PEERLESS LEADER
WI, Bryan Drops Into City

Il am for any progressive and OPP
posed to any reactionary.'
This Is as near as William Jennings

viewed at the Union Station this
morning.
Mr.. Bryan looked hearty and vigorous
when he stepped from the train and
swung out of the station with lively
step There was no delegation Of Dis
trict Democrats to greet him, and no
demonstration. Cotter T. Bride was
the only person waiting to extend his
hand, other than the newspaper men.
This was In strange contract to Mr..
IBryan's arrival at the Union Station
four years ago.. when he was n third
time candidate for the Presidency
Several of the station employees who
have known Mr.. Bryan for years were
given a handshake.
When pressed for an interview, Mr..
Bryan said: II would like to tell you
something, but really have nothing to
say"
He would not comment upon the pos
Isibilities of either OF the coming con-

then added:

game OF giving a guess each morning.

Mr.. Bryan also would not discuss the
results in Nebraska, his home State, or
go further into the inference that he
was willing to support either Wilson
Ior Clark, or Underwood. When asked

Z AM A REPUBLICAN, BUT NOT
A THIEF" SAYS Mr.. STEWART

Stewards speech was in part az
follows:
I've demand that republicans
control the party; the machine de-
mands that the party control the
republicans. Therein lies the only
divergence of opinion. We contend
that the men and women OF Colo
RADIO, who comprise the electorate OF
the republican party, are greater
than the half dozen self-assumed
leaders who put blinders on the
party and drive it into the green
pastures of the corporations.
"As republicans We are barred
from participation in honestly con-
Quoted party primaries. The acid
test is applied and humiliation fore
ed upon republicans whose loyalty
to the party would cover . moro re-
mote and continuous period of time
than the loyalty of some Of these
censors of party aRiliation.
II am q republican, but ! am not
q thief. am not one Of the kept
republicans Who bends the hinges Of
the knee TO the bsckon Of the cor
poration bosses"

TO Be HUMMER

Erie, July 23.-Biscuit day will
be the largest celebration ever held
in Erie If the plans of the financial
committee are carried out. The
committee has been working to
raise sufficient money to insure the
success OF the day and from reports
it is certain that the celebration will
be well financed: The cost of the
celebration last year was only lit
tie over SO cents per capita on the
population. The town as a corpora
tion will donate $3.50 this year for
Biscuit day and similar purposes.
The finance committee will meet
this week with the other commit
tees and definite arrangements will
be made for the celebration. which
will take place in September.

In q short time the fruit crop OF
Colorado will begin to move east
ward and all reports indicate that
this years fruit crop will be the
largest ever gathered in this state.
Indications are that the extent of
the increase will tax the ability Of
the railroads to handle 1t. One Of
the best boosts for the west that
has been read in recent years was
recently printed in an eastern agri-
cultural paper as follows:
Western fruit, apples, cherries.
plums, peaches and pears. are be-
ginning to move to eastern markets.
This fruit, owing to the low freight
and quick transportation, comes
east and sells in our markets in
competition with fruit grown in the
eastern states. A 20 pound box of
peaches, grown in the Grand Valley
in Colorado, can be shipped to st.
Louis for a cost OF a few cents and
owing to the superior quality of the
fruit, sells for more on the market
than a so pound box Of Missouri
