BRYAN WILL TAKE THE
STUMP FOR WILSON,

Wm. Jennings Bryan has closed his
chautanqua season, having made a
total Of 1903 chautauqua dates. His
last was at Jewell City, from which
place he said he intended to go home
for two weeks rest then begin his
political campaign for Wilson and
Marshall, work harder than ever be-
fore, and expects to see them elected.
BY request of the chautauqua man
agement, largely Republicans, at Jew
ell City, Mr.. Bryan talked politics,
telling his view Of the Chicago and
Baltimore conventions. He was in
troduced by a bull Mooser, Mr.. j..
W. Berry, the chautauqua president,
and the only time Mr.. Berry ever dn-
troduced anybody.
Mr.. Bryan slapped the newspapers
that reported him as endorsing
Roosevelt, because he facetiously had
remarked that Mr.. Roosevelt had got
to be Democratic in spots lately, but
he doesn't trust Roosevelt, backed by
Perkins, any more than he does Par
ker, backed by Murphy.
At the close Fred Beeler, the cat
tie king Of that section, said to him.
81 haven't seen you since we we're IN
Chicago"
NO" said Bryan, Did I tell 1t
straight about your convention?"
YES" said BeeIer, you did"
Mr.. Beeler Is a Taft man who be-
neves that Taft was nominated BY
the same rule and customs that his
predecessors were and because RoOse-
veh wasn't the winner Il u hardly
fair to make Taft the victim Of sud
den change labelling It reform"
While on the platform Mr.. Bryan
advocated the change IN all conyen-
tons to have the new committee or
ganize the new convention.

EUGENE v. DE6s ONCE
MORE BECOMES CANDIDATE

In marked contrast to the notkiea-
ton ceremonies practiced by other
political parties, Socialist presidential
nominee, Eugene V. Debs accepted
his nomination, Monday, August rs,
simply by informing the newspapers
that they were at liberty to print his
address of acceptance which he had
sent them in printed form.
No committee called on Mr.. Debs
and there was an entire lack Of cere'
mony Of any kind. The extreme sim
plicity Of the occasion was marked
further by Mr.. Deb's.. preparations
for trip to Fergus Falls. MINI,
where he delivered an address the
following evening.

The HORSE SHOW
A Grand Display Of the Best Of all
Breeds at the Hutchinson Fair.

Kansas is gaining in the breeding
Oh good horses faster than any other
state in the Union. This fact is large
~ due to the education Of the people
through the instrumentality Of the
State Fair at Hutchinson. Farmers
and stockmen have nov had more
than eleven years of opportunity in
observing and studying the various
breeds Of horses as to the qualities
and characteristics of each breed of
oralt horses. They are getting an
ideal pretty well fixed in their mind
and they are buying the best from the
best stables Of America and Europe
Last year Kansas led all other states
In the number Of new members Of the
american Percheron Society. 1t is a
notorious fact that the average integ.
MY OF Kansas breeders outclass that
OF the breeders Of any other state. The
whole breeding business rests upon
the integrity Of the breeders. II
a breeder is not fair, square and

STOCK is questioned. The Kan.
san Is too smart to misrepre.

selling an animal. He is too indie.
pendent to be dishonest. After try.

This gives Kansas bred horses a pret.
" valuable standing in the horse
world, and Kansans will do well to

number OF Kansas stables showing at

will take pleasure in answering cues.
