AMAZED AT BROTHER’S STAND.

Pure Food Apostle Astounded at Learning Judge is “Bull Moose.” Washington, D. C., Sept. 18.— Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, who has been in retierment for some time on his farm, while he looked after the crops and marketed twenty-two steers, for which he received over $2,000, learned for the first time today on reaching Washington that his brother, U. Z. Wiley, of Indianapolis has turned to a “bull moose,” and has been nominated for congress in the Indianapolis district. “You don’t mean it,” he said, greatly astonished. He added that he never was more surprised in hig life.

"Why, I thought the Judge was an old standpatter,” he said. “I ; never saw any signs of insurgency about him. I do hope that he accept the nomination.” i As Dr. Wiley ia going out to Indiana to denounce ColoUel Roosevelt in a series of red-hot speeches week after next it was suggested there might be a good chance to j work up a joint debate between him and his brother the judge, i “Well, it wouldn’t be the first .time that we have taken opposite sides on a question,” said the doctor. “When we were boys we *set- ; tied our disagreements with our fists. But the runny part of it is that we have always agreed on , politics heretofore. We were both * republicans, straight. Now lam whooping it up for Wilson and Marshall and you tell me the judge is a bull moose. I can hardly believe it."
