WOULD BRYAN BE Harmless?

Some persons say that if Bryan
we're elected he could do no harm,
for the Republican senate would tie
his hands, and the senate is certain
TO be Republican for four years more
at least. regardless of any mutations
which may come in the presidency
or the house of representatives

posed Bryan not only for the nomi-
nation, but until long afterward and
which now give him q half hearted

his candidacy on the theory that the
Republican senate would make a
cipher of him if he should carry the
country. Those papers ought TO un-
derstand that If Bryan could do
nothing in the presidency except
draw his pay this would be pretty
good reason why he should be kept

Guilty of Fraud.

A verdict of guilty on both counts
of the indictment charging conspiracy
to defraud the United States govern
ment was returned late Friday in the
case of George Fred Terry and Henry
W. Bosnian. Counsel for the defend :
ants filed motion for new trial.
Terry, who is president and general
manager of the Sawyer Publishing
Company of Waterville, and Bosnian,
who was the clerk in charge of second
class mail matter in the Waterville
postoffice, were jointly indicted on
charges of conspiracy to defraud the
government of money due for post
age on magazine published by the
Sawyer company.
The indictment was in two counts,
the first charging conspiracy to falsify
the classification of second class mail
matter and to make false statements
relative to the circulation of the
magazine with intent to defraud the
government, and the second charg-
ing conspiracy to make false returns
as to the weight of second class mat
ter. The trial was begun Feb. 25
Both Bosnian and Terry were nearly
overcome when the verdict was an
nouneed, and Mrs. Terry and Mrs.
Bosnian, who had been in constant
attendance during the trial, were tax
Ell from the court room weeping.
This is the first conviction in the
United States of any publisher for the
misuse of the second class mail priv
