COWARDlY ATTACK
None Too Good to Escape the Slander
of Political Opponents

As Al. evidence of the maliciOusness
and t~uly desperate. methods which
are going to be used against all friends
of political reform during the present
campaign we quote the following from
the Minneapolis Journal of Sunday:
Wellman. in the RecOrd-Herald, to-
day saws that probably no other preSl-
dent of the United States was ever
more savagely maligned than Mr..
Roosevelt. His enemies have now tax
en to assailing his sanity and his ha-
bits. Nothing like it has been known
since the "copperhead' bitterness
against Lincoln and the "drunkard
slander against Grant.
From the venOmous charges made
against him, President Roosevelt needs
no defense. He himself gives no heed
20 the reckless lies told about him, no
after by whom invented or circulat-
i 40 The strength and dignity of his
N>MNra cter are superior to any tempta-
SAhWgto reply, but his friends have the
f4Ryt to speak for him, or if not for
= 'fF, for the dignity and inviolability
R Ihe office of president.
DR.. Allen McLane Hamilton has
charged in an article in the North
American Review that President
Roosevelt is insane. Unknown scoun
drels in Wall street have circulated
the lie that President Roosevelt is a
drunkard."
Mr.. Wellman says those who know
Nthe facts are amazed and intensely an
gered because of Hamilton's insinua
tions and an inquiry is made as to
his motives for such a dastardly at
tack. 1t is found that Hamilton's son
was tried by courtmarshal in the
Philippines and found guilty. Hamil
I ton appealed to the president. The
offense charged against Lieut.. Hamil
ton was the use of improper language
. IL the presence of the wife of one OF
his brother officers.

TO OPEN INDIAN RESERVATION
Congressman Philo Hall Introduces an
Important Measure

Congressman Hall sends the Re
gister a copy OF the bill which he
has introduced in the house OF repre-
sentatives for the opening OF the
Cheyenne Indian reservation. Mr.
Halls bill is similar to the one in
troduced by Senator Gamble in the
senate only Mr. Halls includes the
entire reservation and if the bill is
passed the state will add thousands
of dollars 10 its school land fund
Congressman Hall writes that Mr..
Marshall of North Dakota has intro
duced similar bill TO open the Stand
ing Rock reservation
1t certainly looks as though the
Brookings county congressional rep
resentative was mapping out some
valuable legislation on behalf of his
constituents.

Nobody in Neche. y. d., attempted
to lick c. r. Erstad of Brookings. S.

Chronotype man looked him over but
shook his head and decided not to
tackle. Mr.. Erstad is six feet eight
and half inches tall. He is proper

not give one the impression of tallness
so much as that of bigness. He
weighs 2j0 pounds, and is not fieshy.
Mr.. Erstad wears only soft hats. He
used to wear the other kind. but he
broke so many of them when he would
forget and stand up straight in coun-
try hotels, that he quit. His other
discomforts are many but he accepts
them smilingly. The hotel bed sheet
usually looks to him about like a pock-
ct handkerchief and he is often oblig-
ed furl up some OF himself in order
to get within the limits of the bed.
But he sells the goods, which is the

SENATOR RAYNER SAYS IT
WILL BE BRYAN.

. After Bryan's last visit to Washing.
ton, thu Warrington correspondent of
the B sltimore Sun interview ed Senator
Rayner. who said: .,.,
i"You will recall the fact that last
summer l wrote several articles in the
Sun, which were copied in foil in the
New York Herald and the New YORK
World, the object Of thess articles
being to pioneer the way for some
consensus of opinion as to who would
be the proper candidate for our party
Ny efforts did not materialize and as
your paper al ways wants to know the
truth, l tell you now that DO not
see the faintest sign OF any organized
opposition to the candidacy of Mr..
Bryan in any state of the Union.
1T is a paradox to say so, out the
democratic leaders here who are
against him are all for him. Trey
will tell you that they are against him
and at the same time will tell you
that the DELEGATIONS from their states
will be fer him in the convention. I
have no views of my own to present at
the present time, nor can I foresee
what day will bring forth.
The true situati N this hour-and
eA0O 10 "Aou you "0uG Uu0t DIydu
has wonderful hold on the demo.
cratic masses. and, if the convention
met tomorrow. in my Judgment. be
would be nominated by reclamation.
Those of us who want the democrtic
party to win have day after dav here,
In informal conferences suggested the
names of democratic candidates who,
we believe, Guild carry the pivotal
states that must be carried in order to
give as the electoral vote.
Every one of us recognizes the
enormous strength OF Mr.. Bryan with
his party, bat. knowing Mr.. Bryan as
well as We do. We all feel bis
patriotism, his character and hrs high
sense OF personal honor would cause
him 20 yield it he thought that his
candidacy would imperll the chances
OF party success: That moment, how
ever. has not come, and his
enthusiastic followers at. this hour
have supreme confidence in their
belief that he is closer to the hearts of
the people and can pull larger vote
than any other candidate who could
be selected. - ~. ;

We had done all we could for our

by the frankness and fearlessness of
the NebrsskaU, are the same class as
the republics who are alienated by
