Judge Hanford in 1896 Did Not Believe That the Fol lowers of William Jen- nings Bryan Were Loyal Americans
CHICAGO PLATFORM
 WAS MADE A TEST
It Was Also Brought Out
 at the Hearing That an
 Account of His Fondness for Certain Drink Judge Was Known as Martini"
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

SEATTLE, July 12.-After wit ness had testified today before the house judiciary subcommittee that United States Judge HanfOrd was an intense patriot" the committee placed on record a copy of letter written by the judge in october, 1896. to an attorney, who had recom- mended that the judge appoint a certain man to office.
 The letter in part says: Your letter of October 19 together with the petition for the appointment of Mir Weppler to be United States court commissioner at McMurray. has been referred to me. I do not usual lv inquire into the politics of persons recommended to me for appointment as commissioners, but loyalty and the belief that the national government may rightfuIly exercise it's lawful au- thority in all places are qualifications for office and when the time comes for making the appointment 1 will not regard MT. Weppler as a suit able person unless l am assured that he is not a supporter of the Chicago platform or of candidates for office who subscribe it's declarations. I say this because l am not personally ac- quainted with Weppler and do not know his position in this campaign. %
 Don't you know the effect of Judge Hanfords letter would have been to disqualify from holding of flee six million American voters o. asked Chairman Graham
 Other witnesses testified today as to the drinking habits of Hanford One witness testified that Judge HanfOrd is called Martini a well known drink, in nine out of ten sa looms" The witness said that he had been threatened with business ostra- cism because of his testimony.
 SEATTLE, July 12.-The Seattle BaI association in response to the request of Chairman Graham of the sub-com. mittee fog aid in the Hanford hearing adopted resolutions appointing a com. mittee to assist the sub- committee ir obtaining evidence and then adopte, another resolution expressing conf. dence in Judge Hanford.

Con Violated Tradition.

On the advice of a friend the motor
salesman demonstrated a $4,000 ma
chine on particular stretch of Long
Island road. He came back to town
Disguised
Roads all right" he said, "but the
policeman over there is no good. You
couldn't give away the best machine
on the market with chump like him
standing around"
What has the policeman got to do
with your making a sale?" the friend
asked.
"Do?" said the salesman. EVERY
thing. Any policeman who knows his
business will arrest a demonstrator
If he is going only four miles an hour
That tickles the purchaser; makes
him think he is getting machine
that is capable of smashing every
speed law in the land. But what
happened on that Long Island road :?
Nothing. hit 1t up to sixty miles

WHAT HOLDEN STANDS FOR.

The following from Mr.. Holden's
what he stands for:
II am not candidate of any fac
ton, nor upon any fractional issue.
have no fractional alliances of any
KIND. l have no fractional friends.
And, as belong to no faction, l as
sumo that l have no fractional enc
mics. have worked with every man
who was willing to help build up Iowa
and Iowa agriculture and Iowa indus
tries, without asking, or knowing, or
caring to know, his political or fac
tional alliances. AS a candidate, and
as governor, if elected, l will pursue
the same policy.
II have been at the head of the ex-
tension department of the Iowa State
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts from its beginning. In this
work / have been in every county in
the state. have come in contact
with every phase of our agricultural
and industrial life. ] have thus had
an opportunity to acquire at first
hand some knowledge Of Iowa condi-
tons. | think l know some of the
things that ought to be done if Iowa
is to continue to maintain her suprem-
acy among the states.
propose to conduct my campaign
for the republican nomination on
platform for Greater Iowa. By this
l mean the upbuilding of Iowa agri-
culturally, industrially, commercially,
socially, educationally.
1T will be my purpose as a candi-
date, and as governor, if elected, to
give especial attention to the things
needed to make better, happier, a
more prosperous state. 1 realize that
this is something of departure from
the usual method of conducting a
campaign; but it seems to me that
Iowa people might very properly,
without regard to political align
ments, and without neglecting cues
tons of more general character,
give some attention to those problems
which ;le of peculiar Importance to
US as state, and which have such
vital bearing upon our future happi-
ness and prosperity"

felt no fear. She shook q small fist
at him. crying:
20! You sultan! Do you want all
this beautiful shade?"
Run! For goodness sake, run!"
the major painted at her elbow, him
self turning and sprinting at a sur
prising rate.
The bull made to follow him, bel
lowing and paving as he ran. Elise
stepped nimbly aside-she was too
amazed, too angry for fear, though
she knew there was real danger.
Knots of scarlet ribbon fecked her
white frock-the sunshine glinting on
them, ascented them so the red crea-
ture grew mad over them. Wheeling,
he would have charged her, disdaining
to follow the flying major, but that a
lean, long arm reached over his neck,
caught the halter end and brought him
up standing with jerk.
Joe Bassett up in the tree, easing
his heart through the medium of very
bad verses to Elise, who had smitten
him hopelessly at first blush, had
come to the rescue. 1t was near
thing. For half minute it seemed
the bull would break away-but the
lean hand held with a grip of steel.
Presently the animal stood subdued,
but painting angrily, wild to get at
Elsie. but held subject to man.
You had better go!" Joe said, con-
fritnlv fhn1,uh hi ri
pable for the spelling of her walk.
She shook her head at him, smil-
ing, as she said: II shall stay-till
help comes. Remember runner
has gone for it,"
Something in her tone made Joe's
heart sing. She was looking him over
critically. eff l take off your belt
don't you think you can fasten him
to that small tree with it?" she asked
little hesitatingly.
Joe nodded laughing. How he
blessed his stars for putting on that
ugly leathern strap, instead Of fancy
girdle. 1t took all his self control not
to change color when Elise put her
arms about him to loosen it, but some
how he stood like craven image.
Fate was on his side. After the bull
was fast. standing disconsolate, a
tricky wind blew to Elise. the blurred
sheet Joe had dropped. He tried to
reclaim it-but with her most win
some smile she put the hand holding
1t behind her, saying softly:
II want to read it when am all
alone"
Just then farm hands came run
ming in. True enough, the major had
sent them. He himself waited at the
stile for Elise, but after one look in
her eyes walked sedately ahead, leav-
ing Bassett master of the situation.
Master of it he remained.
They were married in the fall Joe
put by his pride and overlooked Elsie's
money-which she thought an adora-
BILE thing to do.

Byzantine Dome of st. sophia's in
constantinople Is to Be Saved
From Destruction.

The oldest of the worlds architec-
tural marvels-the Byzantine dome
of st. Sophia's, in Constantinople-is
threatening to collapse beneath the
weight of it's fifteen centuries of ex-
istence. At this moment a commits
sion of French and Turkish experts
are considering means of preventing
such disaster, which would be la
mented not only by every traveller in
the east but by Christians and Mos
lens alike.
Not only the centuries, but humid
ity. earthquakes. CONGREGATIONS. bonn
bardments. have, each and all, con-
tributed their share of damage, under
mining slowly but surely the strength
and solidity of a proud memorial of
Hellenic inspiration and Hellenic
achievement.
Emperor John vi. Palaeologus in
the fourteenth century did much to
preserve the temple. In more recent
times (1S47) the enlightened Sultan
Abdul Medjid undertook the PREPARATION
Of the damage done by time and
earthquake
Last year the Ottoman government
engaged the well-known Italian archi-
tect Signor Marangoni, who had re-
stored the Campanile on the Piazza
ST. Marco in Venice to investigate
ST. Sophia's dome and submit a de.
tailed account of necessary repairs.
Signor Marangoni estimated the cost
of these repairs at about 100000
The Ottoman government considered
this was too high sum to be spent
on an object that is, after all, of no
paramount national interest to the
Moslems themselves, since the edifice
is. of course. Christian house Of
worship.
Accordingly the work necessary to
preserve the venerable monument to
Christianity will be performed under
an international plan.

HAVEN'T WE HAD ENOUGH FAC.
TIONAL POLITICS?

For many years Iowa has been the
battle-ground of a terrific fractional
political war.
The fight between the two factions
of the republican party has been more
severe than the fight between the re-
publicans and democrats.
Matters of supreme Importance to
the state have been neglected because
republicans could not work together.
Haven't we come to the time when
we should give more attention to
Business, and stop wasting our ener-
gies fighting one another?
Holden is booster, and he can
work with every man who wants to
make Greater Iowa.
Holden is not tied up with any fac
ton or any interest except the inter-
est of Iowa.
Why not cut out fractional politics
for a couple Of years and do some real
state building?

BLISS LAUDS WORK
OF P. c. HOLDEN
FORMER AMES ASSISTANT OF
CANDIDATE ADDRESSES
THE STUDENT CLUB.
HOLDEN A REAL STATESMAN

Ames, Iowa.-The students of the
Holden club at the Iowa State col
lege held their regular weekly meet
ing last night in the alumni hall.
Prof. G. R. Bliss, formerly on the staff
in Professor Holden's department,
spoke to the club members of Hold
ems business ability in the manage
ment of the department funds and
how he had caused every dollar ap-
propriated for his department to do
double duty for the benefit of the
state.
Real Construction Work.
"1t has required more tact, diplo-
macy and real ability to handle the
work that Professor Holden was en-
gagged in here in the state of Iowa the
past ten years than will be required
OF him as governor" said Mr.. Bliss.
Ellis work has taken him into every
county in the state, often dealing
with delicate and highly important
subjects that had to do with the well
fare and upbuilding of the commun-
tiles, but no one has ever heard of
discussions or turmoil over any part
of Holden's work in any part of the
state. This is remarkable when we
take into account his ten years of
constructive work over the state,
dealing with the wide range of SUBJ
jects. His work reflects the highest
order of craftsmanship.
An Important Difference.
The difference between the poll
ticlan and the statesman is this: the
politician gets himself elected through
demagogy and insincere promises; the
statesman creates a desire for better
things among his constituents and
then keeps faithfully and everlasting
ly at it until those things are accom-
plished.
Holden has stimulated an inter-
est and desire for better farming.
better living and better educational
advantages and then proceeded to
help the people realize that desire. It
has required real craftsmanship and
unusual ability to accomplish what he
has done.
Personal Sacrifice.
Relative to some crlulcisms that
his political opponents have caused to
be circulated against Holden concern
ing his work prior to coming to
Iowa, Mr.. Holden held important bust
ness positions before coming to Iowa
and made good. His position as man.
ager of the Funk Brothers 27,OOO
acre farm in Illinois was probably the
most important position ever held by
an agricultural college man. He re-
signed that position, which meant
financial sacrifice, in order to come
to Iowa."
