members of the party saw a human

to be that of John Goggan. An exam-

NO. 327.
Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 6.—
Willial Jennings Bryan left here at 4
o’clock over the Rock Island railroad
for Chicago, and thus began a three
weeks’ campaign tour which will carry
him into the Middle West, the eastern
states and back through the West
into South Dakota before returning
home.
Perhaps no recent news affected the
Democratic candidate for President as
the announcement that Mr. Taft pro-
posed making a campaign tour. Mr.
Bryan regarded his opponent’s decision
as a distinct vindication of his course
in the present as well as his two pre-
vious campaigns, whea he tracked over
the country and delivered political
speeches. When asked if he had any
comment on the subject, Mr. Bryan
said: X
“Well, I am getting great deal of
consolation out of the ‘ ay the Presi-
dent and Mr. Taft have been doing. I
used to be called hard names because I
advocated an income tax, and now the
income tax has been indorsed by the
President and Mr. Taft. I used to be
bitterly denounced because I favored
railroad regulation. Now the President
and Mr. Taft have brought that reform
into popularity and I am no longer con-
sidered dangerous. I used to get a
good deal of criticism because I favored
tariff reform, but now tariff reform has
become so urgent that Mr. Taft is will-
ing to have a special session called im-
mediately after the inauguration to act
on the subject It used to be that when
I talked about Independence for the
Philippines I was told that the Amer-
Idan flag never came down, once it went
up. Now we have a Republican candi-
date for President who believes the
Philippines must ultimately have inde-
pendence.
“But I have reason to rejoice over the ‘
fact that some of the things I have
done are now viewed In a more favor-
able light When I secured some pho-
nographic records in order that I might ,
discuss political questions before more
people, the Republican papers ridiculed 1
me, and called it undignified, but Mr.
Taft has lifted the phonograph to an '
eminence by talking into it himself.
“And now my greatest sin is to be 1

fishing as a double holiday. The party
was provided with a tent and a camp-
ing outfit and landed at the reef short-
ly after 10 o’ciock. All. with the ex-
ception of the boat crew, had landed
and wore engaged in putting up the
tent and making ready the camp for the
night when the squall, which had been
gathering in the northeast all evening,
suddenly broke upon them and the
tent was torn from its fastenings and
the camp supplies scattered over the
reef.
There being enough of the party to
look after things, and as the waves
caused by the high wind were sweep-
ing over the reef, five of the party.
George F. Burgess Galveston’s county
clerk; Ben Phillipa John Goggan, John
Lubben and John Moore, decided that
they would return to the yacht and
pass the night there, where it would be
more comfortable.
. The party of five had but taken to
the skiff and cast loose from the shore
when the squall Iacreased in fury, and
for a few moments a veritable cyclone
raged with the waters from the bay
leaping and plunging in waves five or
six feet high. It was then that the
skiff with its heavy load became un-
manageable, and turning broadside to
the waves, immediately filled with
piles and an order from Duluth has
been placed for what is desired.

few remaining buildings in Chisholm
