SEVEN GOOD REASONS.
A Partial List of the Items Com.
posing Logical Opposition tc
Bryan.


(From the Omaha Beef
Mr.. Bryan's Commoner has boiled
down into nine paragraphs the reasons
why the Democratic candidate should
be preferred by the voters. Here are
seven paragraphs showing why each OF
Mr.. Bryan's reasons are invalid:
First. Mr.. Bryan is estopped from
accusing the Republican party of fall
ing to provide for elacting United
States Senators by popular vote. Ne
braska has a provision for securing
from the people an expression of choice
on United States Senator, but when
Mr. Bryan was candidate for Senator
in 1904 he refused to submit his candi-
dacy % r~-,:.-..ar vote.
Second. Mr.. Bryan is estopped from
accusing the Republican Congress Of
failing to pass law for campaign pub
licity. Every Democratic member of
the House voted against the publicity
law that was passed by Republicans
simply because 1t included provision
for an inquiry into Democratic disfran-
chisement of the negro In the South.
Third. Mr.. Bryan is estopped from
accusing the Republican Congress for
failing to pass postal savings bank
bill. He has professed to favor postal
savings banks for years, but now says
he win favor 1t only In case his guar
anty deposit scheme proves failure.
Fourth. Mr.. Bryan is estopped
from charging the Republican Congress
with passing currency bill "encour-
aging speculative banking" when his
own deposit guaranty scheme would
throw the door wide open to wildcat
banking.
Fifth. Mr.. Bryan's charge OF des-
potic rule by the Speaker of the House
of Representatives is best answered by
the unprecedented record OF reform
legislation enacted during the Roosev Ell
administration.
Sixth. Mr.. Bryan should be es.
topped talking about the cost of living
Increasing faster than wages because
under the last Democratic administers
ton the trouble was 20 get any wages
at all. Incidentally the truth OF the
Bryan assertion may be challenged.
Seventh. Mr.. Bryan's reference &c
the Republican position On the tarir is
pure buncombe. The Republicans favor
revision whenever changed condition;
require, while Mr.. Bryan wants to &c
through a continuous performance Of
piece-meal reduction that would para
| lyze all our Industries.

Action of Democrats.

The West Virginia Democrats have
declared in State convention that "the
Democratic party Is IN favor of so
amending Che constitution as to pre-
serve the ballot and the electorate of
the State from the evils resulting from
comforting such power and privilege"
upon negroes Mr.. Bryan has nothing
to say about that
A few misguided negro leaders over
the country have led Mr.. Bryan to be-
lieve that large number Of their race
win vote for him this time and on that
account he is lodging the discussion of
the race question.
II Is unfortunate for the negroes Of
the country that Mr.. Bryan cannot dis
cuss the plans Of the West Virginia
Democrats In this campaign. He has
declared that he cannot discuss the ne
gro question, because il was not men,
toned Il. the Democratic platform.
Tint, Of course. will prevent him from
enlighteniug the negro voters OF the
country as to whether he has changed
his views toward them since last April.

CROWN PRINCESS.

BERLIN. April 30.--'rhe young Duke
Heinrich of Mecklenburg-Schwe a
cousin OF the Crown Princess, has just
been dismissed from his regiment be-
cause of the hopeless state OF his
debts. He became the victim OF money
lenders, and to save an open scandal
he has been Obliged TO abandon his
military career and go into exile.
The duke, who is only 20, foolishly
tried to get rid OF his debts by com.
plicated dealings with moneylenders
who naturally fastened upon him like
vultures. They got him to put his
name TO numerous documents, which
only made his case more desperate,
Even then he did not get 1.-THE of
the money he negotiated for, the FIN
anciers" handing him various lots OF
useless goods In lieu of cash. In one
instance Ii was stock OF children's
coffins. and in another a string OF an
Client and worthless horses, upon which
he had TO realize on the best terms he
could.
Incompetence In financial matters,
seems to be hereditary in the young
mans family, for his father, Duke
Paul Friedrich, was two years ago
placed under guardianship by order
Of the head OF the house. the Grand
Duke Friedrich Franz w, because of
his enormous debts.
