A LAWYER AND A
NEWSPAPER MAN
Before Gaining RenOwn as
Orator and Candidate.
WENT TO CONGRESS IN 1881
Has Travelled All Over the
World and Gained Dis
tinctiOn as Editor.

Williams Jennings Bryan, before at
tanning sudden renown as one of the
worlds foremost orators, was a law
yer and a newspaper man. Born in
Salem, ILL.,, March 10, 1860, he gradu-
ated from the Illinois College, at jack
sonville, at the age of twenty-one,
carrying off highest honors in every
lining. Two years later he graduated
in law and practiced four years, af-
ter which he went to Lincoln, Ne
braska, which traces most of its fame
10 his residence there.
In 1891 Bryan went to Congress
from the first Nebraska district, and
Stayed there four years. He received
the Democratic vote for United States
Senator from Nebraska in 1893, but
was defeated by Senator Thurston,
Republican. In1S94 he accepted the
editorship of the Omaha World-Herald,
agreeing to fill not less than a GER
tain amount of space each day. Hard
ly . day passed by but he wrote even
more than he had contracted for, be-
cause he always had a great deal to
say on political issues.
In 1896 Bryan went to the National
Democratic Convention, wrote the fa-
nous Silver plank" made the SPELL
binding Grown of Gold" speech, took
tine convention by storm and walked
away with the nomination for Presi-
dent. He went to the convention the
editor OF a flrst-class daily news
paper and came away the foremost or
ator and leader of his party, since
when he has held the first title UNI
interruptedly and the second with al
most the same tenure.
In the campaign of 1896 Bryan trav-
eled $4,000 miles, speaking at almost
every flag station, but in the election
he received only 176 votes to William
McKinley's 271. From that time for
ward he has spent most of his time
occurring and travelling, being, per-
haps, the highest priced lecturer in
the United States, and by far the one
in most general demand. He raised
The Third Regiment of Nebraska vol
unteers in the Spanish-American war,
and became its Colonel. In 1900 he
was again nominated for President,
this time by the Democrats, Populists
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1908-07-22

and Silver Republicans. Imperialism
was made the paramount issue, but
Bryan went down again to defeat, very
disastrously, the electoral vote being
1866 to 292 in favor of Mckinley.
After the election Bryan established
the Commoner, a weekly political mag
azine. In 1906 he made a tour of the
world, writing newspapers and maya
zine articles of the trip. When he
returned a public demonstration was
given him in New York, which was
.he greatest in point of numbers in
attendance and enthusiasm, ever ac-
corded a private American citizen.
Since then his title as the Peerless
Nebraskan" and the Great Common
err has never been questioned by
his followers, and there has been lit
tie doubt as to His nomination for
the Presidency in 1908. Like Daniel
Webster, he has gained the reputa-
ton of being the foremost orator OF
his day and time, and the most ex-
perienced aspirant and candidate for
the Presidency of the United States.

no good for their party in this Presi-
Dental election year.
WEST VIRGINIA OUTLOOK.
Visitors from West Virginia, in
GLIDING we'll known men of both
parties, bring the same stories as TO
the war going on between the Re
publican factions in that State. S.
w. Walker, of Martinsburg, law part
ner of former Senator Faulkner, says
that the intense feeling between
these factions will cer,Rinly result in
the State going Democratic this
year. Neither side is willing to yield,
and even il the Taft managers were
to have one tickle. pulled down, the
sores would not be healed. The DEM
ocran in West Virginia are united
and expect TO mans ticket soon
that will probably win the fight in
both che State and national contests
and a couple of Democrats ought to be
able to get into Congress as a re-
suit Of the Republican split.

frey secretary. About 100 stockhold-
ers were in attendance. They were
chiefly from those sections OF the
county in which the farmers are oppo-
sed to the new tobacco association and
they opposed everything looking to con
solidation.
Henry Berry, president of the Green
River Tobacco Growers association,
addressed the meeting. He spoke
along the lines of harmony and unity
and of the different tobacco association
getting together. He also reported
from the Bowling Green meeting of
tobacco men recently held for the pur-
pose of deciding as to the necessity
of keeping up a general national tobac
co organization. He said it was I'M
animousiys agreed that there should
be a national association. In con-
Guiding he pleaded with the home
warehouse men to back up the new
tobacco association.
S. r. Burns asked if he thought
planters would be allowed to sell their
leaf from the wagon this fall. He
answered that he thought there would
be no trouble at all this fall.
Emison Shaw asked if he did not
think there would again be trouble
over the grading of the tobacco Mr.
Berry answered that he did not think
so. He thought all would be salts
factoryif only the tobacco were all
gotten in one pool. Give us the to-
bacco and let us have the people be-
hind us and wewill grade the tobac-
co to suit you and it will have to
suit the buyers" said Mr.. Berry, in
conclusion and he was heartily APP
plauded.
J. NJ. Hay said he was for unity and
single pool but he thought the
home warehouse company was being
asked to give up too much. He had

1.-THE NEGROES
ARE ORGANIZING
To Accomplish the Defeat
of Taft.
LEADERS URGE THEIR PEOPLE
~
To Support Bryan-WOrry of
Managers in West Vir-
ginia and Elsewhere.

Washington, July 17.-If results are
what the Rev. DR.. ]. Milton Waldron
predicts, Mr.. Tart will be defeated
for President, for this negro preacher
and politician for the pending cam
paign says the National Negro Ameri-
/ can Political League, of which he
is President, will do it's utmost to beat
the Republican candidate.
Or. Waldron has telegraphed Mr..
Bryan that from reports received from
all portions of the country he can
count upon 20 per cent. of the negro
vote in November. Mr.. Bryan is con-
graduated by the league ON being the
nominee of representatives of The
American people and not of the hire
lings of boss"
A number of the leading negro
bishops and preachers ale members
of the league and it is claimed THAT
the organization now has a member
ship of fully 100000. The pastors of
some of the largest negro churches OF
Washington are officers of the league
and it is stated that no matter how
much persuasion may be used by Re-
publican campaign managers, these
people are determined to do their ut
most to defeat Taft and bring about
the election of Bryan.
DR.. Waldoron insists that If Taft
is not defeated and that result brought
about ,, largely through the votes of
his race, the negro Is going to get
even worse treatment than he has re-
ceived at the hands of the Republican
party after the coming election. For
that reason he thinks his people
should either vote outright for Bryan
or remain away from the polls. The
statement is made that the league will
soon begin the publication of news
paper at Chicago, where headquarters
are to be maintained during the cam
paign.
Along this line the following tele-
gram was sent to Mr.. Bryan:
"The Hon William ]. Bryan, Fair
view, Lincoln, Neb.-We congratulate
yo.. upon your nomination to the
Presidency by Representatives OF the
American people-nOt by hirelings OF
boss-and we predict your election
next November by a handsome ma
jori.y. Judging from assurances given
us by our people throughout the North
and West, wou will receive 70 per
cent. of the colored vote.

TRIBUTE PAID
BEN JOHNSON
By His Home People of
Nelson County.
ARE PROUD OF HIS RECORD
And Are Booming Him for
the GOvernOrShip Three
Years Hence.

Bardstown, KY, July 15.-Once
again is the old adage hat "a proph-
ct is not without honor save in his
OWE country" disproved, for Bards-
town and Nelson county signally hon
ored one of its prophets and most
dis lnguished citizens last night when
the Bards.own Commercial Club ten
dered the Hon. Ben Johnson, Con-
gresham from ihe Fourth district, a
! banquet as a token of the love, es-
teen and appreciation in which he is
held by his home people.
More than 100 of the leading Gil
liens of Bardstown and Nelson county
gathered at the banquet board to do
honor to the man who served them
so faithfully in the Federal Congress,
who is one of Bardstown's Leading Git
liens and progressive business men,
and who was born and bred within
he confines of cultured Nelson
Around the board sat the captains Of
industry of this thriving little city,
the financiers of the county, the farm
ers and agriculurists, men from
all walks in life, representing the
best citizenship of Nelson county.
Their presence served to prove that
Ben Johnson IS honorcd by his neigh
bors and associates.
When Mr.. Johnson arose to speak,
which was at the close of the fesItiv-
tiles, he was accorded a reception
and demonstration OF which any man
might be proud. 1t was just such
demonstration as is accorded a grea.
leader of a great people, as would
be accorded a man who had earned
the plaudits of a grateful people. 1t
was a demonstration of true love and
affection and proved conclusively that
Nelson county loves and revereS Ben
Johnson, and that his success is the
one thing uppermos, in the minds of
his friends.
While Mr.. Johnson did not refer
10 It, the banquet served to present
Mr.. Johnson to the people of Ken
lucky as a Democratic candidate for
Governor three years from now. The
first reference 20 his probable can
dldacy was made by Sam 7. Spaldlng,
of Lebanon, and the sentiment was
cheered to the echo. Staid business
men and professional men forgot
their dignity for The nonce and shout
ed hurrahs hat shook the rafters OF
Johnson's Hall, where the banquet
was held. They all declared that
they would work to the end that Mel
sons favorite son might receive the
highest honor Within the gift of the
people of Kentucky, and would not be
satisfied until Mr.. Johnson is INSTALL
ed in the gubern2torial chair atFrank-
fort.
