mited the monetary dams and let

the land, its spray dashing even upon
foreign shores.

the chattel slave, he will live forever

feited the respect of the world.
Has Weapons Of Reason.
War between the United States and
any European nation, he said, would
have set the world aflame and stopped
the march Of progress for a century.
"The sublimest picture in civil his
tory is that Of a plain American citi-
zen maneuvering with the weapons of
reason and humanity against the ma.
vies and armies of the contending ma.
tons, and bringing them in accord
with the principles of international
law" he said.

Tells of Achievements of Administra-
ton Cites Reserve Law
and Tariff Revision.

St. Louis, June 16-The inevitable
happened. Democratic tradition has
not been violated. Responding to an
invitation extended to him by the
chair, but extended somewhat reluct-
antly and only after delegates had
yelled themselves hoarse in his cause,

cratic convention, casting aside his
repertorial pencil for the time being
to loosen the usual outpour of persua-
sive oratory which was received with
the inevitable enthusiasm.
Reporter Bryan spoke his piece nice
ly. He praised the Democratic party.
He praised the President. He even
compared him with Andrew Jackson
who is little less an idol of Democracy
than TARnas Jefferson himself.
Many Laws Written.
AFTER Is years of waiting, our
party entered the White House and
fortunately won the Senate and the
House at the same time
To-day those who stand for the
Democratic party are able to 20 be.
fore this nation and not only give a
reason for the faith that is in them
but give a defense of the administra.
tons claims to the confidence of the
people.
"You may take all the administra.
tions from the beginning of the repub.
lie, and you will not find as many
laws written on the statute books OF
great Importance to the people, as you
will find written in the last three years
by Woodrow Wilson, Democratic
President"
Briefly Mr.. Bryan then referred tc
the tariff revision. the federal reserve
law and the strengthening of the anti
trust laws.
Wilson Like jackson.
mo president since Jackson" said
Mr.. Bryan, has had to meet such
an unholy combination of the powers
of high finance and even Jackson him
self never met the situation better
than Woodrow Wilson met it. W.
have just commenced to learn wha
the federal reserve law means for thi.
nation.

APPELLATE
COURT SITTING IN RECENT sEs.
SION AT MILLERs8URe
Renders Decision That Votes Are Val.
i'd Wherein Names Are Written
In Even If Cross Is Not
Affixed
(Holmes County Farmer)

The Court of Appeals, consisting of
Judges r. s. Shields, l.. K. Powell and
L. B. Houck, in session here last week.
rendered an important opinion on how
ballots should be marked in order that
the same may be legally counted by
the election officers.
The opinion rendered in the case of
the State of Ohio on relation of Carl
Schuler, Prosecuting Attorney VS.. AL
bert D. Miller. 1t was claimed by the
Prosecutor that the defendant Miller
was unlawfully declared elected at
November election, 1915, to the office
of assessor of Hardy township because
a number of voters wrote in the name
of Miller ON their ballots in place of
Thos. H. Horn, who was the Democrat
ic candidate, and which latter name
was printed upon the ballot and failed
to put cross mark before Miller's
name after SO writing his name.
The cause was first heard on the
preliminary question as to whether or
not such ballots were properly or i'm
properly counted, if there were such
ballots. The court sustained the plain
tiff on this question and held that such
ballots were not properly counted and
then proceeded, on the trial of the
case, to count all the ballots of that
election. AS result it was found
that Horn had SO votes and Miller "A,
thereby electing Horn by majority,
although Miller had been declared
elected by majority of 4 votes at the
November election. The court also
found that Miller had been purported
to have received more ballots than
he actually had votes.
