Many thus mofe tamilary addressed him
as Bill" and William J' A mighty
shout went ap as he reached out his
hands and caught a cigar makers union
badge which one Of that body threw b
him from the street
The pleasure which the ovation afforded
Bryan was undisguised.H He smiled, smiled
continually, bowed and elapped his hands,
always giving the women in the parade
an equal share Of the applause.
So nsistent for a speech was the crowd
in front Of the hotel that Bryan yielded.
In the course Of a brief address, he paid
a tribute to labor. and said he believed in
the observance of Labor Day because he
thought we all ought TO strive 20 assist
in dignfying in every possible way the
honest toll upon which our nation properly
rests
But this was only feature of the visit
of the democratic nominee Following
the parade. he was whisked away in an
automobile TO the Iroquois club in COM
pany with and followed by many labor
leaders There luncheon was spread and
he made a short speech. The luncheon
concluded, Bryan was conducted to Forest
Park, several miles away where he was
scheduled to deliver Labor day address
There the multitude waited his coming
As he neared the park the word was
passed around and he got another ovation
as he came in sight So eager was the
crowd to catch a glimpse CT and to hear
him. that they got beyond control of the
police WHO were fairly swept of their feet
Bryan himself had 10 struggld TO make

TOO-QUA-STEE ON
DISPENSARY LAW

for Advocating Local Option

Editor Chieftain:

Editor ChieitalM
This is what the Leader says: The dis
peasary system is failure, and OUGHT 70
be voted out Of business November 8.
And this is what the Chieftain says
"This is the first year Of the dispensary,
and will also be the last. At least il is so
hoped"
And this is what the Fort Gibson Post
says. That Billups booze law 10 a
failure, yes. worse than a failure; it is a
nuisance. under which whiskey and beer
are freely introduced, and bootlesgine is
prevalent"
Now locke here boys; let me tell you
something. If you don't quit that mean,
senseless naggine, naeginG,at the temper
anee people of this state, you are going
to bust the Democratic party wide open
in the middle, this fall We temperance
men understand you perfectly You are
not so much mad at the Billups law. your
real grievances is the federal prohibition
law. and, the truth is, you are not very
much out with either. In your strait for
a commodity to barter for the whiskey
vote, you have only Conceived the idea
that our Incompatible dispensary system
is the most available. Who knows but
that. If you really had the courage to do
so. you would not fain quell your fight
upon the dispensary and swing out In
open war upon federal prohibition. in the
hope better to promote the prospects of
Mr.. Bryan for the presidency.
Now locke here. let me tell something
Both parties. Republican and Democ E,
are all equally engaged in this disgraceful
bid for the saloon Influence at the polls
this fall That the republican should
stoop to such dirty business, is no wonder
at all. For. in the first place. they are
desperately in need Of votes, and in the
next place. such a practice Is closely in
line with their education But that the
great party of Thomas Jefferson should
be found following such an example-0l
that is a thing too shameful to think
about.
Look-e here boys lei me tell You some
thing. All the temperance men Of this
state are Democrats, or nearly so. They
are men of character too. They never take
political dogma as q substitute for eternal
truth. They win never consent to sacri-
flee the happiness and honor Of home at
the shrine Of sensual appetite. If your
newspaper men. arroeatine to yourselves
the functions Of political leadership. are
thinking Of leading us to the devil just In
order 10 elevate your candidate 20 the
presidency. be il known to you you are
going to be badly disappointed We are
