A. T. Dumm's Speech.

"A L. D0nu" S Speech
Hon. A. T. Dunn, formerly of
Salisbury, now assistant reporter
for the supreme court, filled his
appointment to speak on the
political issues of the day at the
courthouse in Keytesville Friday
night, and all who heard him
were more than pleased with his
address.
He was introduced by Dr..
Hughes, vice-president of the
Keytesville Township Bryan
Democratic club, in a neat little
speech which he closed by saying
that the audience would find be-
fore Mr.. Dunn had finished what
he woulo have to say that he had
the most inappropriate name cf
any man on earth.
/ MIR. DUNN began his address
by saying that it gave him great
pleasure to look into the faces of
Charlton county Democrats, and
that the first vote he ever
cast was in Charlton county for
Wm.J. Bryan for president in
1896, and that he would be proud
of that vote to the last day of his
life, and that he was still fighting
for the same Democracy now as
then, the only difference being
that his Democracy was 100 per
cent stronger and so per cent
purer in 1908 than it was in 1896.
He predicted that his own
county of Cole, while generally
close in political contest, would
roll up the 3rd Of November a
) majority of from $50 to 500 for
Brys an and Cowherd and the en-
) tire Democratic ticket, and that
there were no Democrats and few
Republicans who did not believe
> that the next president of the
: United States and the next gov.
e1nor of Missouri would be Dem
oorats. Politics, he declared,
, was the science of government,
. and for that reason every man
3 should become interested in poll.
t tics and help to shape the desti.
3 MES of the country. The Demo.
/, cratic party stands for equal
rights to all and special privileg es
9 to none.
i Referring to national issues
|. Mr.. Dunn said that there were
,. enough candidates to satisfy the
most aesthetic taste. One can L.
didate is in Jail, running for
president by proxy, and six othe rs
It a'e out of Jail running for the
q. same office.
U One of the most important is.
) sues now before the people, Mr.
U DUNN held, was the election oi
I; United States senators by a di-
U rect vote, and that Senator Stone
; and Gov. Folk both favored it.
o and Stone tried To have such 6
F; resolution adopted by the United
lt States senate, but failed to get i
!. through, while the national Re-
It publican convention at Chicago
q this year had refused to adop
such resolution by vote ot
about Z to 1.
j. Mr.. DUNN called the attention
n of the audience to the fact tha
# Senator Mark Hanna had raised
. Republican campaign fund o.
@ S16, 100000 in 1896, and which
/. could not have been spent legiti-
:. mately, and had it not been fol
e such a large corruption fund a
st tie disposal of Republicans
a Bryan would have been elected
q president in 1896. MIR. Dunn
If also refreshed the memory of hi
hearers in regard to the cam
er paign fund of sI50,00O that wa
+ raised by one VIM. Hartman TO
=, the Republicans in 1904, an'
stated that $4,000 of that amour

While the editor of the CoU.
RIER was in Forest Green Tues
day evening, Constable John
Hoersoh showed us a coat that
was literally cut to pieces.
The coat belonged to a darkey
by the name of Henry Rucker,
who was unluckily in the coat
and was carved about as badly
as it was.
The man who welded the razor
or pocket. knife 80 fiercely on
Rucker' S neither garment and his
person was negro named Spsn-
Ger White, who attacked Rucker
in a jealo US rage because of the
bewitohing smiles he h ad bestowed
on and the many pigeon wings he
had been cutting around Whites
wife.
Three ugly gashes we're cut
criss-cross on Rucker's back and
one on one of his legs while
White held him in a vise.like
grasp. 1t took 35 stitches by DR..
G. w. Lswhorn of Forest Green
to sew up Rucker's wounds, and
the doctor says he could have
laid his arm in the three outs on
Fuckers back when he first saw
them. Notwithstanding the pa
tient was able to be out the next
day, and his wounds are now
healing quite rapidly.
White skipped out after ap.
peasing his wrath on Fucker, and
had not returned up to last ae-
counts. He will, however, prob
ably come back, stand trial, and
plead "the unwritten law" as
justification for his lively and
vicious whiting on Fuckers an.

RADIO, July Z.
The most interesting part OF the pro-
ceedings began when the question Of
instructing the Nevada delegates to
vote for Bryan in the National Conven-

ing Frank P. Mannix of Rhyolite. Nye
County, as temporary chairman of the
convention.
Supreme Judge J.. G.. Sweeney led
the fight against i%nstructing for Bryan,
and John Considine was the leader Of
the forces in favor of ~instructing. The
fight in the convention waged hot and
furious at times, and when the battle
ended it was found the Bryan men had
carried the day by overwhelming odds.

OF INTEREST TO RANcHERS
The Experiment Of Growing Sorghum on
rur.k. County Ranch q Success

The Experiment Of Growing Sorghum on
Eureka County Ranch a success
Mr.. Weber. manager of the Grayson
ranch at Beowawe in Eureka County.
recently told the Elko Independent that
he planted a small patch of sorghum
two ago and that 1t made such
hue feed for cattle that he sent to
Missouri for more seed and planted a
larger patch last year. The yield was
about seven tons to the acre. He found
that cattle ate ID readily in the Winter,
and thrived ON it. His experiments
proved so successful that he will SOW
two tons of seed this year. A ton OF
the dry sorghum. he says. equals a ton
II alfalfa. The seed costs five cents a
pound. Mr.. Weber has promised to re.
port TO the Independent the result OF
mis- crop this year. II it proves the
success he thinks it will, the raising OF
sorghum Will be a profitable industry
for the farmers of Nevada.
