Editor Brandon News, Dear
Sir. i am aware of the fact that
newspaper men get a great deal
OF criticism and but very little
praise. AS a self-appointed rep
resentative of large majority
of your readers, | desire here
and now to honor you and con-
graduate ourselves on the stand
you have taken, and which you
re-stated in the last issue of your
excellent paper, with reference
to whlskey advertisements and
the like. We are glad that you
are unwilling to flush your bank
account or even secure the
necessaries of life with such
blood money" We are glad
that you are unwilling to tell us
and our boys, through the
columns of your paper where to
get that which keeps us from
being men. We are glad further
that you are not willing to place
before the eyes of our mothers,
our wives and our daughters the
picture of that bottle which re-
peats to them the dark story of
sorrow, suffering and disap-
pointment.
May you have yet many years
of success in clean journalism.
May your patrons, abstaining
from the costly thing of tipping
be led to pay you promptly for
the good paper you are giving
them. May the position you
now occupy become a strong in
fluence for good among your
fellows and the time soon come,
and that too without legis-
lation, when all of our papers will
be too clean for such advertise
ments. Again congratulating
ourselves and thanking you for
the honorable stand you have
taken, am yours very truly,
BRYAN SIMMONS.

BATTLE TO A DRAW.
Both Men Badly Battered at End Of
Fifteenth Round.

San Francisco, April l.-With a
disadvantage of at least eight pounds
against him, Abe Attel. champion
featherweight of America, last night
fought Battling Nelson of Chicago, to
Il fifteen-round draw. AT the end of
the contest both men were fairly de-
luged with blood Nelson's face in par
ticular was the worst sight.
Attell had the advantage in all the
earlier rounds. He matched his super
ior skill against the rugged and stur-
dier man and by outgeneralling his
opponent in this manner was fair to
earn clear-cut decision. Nelson. how
ever forced the pace thruout. all the
while seeking to force Attell into close
quarters. Attell. however, was elusive,
but all the time shooting lightning
left and right iolts to Nelson's dis
figured face. The turning point came,
however in the ninth round Nelson.
who had been taking his punishment
without a whisper. finally succeeded
in getting past Attell's guard and once
having paved the way. he worried his
man The battler landed some power
full body punches in the succeeding
rounds and changing his tactics played
for Attell's face until he had blood
in streams from his oppon-
cnl's nostris.

WILL BE TWO DINNERS
Friends cf Bryan Promote Second JEFF
ferson Day Banquet in New York =
Bryan Asked to Speak.

New York April There will be
two Jefferson day dinners in New
York on the night of April 13, and
William j. Bryan will be the chief
speaker at one of them f the plans of
Harry Walker, head of the New York
progressive democratic league, do not
fail.
one of these dinners will be at the
Hotel knickerbocker and under the
auspices of the National Democratic
club. Bryan was invited to attend
this dinner, but was not asked to
speak Today Walker announced that
II. n. Hughes, Of Springfield, Mo, has
sent to him check for $1,000. to be
expended in celebrating the birthday
of Thomas Jefferson. Walker said he
has engaged the ball room of the Wal
dorf- Astoria hotel for the banquet
April 13, and has telegraphed the facts
to Bryan and asked hSm to be the
speaker at this dinner. Wal
ker declared that two-thirds of the
members of the National Democratic

Delegates Gathering at st. Louis
Mad Over Action of Neb-
raska Convention
MAY NOT SEAT NEBRAsKANs
Unless Delegation Promises to Support
Populist Ticket 1t Will Be Turned
Down Convention Probably Will
Refuse to Incorporate Prohibition
Plank in Platform.

st Louis April Numerous dele
gates to the populist national conven-
ton arrived today, it becoming evident
from the expressions of arrivals that
ton taking any stand against prohibi-
ton. The matter will certainly come
up in the meeting of the committee on
resolutions, and may be dragged into
debate on the floor of the convention,
but a considerable number of the del
egates are against any plank in the
platform touching upon prohibition.
The national committee of the peo
pies party and the various organiza-
tions which are also to take part in
the convention met today to complete
arrangements for the convention.
The Nebraska delegation. which is
instructed for William j. Bryan for
president. was expected early today
but had not arrived up to noon. 1t
is possible that unless they agree to
abide by the action of the convention
the Nebraskans may be denied seats.
There is Il strong feeling among many
popuistS that the action of Nebraska
in endorsing the democratic candidate
has placed that state outside the popu-
list ranks. II the Nebraska people
declare, as it Is reported they may,
that they will vote for Bryan no mat
ter whether he is the nominee of the
populist convention or not. it is certain
they will not be allowed to participate
in the convention in any manner, but
will be ruled out on the ground that
they are not populists, but democrats.

oDELL DEFEATED IN PRIMARY.
Former New York Boss is vanquished
at Polls,

New York, April Herbert Par
sons beat off Odell at the republican
primaries in New York county and i'll
Kings McCarren laid out the Murphy
! Coler combination. The result in New
York county really is defeat for ex-
Governor Odell. Planning to regain
control of the local republican organi-
Zation and to obtain thru that control
the bossship of the republican state
committee, Odell had fostered fights in
every assembly district in which he
thought he had chance to win. 1t also
was his aim to change the present
representation of the Parsons men in
congress so he could dictate the MAX
ing up of the national convention and
to virtually dictate the composition of
the new state committee which he ap-
pointed at the republican state conven-
ton.
Odell failed to take a single assem-
bly, district from Parsons. Out of the
contests made at yesterdays primar-
les Odell succeeded only in retaining
the Seventh. Thirteenth and Twenty
eighth districts, the leaders of which
are Odell men. and it was only by a
narrow majority he kept control of the
Thirteenth district. Had Charles B.
Page Parsons candidate. beaten Will
liam Hahn, the present leader of that
assembly district, Odel would not only
have lost the district but it would
have meant that William Halpin, one
of his two state committeeman in this
district in this county. would not have
been reelected to the committee at the
state convention.
