the republican party OF the democrat
IL recruits who rushed to the La Fol-

could not expect anything from their
own party in the way of progressive
railroad legislation. This informa-

now no longer a question whether
Mr.. Taft can hold these large num-
hers of democrats who find more of
the La Toilette program in the Bryan
ulatfornI than in the republican
PROMISES. These democrats could
hardly be held for any republican
candidate against Bryan except per-
baps La Toilette. They have gone

question Is whether the young repub-

by their leader for the ticket to
which he pledges his own loyal and

Anybody who tells Mr.. Taft that
Wisconsin is safely republican
state, which he can carry without
much of a fight, is no friend either
of the candidate or of the republican

BRYAN's PRAYER ATTHE COT.

During the st. Louis republican
convention, twelve years ago, before
he ever dreamed of such fame coming
to his Mans, William ]. Bryan was
housed in the Lindell hotel In room
with several cots. In the early
evening, when the lights we're turned
low, one man found his way to bed
early, and as he opened the door he
found another tired reporter over by
the winnow scarcely discernible In
the shadows of the room. He was
kneeling at his bedside, saying bis
prayers and that simple piety won
the hearts of those rough and ready
newspaper n en- who occupied the
room with him. 1t was William j.

the country with his Grown OF

ECHO OF TIE ADAMS TRIAL.
Warrant for $4,000 From Shoshone
County Shows Cost Of Trial In
Murder Case.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, March 16.-
County Treasurer c. ]. Shoemaker Is
in receipt of the warrant from Sho-
shone county covering the Adams
trial which was held at Rathdrum In
November, 1907, when Adams was
held on the charge of killing Fred
Tyler in the Marble Creek district
over two years prior. This was the
second trial of Adams, the first hav-
ing been held at Wallace several
months before.
The trial cost Shoshone county
over $4,000, which was covered by the
warrant. It Is claimed the two trials
cost the taxpayers easily $4,000.
The defense, it is said, expended far
more than this sum. Kootenai coun-
ty was directly responsible for the
expense to the witnesses and jurors.
In order to meet these the warrant
