Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 6.-Of more than
usual significance was the visit to
Fairview Of Frank B. Lynch, of st.
Paul, Democratic national committee
man from Minnesota and manager of
Governor Johnson's campaign for the
presidential nomination at the Denver
convention. Mr.. Lynch arrived in COM
pany with B. F. Nelson of Minneapolis,
president of the State Fair Associa-
ton.
Mr.. Lynch's presence at Fairview
was at the special request of Mr.. Bry-
an. He lost no time in conveying to
the Democratic nominee Governor
JohnsoI's assurance of loyal support
of the Democratic ticket and intention
to take the stump in Mr.. Bryan's be-
halt
There is no animosity toward Bry
an in Minnesota said Mr.. Lynch.
while do not promise that the Dem
ocrats will carry Minnesota this year,
think they have very good chance"
Mr. Lynch declared nothing ranked
in Governor Johnsons heart because
he was defeated for the nomination.
He feels all right about it, said
he, land all Minnesota Democrats are
for Bryan"
The business which brought DR.. Mel
son to Fairview was to invite Mr..
Bryan to attend the State Fair in ST.
Paul and deliver an address. The in
vitation was accepted, the date being
fixed at Aug. 81, but with the under
standing that there should be no
charge for admission to the grounds
on that day. 1t was announced the
st. Paul speech would be the only one
Mr.. Bryan will make in Minnesota dur
ing the campaign. The subject to be
discussed probably will be the tariff.

Mr.. TAFT AS A NEWSPAPER MAN

When he left Yale there were still
steps to be taken TO complete the
mental equipment of Mr.. Taft with
that education which, as he has said
of a student, should be las thorough
and as useful as he himself wishes to
make it," Judge Taft, his father,
Notwithstanding his commanding So
cial and professional position, was
not a man of large means. William
had to go to work 1t was rather
necessary that he should in order to
foot the cost of his legal training,
which he began Immediately in the
Cincinnati Law School To quote
him again there was that spur OF
necessity to enter upon life OF work
without the temptation to lack of ef-
fort and idleness which a competency
always creates"
With his disposition there was no
risk that however amply endowed
with wealth Mr.. Taft would ever have
been a dawdler, n waster of time and
opportunity. But he had to go to
work, he needed the money. So he
got a Job as reporter on the Times
Star, of Cincinnati The courts
was his assignment. He went the
rounds for the Times-Star for nearly
a year. He was a good reporter, too;
so good, in fact. that his work at
tracted the attention of Murat Hal
stead, then editor of the Commercial
Gazette, who dangled lure before
his eyes in the shape OF an offer of
$25 a week. William took II.
The chance this experience gave
him to study and understand the
psychology of a newspaper mans
mind and the fundamentals of the
profession of collecting. writing and
printing news accounts in good part
for the excellent terms upon which
Mr.. Taft. the public officer, and news
pepper men always have stood. He
understands them. He tells them no
lies, deals out no evasions. He trusts
them and they know they can trust
him implicitly.

Mr.. BRYAES UNUSED PEN.

Addressing a political meeting In
st. Paul October 10, 1896, William
Jennings Bryan said:
81 desire to express TO the organ.
ized labor of this city my grateful APP
probation of the gift which they have
presented. IL is gold pen with a
silver holder, and If / shall be elected
to he Chief Executive Of this Nation
that pen and holder shall be used to
sign free coinage bill at the earliest
possible moment"
When Mr.. Bryan made that remark
whether 1t was a promise or a
threat does not matter--the country
was suffering from the greatest in
dustrial depression 1t has ever known.
Hundreds of mills and factories were
idle, a still larger number were run
ming on half or quarter time, hum
dreds of thousands of employees were
idle, and those still employed were
working for starvation wages.
The picture is not overdrawn. Mr..
Bryan himself will admit its general
accuracy, and his friend. Mr. Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, stated at the
time that there were then more than
100000 idle workmen in the Uni
ted States.
To these suffering toilers and their
less unfortunate brethren still en-
ployed. but at niggardly wages, Mr..

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Colonel Henry Wattersons speech
In Louisville on the night of October
8, which he announces will be his
only public utterance during the cam
paign, is interesting for two particu-
lar reasons. The first Is its scant ref
erence to William Jennings Bryan.
and the second its abundant assur-
ance that Colonel Watterson's heart
still beats warmly for his native land.
Try a sample of his rhetoric:
"My faith is yet strong in the free
born spirit of American manhood.
believe that the American voters will
rise in defense of American principles
and precedents, that they will admin
lister overwhelming rebuke to these
perversions of their institutional sys-
tenn"
After that inspiring utterance there
can be no doubt as to where the griz-
Zled Demosthenes of the Blue Grass
stands. He is solid for the old flag
and an appropriation, if needed.
Moreover, in spite of his omission
of any extensive mention of William
Jennings Bryan, his estimate of that
gentleman is known of all men and
is on record in plain black and white.
The general character of Colonel Wat
terson's estimate of the Nebraska
politician may be sufficiently indi-
Gated by few selected phrases:
Bryan Is boy orator. He is n dis

tInguished dodger. He is daring
advcnturer. He is political falir.
Bryan is only Tillman in better
English. He is nothing but Popu-
list i'm doctrine and practice.
1t is Bryan and POpulism, Bryan
and Reputation, Bryan and Riot,
Bryan and Ruin. The three RS OF
Bryan's campaign seem to be Rcpu-
diatiOn, Riot and Ruin.
The flag that floats over the name
of Bryan is the flag of pirates. Ii is
The flag of Socialists and Anarchists
rather than the flag of Democrats.
There is nothing equivocal about
that testimony. 1t is as plain as a
pink wart on a pale face. There is
more of 1t, lots more. in the editorial
columns of Colonel Watterson's great
newspaper, but this is one of those
cases in which quite enough is en-
tirely sufficient.
Colonel Watterson is supporting
Mr. Bryan this year more or less fer
wildly. But in a spirit of selfshness
most unusual with him he refuses to
explain whether he is doing so be-
cause of his estimate of Mr.. Bryan or
in spite of II.

Bryan appeared with what he de-
scribed as a sure cure for their dis
tress. But he made an entirely erro-
neous diagnosis OF the case. He
asked the people to believe that their
hardships were all due to our none
tary system, and that il they would
allow him to tinker IL after his own
notions the mills would resume, there
would be plenty of work and high
pay and the country would fairly
wallow in prosperity. Some of the
people-bUt fortunately only few,
comparatively speaking - believed
him, and it was that belief which
prompted the presentation to him of
the bimetallic pen in 81. Paul. Thanks
to the saving common sense of the
people, that pen remains unusued TO
this day.
Had Mr.. Bryan been entirely frank
in 1896 he would have explained to
the workingmen that the grinding
hardship which then beset them was
due, not to anything whatever in our
monetary system, but entirely and
directly to the iniquitous Wilson
German tariff act which he himself
had helped TO place on the statute
books two years before. His pre-
tense LNdl lue lQuuSlTlal distress
which overspread the country at that
time was due to the gold standard
was the shifty attempt of a political
trickster to dodge the responsibility
for the effects of a law which he
helped to enact. The people saw
through it, and the trickster was in
gloriously defeated.
The principle of free trade which
Mr.. Bryan was instrumental in plac-
ing in operation by means of the
Wilson-Gorman act of 1894 is one of
the bases of the Bryan campaign of
1908. He misrepresents conditions
and their causes now just as he did
twelve years ago, and braZenly pro-
poses as a cure for existing ills the
very nostrum which produced them
in aggravated form when his party
was last in power. That HE campaign
of false pretense should succeed is
possible only on the insolent assump-
tion that public intelligence has
moved backward, not forward, since
his last attempt to fool the people.

they thought it should be. either by

Taft's right fist was abruptly removed
from where it was hanging by his
side to a point directly under the
blacksmith's left ear. The black
smith Immediately sought a reclin-
ing posture on the ground, and as his
friends dragged him away. Mr.. Taft
busted off his hands and remarked:
Nov, let's see what the trouble is
here!" Two or three little instances
of this sort of militant good citizen
ship brought a measure of prestige
to him and aided in inculcating the
lesson in good government which the
young law student was zealousiy try
ing to teach.

BRYAN WAS TOO MODEST.

In the course of his address before
the Lakes-to-Gulf Waterway Associa-
tion in Chicago, October s, Mr..
Bryan, while heartily approving the
project under consideration, stated
that he had no plan to offer by which
to raise the money required for the
construction of the proposed canal.
On this occasion as on so many 9TH
ers Mr.. Bryan again displayed the
extreme modesty and lack or SELF
confidence which have characterized
his public utterances.
1t would be a ridiculous and mex
cusable blunder to assume that, be-
cause he offered no plan for financing
the canal project, therefore Mr.
Bryan had no plan or that he could
devise none AS a matter OF fact
plans are Mr.. Bryan's speciality. He
can supply them in bulk on an hours
notice, and if there is anything, from
exterminating potato bugs to amend
ing the Federal Constitution, for
which he hasn't a neat handmade
plan ready in stock, 1t is simply be-
cause the matter has never been
brought to his attention.
Mr.. Bryan proposed no canal plan
solely for the reason that he was not
asked to do so. IL he had been he
could have pulled a plan out of his
coattail pocket in full view of che au-
dience and without the aid of con-
federate.
Mr.. Bryan holds that money is
created by law Therefore, accord
ing to his philosophy. If $500. O.OOO.-
600 is needed TO construct canal
between the great lakes and the
Gulf all that Is required is merely an
act of Congress creating that amount
of additional money and turning II
over to the canal builders. The
thing Is as easy as rolling on log.
Mr.. Bryan in 1896 wanted the
Government to go into the business
of creating money by fiat He ear
nestly assured the people that Con-
gress, by a single brief enactment,
could make silver bullion worth
$1.29 an ounce everywhere in the
world and maintain the price at that
level forever. lie has never quite
understood why the people rejected
his plan to make them and the Gov
ernment rich merely by an exercise
of legislative authority.
If Mr.. Bryan were President and
the canal builders needed money he
could show them how to get 1t. lie
might, however. lake short cut and
propose to build the canal itself by
fiat instead of building 1t with fat-
made money. Mr.. Bryan's plans are
marvelously flexible. and he controls
more than fifty per cent. OF the entire
output.

Mr.. TAFTs ENTRY INTO POLITICS

It inhered in Mr.. Taft that he
should not shrink even the less at
tractive, to him, duties of citizenship.
He was in politics in Cincinnati be-
fore he had finished his law course.
The Mount Auburn districts were the
lists in which he first broke a lance
for clean politics and good govern
ment, for the preservation of the in
tegrity of the ballot and for the en-
forcement of the election laws. He
went into It heart and soul, and he
bruised knuckles and lost his temper

in becoming acquainted with the pre-
cinct and ward leaders, in consulting
them as far as he can, in making him
self acquainted, not only with the
well to do and well educated persons
in his precinct and ward, but also
with the laborers, the artisans, the
storekeepers. the saloonkeepers, in
order that he may understand the
controlling influences in the primaries
and elections of that precinct and
ward"
Mr.. Taft's bulk and strength made
him an impressive and useful figure
as a watcher at the polling places
overseen by certain gentlemen who

WOMEN VOTERS FOR TAFT.

The women in the States where
women vote do not have a party of
their own, with a Joseph's coat plat
form of everything all the nice wom-
en- think ought to go in it-not at
all. They line up on the Republican
and the Democratic sides and fight
fair in the regular way. The third

WHY Mr.. TAFT FoUGHT.

Old-time friends of Mr.. Taft say
that as a boy he was a boy all over.
Zestful for play, he was no less faith

He worked hard and played hard.

to books with the same quality of en-

ployed his forces in a stone or apple

Mount Auburn in Cincinnati - ot
bent his footsteps toward the swim
ming hole when school was out and
tasks were done.
Those fights with the Taylortown
gang were pretty strenuous for anna
teur affairs, too. They were a legiti-
mate heritage handed down TO WIN

who had preceded them. Judge Taft

why the Mount Auburn boys and the
Taylortown gang periodically

he asked.
"Oh," replied VIII. II don't know
exactly, only we've always fought
those fellows"
but why?" persisted the Judge.
What reason have you for fighting
them?"
"I don't know" was the response,
"only we've got to, that's all. Char
