William J. Bryan As He Received
. . .
Notice of His Nomination.
SPEECH BROKEN BY APPLAUSE
As the Great Nebraskan Pledged
Himself to a Government by the
people. Justice to All He De
ctared in Formally Accepting the
Trust Placed in His Hands by the
Democratic Party.
“Recognizing that I am indebted
for my nomination to the rank and
file of our party, and that my elec
tion must come,.if it comes at all,
from the unpurchased and unpur
chasable suffrages of the American
people, 1 promise, if entrusted with
the responsibilities of this high office,
to concentrate whatever ability I
have to the one purpose of making
this, in fact, a government in which
the people rule—a government which
will do justice to all, and offer to
every one the highest possible stim
ilus to great and persistent effort, by
assuring to each the enjoyment of
his share of the proceeds of his toil,
no matter in what part of the vine
vard he labors, or to what occupation,
profession or calling he devotes him
self.
Thus spoke William J. Bryan in
closing his speech accepting the nom
ination as the candidate of the dem
ocratic party for the presidency of
the United States.
The speech was delivered under
the burning rays of an almost tropi
cal sun, and in the presence of a
vast assemblage which cheered him
almost to the echo.
Thrice honored by the democratic
party as its standard bearer Mr. Bry
an plainly exhibited the pleasure it
zave him once again to proclaim the
principles for which he stood. His
nomination for a third time, he de
clared in his speech of acceptance,
could only be explained by a sub
stantial and undisputed growth in
the principles and policies for which
he, with a multitude of others, had
contended. ‘‘As these principles and
policies,” he said, ‘‘“have given mé
whatever political strength I possess
the action of the convention not only
renews my faith @ thep, bt
strengthens my attachment to them.”
The ovation accorded Mr. Bryan
as he rode through the streets of
Lincoln on his way to the state house,
where the exercises were held, were
lon-partisan. It was the homage of
the citizens of the western city of
the plains to a distinguished neigh
vor. ~ Almost the entire republican
:x‘dnnnisn':\tion was represented, Gov.

”]"“f‘m‘ going to Lincoln from Fair

STRONG POINTS IN BRYAN'S ACCEPTANCE.
Stands squarely by the platform on which he was nominated and
the overshadowing issue, ‘Shall the People Rule?"
Charges the republican party with the responsibility of all the
abuses in the federal government, and that it is impotent to accom
plish needed reforms.
Calls on the republicans to show why there has been no tariff
reform, no anti-trust legislation and no railroad legislation, and
charges that so long as the party remains in power it is powerless
to regenerate itself,
Appeals for publicity in campaign contributions, and if elected will
call on congress to enact a law for the filing of statements of all con
tributions in elections within its control, and to prohibit contributions
by “corporations to campaign funds.
Calls for the popular election of senators and remedial measures in
the securing of natioral reforms; if elected will convene congress in
extra session immediately after his election to secure the fulfillment
of platform pledges to the people. :
Demands a reform in the rules of the house of representatives
and giving the people control through their representatives.
Points to the democratic party as the defender of honest wealth
and to the party ideal, which is “Such an administration of the gov
ernment as will insure, as far as human wisdom can, that each citizen
shall draw from society a reward commensurate with his contribution
to the welfare of society.”
In the carriage with him was John
W. Kern of Indiana, the candidate
for the vice-presidency.
Long before the time set for the
exercises to begin the capitol grounds
had become packed with humanity.
It was a veritable sea of faces that
met Mr. Bryan's gaze as he stepped
to the front. of the platform and
rec:ived the official vord from Hen
ry D. Clayton of Alabama that he
was democracy’s choice for the head
of the national ticket.
As . the democratic candidate
emerged from the capitol building
onto the platform in company with
Governor Sheldon, Mayor Brown and
others of the committee on arrange
ments a mighty cheer went up from
the multitude and continued for
several minutes.
Clayton Notifies Bryan.
Upon its conclusion Mr. Clayton,
as chairman of the committee on no
tification, turping to Mr. Bryan,
made his notification speech. He
called attention to the unanimous ac
tion of the Denver convention in
making the nomination and declared
that the democratic party, ‘“‘confident
of the righteousnes of its cause,”
was determined to rescue the gov
ernment ‘“from the hands of the de
spoilers who have exploited it for the
benefit of favorites to the injury of
the masses of the plain people.”
The applause which greeted this
utterance lasted for some time, but
it broke out again with greater in
tensity when, shortly afterwards, Mr.
Clayton, looking Mr. Bryan squarely
in the face and speaking in a voice
that could be heard by nearly every
one, said:
“You have always refused a com
promise with those who prostitute
the functions of government for the
lust of greed. It was your lofty
statesmanship, your unwavering fi
delity, vour Jeffersonian standard of
democracy that induced the repre
sentatives of millions of American
free men unanimously to choose you
as their candidate for the highest
office in the world.”
Bryan Wildly Cheered.
The climax came when Mr. Bryan
arose to respond. The crowd wildly
cheered and it was not until he raised
his hand for quiet that the demon
stration ceased and he was permited
to proceed.
Mr. Bryan read his speech in a
voice clear and strong. He was fre
‘quently interrupted by applause.
Bryan Found Sun Hot.
A burning sun beat down upon
Mr. Bryan’'s head and he was com
pelled to ask the indulgence of his
audience in his putting on his hat.
Chairman Mack, however, quickly
came to his side and held an um
brella over Mr. Bryan until the
speech was completed. Toward the
close of his speech a voice rang out:
"‘Hurrah for Bryan!”
i This was caught up by the crowd,
lincluding a number of men and boys
' who had crawled under the platform.
!Mr. Bryan was forced to pause until
the cheering ceased. The delivery of
the speech consumed exactly one
hour.
PARSON SOLVED PROBLEM.
Has Worked Out How to Attract
Persons to Church Services.
Rev. R. M. Little of the Bellevue
Presbyterian church, Pittsburg, Pa.,
has found a way to combat the
small attendance at church during
hot weather. He holds his Sunday
evening services on the church lawn,
which, fortunately, is sufficiently
spacious and pleasant for such a pur
pose. But he does better than that.
There is lemonade in plenty for the
worshipers to sip between the sing
ing of the hymns, and he has told
the men:that their prayers will be
as good when they are offered by
men in shirt sleeves as in the coat
that fashion has decided. The wo
men, too, may doff their hats, and
even the peek-a-boo waist is not de
cried.
“Why not?’’ argues the clergy
man. It is, to say the least. dis
tracting to ask a congregation to
worship in a crowded, necessarily
close church building when it can
be avoided. Will not the prayers
of the people be heard as much when
the people gather in the open to
worship as in a church? What have
the faithful done many times when
there was no church?
‘““And I cannot see that coatless
men detract at all from the spirit
that should prevail at worship. The
man in shirt sleeves and the woman
in shirt waist, do we not see them
every day and mingle with them in
the office and the shop? And surely
the offering of a cooling drink can
have but good result. It has been
truly said that hungry men will not
be religious; what difference with
those whose throats are parched?”
And the .congregation answer:
“S 0 say we all.’”
THE “BIRD" FLEW WITH MONEY
Given Her by Clients. Clairvoyant
Left Notice Tacked on Her Door.
“The bird has flown away. An
other fortune teller will be along
soon. Wait.”
The above notice is posted on the
door of the reception room of
“Madame Anna Sutter,” clairvoyant,
who for the past three weeks has
been occupying a suite of rooms in
a prominent Columbus building.
She left the city Saturday saying
she was going to another Georgia
town and would be back in a day or
two. She has not yet returned, and
in the meantime various Columbus
people who have been promised, in
consideration of the payment of
divers sums of money, to be shown
the location of lost treasures, and
to be given other equally valuable
information, have been visiting the
rooms, looking in vain for the clair
voyant. It is reported that Madame
Sutter was given much money and
jewelry by Columbus patrons, and
people of all classes called to see
her to secure information regarding
lost jewelry, missing relatives, etc.
Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold.
A. S, Nusbaum, Batesville, Indi
ana, writes: ‘“Last year I suffered
for three months with a summer cold
so distressing that it interfered with
my business. I had many of the
symptoms of hay fever, and a doc
tor’s prescription did not reach my
case, and I took several medicines
which seemed only to aggravate it.
Fortunately I insisted upon having
Foley’s Honey and Tar. It quickly
cured me. My wife has since used

To Save Harry Thaw From a
Seat in the Electric Chair. |
e i
MOTHER SPENT ALL HER MONEY
C o |
And the Countess of Yarmouth Ro-;
sponded Heroically, Besides $6OO,- |
000 of His Own Money Relatives |
Have Spent $1,500,000 in the'
Fight for His Life. |
That three fortunes, besides that
of Harry K. Thaw, have been swept
away in the effort to save him from
the electric chair is informationi
given by one very close to the Thaw[
family, and who has been the confi-i
dant of Mrs. William Thaw through‘
most of her troubles. I
Those who are said to have lost
their private fortunes are Mrs. Wil
liam Thaw, the mother, and the two
sisters, Alice, formerly the Countess
of Yarmouth, and Mrs. George Lau
der -L‘urnegio. These three are said
to have sacrificed almost $1,500,000
between them, certainly not less than
$1,000,000. They are said to have
spent every cent of their available
money, leaving them only the Coke
Trust and reserve fund incomes,
which William Thaw years ago pro
vided for his family.
In addition to this, it is said, Har
ry Thaw has spent between $500,-
000 and $600,000 of his own money.l
This in spite of his assertion that he
has spent only $200,000. At the;
time Harry was giving out these fig-|
ures at Poughkeepsie on Friday his
attorney, Charles Morschauser, in
Pittshurg, was making the statement
that Thaw had spent about $600,-|
000. Roger O’Mara, the receiver
for Thaw, who was the first man
sent for by him after he shot Stan
ford White. said that the figures
$500,000 are too small for Harry's
expenditures.
Thaw filed a petition in bankrupt
cy last week to get rid of claims
which he disputed. This list iu('lud—'
ed $60,00v to the law firm of llart-!
ridge & Peabody and $BO,OOO |
claimed as a fee by Attorney John
B. Gleason.
There is no doubt in Pittsburg
that the mother and two sisters of
Thaw had to bear the brunt of the
fight alone. The five children of
William Thaw, by a former marriage,
did not, so far as-can pe learned,
spend any of their fortunes to help
save him, nor did the two full broth
ers of Harry Thaw, Josiah and E(l-l
ward.
Mrs. Thaw Appealed in Vain.
It is known further that appeals
by Mrs. William Thaw, made recent
ly to members of her family for
financial aid in Harry s case, met not
only with refusal, but the quarrel
resulting was so bitter that there
has been partial estrangements be
tween her and the children of her
husband by a former marriage.
Mrs. William Thaw turned again
to her own daughters, Alice and
Margaret. .
‘‘He's not only my brother, but he
fought for me, and would have
killed the man who later became my
husband when he said something
slighting of me. I did not believe
him then, but I know now that he
was right, and I'll beg in the streets
before I'll allow him to stint for
money,”’” was the way the former
countess of Yarmouth is said to have
met the last request of her mother
for more money.
Mother Spent All Her Money.
The financial condition of Mrs.
William Thaw is said to be pitiful.
The $191,000 which Harry confesses
to owing her is said to be but a
drop in the bucket. She has placed
a mortgage for $lOO,OOO on Lynd
hurst, the old homestead of the
Thaws. It is boarded up, and bears
the appearance of a ruined castle.
In years past Harry Thaw’s moth
er has been known as the best con
tributor to charity in Pittsburg, her
annual contributions reaching per
haps $50,000. She has withdrawn
from all her charitable organizations,
giving the straightforward excuse
that she could not spare the money.
20,000 TELEGRAPH
OPERATORS NEEDED.
Young Men Prepare Yourselves
for Good Positions.
On account of the new 8-hour law
passed by congress in the interest of
telegraphers, and also on account of
so many new railroads being built
and old lines extended, an unusual
demand for operators has been cre
ated. Conservative estimates have
placed the number of additional op
erators that will be required during
the next ten months at approximate
ly 20,000.

PORTUNITY! Enroll in our school
