When Said, He Thinks It Done.

Philadelphia Press.
Mr.. Bryan is one of the men who
thinks saying a thing is as good as doing
it.
Everybody knows such men. Thew
talk well They start off in good shane.
They never get there.
All Mr.. Bryan's campaigns are of
this order. He makes a hit early
while there is talking and platform
making in the convention. When the
time comes in the campaign to do
things, get a chairman, organize the
campaign committee and get a treas
urer, matters drag. What is done does
not go, as this time with Democratic
Treasurer Haskell.
Then talk begins, and the bark of
bryan's fortunes floats on full tide of
Its own making. 1t was so in 1896 and
again IN 1900. There was in both those
campaigns fortnight when a great
many people mistook the reverberations
OF Mr. Bryan for the voice of many vot-
ers, sounding like the rising tide of a
coming majority.
But 1t was talk, and only talk. Saw
ing thing did not prove to be the same
thing as doing it, even if Mr.. BRYAN
devoutly believes this.

clearly why Republicans ought not to

PREACHER AND POLITICIAN.

When men present themselves to the
public as moralists and reformers
should honest, intelligent persons judge
them by their professions, or by their
acts, deeds and associations?
Mr.. Bryan, who is for the third time
the candidate of the Democratic party
for President, had himself published in
the Outlook" May 9. 1908, as Bryan
Preacher and Politician" The article
in the Outlook" was written bv
Charles Moreau Hanger, and was in
tended to elevate the moral side of Mr..
Bryan's character even above the DO
litical side. The opening paragraph of
the article is quotation from an ad-
dress made a few days previous at a
Sunday afternoon meeting under the
auspices of Young Mems Christian
Association. Mr.. Bryan said:
when started out in politics used
to think all good condensed in my party
and all evil in the other; but as have
become better acquainted / have found
so many bad Democrats and so manv
good Republicans that have become
more charitable.
Why the writer in the Outlook should
have selected these words of Mr.. BRYAN
for the opening paragraph of an article
intended to laud the moral qualities and
boost the political fortunes Of the Ne
braskan we are unable to comprehend,
unless 1T was meant to announce to the
world that Mr.. Bryan in his future Do
hticai life would refuse to be associated
with bad Democrats as well as bad Re-
publcans. Has Mr.. Bryan conformed
&c this declaration and purpose since he
has again become the candidate of his
party for the Presidency? Or has he
permitted his political ambition to over
come his moral convictions? These
questions can be answered by calling
attention to some of Mr.. Bryan's po-
iitical associations and affiliations. Has
he associated himself intimately with
dad Democrats" or is he mineling
with and taking into his confidence this
class Of men7 Newspapers report that
he is taking to his bosom bevy Of the
most immoral men, those whom he has
denounced as wicked and

pie. In that ist we find Tom Tag

In this association there is vastly
more at stake than the factor of i'm

WHY 5YARS?

From the way in which Mr.. Byars ad-
dresses the people, he evidently started
out in this campaign with the hope that
he might win enough Republican votes
to elect him to Congress from this dis
trict- He knows, as we'll as do his
managers and party hackers. that the
Republicans have very large majority
in the district. 1t has leaked out that
recent polling of the counties of the
district, made by the Democrats, dis
closes the fact that the Republicans
have majority of not less than three
thousand of the voters who are qualified
TO vote at the approaching election.
OF course there is no hope for Mr..
Byars, unless he can win more than
one-half the votes of this three thous
and majority, which the poll tax lists
show the Republicans hold. Can he do
this? Or is it more likely Mr.. Slemp
will hold the solid Republican vote and
make heavy gains from among those
who have before voted the Democratic
ticket?
What has Mr.. Byars done that he
thinks will commend him to any reason
able number Of Republican voters and
gain their aid in reversing the heayv
majorites received both by Colonel
Slemp and Bascom Slemp when they
stood as the candidates of the Republj-
can party? Absolutely nothing. HIS
political record has been such as to re-
pei rather than attract support from
Republicans. He has stood for and is
now standing by the men and the meu -
OGs of the Virginia Democracy that out
ragged the rights of Republicans and dis
graced the State. He boldly announces
his approval of the manner in which The
new constitution was made and forced
upon the people; and defantly endorses
the wicked registration, suffrage ard
election laws that were made to dis
qualify Republican voters. In both cf
his speeches at Tazewell he openly con
fessed his adherence to Rheaism, and
seemed to be proud Of the fact that he
is recognized disciple and friend of
w. F. Rhea-w whom all Republicans in
the Ninth District most cordially de-
spise
Besides, Mr.. Bysrs is opposing every
prineiple and policy the National Repub-
hcan party has advocated and is now ad-
vocating. The Republicans of the Ninth
District are now more cordially sup
porting and more completely in accord
with the national organization than
they have ever been. Surely, Mr.. Byars
can not hope to wean them from their
principles and their candidates by weak
Iy preae0anK TO them the gospel of dis
content, in feeble imitation of William
Jennings Bryan. He seems to think
there is a spirit of unrest among our
people that may possibly be utilized to
his advantage.
The Republicans will not forget that
Mr.. Byars is the friend and defender of
w. F. Rhea and his associates who
practiced all kinds of frauds in this dis |
trict. Nor will they forget that Mr..
Byars gives sanction to the vicious suf-
fra9e laws the Democratic party has
imposed upon them.

the Ninth District.

I
From his early boyhood Bascom
Siemp has been an ardent advocate Of
the principles and policies of the Repub-
hcan party. His first vote was cast for
Its candidates. and every ballot given
by him since he attained his majority
has been likewise deposited. He has
greatly eDdeared himself to the people
OF the Ninth District by boldly grap-
ping with and overthrowing Rheaism.
Inc great victory won in 1902 for our
cause, when Vim. f. Rhea was defeat
eo Tor Congress, was largely due to the
intelligent and active work of Bascom
Slemp. If he had done nothing more
that would cn,itle him 10 the everlast-
ing gratitude and earnest support of
every true Republican in the district.
But ne has done much more. As the
State Chairman OF the party he has es-
tablished a virile organization that is
now making inroads upon the Demo
Gratis IN every section of Virginia. This
Is why the entire power of the Demo
cratic party in the State is being mar
shaIec against him for the purpose of
securing, if possible, his defeat. This
alone should be sufficient to show Re-
puoIcans what their duty is.
Mr., Slemp stands today as the cham
pion Of Mr.. Roosevelt and his policies
Ills opponent is seeking to defeat those
policies; and where is the Republican in
our district who would like to contribute
to such serious misfortune or result?
There Is not Republican in the Ninth
who is not in full sympathy with Mr..
Roosevelt's administration. and thew
should and will vote for a man who is
IN touch with that administration and
who uphOlds its policies.
Then, Mr.. Slemp has been q most
faithful and capable representative in
Congress. He has proven himself the
most efficient this district has ever had.
dis time and talent have been freely
given for the advancement of the inter
ests of the people of Virginia, generally.
and of his constituents in the Ninth par
tlcularly. He has made a record of use
fulness in Congress that few men ever
attain, and in such brief period as to
make it truly marvellous.
Mr.. Slemp stands now more thorough
ly the choice of his party than any can
didate it has ever named. The conven-
ton which nominated him at Norton
was unanimous in its choice, and it was
the most representative convention that
ever assembled in the district.
That every Republican in the Ninth
will work and vote for Bascom Slemp
we are fully satisfied. He deserves to
be elected by the largest majority a
Republican candidate has ever gotten in
the district, and he will be.

By Associated Press.
OAKLAND, Sept. 11.-Deputy Mar
shall A. w. Lippi of Emeryville report
ed to Capt. Petersen of the Oakland
police today what he believed to be Inn
portant clews in the solution of the
Donohue murder case.
With an assistant he has been dig
ging over the grave where Mrs. Dono-
hue's body was found and unearthed
sections of blood-stained dirt which he
says was lying underneath the head OF
Mrs. Donohue.
In going over the dirt taken out OF
the hole he also found number OF
partially chewed cigar stumps.
In reporting to the police Lippi said
Gustave Ahlstedt, alias Arkell. a for
mer suspect in the case, now a prison
er in San Francisco on a charge OF
burglary, was in the habit of using
cigars for chewing tobacco.
Another piece of evidence is a bent
section of gaspipe which the police be-
lieve was used in stunning Mrs. Dono-
hue before her burial.
j. r. Stewart of Birmingham, Pa, q
brother of the murdered woman, has
wired the Oakland authorities to know
If it will be necessary for him to come
here to claim the estate of the woman.
