Geiser Anti-Brya1l.

M. E. Geiser the Palmer and Bucknerl
candidate for the nomination for con-
gress at the primary next Tuesday was
not in favor of the nomination of Bryan
for president this fall. At his home
caucus in New Hampton held to select
delegates to the democratic county
convention, Geiser was one of mere
handful in crowd of sixty or seventy
to oppose instructions for the Nebras-
kan. Geiser took the floor and made
speech in opposition to instructions and
said in substance that he for one was
sick and tired of the idea that the
Democratic party could find no other
leader. Geiser questioned the wisdom
and propriety of Bryan's nomination
this fall and declared that he would
not attend convention instructed. ?"
His caucus voted him down and in
structed the delegation to the county
convention to work and vote for in
structed delegates to Cedar Rapids.
Yet Geiser's supporters are soliciting
the votes of the Bryan men on the
strength of Geiser's Organism. Cut
it out gentlemen. Geiser was nomi-
mated at ''backroom conference" at
Calmar on April 13 by bunch of ID
Palmer and Buckner democrats who
first tried to pick out man who does
not deny that he voted for Mckinley in
1896 and 1900. Failing to do this they
drafted man who is opposed to in
structions. What kind of a representa-
tive would Geiser make if he does not
propose to obey the instructions of his
constituents? Of course he has a per-
feet right to oppose instructions and to
be against Bryan's nomination. That
is his privilege. But in view of his
position he has no business soliciting
the support of the Bryan Democrats.
And furthermore he won't get it..
Anders will be the nominee. Alta

Miss Ruth Connolly in Graduation
Concert,

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald of
Wednesday contained the following re-
garding the graduation from the Manger
Violin School of that city of Miss Ruth
Connolly of Cresco:
'erhe Manager Violin School graduated
three students on Tuesday evening and
the program, one unusual, was at the
same time one of the most delightful.
The three students were graduated in
the First Congregational church and
were greeted by large and decidedly
appreciative audience of friends,
invited to hear the gifted young artists.
The program, one difficult, was given
with an ease and dignity that proved
the exceptional ability of the students
and the splendid training they have re-
ceived at the hands of Mr.. Manager.
"Miss Connolly, of Cresco, Iowa, a
student of Mt. st. Joseph, played her
solos entirely from memory and with a
surprising grace and dignity of style.
Mature in her interpretative work she
brought out the thought of the
composers in the varied themes"
Miss Connolly's selections were ''Duo
Concertante" by Weber, and Con
certo" by Mendelssohn.

Primary Law Constitutional.

The Supreme Court of Louisi-
ana has reversed the decision of
Judge King of New Orleans and
declared by unanimous opinion
of the court, that the primary cleo
ton law is constitutional.
This decision settles all discus
sion regarding this law. The on
ly thing that is now left to the
people, is to insist that the legis-
latuIe at it's next session amend
the law in order to correct the nu-
merous defects and make the law
a model one. insurlng fairness aud
protecting all candidates and above
all, make all contest appealable to
the courts.
Now that the law is constitution
al, the criminal authorities of New
Orleans can now proceed in the
prosecution of the election thieves,
and if large batch of them can
be removed to the pen. it will
prove a great relief in election aud
political circles of New Orleans
aud the entire State. Let the law
have its course and the guilty ones
receive their just punishment.
Nothing less than the conviction
of the fraudulent manipuiators of
the election will satisfy the honest
people of the State.
