, and the demand
comes for them from every re-
mote spot in the world. In the
meantime the fine old art of let
ter writing has fallen into sac
disuse.

ing contract for 1908, and en-
deavors to show how the tax

been robbed out of S154.O0 be-
cause said contract was not given
to the Miner. This is false and
misleading. The Miners bid on
this proposition was STA and
ours $3.50, but we are to do the
newspaper printing, election
ballots, and other necessary
printing that the Miner did not
include. Besides we copy all
the records that we print. This
alone last year at 20 cents per
folio amounted to $3.50 had the
county hired it done or taken it
from the Clerks time. Our lab
or in this is worth as much to
the county as anybody's else ser
vice. Taking the facts into con-
sideration We were the lowest
bidder by over $500. To show
o how the Miner guards the tax
payers interests, let us state
I that the Miner is not so watch

they want to now show them
selves to be. The Miner not two
