detailed statement of the amount OF
property owned by him, which he placed
at s150,0O0 at the outside. William j.
Bryan. democratic candidate for Presl-
dent in a speech here today. declared
as false the accusation of Speaker Jo-
seph g. Cannon, made yesterday in
Springfield, Ill, that he was worth
million dollars, and called upon the
Speaker to be as frank in making known
to the world the amount of his own
earthly possessions
In the course of his remarks Speaker
Cannon is credited with saying that Mr..
Bryan had accumulated a million dol
lars selling wind and ink to the public.
The democratic candidate referred to
Speaker Cannon as the third man in in
ffuence in the government, '"if not even
above the Vice President in his power
to influence legislation" and said that 1t
was only fair that the Speaker should
apply to himself the same rule that he
applied to me and take the public into
his confidence

has this to say Of me:

$1,000, 000.'
"A little later in his speech he drops
the qualifying phrase and says, as if
upon his own knowledge, there stands
the democratic candidate, successful
ChautauQua lecturer, who has made a
million dollars selling wind and ink to
the public
.'Manyexagserated statements have been
made in regard to my earthly possessions

has been made by any man of political
standing or responsibility. / think I am
justified, therefore. in speaking of this

Started With $4,000.

81 was worth about $1,000 when 1 was
elected to Congress. I served four years
and by careful economy I saved between
5000 and $4,000 or about $1,000 a year,
SO that when i went out of Congress in
the spring of 1895 1 was worth about
$1,000 or $1,000. During the period that
elapsed between the end of my congress
sional terms and my nomination for the
presidency, about year and four months
! was engaged in speaking and in lectur-
ing, and added but a small sum to my
savings.
After the election in 1896 my earning
power as lecturer was largely enhanced
by the prominence which the campaign
had given me. My book, The First Bat
tie brought me $1,000 and 1 gave an
equal amount of the profits to the various
committees that had carried on the cam
paign of 1896. My lectures have been
profitable and my writings have paid me
well. but no one attends the lectures I'M
less he wants to do so, and no one buys
what 1 write unless he is interested in
reading it
More than half Of my time since 1896
has been given to gratuitous work, and
yet / have been able to support myself
and accumulate property which l would
estimate at about $125.OOO. little as one
can accurately say what property is
worth until he sells il.

When this matter comes before our
congress do we want the fair name
OF South Dakota to stand out as
in favor Of polygamyS Do we want
our neighboring states to point at us
as in favor of the practice Of poly
gamy? The records in the Smoot

which will be taken by our senators

OF South Dakota are in favor of such

of polygamy IS not upheld by South
Dakota, that the people of his state
are lovers of purity in the home.
The Mormons well know that the
people are about ready to take some
strenuous action in this matter and
consequently are doing all in their
power to place in congress such
men as are in sympathy with their

At the rallies held at Huron last
week it was noticeable that the stall
wart speakers Kittredge, Martin,
Burke, Elrod, Bueli-devoted their
talks entirely to lauding President
Roosevelt and Secretary TAFT and to

pie. The insurgent speakers-Craw-
ford, Egan and Glass men
toned Roosevelt or Taft, but just
simply put in their time damning

office seeker, Crawford. In one

Damage Caused by Breaking of Dam
Near Helena, Mont.


Helena, Mont, April 1.-two lives
have been lost, the villages of Hauser
Lake and Craig have been destroyed,
dozen cabins at Oxbow, the site of
another dam, have been swept away,
railroad traffic has been tied up and
ranchers have lost heavily in live
stock and buildings as the result of
the bursting of the 100000 dam at
Lake Hauser. Many thrilling escapes
from death have been reported. The
loss from the food will reach $500, 900.
Great Northern Agent Stewart of
Wolf Creek reports that the track
from Wolf Greek east as far as he can
see is flooded to depth of three feet
and that for three miles or more it is
completely washed out and in places
overturned, while the rails are twist
ed and bent in every shape by the
foaming waters. Twenty-eight miles
of track are under water.
1t is figured conservatively that for
at least twenty days no trains can go
over the line and no repair work can
be done until the water between Wolf
Creek and Cascade recedes.
The washing out of this stretch OF
track between Wolf Creek and Cas-
cade will tie up practically the entire
traffic Of the Great Northern between
Helena and st. Paul.

the proposition out, for it would give
us hard jolt in the country for the

gent faction of South Dakota, and
which, in the same issue, carries
annual statements of insura nee CON-
panies from o. s. Basford, the COM
missioner of insurance, which in a
large part accounts for the stand for
that faction they have recently taken,
we clip the following from their
write up of Senator Kittredge's
speech in that city recently: "The
senator said that he had been
criticised for his vote in the senate
against the seating of Reed Smoot,
the alleged Mormon senator from
Utah, and made an extended defense
of his vote on that matter. He
appeared to think that Mormonism
is an issue in the present campaign
in this state and spoke strongly
against polygamy and in favor of the
maintenance of the purity of the
American home. 1t did not appear
that there were any supporters OF
polygamy in the hall and his remarks
were generally applauied."
