More MISREPRESENTATION.

ture as supplements to the various
country papers that Is wholly mis-

than honest. The particular offense
we wish to call attention is con-
tanned In the Interpretation of the
new registration laws given by At
torney General Conley. The Demo-
cratic party affects to stamp the legal
opinion of the attorney general as

Republicans to show how voters may
fraudulently be registered, meaning
that the Republican registration Of

law for the purpose of securing the

RrYnn For Hi1nseIf.

The Warsaw Bulletin gives the fol-
lowing showing the selfish interest
I Bryan has in running for office and
the real motive which causes him to
run:
w. T. DowdaIl, one of the old war
horses OF Democracy in Illinois, a
veteran editor who was for many
years located at Peoria and who has
fought the battles of his party for
more than half a century, like Judge
VIM. Prentis, refuses to support
Bryan. Here is what he has to say:
"If the Democratic party ever
elects another man to the presidency
it will not be through the help of
Bryan. but in spite OF him. He has
led the party to defeat twice, and
caused it's defeat once and will. If he
is allowed to have his way bury it
next November. AS editor and pro-
prietor of the Alton Daily Democrat,
l antagonized the action of the Illf-
nofs state Democratic mass meeting
held in Springfield on June II. 1868,
when they passed the so-ealled peace
resolution, but which was in reality
secession resolution. The reasons
that caused me to antagonize my po-
litical party then caused me now to
do the same thing and refuse to sup
port William Jennings Bryan for the
presidency. OF his candidacy in 1896
l have no criticism to make. After
making that race, instead OF taking
proper place in the ranks, of the
Democratic party and helping to build
it up, he took to the lecture platform
and charged admission to all who
went to hear him make his political
speeches for himself. He said he was
going to write a book for the benefit
of the Democratic party, but he-sim-
ply published in book form COM
pilation of his speeches for the bene-
fit of himself He then announced
THAT he would publish a Democratic
newspaper and started the Commnn-
er, and a common thing it has been.
Mr. Bryan forced the silver PLANK in
IT,, Kansas City platform for the pur-
pose of causing his own nomination,
when he knew that he could not be
elected, but he knew that as the nom
inee of the Democratic party he
could make big money on the lecture
platform, and that is what he was
working for.
I'm 1904 when Bryan saw that he
could not secure the nomination 70"
himself he took such steps as would
make it impossible for the Democrats
to elect their candidate. Bryan
knows he can run for President and
be defeated and that it VIII nos hurt
him. but II some other man ran on
the Democratic ticket and was elect

Democratic Attack on the Rural Free
Delivery System.


Delivery System.
In view of the fact that Alton B.
Parker, late Democratic candidate for
the presidency, joins Bryan and the
Democratic Denver platform in at
lacking the Republican party for, as
the platform and Parker put it, add
ing $4,000 oficeholders at an annual
charge upon the country of over S1O,-
100000" to the roll of national serv-
ants, it is a reasonable inference that
tits the purpose of Bryan. in accord
ance with and in obedience TO the Dem
yer platform on which he stands. to
do away with these oficehoIders and
save the $To.01O.O0o. Otherwise the
platform would he meaningless and
misleading.
Who are the ofticehoIders. and what
is the money paid for?
The sum Of 5.5oo.o0o-more tllun
half the amount complained offs paid.
out to maintain the rural free delivery
system on 1920 routes serving rs.
100000 of people In all parts of the
United States, and the carriers on those
routes are the ''oficehOlders" whose
employment the Democratic platform,
Bryan and Parker denounce as I'M
necessary and extravagnnt.
The only ineligible deduction from
the Denver declaration and Bryan's and
Parker's speeches in support of it is
that Bryan, IL elected, would seek to
abolish the rural free delivery system.
Bryan and hts platform denounce the
expense of the free delivery system as
an unnecessary addition to the burdens
of the country, and Bryan would be
bound. IL elected, to see the burden
removed.
What do American farmers and 9TH
er country residents, to whom rural
free delivery has been an inestimable
blessing, think of the Democratic dec
laratIon against it?
The Republican party. represented by
Taft and Sherman, proposes not only
to maintain but to extend the rural
free delivery system, which has been
of the greatest benefit both to the rural
community and to business OF all
kinds. Subscriptions to newspapers,
local and metropolitan, have increased
enormously, and farmers are able to
keep advised of market quotations and
to sell their produce to the best adj
vantage. A better knowledge of the
affairs of the outside world has slim
ulated intellectual Improvement, and
altogether 1t may be said that no other
agency has contributed so largely to
make country life more attractive.
There is an ancient saying that
whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad" and mad, indeed,
the Bryanites must be when they de-
lIberately attack one Of the most bene-
hcient measures ever devised for the
uplifting, the comfort and convenience
of many millions of Americans-the
rural free delivery system.
