"On my return to Norfolk from my
trip abroad, | don't find my name on
the list of democratic candidates. The
proper filing was not made. which |
thought my friends would do for me.
But in view of the stand taken by the
party am glad of it,"
This is the statement made by ID.
Rees who, before leaving with his
wife for tour of England some weeks
ago, announced his candidacy for the
democratic nomination for a seat in
the state senate from the Eleventh
district Madison. Pierce, Stanton and
Wayne counties.

party has taken is a very good one.

and lose a few republicans.

submitting to the people what they
want"
Mr.. and Mrs. Rees returned Sunday
noon.
Mr.. Rees strongly opposes the stand
taken by the democratic convention
at Grand Island and declared that the
stand taken by Mr.. Bryan was a good
one. He also believed that Mr.. Bry-
ans influence would strongly aid the
republican candidates.
In talking the county option propo-
sition, Mr.. Rees said

There probably was some misun
derstanding somewhere" said Mr.
Rees when asked if he was a candi
date for the state senate.
Takes Issue With DR.. Ray.
Mr.. Rees reports fine trip through
England and is out with a hatchet
after Rev. C. w. Ray, who he says
misrepresents the English people wher
he says they have not much use fol
J Americans. On the contrary, says Mr.
Rees, the English are great admirer!
of the American people and are al
ways ready with good word for them
He also says that DR.. Ray is wrons
