Our distinguished congressman should have a crowd and It is safe to predict that the court room will prove too small for his audience. 4 We are all sorry that Colonel Roos veil was gliot by a crank, but that doesn’t in the least affect the political issues. He represented principles which are not changed and with which the majority are not in accordance, it 1 will not change the result of the ele< - 1 tion in a single state. A crowd estimated at twenty-live thousand today greeted the greatest c.i j all living Americans. William Jennings < Bryan. when he entered Decatur. His * half-hour speech in the court house ' yard was received with enthusiasm that left no doubt in the minds of those who heard, tlmt the people still love this chteftan. In the hearts of the' people he is still the man who tights all the time for them. -- ————— if some one had prediceed a week ago that the success of Old Home week would have meant that one hundred thousand people would have visited the city this week, no one would have believed it. but the total it is now admitted will not be for from that amount for the six days. It has been a wonderful week and should forever do away with any idea that we can't do things The fact is we an do anything we try, and do li better than anybody else. Mr. Dehprity, head of the state i’oard of accounts, lias tiled his re;>ort covering the work of that organisation since It was established about two years ago. While the amount expended is more than that recovered, it is largely explained in the fact that the work had to be started Heald-’* this a million and half dollars la charged and pending against former officials During that time $233,000 has been recovered and there can be no doubt that the work done has advanced the state as to liookkeeping report!* etc. It makes the official more careful and It is safe to say the la'v is one that will remain on the statute books The determination of Governor Wilson to cancel as quickly as possible his campaign speaking dates until such time as Colonel Roosevelt can again take the stump is one that does the democratic ..ornlnee infinite credit However, much we may disagree Imperial $3 Hate ■yOU don't need an um- • brelia if vou wear an 1 np erial $3.

with Colonel Roosevelt in his views, the fact remains that he holds a’high place in popular regard. Governor Wilson has been a fair foeman throughout. He has kept his campaign upon a high plane and has found it. unnecessary to resort to abuse and bitter personalities. The people are prepared to show their appreciation i of this fact in November, and his i graceful deference to the present sit ' nation reveals a new glimpse of the 1 really large calibre of democracy's can--1 didate.

In continuing he said that the ' annual panic scare was being brought lup by the republicans to lessen the democratic power. Ho said that it was strange that though we have had ■ three panics in fifty-two years, alnrii the birth of the republicans, they men- | tion btit one and that is the panic of I 1392. the democrats wore th" leaders The democrats at that time id been *n (tower only a short tfhle, fie said, and had not yet had time to repeal the republican laws that 'brought the panic The ojher two panics he said, that we hear nothing j about from them, came while they were in pow-er. The first was in 1873 ' when the republicans had had full | control for years, and the other in 1907 ‘ when they were still in power. I He burst into pleasantry when ho said that the split in the republican party this year, which could not but render an easier victory for the demo- | crate, showed the republicans fear but .two other things more than the panic which they claim will follow on the heels of democratic victory. These things are: That the Roosevelttamt fear a second term of Taft more than the panic: and the Taftltos fear a third I term of Roosevelt more. Else they would not have split and given an ease victory to the democrats and their prophesied attendant panic. Bryan's speech was given with his characteristic ease and power, and cheer after cheer, greeted the many bright (Kiints and pleasantries that abounded. At 9:15 he concluded amid t ringing applause, and was escorted to his specially decorated automobile of 1 ! - |>lutfton delegation and taken to ■ that city where he spoke for a short , while.
