BRYAN OF TODAY
IS BRYAN OF 1906
Samuel H. Spooner Attacks
FaIIacies of Nebraskan
At Cambridge City.
HE ALWAYS HAS AN IDEA.
THESE HAVE BEEN TIME AND
TIME AGAIN SPURNED BY AMER
IcAN PEOPLE AS UNSAFE-BRY-
ANS CRY OF TODAY.

Cambridge City, Ind, Oct. 15.-The
first real campaign meeting held by
the republicans in the west end of the
county, was that of last evening. Sam
uel H. Spooner who is connected with |
the department of justice at Washing
ton, gave d rousing speech to the re-
publican voters of this place and vicin-
ity in the old opera house. Mr.. Spoon
er is not only an eloquent speaker but
is very forceful and convincing. Much
interest was taken by the republicans
although there was only small crowd
of some 100 people present.
Judge Fox of the Wayne county cir
cult court introduced Mr.. Spooner
with few brief remarks in favor of
the republican party.
In part Mr.. Spooner said: I'VE, the
voters of this country will have to
select the man that has the best rec
ord, as the head of this great nation
for the next four years.
Bryan, who is the democratic can
didate for president, is the same old
Bryan of 1896, as far as l can see. al
though some people claim that he has
grown wiser and has accepted new
doctrines. The same doctrines that
have been repudiated by the Ameri-
can people he discusses now. Never
has policy or doctrine of Bryan
been adopted or incorporated into the
statutes Of this great commonwealth.
hn1 fnI int
laws, dire calamity would have fol-
| lowed. All the crazy fads and ideas
| of Bryan were turned down by the
party at the democratic convention at
Denver, but Bryan as the candidate of
| this party has again confronted the
American people in this campaign
with the same old questions
First Bryan went to his junk heap
and began searching for an issue with
which to confront the American peo-
pie in making his fight for president.
He dug up the 16 to l free silver bill.
He knew this wouldn't do four years
later and again he scraped among the
heap of ruins and found Imperialism
and again he recognized that he
could not confront the people with
|
ed his remaining store of left overs"
and found government ownership and
he recognized the American people
would not stand for that so he finally
"hitched on" to the question "Shall
the American people rule and this is
his main issue in his present cam
paign humbuggery.
| when Kansas wanted to be admit
ted into the sisterhood of states the
democrats objected and fought the
bill admitting that state.
When Abraham Lincoln, became
president of the United States, eleven
OF the democratic states withdrew
from the union and then followed one
of the bloodiest and disastrous wars
ever witnessed by any country under
the shining sun. "Shall the people
rule" The answer of the democratic &C
party was no"
Mr.. Bryan is personally a clean and
distinguished citizen of this country
and is a noted and silvery tongued
orator and is a politician and as a pol
itician l have the right to discuss him
as he discusses the leaders of the re.
!
Gratis believe that Bryan is sincere, !
will prove to all democrats that have
!; honored me with their attendance
that he is insincere in his discussion
of the issue of the present campaign
Mr.. Bryan lacks consistency
Some time before the election, when
} Parker was the candidate for presi
dent of the democratic party, Bryan
denounced him as being a trust man
and In other ways denounced the can
didate. 1t was well known that Park
er was with the trusts and then about
two weeks before the election Bryan
. took the stump and be gged the Ameri
can people to vote for that man and
he denounced the republican party as
party run by plutocrats.
Bryan has declared himself in fav
or or free trade as has Mr.. Marshall
the democratic nominee for governor
of Indiana.
: Mr.. Marshaif says levying of ia,
! revenue will be disastrous to the busi
ness of the country. Mr. Bryan has
said the same thing, and 1 pro-.sse
you fellow citizens that If the demo
: cratic party is successful it will be the
; death of this country.
This guaranteeing of bank deposits
of Mr.. Bryan is crazy notion, If there
ever was one. Not only that but it Is
, unsafe business proposition.
Fellow citizens think well before
, you go to the poles in November tt
cast your ballot. Fellow citizens
r think that every one should see hi.
way clear to vote the republican tic
