Bryan Pays Tribute
To Women Voters
In Nebraska Speech
AURORA. Neb., Sept. 20.—(8y the
Associated Press.) —Without naming
parties or candidates, Governor
Charles W. Bryan, democratic vice
presidential candidate, ran the ga
mut of outstanding questions of the
campaign in an extemporaneous ad
dress today before a large farmer
a Udience.
He addressed a non-partisan gath
‘ering of the Hamilton County far
mers' union, which held its ninth
annual picnic at. the county fair
grounds and spoke as a man ‘‘who
never had time to discuss theories,”
but as one who was “interested in
applying business principles to gov
ernment."
I am a practical tnan,” Governor
Bryan told his audience.
Governor Bryan dwelt primarily
on agriculture, but took occasion to
Pay generous tribute to the women
voters of the country, to laud the
work of the farmers' union in wip
ing out the middleman, to attack
the building up of party machines,
both state and national, for patron

people to demand of each candidate
that appeared before them to out
line specifictally his views on “pro
gressive” issues.
Agriculture." the nominee de
clarejJ, “is being assessed for the
benefit of the privilege seeking c*ass

ernor Bryan stressed that part of

that would eliminate artificial price
fixing and prohibit the price abroad

determine price at home.

his money on the farm and spends
it in the city,” and an agricultural
id in which class he placed him
solf for the last four years, "as
one who makes his monev in tl c
''ity and spends it on the farm.”
mxernor Bryan was generously
applauded during a summarization
of savings to the state in taxation
and coal and gasoline bills.
Declaring he was as much inter

matters as though he were going

FOR several years, the national papers and magazines have
been fighting for Southern subscribers. In this fierce
competition, they have been cutting their prices away below
the cost of mailing out their periodicals.
As a result, our readers have been able to get the cream of
the periodicals through T$- Weekly Journal clubs at ridiculous
ly low cost.
That bitter competition is about to be replaced by saner and
sounder business methods on the part of those publishers. So
clubbing prices are going up.
You will ALWAYS be able to get clubs through us as cheap
ly as from any other publication—but we will have to increase
our prices on all our present combinations on October 1.
Subscribe now and save money.
If your subscription expires within the next six months, it
will pay you to renew now if you want clubbing combinations.
We have the other publishers tied up with contracts until
October 1. They can’t raise their prices to us before that date.
Until then, you can get any of the combinations listed below at
the remarkable bargain prices which have been in force since
January 1.
Don’t wait till it is too late. Act now.

PARTNERS IGNORANT OF LIFE
OF MISSING STOCK BROKER
DESPITE LONG ASSOCIATION
After 28 Years in Same Of
fice Ruined Exchange Men
Find They Have No Inti
mate Knowledge of De
faulter
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal—Copy
right, 1924.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—1 t long
has been the boast of the average
New Yorker that he did not ‘know
and did not care how his neighbor
lived. It has been said that you
might live in the next flat to a man
here in the metropolis for a decade,
and never know whether he was
married or single.
New York is proud that it is not
“nosey.” It is the big impersonal
town, a sort of “live and let live”
affair.
No longer need there be any proof
of these sophisticated- assertions.
Impersonality has been carried to
the last degree. A. big brokerage
house has gone to the. wall. It has
traced on the New York Stock ex
change for fifty-three years. It has
been a, pillar of business substan
tiality. It has been pointed to in
“the street” as the great example
of business ethics. To be permitted
to trade with such a house has been
considered a privilege almost equal
to that of entering the most exclu
sive club in the city.
But now the house has failed —•
failed for $1,900,000 or more—and
one of its six respected members is
missing. A general alarm has been
sent out for his arrest. He was a
member of the firm for twenty-eight
years, having worked up from mes
senger.
Knew Nothing of Man
Now that, he has gone his follow
members of the firm have Come to
the sudden realization that they did
not know anything about, the man.
They didn't know whether he wps
married, whether he had a family,
or where he lived. It had never
occurred to any of them to call upon
him in the evening. If he had a
club no one knew anything about it.
Os course there were the down
town lunching clubs, but they are
little more than restricted restau
rants.
Someone in the firm “thought”
the missing partner lived in Brook
lyn, but when the police were called
in at last to investigate, the address
one member of the firm thought he
remembered turned out to be false.
Thus a man who had been the
daily associate, of his partners for
nearly three decades turns our to be
a "man of mystery.” Nowhere else
in the world could that have hap
pened.
"Isn't that, just like New York?”,
you heard everywhere in the street.;
today. And the comment was made
with still that boatetful note in it.
The surviving members of the
firm of Day & Meaton still are too
stunned to give a coherent account
of their relationship with the miss
ing partner or even to guess at the
amount of his supposed defalcation.
Certainly it is over half a million
dollars—maybe it will reach the mil
lion mark.
George R. Christian; w > took ad

The police in their two days on
the scent have learned more about
the ex-broker than any of his busi
