According to news from Palouse city
decided opposition has developed to

years ago.
Friends of Brown have been quietly
circulating a petition in the Palouse
country for the release of Brown and
it was to have been presented to the
board of pardons at their next regular
meeting. Friends of Turnbow got wind
of the petition and it is said are cir
culating a remonstrance to Brown be-
ing released from the penitentiary.
The shooting of Turnbow created a
sensation in the PalOuse country where
both men were we'll known. Turn
bow lived a year after being shot but
was helpless. the bullet from Browns
gun striking the spinal cord, paralyz-
ing the lower part of his body.

hebraSkan Not Father Of "
Trust Legislation
SO SAYS MICHIGAN MAN
DECLARES DEMOCRATS ARE
CLAIMING CREDIT FOR RAIL.
ROAD RATE LAWS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-Heading off
the possible larceny of campaign mate
rial Representative Townsend of Mich
igan, spokesman in the house on rail
road rate matters, today startled the
democratic, and pleased the republi-
can brethren by quoting from facts
of history that Bryan is not the father
of antitrust legislation and railroad
regulation, and that therefore. Roose-
welt Hasn't purloined the Nebraskan's
policies.
Every little while | hear some dem
ocrats say the rate bill, antitrust la W
and the enforcement of them are of
democratic origin and that the repub-
licans have stolen democratic thunder.
Townsend then went over the legisla-
tive history of the. nation to show that
such republicans as Sumner, Garfield,
Grant and Sherman We're the real pio-
neers of railroad-rate regulations.
