C0mmoner Sees Great Opportunity for
Democratic Party--Als0 Has
His Say on Reciprocity

DES MONIES, la, May 2.-De-
claring that the outlook never was
brighter for success of the Democrat
j. party, and that the party had ex-
ceeded the widest hopes OF enthusi-
asts in the election of large ma
jority in the lower house Of congress,
William j. Bryan last night delivered
an optimistic address to members of
banquet here.
He pointed out not only was there
large majority in the lower house
OF congress but that it was a united
majority battling for progressive
Democratic principles. He also stated
the success of Democrats in the SEN
ate was greater than he expected and
declared although the party was in
the minority with the aid of the pro-
gressive Republicans it could swing
legislation. Mr.. Bryan also predicted
great things for the party in the
campaign of 1912.
In touching upon the Canadian reci-
procity agreement the great common
er stated the movement was the first
step in breaking down Of the entire
protective tariff wall. He declared
the farmers free list bill as presented
in congress was the most strategic
party move in thirty years.

NEW HOMES FOR SETTLERS.

For Settlement.

The matter of the governments tax.
ing up the subject of the Mesa Verd,
National park, which contains some
Of the finest ruins of the Cliff Dwell.
er's age to be found in all the world
is a matter of vast importance to this
city and vicinity.
1t seems that in creating the ma
tional park some mistake in survey
was made and that the really desira-
BILE part of the ruins were left en-
trely out Of the reservation and it
is now the intention of the govern
ment to arrange with the Ute Indians
for the tract of about ten square
miles which contains these magnifi-
cent ruins and include it in the ma
tional park and to throw out and open
up for settlement almost fifty square
miles of territory which is now in
cluded within the limits of the park.
This land is very nearly all of great
value, being first-class agricultural
land, and the opening of it for set
tlement will be n great thing for the
San Juan country.
Major Mclaughlin of the Indian
department is here today and Assist
ant Commissioner of Indian Affairs
+. II. Abbott will arrive in this city

one and the citizens of the town are

ice, now in the department, He is a

of by the house; and came back at
times to specify upon or in support of
the free list bill
Representative Rucker (Dem.) OF
Colorado, who voted against the reci-
procity bill, attacked that measure in
