Bryan cannot Dodge.
And right here is where Mr.. Bryan will
have to show his hand or duck clear out
Of the state. Each side will insist that he
tell which kind of caucus he Is for. He
must say. or will be asked to say, whether
he is in favor e the democrats following
out the policy of the republican party and
transacting the business of its organization
before the eyes of the public or whether
the speaker and his associate officers will
be selected behind closed doors out of sight
of the taxpayers of the state.
The question promises to be as en-
barrassing to Mr.. Bryan as II does to those
members who are prom sed to two or three
different candidates.
The speakership fight is going to be a
hot one. and 1t is going to leave a bad
taste in the mouths OF several. Because
of the Information some OF the leaders
nave regarding double p~ledglng, they are
at a loss TO know just how to count noses
and they are absolutely sure of nothing.
1t is beginning to look as though some
one had done some really clever work In
keeping Mr.. Bryan from showing his hand
TO the temperance people of the state. Mr..
Bryan is talking platform pledges and that
is all, with particular emphasis upon the
guaranty of bank deposits. Apparently,
while the advocates of county option are
trying to prevent their opponents from
getting a foothold in the organization, Mr..
Bryan Is telling his friends payment OF
losses to depositors must be Immediate 81
This keeps him too busy to help with the
candidacy of any one who favors county
option. There is little doubt that a word
from Mr.. Bryan would settle the matter OF
equity option insofar as the organization
Of the legislature is concerned. He had not
spoken 1t at last accounts.
Henry Richmond saw MIR. Bryan yes.
terday and had a conference over his case
and Trenmore Cone got his ear this morn.
ing. Both came away smiling and salts
fled. yet each is a candidate for CHIEF
clerk of the house.
1t is the talk around the hotel Hobbies
that Mr.. Bryan intends to do some lobby
ing among the members of the legislature
this winter, and he has given out the I'm
preston that unless the bill which will
provide for the guaranty of bank deposits
specifics that in case OF failure the de.
~posltors must be paid Immediately he
will go before the lawmaking body and
fight 1t. He will insist and demand ano
force the immediate payment clause.
And right there is where DR.. p. L. Hal
and Mr.. Bryan will mix, which will also
be interesting.

OF all his writings, mat address is the best

it will bear several readings, and be valued

If there is any profits from the sale of the
booklets, that goes into the NJ. A. treasury.
If fifty members or friends each send $1.0O
for 100 copies to Otto Wettstein, La

valuable addition to our literature in our

John Il. Charlesworth says THE article
will read well in pamphlet form; the argu-
ment is strong, it is a brilliant array of
facts and authorities against the God idea"
Otto Wettstein himself says: in addi-

THOUGHTS.

The thought lives ON forever more,
On selfs dependent shore,
Omniscient holds within its hand
The seething mass of earth and sand
The liquid lavas sweep
Upward from the deep,
The coral reefs in heap,
Where waters roll and leap.
Oh thought! Oh God! | cannot grasp,
Nor hold within my clasp
The ocean deep, the ocean wave,
Nor stay its hem and lave.
But thoughts invisible, unseen,
Forever stand between,
To save immortal from the grave,
The thought, its soul, body gave.

APPEAL TO
Colonel Stewart Viii Ask Restoration
to His Position In Army

Washington. Oct. 21.-Restoration to
the army may be sought of congress
by Co,onel Williap F. Stewart. who
was forced to the retired list by the
president on the ostensible ground OF
heart trouble. Senator Rayner will
probably be asked again to champion
the American Dreyfus."
If the matter gets before congress
Colonel Stewart viii ask restoration on
the ground that his trial was not fair
and impartial. He will point out his
willingness, not only to take the ninc-
ty-mile horseback ride, but also the
alternative test Of physical capacity.

proposal was declined by the retiring
board
Colonel Stewart is still amenable to
the army regulations, and therefore
canno discuss the boards action for
