REPUBLICAN, SPEAKING
Aldrich and johnson Spoke in This
City Wednesday.

G H. Aldrich, republican candidate
for governor made a decidedly favor
able impression on the people who
heard his speech at the court house
Wednesday forenoon. Aldrich is an
orator of no mean ability He not
only possesses the rare abilaY OF max
ing himself understood. on, what is
better he has a message for the peo-
pie. Considering the condition of the
roads and the weather there was a
representative. audience on hand to
hear him. From the standpoint of
force of speech Dahlman his oppo-
nent bears no comparison to him He
is a gifted speaker and was sur
prise to all who heard him for the
first time,
Mr.. Aldrich was accompanied by
DR.. Johnson of Pawnee City, republi-
can candidate for state senator from
this district against Mr.. Morehead.
They both spoke in Rulo early in
the morniny after which Cass Jones
brought them to Falls City. Here
they were met by the Humboldt band
with L. Howe the republican county
chairman in the lead Mr.. Lyford
acted as spokesman and the meeting
was speedily turned over to the two
candidates.
He made a strong point by empha-
sizing the fact that that the demo-
crates do not consider Dahlman as
their candidate, but that he really is
the candidate of the brewers, corpo-
rations and interests. There is ny
questioning the fact that Mr. Aldrich
made votes while in Richardson coun-
ty. This is more than the friends of
Dahlman are prepared to concede to
his visit on German Day.
From here they took the afternoon
train for Stella, accompanied by the
Humboldt band.

JULIA WARD HOWE DEAD.
Americas Grand Old Lady Gone to
Her Reward.

Julia Ward Howe, for many years
lovingly called Americas Grand Old
Lady passed away nj her summer
home near Middleton, r. l., last Mon.
day morning, October T. 1910 from
the i'll effects of a severe cold
which brought ON complication that
her advanced years could not throw
Off She celebrated her ninety-first
anniversary the 27th OF last May by
presiding mt a meeting of Federated
Clubs in Boston.
At the biennial convention of Fed
Grated clubs held in Boston in 1909
Mrs. Howe presided at the opening
session and took active part, con
sidering her advanced years, through
out the session,
Mrs. Howe has been identified with
many of the strongest movements in
our country since the early 40's. The
efforts of herself and her associates
in the anti-slavery movements are
matters of history. Although not a
suffregate she has devoted many
years of her life to the suffrage
question and has written and lectured
extensively on woman's rights. AS
an authoress and poetess she was
unusually gifted and her works have
been as well received abroad as in
the States. The most celebrated of
all her poems is, of course, the
Battle Hymn of the Republic" Mrs.
Howe is frequently spoken of as the
Mother of Womens clubs. Her life
has been given mostly to the cause
and advancement of her sisters and
few women in the world today will
be more generally loved and mourned.

WELLMAN'S ATTEMPT A FAILUR
However, All The Worlds Records
Are Broken.

Although Walter Wellman's first
attempt to cross the Atlantic in a
dirigible air ship met with failure
he has to his credit and honor the
breaking of all previous worlds rec.
ords. His air ship was up in the
air seventy-two hours when picked
up $50 miles off Cape Hatteras, North
Carolina, and though no authentic
figure is yet given out the estimate
exceeds the $40 miles which was the
former world record for milage in
mid air.
Wellman with his crew of five men
and a cat left Atlantic City, N. J.
Saturday, October Is, at 500 a. m,
intending If possible to cross the
Atlantic. They headed north by
east in order to follow the steamer
track and the last wireless message
was goodbye" signaled the Marcomi
station at Siasconset Nantucket at
12:45 p. m Saturday Great anxiety
HAS Deell lett, So luutH 81 ludL IIeSl-
dent Taft has authorized the use of
government vessels in searching for
the party.
Heavy winds drove the air sh n al
most due south to latitude 3543, long
itude 6813, when all efforts
to locate the America were be
ing made along the east of New
foundland coast. The rescue of the
party by the Trent, mail boat ply
ing between Cuba and New York was
almost spectacular. The life boat
was cut loose from the America about
five feet above the water and the
air ship is now some where in the
air flirting with the clouds. She
was driven by the wind westward and
her fate II ever known is anxiously
awaited.
All members of the Wellman party
are safe and well and though the
trip was a failure, it is an epoch In
aerial navigation and only by re
peated failures is success attained.

Democrat Meetinq.

Only small crowd greeted Con-
gresham MCGUIRE and Underwood of
Alabama at the court house Tuesday
night. Mcclure spent most of his
time in trying to convince the peo-
pie that he had done about all that
had been done for the state in con-
gress and that if they sent him back
according to his promises, there is
nothing from mouse trap to gov
ernment buildings that he could not
secure for them OF course he had
to play to the gallaries by shot at

democratic doctrine, but he failed abb
solutely to show when democratic
tariff had brought good results or
where the remedy lay for the pres

speakers can put up good talks,
but when they state a fact that can
be or has been they must have more
than a long-winded story to substan-

the future by the past and the tar

ruANIl YOU. MIR. BRYAN.

In distributing the credit for the
great Democratic victories achieved
on Tuesday, it is hoped that due
acknowledgment will be made to the
Hon. william Jennings Bryan for his
splendid part in the work Of the most
glorious day that has dawned upon
TINS country since the election
Grover Cleveland as President of the
United States in 1884 and his re-elec-.
tion In 1892. Mr.. Bryan is especially
deserving of thanks, not for his active
participation in the campaign on the
stump, but for reserving fairly dis
Greet silence touching the Issues Of the
campaign that has Just resulted IN
the resurrection of tho party which
he had apparently ruined forever and
made 1t once more the Militant Democ-
racv. What he could not accomplish
bv keeping his mouth open, he sue
ceeded lin achieving by keeping ms
mouth shut. If this lesson shall be
duly Impressed upon him and regarded
by him in the future work of the party,
it may be able, two years hence. to
make another winning fight for the
salvation of the country.

parent defeat of Henry c. stuart for

OF the Roanoke Times.

communication to the Richmond Jour
