chopper against her will, as she al
leges, and being under age at the

superior court TO annul her marriage.
In a complaint filed yesterday in SUI
perior court by Davis & Davis she
gives Daniel Storms as the name of
the man from whom she would be
freed.
The complaint of the child-wife
contains a story fit for the most lurid
imagination of the melodramatist
Prior to December I. 1907. accord
ing to the complaint, Storms had
worked for a period of two months
at the Hofert homestead chopping
wood He had paid ardent court to
the farmers daughter. but he met
with no encouragement, his every
advance being scorned.
On the day in question, however,
when the parents of Miss Hofert,
who gives her age as II, were absent,
Storms Is alleged to have forced her
to dress herself up a bit and go with
him to the home of Albert Linn. his
nephew. at Marshall. Being alone

Leaders Policies

cheers, then instantly turned into
wild yells, greeted him when he ap-
peared to begin the speech which
wound up the day. During his re-
marks this demonstration was re-
newed frequently and at the end was
repeated with renewed vigor.
Replies to Taft's Criticisms.
Two points were noticed in Bryan s
speech. In one he acknowledged his
debt to the populist party and in the
other he replied to criticisms of his
policies which Secretary Taft is re-
ported to have uttered in a recent
speech in Oklahoma.
ExteIminate Monopoly.
My creed is 'Exterminate the
privileged monopoly. A legitimate
corporation can be regulated, but a
criminal corporation is beyond the
reach of regulation, said Mr.. Bry-
an. Mr.. Taft said that | wished to
annihilate business combinations,
while he declared himself willing to
regulate the great corporations. |
accept this issue. And in reply |
will call attention to the fact that
the trusts have regulated the republi-
cans, not the republicans the trusts. "
Concerning the populists he said
IF any democrat has a prejudice
against populists | would admonish
him that populist who crosses the
road to vote for a democrat is not to
be dispised by a democrat who has
merely to vote the ticket of his own
party
Drove Arguments Home.
Mr.. Bryan was in splendid voice.
AS he warmed to his subject he en-
phasized his points with clenched
fists and stamping foot and drove his
arguments home with a vocal yigor
that carried his tones to the farthest
corners of the big auditorium.
He began his address at 9:30
O'Clock and for nearly two hours
preached democratic doctrines to a
willing congregation. After a review
of his early political struggles in Ne
braska he thanked the delegates for
their action in indorsing him for the
presidency. Then came his reference
to the populists and thanks for the
Endorsement by their state conven-
ton here today.

Successful Meeting at Union
School House.
To the Editor of The Robesonian.

We have had a series of meet
ings at this place. The meeting
was conducted by that scholarly
and most logical preacher, Rev.
Mr.. Jackson. The meeting be-
gun on the 3rd Sunday, Brother
S. L. Purvis preaching the open
ing sermon. He was to assist in
this blessed meeting, but that
most dreaded desease, fever laid
it's clutches upon him and led
him to his bed, there to languish
awhile. But we hope he will re-
cover and be able to resume his
work for the upbuilding of the
Masters Kingdom.
Brother Jackson carried on the
meeting. He had a packed house
at each service and many souls
were made to manifest faith
in a risen Savior. The good
people in this vicinity have
awakened to help push the work
for Chist and His kingdom. The
good preacher and members
say they are going to push the
battle to the gates till sin and
folly will melt away in this par
of the county.

Developments in the national
campaign during the past week
have no doubt in literal fact con-
tributed to the gaiety of nations,
and in their appeal for appropri-
ate description have been a re-
minder of the language used by
Methodist preachers in this State
in describing a particular on
slaught against Morally Stunted
as "a bomb thrown into the ante
chambers Of hell, to the stirring
up of the rattlesnakes." That
expression doesn't fit, but to
some extent it satisfies. The
President of the United States
has assumed the roll of active
campaign manager for his can
didate Taft and given his en- =
dorsement to the unsupported
Hearst charges against c. N.
Haskell, Governor of Oklahoma
and treasurer of fthenationalDem-
ocratic committee. Henotonlytried
to crush this Governor of a great
State without a hearing, but used
the charges against this one
man as a basis of attack against
the integrity of Mr.. Bryan and
his party, charging, that "the
opposition to Mr.. Taft" was be.
ing dominated by the Standard
Oil Co. This charge brought
back from Mr.. Bryan, with the
speed of electricity, the direc1
challenge to Mr.. Roosevelt tc
furnish the proof of his charge,
which the President surely
should not have made withou
having some proof, and als(
serving notice on him that th'
Democrats proposed to have ;
square deal, whether the cam
paign be run by the President O
by a private citizen. This, a
, least, was a small sized bomb
