EVERY INCIDENT
KEEPS CLOSE TAB ON CONVEN-
TON DO!NGS IN
DENVER.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July s.
There were few visitors at Fairview
yesterday, and none of Importance in
a political way. Mr.. Bryan, how
ever, WAC busy from early morning
until late afternoon. Il special wire
was run to his office, and at his desk,
near which a telegraph operator had
been placed, Mr.. Bryan spent most
of his time until the Denver conven-
ton adjourned.
To inquiries as to whether he would
go to the Denver convention, Mr.
Bryan stated that at present he had
no thought of doing SO, and knew of
no cOntir genCy which might arise to
take him to Denver.
You cannot tell what the future
will bring forth" said he, "but l
know of nothing which will take me
to the convention city"
Mr.. Bryan watched the convention
bulletins closely and those reporting
occasions which brought forth ap-
pIause from the big Denver gathering
were read with evident satisfaction
and cOntented smiles, but not with
looks Of surprise.

the home of the brides parents, Mr..

nue., Rev. I. L. Cory, pastor of the Con
gregational church, officiating
Announcement of the marriage is a
great surprise to local people Mr..
Jones is 70 years of age and his bride
is 40 years his Junior The wedding
is the elimination of romance which
had its beginning a few weeks agn
when Mr.. Jones was patient at the
Waukesha sanitarium, where his
bride of yesterday was trained
nurse. She nursed him through his
illness and an attachment sprang up
between the couple which cipened
into love and ended in their marriage.
The wedding was a quiet affair and
attended only by intimate relatives
of the couple They left Immediately
for Tomah, where they will visit
sister of the bride before leaving on a
short wedding trip in the west. On
their return they will reside for the
summer at the Terrace hotel
Long" Jones was one of the old
war horses of republican politics in
the middle west. During his long resi-
dence in Illinois he held many polite
al Offices and was for y years chair
man OF the republican state central
committee. He was a member of the
lower house of the Illinois legislature
in 1924; secretary of the board of

garden market and employees Of the
publishing houses in the vicinity as
sembled n the street outside. After
the ceremony, the party drove to the
French Protestant church. The en-
trance to this church was blocked by
trucks, and Madame Gould and
prince had to make their way through
a mass Of traffic.
The party passed into the church
almost unnoticed. They were followed
by only half dozen reporters and i
few poorly dressed partshioners. They
were escorted to the yestry and the
pastor, Rev L. DoGremont, escorted
the couple to the altar while Madam
Ranette, a daughter of the assistant
pastor of the church, played the
hymn, Abide With Me, on the organ.
The ceremony was quite in keep
ing with the simple character of the
church, but it was rather long. While
it was proceeding several photograph
ers who had come in with the party
took snap shots of the couple as they
stood at the altar.

! Withholding the shelter Of the tariff
from those who use it, not for legiti-
mate self-protection, but for the GRIM
inal purpose of extorting the last dol
lar from the American consumer.
Says Republicans Fear Publicity.
The corrupt use of large sums Of
money in political campaigns is large
ly responsible for the subversiOn OF
the peoples will at the polls. The
masses are awakening to realization
Of the great power Of gold in contests
that ought to be determined accord
ing to the character Of nominees and
the soundness and morality Of po-
litical issues, and there is a general
demand for publicity in the cOllec-
ton and use of campaign funds 50
that our citizens may know whether
a political party has purchased It,
way into office or has won its victories
by honest means.
''In the Chicago convention a mi
nority report of the committee on
resolutions containing a declaration
in favor of publicity was Overwhelm-
ingly defeated upon a roll call of the
convention and the republican party
placed itself squarely upon record in
favor of concealing the names Of the
contributors and the amounts of their
subscriptions By a vote of fifty
two to one in the committee and a
vote of more than ten to one in the
body of the convention they con
fessed their guilt
"They thus admitted the charge so
publican success in the past has
largely depended upon the vast sums
of money collected from the great
monopolies of the country and cor
ruptly used in the conduct of its
campaigns. Let the voters Of this
country seriously consider whether
the refusal of the republican party
to disclose the sources Of amounts Of
its election finances is not a confess
sion of the debasing and corrupt use
of moneys in its campaigns.
Would Make Senate Popular.
$50 long as we maintain our pres
ent method Of electing United States
senators We cannot hope that the up
per chamber of congress will reflect
the popular wall. On five different
occasions the hause of representa-
tives has passed a constitutional
amendment providing for the cleo
ton of United States senators by the
direct vote of the people, but these
measures have been sandbagged in
the senate by those who are deter
mined that the senate shall not be-
come an integral part 81 our free, rep
resentative institutions.
( "The democratic party will continue
to labor for the direct election OF
United States senators and it appeals
to the voters of America to elect
members Of the different state Iegis-
latures who will pledge themselves
to vote for no candidate for the Unit
ed States senate that is not in favor
of this reform"

tivity in Wisconsin is we'll known, he
having been one of the leaders in the

Mr.. Jones retired from active bust
