INDIAN KILLED BY

Terribly Mangled Thursday Night on
Great Northern

Hehota, Grey Horn" an Indian of
the Fort Totten reservation met with
an accident that cost him his life last
Thursday evening while driving on the
railroad track about four miles south
of the city. After being struck by the
train the crew brought the train to a
stop and picked up the Indian who was
terribly cut and bruised, and brought
him to the city where he was taken
to the General hospital where he died
a few minutes afterwards. His right
hand was cut off above the wrist and
his right foot was also severed from
the leg and his head and face was ter

4 Campaign of Hypocrisy.

The Jefersonian is dead against Mr.. Taft
and his policies. The Republican ticket stands
for all the evils Of our present class-law sys-
tenn. Judge TAFT is the champion of those
who are for special privilege, monopoly and
plutocracy. Against them the Jeffersonlan will
wage eternal warfare.
But as to Bryan, there is not only every bad
feature presented by Taftism but there is the
added feature of colossal hypocrisy
Mr.. Bryan pretends to be good friend of
the Southern people, yet he had no regrets to
express when his convention insulted the Geor-
gia delegation, insulted the whole South, by
playing and singing, marching Through
Georgia" and by kissing and hooting the name
of General Robert E. Lee. He knows that the
negro leaders have broadcasted the whole
country with the circular letter in which they
declare that they have been in communication
with him for weeks, and that he has made them
promises which are satisfactory to them; and
yet Mr.. Bryan has put forth no condemnation
of this circular letter.
He is claiming and expecting the support of
the Prohibition Democrats of the South, vet
he is in copartnershp with the saloon people
and is doing his best to bring victory to the
whiskey interests of Indiana, Ohio and Maine.
So very strong was the combination between
|, Bryan and John Barleycorn that the dry State

The Methods of Hearst.

The TeffersOnian has more than once taken
occasion to emphasize the fact that the indie
pendence League is nothing but Hearst. When
it talks, it is the voice of Hearst; when it is
silent, it is the silence of Hearst; when 1t
meets in Convention, it is the assembling of
Hearst; when expenses are paid, it is the check
of Hearst.
How pitiful has been the position of Hlsgen
and Graves during the last two weeks Mr..
Hearst had bundle of letters which have
proven to be the best explosives Of the cam
paign. The noise was prodigious, the execution
considerable the sensation immense, and the
man who sprung it doomed largely on the no
rizon. But where were Hisgen and Graves?
Why did not Mr. Hearst divide those letters
impartially between his Presidential candi-
dates? Why did he not allow Hisgen and
Graves to spring the mine? Why did he not
let one or the other of these Presidential
candidates throw the bomb? In that event,
the independence League would have reaped
the benefit. If the sensation had been sprung
by Hisgen and Graves, those two gentlemen
would have been the cynosure of all eyes.
Instead of Hearst, they would have monopol-
lied the lime light. But on the contrary, Mr.
Hearst has acted as if he did not care to add
anything to the Importance of either Hisgen or
Graves. He was so greedy for attention and
advertisement himself that he has not allowed
Hisgen and Graves to come within the outer
circle of the radiance.
Mr. Roosevelt by an impulsive butting into
the campaign, made matters temporarily en-
barrassng to Mr. Taft and threatened to OBJ
scure that easy-going luminarv with total
eclipse; but Roosevelt, after firing off round
or two has gone back into Presidential dignity
once more, whereas Mr.. Hearst persists in oc-
cupying all the stage room of the Independence
League.
So much so indeed, that people seem to have
forgotten that he went through the form OF

can select some Southern men who are equally
courageous and resolute, and | am sure that
during the next four years the West and the
South can be SO thoroughly organized and

1t has been the dream of my life to effect
political union Of these two great agricultural
sections-the West and the South. AS no one
else will take the initiative in the matter, will
do it myself. There is no reason why the
headquarters Of the Popu1ist movement should

The headquarters should have been established

aid of those unhinching Popusts who can be
found in every Southern and Western State,
I feel it in my bones that we can do great

in the right way, to definite aim

Pot and Kettle.

% The scrap between Roosevelt and Bryan ac-
complished one good thing. 1t proved beyond
the slightest doubt that in blackness there is
not shade of difference between the Demo
cratic pot and the Republican kettle. Bryan
made it perfectly clear as against Roosevelt
that the favor-seeking corporations have
bought what they wanted from the Republican
party. With equal clearness, Mr.. Roosevelt
proved that the Democratic party is just as
ready to sell itself to favor-seeking conbina
tons of capital The man who can doubt
that the Republican campaign funds have al
ways come from those corporations that de-
sire special privilege, the benefit of monopoly,
and the of governmental power to increase
their individual fortunes, could not be con-
WINGED that the sun rises and sets The man
who can not doubt that Bryan has come to an
understanding with the Standard Oil Company,
just as Cleveland i'll 1892 came to an Under
standing with the Sugar Trust, could not be
convinced that the earth moves.
Whatever Bryan might have been in the
CO.'S there is no doubt whatever as to what he
is now. In those days Bryan was young, cap
able of enthusiasm, capable of conservation to
an ideal In those days, Brvanism may have
been patriotism it may have been passionate
desire for making the condition of the Ameri-
can people better than it was, but the Bryan
ism of today is a horse of another color. The
Organism of today is an intense personal am
btion. If he had been a martyr to principle
and devotee to ideals, he would have stood by
his principles adhered to his ideals, although
his line of conduct led him along the rocky
path and kept him in the company of the faith.
full few. The fact that he has been willing to
repudiate every distinctive principle for which
he once battled reveals him as a commonplace
opportunst who is willing to trim his sails to
every change of popular feeling and to subordi-
nate his life creed to his thirst for Office
1t is melancholy thing to see man Of Mr..
Bryans type publicly apostatize in order to

to realize that there are millions of Bryanites
who are SO wrapped up in him personally that
