Now Mr. GuIIlomin did not acquire
all these acres As 4 result altogether Of
his farming operations, which we're

limited area. he vas saving. careful.

TO make a name for himself.
Bresnahan Is a native OF Dowagiac,

age OF 30, he had dream OF fame as
a lawyer and answered the call to De-

several years during the time he was
studying law. He washed windows.
solicited newspaper advertising and
did anything that was honorable in
order TO work his way through col
lege.
After he received his "sheepskin" he
hung up his single in Detroit, but
one day while business was dull he
came here and decided to conduct an
old-fashioned spellbinding tour OF the
county, having been nominated for the
Office OF prosecuting attorney. IL GER
tainly was an old-fashioned Campaign.
The Republican candidate will testify
10 this, because Bresnahan was elected
prosecutor, notwithstanding the coun-
~ was strihingly Republican.
So the Democrats have picked this
enterprising young lawyer TO invade
the section Of the state from Saginaw
north to the straits, and endeavor to
convince the voters why they should
cast their ballots for the Democratic
party. asked young Bresnahan IL II
really would surprise him II he were
elected attorney-general. and he smiled
and replied:
We'll, guess not. firmly believe
the Democrats are going TO win"
According to Bresnahan, the Demo
Gratis believe II they can persuade a
good portion OF the voters in the dis
trict north OF Saginaw to the straits
To vote for his ticket. the Democrats
have a better chance TO win this year
than they had two years ago. He
pointed out that this region was not
invaded as Il should have been.
Young Bresnahan's philosophy Is to
"hoop 'er up and II you lose turn with
a smiling face to the field OF battle

The Dowagiac folk are watching the
campaign with keen interest. They
are wondering IL Bresnahan's victory
IN Cass county will be repeated n the

be greatly surprised II the hustling

MOLDER ORATOR
GIVEN HOT TIME
Audience Badgers A. c. Rankin, Sent
Here To Stump for Denby-Meet-
ing in Constant UprOar.

An audience of less than 200 per
sons greeted A. c. Rankin, the Iron
molder orator." as he styles himself,
In the Light Guard armory, Thursday
night. Mr.. Rankin was sent here to
assist Congressman DENLY, but the
questions fired at the speaker and at
Mr.. DENLY by the workingmen In the
audience and the unsatisfactory re-
plies given, tended TO injure, rather
than help the candidate. AT one time
the Interruptions were so persistent
that Mr.. Rankin threatened to call
the police, but the questions kept
coming.
Rankin consumed nearly an hour
in talking about himself and explain
ing his former union labor connec-
tons. He said he had worked at the
trade of iron molder for IL years, be-
ginning in 1872, and continued a
member of the union until 1888, when
he was given an honorary card, he
said. He does not claim to speak for
any union now, however.
The fun started when a young man
asked Rankin II he would take the
stump for an open-shop man.
Il would not" was the emphatic
reply.
you don't know. suppose, that
Mr.. DENLY declared for the open
shop?" continued the young man.
The speaker was up in the air"
for a moment. Then he shouted:
I'D rather stump for Mr.. DENLY,
an open-shop man, than for any free
trader In the United States"
do you know that Mr.. DENLY uses
the union label only when he 10 run
ming for Officer" the same man asked.
II don't know anything about that,
but | know that Bryan doesn't use
the union label on his own paper"
was Rankins rejoinder.
why has DENLY voted against
every bill In the interest of organized
labor since he has been In Officer"
What bills? Specify"
HE voted against the anti-injunc-
ton bill
Here Mr.. DENLY broke in with
Your own leader, Samuel Comp
ers, opposed that"
This brought shower of questions
from several directions and 1t was
then Rankin threatened to call the
ponce.
When Rankin was discussing the
hard times Of the Cleveland admins
tration, an old man in the rear of the
hall spoke up, saying:
Were times any worse then than
in 1872"
That's an old chestnut" was the
retort from the platform. Have any
more smart Alecs got any questions ?"
Asked to define the difference be-
tween progressive and a stand
patter, Rankin referred his questioner
to the standpatters and progressives
themselves.
Mr.. DENLY also was on the rack
several times during the meeting.
His record in congress was repeated
ly thrown up to him and his explana-
tons were far from satisfactory to
the audience. pr

Whether Highland Park will re-

Is Incorporated under a special char

LECTURES START SUNDAY.
Director Griffith Plans Interesting
Course for Art Museum.

The eighteenth annual series of
Sunday afternoon lectures in the De.
troit Museum of Art will begin Sun
day afternoon, Oct. 30, at $3.50. These
informal talks have become an i'm
portant part OF the museum work
Their long-sustained interest and pop,
ularity have been a source OF gratif.
cation and inspiration to make the
series each year OF more interest and
value to the large crowds that assem-
Bile to hear them. 1t is a matter OF re-
greet that owing to the limited capac-
ity Of the auditorium children cannot
be admitted on Sundays, but each
week during the winter months, one
or more illustrated talks are given 10
the pupils of the public schools, which
in a measure Offsets the difficulty.
This year 1t is planned to begin n
series under the title "Know you
own country" beginning with the
events which led up to the discovery
OF America, It's early settlements, its
marvellous growth, and progress and
development, its wonderful natural
scenic beauties, its cities and the
achievements OF its people. The
museum Is open from to 4 Sunday
afternoons, and the lecture begins
promptly at 1880.
