convention in seconding the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Bryan. has arranged
speaking dates in Illinois. Indiana,
Ohio, Kansas and Nebraska. Mr..
James Is q popular speaker, and there
are as many demands for his appear
ance on the stump as any other cam
paign orator. While a visitor at Dem
ocratic National headquarters this
week. he said:
Bryan will be elected president in
November by the greatest land slide
the country has ever known. The

Mr.. Bryan in Judge Taft's home city

THE dishonest and corrupt method
the Republican party is resorting to in
It's desperation to defeat Mr.. Bryan
should cause all honest men to re-
buke It," continued Mr.. James. The
circulation Of the pretended article by
Grover Cleveland against Mr.. Bryan
shows to what extent the Republican
party Is willing to go in order to en-
trench in power for four years longer
the agents Of monopoly and the serv-
ants Of plutocracy. They were will
ing not only to desecrate the men,
DRY Of Mr.. Cleveland. but to forge his
name to an assault upon Mr. Bryan

We may expect them again to write

corporations, corporations that ha
created q trust upon transportation
and monopolized the highways OF
commerce. telling Hartman we are
practical men and asking him to gath

party. What difference can the peo-
PIE distinguish between the Stand
ard OIL company sending $4,000 to
senator Foraker to buy up newspapers
ana mrther the cause Of the Repub-
hcan party, and Hartman, who at the
oenest Of President Roosevelt, got the
trusts and monopolies to contribute
S1oVS00 to be used directly on the
voters, except that in the first in
stance Senator Foraker returned the
money to the Standard Oil when he

newspapers? But Roosevelt allowed
'ne Republican party to use the money

some way to make amends he
should at least see that his party re-
turns the money which Hartman con-
imputed, to the widows and orphans
