Deplores Spying on Colleague.
Referring to the manner in which
Senator Allison's physical condition
had been made a matter of much COM
ment in the state, he said:
IT confess that my pride in Iowa
has been hurt by seeing the footsteps
of Senator Allison logged all win
ter by political spies, making bulletins
of his attendance upon the senate for
the use of such papers as would re-
ceive them. Again and again l have
seen the shadow pass over his face
as his eye caught some thoughtless
paragraph which told him that out in
Iowa, among the people whose inter-
ests he had made his own for so many
years, there were men deliberately
measuring the remnant of his span
of life and coolly counting up the
chances of his recovery"
l.
failed in his devotion to the people
our present duty might not be so
plain. The question is not what we are
going to do for Senator Allison but
what are we going to do for ourselves,
for the prestige of the state, for the
guidance and inspiration of our chill
dren when we have passed from these
scenes. He said the good name Of
Iowa was involved in the contest.
In closing Senator Dolliver appeal
ed to the people to permit those who
love and honor Senator Allison when
the end comes to repeat Theodore
Parkers words at the grave of John
Quincy Adams:
HE died with his harness on; died
like senator in the capital Of the
nation; died like an American in the
service of his country; died like a
Christian full of Immortality"

The Denver News recently contained
an article headed, Republicans give
Bryan 2O7." The writer, under head
of special wire, claims that according
to the private campaign books Of re
publicaan leaders the election in certain
states are admitted to be doubtful. The
electoral vote of these states is 81
which added to the III of the sohd
south makes POI. But one trouble with
the correctness of Mr.. Patterson's con
clusion as stated in his headline, is tina
even il it be conceded that his spccal
telegram rightly reports the 'cOnlidcn-
tial books OF republican campaign man
ayers" still the contents OF his tclc
gram does not justify the conclusion OF
Mr.. Patterson that the republican lead.

it in the Bryan column.

Both matters will be put through
without delay and work on the cenl
trail grammar school and an eight
room building at Kennedale park
will be started this summer, so that
the latter can be used next fall, If
possible.
Edward Koyen, John Rymsha and
Martin Momberg did the speaking
for the Kennedale delegation, which
was not very large, and said that p
school should be built on the site at
Fairview Park before any other
school was built The three citizens
said they did not want to criticize
the actions Of any city body, but SIM
ply wanted relief tom conditions
which they had endured for q num-
ber of years.
President Bradley and Wee Presi<-
dent Seamtn of the Board of Ed9ca-
tion, explained how necessary the
central grammar school on the Bar
racks property was. Both told of
the crowded conditions in all of the
schools and showed how the central
building would bring relief to the
more thickly populated part of the
city. Both commissioners said that
they realized that q school was need
ed at Kennedale, but that there was
not enough money to build both.
Mr.. Momberg suggested that the
proposed bond issue be made larger
so that two schools could be built,
Other arguments were brought up
relative to the time it would take to
erect a building.
President Bradley said that In
many of the schools next fall half
day sessions will have to be resorted
to IL rooms are not rented. The
kindergarten. he said, would have TO
vacate the room at School No. and
in the high school there would be no
room for grammar pupils.
Schools Nos. A and g." he said,
"are crowded in spite Of the two por-
table school buildings in use, and
with but three exceptions (High and
Nos. 5 and ~, the schools are crowd
ed to an extent precluding normal
progress and comfort, and have been
made to open their doors to num-
bers of pupils for which they were
not designed, thus bringing about a
