One and Democrats Should Rally to
Support Of Roosevelt Republicans
In Congress to Force Reforms.

~ WV ANLN0TWlo.
Wilmington, Del. Feb. /. - In a
speech before an immense audience in

Bryan took occasion TO pay a tribute
70 President Roosevelt for the work
he is doing and called upon Demo
Gratis 70 be loyal TO Roosevelt In ais
efforts to bring about reform. Bryan
declared the policies the president ad-
Vocates were advocated by Democrats
Tor years. Bryan dwclt on the presi.
dents message and said he recognized
the moral courage OF Roosevelt in
lighting against the opposition he has
TO contend with. Referring 70 the Wall
street methods, the speaker said II
would be d safe bet that after the
presidents message the hnanciers
would see that they could place no
dependence on Roosevelt as a friend
OF the system. His statement on the
presidents message is as follows:
1T is brave message and needed
at this time. All friends Of reform
have reasons TO rejoice that the presi.
dent has used his high. position to call
attention to the wrongs that need 70
be remedsed. He has discovered the
running sore in our national life. He
has pointed out the correcting influ.
ences that flow from predatory wealth
and from the monopollstic enterprises
which have given unearned riches &c
the few who. by controlling great in.
dustries OF the nation have levied
sribute upon the whole country.
Its warnings are entirely in har.
mony with the warnings which Demo
Gratis have been uttering for more
than e decade. and hope that the
Democrats In the senate and the house
viii promptly challenge the Republi
cans 20 meet the Issues presented by
the president. ~-
There ought 70 be enough Reese
welt Republicans in the two houses to
Join with the Democrats and insure
some remedial legislation at this ses-
sion. II there be none the public ought
TO know II, so that when the next Re
publican national convention endorses
the present administration the hypoc-
risy OF the endorsement will be under
stood
ne president mas discussed the
relative spheres OF the state and Of the
nation. I hope that in the measure
which may be introduced In response to
this appeal there viii be no attempt to
take from the states any power that
they now have.
'The Democrats are IN faver OF the
fullest employment OF the power vested
In congress. but they want national
remedy added to the state remedies and
not substituted for them. n the presi-
dents Republican friends will join with
the Democrats in devising legislation
which Will be effective and yet within
the recognized constitutional power OF
congress, great good may be accom-
plished before congress adjourrs.
"The president has issued a call 20
arms. Now let the battle begin and
we shall soon be able TO pick out the
purchased newspapers and the pur-
chased legislators described by the
president but not specifically named"
Mr.. Bryan declared that the Repub-
lican administration was only vindi-
cation Of the Democratic ideas.

showing the operations of Engineer
Frank Mexican in that territory,
where it is alleged failure crowned
every effort. The following is the
Spokane story:
Frank Mexican, who is now en-
gagged in the promotion of an cleo
trio line at Lewiston, is we'll known
II Spokane. He was formerly iden-
titled with the Spokane Catsup and
Relish company, of which N. L.
Harvey was the promoter. Harvey
ran away, leaving the company bad
II involved and has never been
heard from. Mexican was a trustee
and officer in this company, but he
said after the departure of Harvey
that he had no power and owned few
shares.
Mexican first appeared in Spo-
kane in connection with the Spo-
kane Valley Railway and Power
company, of which F. o. Adams is
promoter. This company owns the
old smelter line down the river and
| the old smelter property, and has
scheme to develop electric power
near the smelter site. Mexican was
ousted from the management of this
company by Adams, who is still in
control. This is the property which
/ is security for the $4,000 mort
gage given by D. P Jenkins to the
Y. NJ G. A.
AFTER losing out in the Spokane
Valley Railway and Power COM
pany, Mexican, together with H.
Ward Wright and others, among
them Mrs. J. A. Narup, organized
the Trent Power and Irrigation COM
pany, which had plans to develop
power near Trent and water several
hundred acres of land The plan
was not a success, and the land re-
yerted to Mrs. Narup, to whom ii
! first belonged 1t was while pro-
noting this scheme that Mexican at
lied himself with Harvey of the
Relish company, and they took an
option on Mrs. Narup's land and
tried to auction off enough of it ia
pay for it and sell the rest at their
leisure. The auction was a failure
only five acres being sold, after sew
eral hundred dollars had been spent
in advertising.
Mexican worked with the stock
holders of the Relish company to re-
organize it after Harvey hal de-
csmped, but no effective organiza.
