BRYAN AND KERN.

William j. Bryan is the nominee of
the democratic party for the
presidency, standing on a progressive
platform, and backed by party more
united than it has been for MANY
years.
The triumph of the Nebraskan is a
victory of the masses of democracy.
Without federal patronage, without
campaign funds, without aid from
monopolies without the sanction of
the predatory interests. William J.
Bryan, Notwithstanding two defeats,
and despite calumny and detraction
unparalleled, is the standard bearer Of
the democracy. What is the explana-
ton? Arguments founded on malice
or ill will explain nothing. BRYAN
is the nominee for president because #
is the belief of the vast majority of
the democratic party that he above all
government. That is the basis, and
then his ACKNOWLEDGED integrity, his
superb oratory, making him probably
the greatest popular orator since
O'Connell; his magnificent manhood
and stainless life, all these made him
the pillar. Of democratic hope. It is
folly to sheer at or attempt to belittle
! man who has succeeded, like Bryan
in making his name the synonym for a
code of political doctrines, whose
! ideas have formed the basis for much
Of the legislation enacted or promised
by the opposition. After twelve. years
he is stronger in the affections of his
>! party than ever, and admired by all
the American people. His position
now is vastly stronger than ever, he is
not now the hobgoblin of 1896, but
rather one of Americas greatest
! statesmen, known the wide world over
as foremost champion of true
civilization and liberty. He is a far
different figure now than in 1896.
Take as one instance the tour around
the world. It is the testimony that
he made an undying impression every
where. One missionary wrote from
Japan that Bryan s sincere defense of
the Christian faith had done more for
Christianity in that country than the
work of all the missionaries combined
in many years. The democracy has a
i, leader to be proud of. He Is no
ones man Friday. He will be
president in fact as well as in name,
and when President Bryan takes the
chair honored by Washington and
jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln, it will
be the dawning of most glorious era
for this nation.
The more John Worth Kern s history
is known, the more pleased will
democrats be with his selection for
vice-presidnt. He is stainless
citizen Of great ability, known and
beloved in his home state AND the
opposition press there speak very
highly of him. He would make q
good president, which show that his
choice for the second Office is wise
Hurrah for Bryan and Kern.

ADAMS IS FREED BY COURT
ORDER.

Grand Junction, COL, July 15.-
Steve Adams, of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, was acquitted of the
murder Of Arthur Collins this after
noon.
After the clerk Of the court read the
verdict, Adams was ordered dis
charged by Judge shackleford.
Adams Immediately stepped to the
jury box and shook hands with each
one of the, Jurors and thanked them
for finding him not guilty. He also
thanked the members of the Western
Federation OF Miners who are here,
for their support and encouragement
during his long imprisonment and
trial.
Adams left the court room with
William Easterly, another prominent
federatlonist, and joined Mrs. Adams
at the hotel, where she had been stay
ing during the trial.
No move was made to re arrest
Adams on any of the other murder
charges growing out of the Colorado
labor troubles and it is said he will be
permitted to go free as the authorities
are convinced Of the impossibility Of
securing a conviction in any of these
cases.

crime, was excluded as evidence by
Judge Shackleford. Eight witnesses
testified to an alibi for the accused
man.
Collins, who was manager of the
Smugler Union mine at Telluride,
was shot on Nov. 10, 1902, while
playing cards in his Office.
F.; Adams spent but short time in
; the hotel and then disappeared. Tt is
reported that he was taken by friends
to the railroad yards, where he
boarded a :westbound Rio Grande
passenger train for the home of his
uncle in Oregon.

THE PLATFORM.

I
declaration by the national conven-
ton of the principles which will
guide it's action in case of success. is
a magnificent production. It is not
extreme, but exhibits a progressive
political liberalism. On the question
where it was expected the platform
would be especially strong, there IS md
disappointment.
towering issue is Shall the people
ruler, and this runs through the
whole fabric. With all respect to the
courts, it is still insisted that the
processes of the court shall not be
abused. Compared with Roosevelt 8
denunciation of Judge Humphreys the
language Is exceedingly mild, though
positive 1T Is declared that labor or
CARNATIONS and their members should
nrt be regarded as illegal combina-
tions in restraint of trade The
splendid plank says that there
should be no Infringement of the right
of wage earners and producers to
organize for the protection of wages
and improvement of labor condi-
t1ons", that 1njunctions should not
issue In cases where they would not
issue if no industrial dispute were
involved, that the judiciary shall not
evoke extraordinary penalties and
processes simply for a dispute over
wages or hours of labor when they
would not do so in other cases. John
Mitchell, whom Roosevelt calls one of
the ablest men in the nation, and
Samuel Gompers, head of the
American Federation of Labor, ap-
prove the injunction and labor plank,
and will support Bryan and Kern
They have hitherto supported Roose-
welt
The Immediate revision of the tariff
is favored, and the statement made,
whose truth must be conceded, that
the highly protected interests are too
influential in the republican party to
allow it to correct tariff evils.
It is demanded that pulp, print
paper, lumber, timber and logs be
placed OH the free list.
The arbitrary power of the speaker
of the lower house Of congress. lately
condemned in strong terms by Con-
gresham Lindbergh, is denounced.
The publicity Of campaign con-
tributions is demanded and attention
called to the fact that the Chicago
convention refused to enact such a
plank.
Railroad rate regulation is endorsed
and demand is made for more power
for the interstate commerce COM
nilsson.
The panic OF 1907 is charged to the
methods of the dominant party, In
control for over 10, years, and the
Vreeland bill is denounced The
insurance of banks is commended, or
a system of savings banks which will
leave money in the community where
it is deposited
The income tax, popular election OF
U. s. senators and physical valuation
of railroads, all demanded by
enlightened public sentiment, are
conspicuous in the platform.
The plank opposing Asiatlc i'm
migration, and the stringent anti
monopoly plank, are worthy.
The platform is the best ever
adopted by the party. It should
appeal to every thinking and patriotic
American. ..#
