Attraction at The West Union, O..
Chautauqua, Monday.

To have remained as long in the
public limelight as Mr.. Bryan has been
and still is a national figure. means
but one thing and that is that Mr.. Bry-
and is one of Americas big men. The
fact that at Palm Beach last winter he
occupied himself teaching what was
known as "The Tourists Bible class"
every Sunday morning, is proof
enough that Mr.. Bryan is not out for
Just what he can get out of this world,
but that he wishes to do something for
his fellow citizens. He is coming to
the inland, isolated village of West
Union to lecture at our chautauQua,
because he wishes if possible to help
us. Mr.. Bryan is not without honor
and, you should not fail to hear and
see him. Those who fail to hear this,
Americas greatest lecturer and ora
tor, certainly are missing one of the
greatest treats West Union has ever
offered.

to the house. One Of the men returned
to the pike in a very short time and
fearing that if he attempted to take
this man the other three would escape
from the house, he permitted him to
pass. In short time the other three

he stopped and arrested

Pressed Steel Car Bethlehem, Crucible and U. s. Steel were higher by large fractions to two points. Shippings also improved but rails failed to throw off their recent apathy. Preliminary quotations for the principal foreign exchanges rates were irregular refiecting latest political de- velopments abroad.
 Noon.-The markets tone became more uneven during the morning, the 6 per cent. opening rate for call mon ey, due to withdrawal of government funds, evidently acting as a restraint upon bullish operations Some of the stee1s, equipments, motors, sugars and merchandising issues extended their early gains but foreign oils became heavy. Mexican Pet. reacted 1 3-8 points and General Asphalt and Hous- ton were lower on prof1t-taking.

EMERY WILL SEEK
 ELECTION AGAIN
American Legion Commander
 Begins His Campaign

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 26.-With the arrival today, of Major John G. Emery of Grand Rapids, Mich, pa- tional commander of the American Legion and statements by Major Emery's friends that he expected to be candidate for reelection atten- tion turned to the political end of the National Legion convention next week. Indications are that several candidates would be in the field. - Roy Hoffman, national executive committeeman from Oklahoma, is definitely in the field and other pros pecttve candidates are Col Milton
 Foreman of Chicago and John F. Will
 Hams, commander of the Missouri de- partment. More drastic legislation governing
 transmission of anarchistic and radi-
 cal literature through the mails was recommended by the Americanism commission of the Legion today in it's report announced by Director AL
 win M. Owsley, former attorney gen.
 eral of Texas. The commission which
 opened it's annual meeting this morn
 ing began consideration of large
 number of recommendations to be submitted to the national convention of the Legion here next week.
 The directors report recommends the passage of a law which would prohibit the sending through the
 mails of any printed, written, photo graphic or pictorial matter that has
 an un-American tendency and also
 an insurance clause, prohibiting the sale of such matter.
 The suggestion that a certain part
 of each day in the week of school
 sessions should be devoted to patri- otic exercises or the holding of a
 morale hour' has met with hearty | response and the stars. and stripes are flying from the fagstaffs of more American schoo1houses than ever be- l fore in American history" said the report.
 More appropriate and solemn nat
 uralization cerem monies for aliens were l urged in the report.
