Of the New York Herald, whose fore.

IL is considered that this forecast
places Maryland in 'the reasonablv

that the poll does Bryan a compli-

is Mr.. BRYAN AFRAID2

Mr.. Bryan made a speech two hours
long in Madison Square Garden, but he
did not answer the Presidents ques-
tions, says the New York Times. Mr..
Roosevelt asked him to state frankly
whether Mr.. Gompers told the truth
when he declared in public letter
that tie Democratic party had made
labor's contentious its own, and that
Its candidates for Office were pledged
ito those remedies which labor had
already submitted to Congress-" the
remedies in question being the 1egaliza.

pers, and then deserving him. That
charge may be well founded, but 1t is
no answer to the President, 1t does
not satisfy the perfectly legitimate
desire Of the American people to know
whether Mr.. Gompers has pledged Mr..
Bryan to the overthrow Of the safe.
guards that protect property and the
right to do business against unlawful
and destructive acts.
The issue is too plain to be missed
BY anybody. The remedies wafch
labor has submitted to Congress are
contained in the Pearre bill, which
provides that mo right ~ to

VENA1CHEE HAS
REAL LIVE ORATOR
ALMOST FALLS INTO THE HANDS
OF BILL SIMMONS. WHO SEEKS
EDUCATED BOARDERS.

A number of sons of rest or home
less tollers lOunging in the city park
today were given sample of real
oratory."
A wild-eyed and long-hairei calam-
ity-hOWler saw his chance to win a
few converts to his fantastic belief.
Armed with a biscuit box for plat
form and a few pounds of campaign
literature (fOr sale) could be seen
heading for Wenatchee's plaza, AMI
We scribe sneaked along in the rear
of a convenient tree to hear the open-
ing address.
Picking out particularly crowded
nook the orator placed his box on
the ground, mopped his brow with a
red handkerchief, cleared his throat.
and began:
Fellow citizens, have come here
this afternOon-''
One gaunt, skinny-looking chap,
who had had some personal quarrel
with Jim Hill about the management
of the earth, and couple of other
doZers woke up, yaWned and moved
off to another spot.
Il want to say to you, brethren -
added the spellbinder
'Bret hren' was too much for an
other bunch, and they hiked for a
quiet spot.
I'VE are being ground down ana
crushed beneath the cruel heel
OIL
Sure, Bill Simmons will get his, -
interrupted a red-nosei son of Bac-
chus, as he and three or four more
/ ducked for cover.
In about five minutes the orator
was talking to few shade trees and
himself. So he got down from his
box ana took up his position in an
other part of the park.
Il have just finished an address to
a large audience" was the opener
there, land my hearers were deeply
moved by my words
Sure. we all moved" said vic
tim of the first sally
What l desire to say is that Chief
Ferguson IS
You're liar" said somebody, and
while he was trying to explain what
he was going to say he was alone for
/! the second time, Bill Simmons hav-
, ing hove in sight with his new politi-
cal smile, and the orator linked,
raving and roaring about capital AMI
labor, trusts and barons right glibly,
sore because nobody would buy his
'literachooer."
