CAPTAIN Powers of New Hampton
was a staunch ally of Mr.. Wright in

were both threatened with a notice
that was posted in the Milwaukee de-

as follows:

will burn it down to the ground and
give him two weeks to leave the state,
or he have to die, or drop what he has
commenced, and also Frank Wright is

Mr.. Wright kept on in his fight and
helped roll up 10000 majority for the
amendment on June 27, 1882.
When the republican party RELOCATED
prohibition in 1894, Mr.. Wright identi
fed himself with the third party pro

BIG d REUNION
A Great SUCCESS
OLD SOLDIERS AND OLD SET.
TIERS OF 4 COUNTIES AT
ELDON- PLANS FOR 1909

Eldon, Sept. 12.-(SpeciaD Friday
closed the three days reunion of the
Old Soldiers and Settlers association
of Wapello, Davis. Van Buren, and JEFF
ferson counties, held at the Big -Four
fair grounds, Eldon. The first day the
address was delivered by Ellsworth
Rominger of Bloomf3 cid, and was very
eloquent He is one of the silver
tongued orators of southern Iowa, The
camp fire at night was well attended
and the program was excellent.
On the second day owing to sickness
in the family of ]. c. Mabry of Abba,
the program was of local talent but
was entertaining and enjoyed by onei
of the largest assembly ever gathered
in the history of the association.
The third day in the morning the
business meeting OF the association
was held and the following officers
were elected unanimously:
President. w. G.. Crow
Secretary ]. E. Houghland.
Vice presidents from each county.
In the afternoon another great crowd
assembled to hear the address by Nate
Kendall Of Abba who is the republic
can candidate for congressman of the
Sixth district. IIr. Kendall has the
reputation of being the most eloquent
orator of the Southern Iowa and he
eXcelled himself anG the great crowd
cheered him. Then the hundreds of
old soldiers lined ~ and the great
crowd passed in review shaking the
hands and bidding them God blessings.
1t was one of the noted love feasts
this association has the credit of hav-
ing.
The night meeting and the closing
one was one of the most happy of the
whole series. Hon. Dan w. Hamilton,
of Sigourney. the present congressman,
delivered one of his most excellent adj
dresses for which he is noted. His
great audience greeted him with cheers
and hearty handshakes. He and Ken
dial. are self made men.
At the business meeting is was de-
cided to rebuild and refurnish the old
log cabin In pioneer style ready for
next year, when the corn pone will
hold the cake a contest which will be
without doubt in favor of the pone. 1t
is intended to have all the wild pioneer
relics on exhibition which will teach
the children what it was in the days
when their fathers and mothers raised
them to live. The Big fair grounds
being the finest place for such a gath
ering and the greatest interest main
tanned each year guarantees the
greatest gathering ever held in South
ern Iowa. There was present over 12a
old soldiers of different regiments
and hundreds of old settlers all enjoy
ing the greatest love feast they ever
attended.

Seeking the Moral Effect
The object of the meetings is more
to furnish a harmony tahleau to the
voters than for an serious confer
ence. 1t was thought that a series of
such meetings would have a fine
moral effect.
Uncle Henry Gassaway came across
the mountains from his home, fifty
miles away, for the purpose of spend.
ing the day with Mr.. Bryan, whom he
always regarded as an undesirable
candidate until now He was accom-
panied by his brother, Colonel Tom
Davis, who is worth almost as many
millions, owns nearly as many rail
roads and coal mines as the former
vice presidential candidate, and is
just rounding into 80.
These two husky West Virginians
went over to the .-cGraw homestead
to meet Mr.. Bryan Immediately after
breakfast, and Henry Gassaway re-
NAMED all day and until Mr.. Bryan
left for Baltimore last night.
Will Move on Baltimore.
He agreed to join Mr.. Bryan today
and promised to do everything in his
power to win over the rich Democrats
of Baltimore, who displayed marked
GOODNESS as to Mr.. Bryan. A special
reception is to be held in Baltimore
today to enable Mr.. Bryan to meet
those offish Democrats, and it is eX-
pected that Mr.. Davis, who is con-
nected with many financial institu-
tions there will be of much help in
bringing the hesitating ones around.
Mr. Bryan and Uncle Henry CASA
way went to the little .IethodiSt
church near McGraw's place, arm in
arm, Sunday morning, and heard the
Rev Mr.. Lee preac.. an eloquent ser
mon from the text, Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as myself
After midday timer at the Nc.
Graw home, the party started in three
! carriages for a twelve mile drive over
the mountains to Oakland and Noun
tain Lake, both summer resorts. Mr.
Bryan and Mr.. Davis sat together or
the back seat of a surrey. When they
started to get in the surrey each in
sisted that the other go first The
| S5-year-old chevalier of the West Vir
ginia mountains ended the contro
versy by saying positively:

an. This year l am following YOU"
Mr.. Bryan got in and remarked:
Il dill not want to prolong this Al
phonse and Castor uTiness too long.

Starts Fight for Prohibition Plank.
In the same year, 1879, at the Re-
publican state convention Mr. Wright,
in company with Nate Reed, editor Of
the Northwestern News at Davenport,
secured rooms at.the Aborn house and
began a systematic consultation with
every prohibitionist in the various
delegations in the interest of the
amendment. John H. Gear was can
didate for the denomination for gov
ernor He was also candidate for
United States senator and desired thai
the temperance element OF his party
should be harmonized and reconciled.
MI Wright sought an interview with
the governor and secured in him a
staunch ally for declaring in favor OF
nonpartisan vote to be taken on
the prohibitory amendment. The
eleventh plank of the platform of that
year was substantially adopted at a
caucus of the temperance forces OF
which B. F. Wright was chairman and
Nate Reed secretary.
The plan was unanimously adopted
the next day by the Republican state
conventions At the same time the
| newspapers of the state referred tc
B. f. Wright as 1.-The father of pro
hibition' in Iowa.
In the legislature which met the fol
lowing winter the amendment was
adopted and submitted to vote of the
people by 90 yeas to 10 nays in the
senate, and sc yeas to 26 nays in the
house in spite OF the desperate op
position Of the liquc. interests anC
the trembling of weakened poll

houses it was submitted to a vote o

For fifty-one years Mr.. Wright was
