Book, waiter of Ohio. The Commoner has no Beparate occasions given skecthes of men well worthy of being mentioned in connection with theDemocratic nomina tion for president, and this week it gives a sketch jf Mr. Bookwalter, prepared by a friend and admirer : "It fellows that a man who ii a care ful, prudent,! honorable and aggressive business man makes a good puble offic ial. If he is self-made, then he is of necessity broad-minded, for no man can pass through the various stages, leading from poverty to riches, without having his mental vision broadened, his sym pathies quickened and bis intellect en larged. "Hon. John VV. Bookwalter, of Ohio, ought to make an ideal candidate for the Democratic nomination for the president cy ; for he is self-made and is one of the f jiiioost business men of the country., . He is in touch with the east and exten sive iuterests bind him closely to the west. He farms in the trans-Missouri region on a large scale and mauufactrrea ia the east. He has business intereetB extending from Delaware, where he has a steel casting plant, down through Ohio, where he makes water wheels and has lnrge real estate interests, on out to the foot hills of the Rocky Mountains, which mark the bounds of his Nebraska fdrinB, with real estate interests in Illi nois, Indiana, Kansas and Nebraska. "Beared on an unpromising farm in a sparsely settled region on the banks of Wabash in Indiana, it was not until he was nearly ?5 years of age that Mr. Bookwalter stopped out into the broad world. Like Lincoln, his early op portunities were very meagre and he earned his bread by the sweat of his brow, beginning early and working late to make the stump-covered soil of the clearing yield a bare living. At an early age he developed an unquenchable thirst for knowledge that later cropped out in the fact that he is an authority on politi cal economy, science, mechanical en. gineering, sociology and the classics. Under the most adverse circumstances he was indefatigable as a student at home and when he did leave his birthplace he was well equipped, not only with knowledge, but with pluck, a fine sense of honor and old-fashioned Integrity to begin his battle 'out in the world.' "Although hisefforts have been cro n ed with the most abundant success, none of it was ever gained by dishonorable means or through speculation which he has eschewed with a determination that has exemplified the strong will of the man. In all of his yean as one of the leading maufacturers of the country, not one complaint has come against him. from the ranks of labor. The men in his shops are his closest friends. They are well paid, fairly and generously treated and are satisfied. "There is another reason why John W. Bookwalter is well fitted for the presi dential nomination. No man in America has traveled more extensively abroad than he. He has kept in close touch with the nations and the governments of the earth. If elected to the office of chief executive of the nation he would bring to that office the ripe scholarship of a man of 63 who has been a close observer and deep student all of his life, the wide and valuable experience of a business man whose success has inspired many a younger man to renewed efforts to win in the race of life, and the fairness and the justice of the leader who has risen from' the ranks of the masses. "Does the Democratic party owe Mr. Bookwalter anything? You who are firm in demanding recognition for the Democrats who have been unyielding in their party fealty, answer this question Who does not know what it is to a Democrat in a state that is overwnelm ingly Republican, where there is little or no opportunito for Democraci!.. '.c tory and where Democrats are Demo crats because they are Democrats. Who can point to a year that John W, Book waiter has not come forward with purso, his pen an 1 his voice and fought for the triumph of the principles that he be" lieves right? "A pioneer tariff reformer, he hs also been a leader Anfighting for bimetallism. One of the most masterly works putilihh- ed on bimetallism is "If Not Silver, What?" issued by Mr. Bookwalter In 1896. Mr. Bookwalter'a success as a business man Is too pronounced lor any one to charge him with being visionary about these great economic questions. He would make a strong candidate be cause he is a good man one of wisdom, prudence and great executive ability. V if EXPERIENCE1 D 1, r t 1 . HUNTLEY,, BROTHERS 0A Athletic Goods.
