JOHN AYLwARd, City Atty. of Madi-
sou, yesterday announced his candidacy
for the democratic nomination for gov
ernor at the fall primaries. MIR. Ayl-
ward says that he does this in response
to numerous requests, many putting it
on the ground that having made a
fight two years ago when the contest
was hopeless one, should be given
an opportunity to make it now when
there is some probability of success"
In closing his announcement, Mr..
Aylward says:
81 am thoroughly in sympathy with
Mr.. Bryan and the principles of our
party, both state and national.
THE time is ripe for strong, vigor
Gus, aggressive campaign for Demo
cratic principles.
IF nominated shall make the strong
est campaign am capable of making
If elected, | will devote ali my energies
to carry out the promises and sacred
pledges made by our party to the people
of the state.

HERE should be ringing plank in
the Denver platform demanding that
the heirs of the Bennett estate hand
that $50, 900 over 10 Mr. Bryan-Chi-
cago Tribune.
That would not be bad idea. 1t
always seemed to us that Mr.. Bennett
had perfect right to leave his money
to be used to foster the ideas which he
believed, especially as he left his heirs
well provided for. The partisan decis-
ion of the New England Judge who
rendered the decision against MIR. Ben
nett's will, weakened the faith of mil
lions of Americans in the integrity of
our coIrts. The trustees of Lawrence
university are just starting a suit
against the estate of millionaire lum-
herman who only promised to give the
university $4,000. The same principle
which leads the republican papers to
picture Brys1 as trying to. steal the
Bennett $50 900, from the poor widow
and orphans, would make thieves of
the heads of all our universities.
The high character of Mr.. Bryan and
the moral degeneracy of the republican
press are both well illustrated in the
way the g. o. p. papers use the Ben
nett will case as trump card.
They can't use any Mark Hanna cam
paign fluids; Hartman contributions
or insurance funds stolen from widows
and orphans, against VIM. j. Bryan.
