Lebanon, Or, July 15. National
Committeeman Milton A. MlUer In an
Interview rated that the Denver con

"I wae a member of the Chicago oon

canned both of them.
"At tho conoluHlon of Mr. Bryan'a
Jreat speech of 18118 the cheering lasted
or 10 inlnutea, which broke all record
up to that time, and 1 hardly expectea
to live to see anything equal to ii. nut
at the Denver oonventlon the mere
mention of Bryan's name evoked a
demonstration that lasted one hour and
thirty minutes, the applause coming
from some of the most prominent men
and women of the oountry genuine
enthusiasm for a great statesman, a
great cause, the oause of humanity.

"After this came the adoption of the

"Mr. Dunn of Nebraska preaented the
name of Air. Hryan . in a very aDie
speech, of which I have the following
excerpt:
" 'we have met to plan the campaign
and to commission the commander un
der whom the manses will enlist. We
are not here In rfHponse to the voice
of expediency; neither political bosses
nor corporate maulers sent us hero.
We are here at tho summons of the
rank and file of that political organiza
tion which Is the special defender of
the rlKhts of the common people.
" "We are here representing all that
Is best In the traditions or our pariy:
we feel again the Spirit that animated
the Demo' iacy In the days of Jefferson
and Jackson.
" The voters have spoken, and we
assemble to give expression of their
will. Their voice for the third time
calls Nebraska's favorite aon to be
the standard bearer of his party In this
gUartfto contest.
7' 'blnoe time began no grander trib
ute was ever paid to any mail by a
free people. He Is reoognlied today
aa thu most representative citizen of
the nation, the peer or any living man.
" 'Kr lends and foes have learned that
he was shaped In that heroic mold In
which the world's great patriots, states
men and leaders have been cast.
" 'First nominated when ten years
younger than any other presidential
candidate ever chosen by a prominent
party; living In a state BOO miles
farther west than that In which any
president has ever lived, he has grown
In t-he affeels of the people as the
years have passed.
" 'Speaking end writing freely on all
subjects, his heart has had no secrets
and his friends have Increased In num
bers nnrt In confidence.
" 'Without an organization to urge
his claims; without a campaign fund
to circulate literature In his behalf;
without patronage to bribe a single
voter; without a predatory corporation
to coerce its employes Into his support;
without a subsidized newspaper to In
fluence the public mind: he lias won a
BlKnal victory at the primaries and has
becom the free choice of the militant
Democracy of the nation.
" Forming in one unbroken phalanx,
extending from Massachusetts to Cali
fornia, and from Michigan to the ever
glades, the yeomanry of the party have
volunteered their services to make him
the party candidate; and they will not
lay down their anna until they have
made him the nation a chief executive.
'Nebraska's Democracy which saw
In him, when a young man, the signs
of promise, place in nomination as
the standard bearer of our party the
man wno, in the thrilling (lays or at)

crusaders or old. Nebraska presents
his name because Nebraska claims his
dwelling place, and proudly enrolls him
among Tier citizen; but his horns Is In
tho hearts of tho people.

and the mandate of the Democraoy of
the nation, when I offer the name of
America s great commoner, Nebraska a

Jennings Bryan.
At the clone of this great speech
which was delivered long after mid'
night, 11,000 people cheered for one
nour and Id minutes, creating iue
cheering record for the seoond time
In 1J hours. Oray-halred men and wo
men yelled themselves hoarse), waved
banners and handkerchiefs and carried
on demonstrations never before wit
nessed on any former occasion.
Confident of Victory.
We enter upon this campaign con
fident of victory, armed with a right
eous cause, with the greatest states
man of the twentieth century as our
candidate. We can not fall. Though
twice defeated for president, he has
convinced the world that he Is right
In his Judgment of governmental af
fairs.
'Our platform Is strong, clear and
decisive. It means what it says and
says what It means no equivocation
It meets every issue squarely, it was
a people's convention from start to fin
ish, and It will be a people's cam
paign, and I am certain that New
York will be In the Democratic column.
Whfn New York cast her 78 votes for
Bryan the greatest enthusiasm perme
ated the entire audience.

"After the adoption of the platform
John Mitchell, the labor leadVjr. who
sat with the Illinois delegation, com
menting on tho platform, said It was
all they had expected, and hj pledged
his earnest support to the ticket, de
claring that Illinois would be for
Bryan.
The nomination of Kern makes In
diana absolutely certain. Kern was
the most logical candidate of all those
proposed for the vice-presidency. He

Ohio and Oreg-on.
"Regarding Ohio, the delegates from
that state said It was" sure to be num
bered among the Democratic states this
fall Decause of the dissatisfaction and
dlBCord among the Republican brethren.
It will be remembered In the landslide
of 1892 wo had one electoral vote from
that state and came within a few of
securing the entire electoral vote on
the Issues Involved In the campaign.
"There ought to be no doubt as to
where Oregon stands. I firmly believe
as sure as election day comes that
Oregon will cast her vote for Hryan
and Kern. Our people are certainly in
favor of the election of senators by
direct vote of the people, they have so
expressed themselves by an overwhelm

With the cool, watery witm spl&ah-

with tho hysterical cries of gentle
maidens under water for the first time
slnoe the last time they triad to learn
to swim, the youth of today has found

The past week many boys have lived
aa much in water as out. Ilttle chaps
would eet up early In the morning to
get their chores done that they might
go in Hwimmin'. Sometimes they vajn.j
home at noon for luncheon or dinner
according to what part of town their
homos were situated. As often they
could not hpare the time.
In the afternoon da gang would
swim about In the water, like bo
many fiah. They - would leap on loyri
and take a long cruise around the
world from tho bank to Ross Island.
They would Jump out to prance around
In the sand and sun to dry their backs
and give them an extra brown turn.
When done to a crisp they would
wend their hungTy ways homeward,
swallow dinner or supper quickly,
dreaming the while of the delights of I and amid yells of delight a fire wen Id

hotly blistered back. Then when dad i would alternately wallow In the dclic-
and ma were not looking they would
sneak off down the corner In answer
to a surreptitious whistle and join "the

off to the water. Hut this time the
sport was preceded by a solemn cere-'

by the delicious fire. And late at
night, tired but happy, they would
crawl 'out, dress by the smouldering
fire and sneak hozne to receive the
merited scolding. But what would they
care? They had had the day of their
lives.
And meanwhile a totally different
crowd Is enjoying the water In a little
more moderate fashion all along the
river. At The Oaks and at Dundy's
crowds of boys, Ktrls, men and women
fill the tanks. They swarm over the
sidewalks, they vanish down the chutes
to bob up again a half block away; they
dive Into tne water, frontward, side
ward and backward; they stand on
cross bars and rock each other off;
they climb the ladders and cling to the
rungs with slippery toes; they puddle,
and swish and swash and fairly bubble
with delight, and for once water seems
actually Intoxicating.
Everyone knows everyone else. There
are merry Jests thrown back and forth

stood by the Interests. The one great
reform that the people are demanding
is the election of senators by direct
vote of the people.
"Five times it has been Indorsed
by the house of representatives; It
has been indorsed by nearly t'V'o
thlrds of the .slates In the union;- yet,
in the face of all this, this great re
form was rejected bv the Republican
national convention.
challenges given and taken and rival
swimmers make the distance from

of strangers who are afraid to get
their heads wet. Timid beginners are)

objects seem possessed of exuberanc
of life and entering Into the fun the
barrels toss and turn their riders Into
the waves and then dart off with a
wooden laugh to leave them flounder

Oh, summer Is a merry time and,
when you have once yielded to the
call of the water It Is hard to remem
ber how good the land la.
"The Republican party In convention
assembled bent a retreat upon the great
reforms that the people are demanding
Bt the present time. For instance, on
the valuation of railroads as offered by
IjaFollette the plank was defeated by
a vote Of 917 to 63, vet President Roose
velt has advocated this very proposition.
"The labor Interests were Ignored In
the Republican platform, the Inheri
tance tax waa rejected and the income
tax met the same fate. All these great
reforms were advocated by President
Roosevelt.
"The Democratic platform declares
for a law guaranteeing bank deposits
and a divorce of our currency system
from Wall street. Upon this one Issue
we can carry Oregon. People have not
forgotten what happened last fall. This
Republican party has so chained us to
Wall street that any time a Wall street
Kambler falls It affects the entire country.
"The Republican party claims credit
for every lick struck by honest labor,
and all the blesslngB showered upon us
by an almighty Qod, but they must an

It must stand up before 80.000,000 peo

"It must answer to the American peo

of the great reforms that the people are
clamoring for.

"I admire a miner's wealth. It is clean.
There is neither blood nor tears on it. It is
acquired away from the scheming and cut
throat competition that characterizes ordinary
ventures, where the success of one man often
means the disaster and downfall of some other
man, perhaps a number of men. Nobody has
been pinched; nobody has been wrongfed. The
miner who digs a fortune out of the ground
has the satisfaction of knowing that he hasn't
robbed a soul, even though he becomes a
thousand times a millionaire. Then, too,
there is another factor to take into considera
tion. The man who makes a fortune on the
board of trade or the stock exchange or in
. building up a gigantic business house, adds
nothing to the world's store af available
wealth. The world, in other words, is no rich
er because he is richer. He is richer rather be
cause some one is poorer. The miner, on the
other hand, whether he digs out $10 or $100,
000, adds tlrat much to the world's wealth, and
with the added wealth he contributes just that
much to the possible amount of the world's
comforts and pleasures."
What a Banker Said About Invest
ing in Mining Stocks
"Now, if you have $500 to put into some
thing in the money-making line, don't look for
a dividend-paying stock and I will tell you
why: A stock that is already paying any
where from 1 to 2 per cent monthly is doing
about all that can be expected of it. But, my
Capt. H. D. Williams, Expert Mining
Engineer, Says:
"I would sav that, from all indications,
THE POTICIE MINING COMPANY will
have one of the largest producing mines in this
already famous district of bonanza properties.
The reputation of the Coeiir d'Alene is world
wide and there has been no record of failure
wherever the mines have been conservative -
dear friend, vou can't expect to live in luxury : ar)d intelligently prospected and developed
on an income from a capital of $500. What
you must do with your $500 is something like
this: Find a good mining proposition, then
jump in with your $500 and buy a lot of stock
at cheap figures, and before dividends are even
thought of. Then in a little while you will
find that your stock is worth a good deal
more than $500. If you have used good com
mon sense in the selection of a company, your
stock should be worth par when dividends
become a regular feature, and as you probably
fought your stock at 10 cents on the dollar,
your original capital of $500 has now grown
to $5,000. And don't say there is no such
thing as a 'good speculation, because there
are any number of them lying about on every
hand, actually begging for financial support."
Fhe big mines of this district seem to be grow
ing larger and it appears to be only a question
of the number of men available in mining and
milling facilities to make the production of
these mines reach any amount desired. There
has been a remarkable increase in value since
1884, starting with the production of $258,375
in gold, silver and lead, until 1887, when it hit
the million-JJollar point, and from then grad
ually increased, until 1903, when it readied a
production of over $11,000,000 and from
then on to the present time, when the official
figures of the state of Idaho show the enor
mous production of $19,560,32 giving a
grand total up to that time of $146.2831361.
This country is certainly the miners' paradise.
I have visited nearly all the mining centers in
the world, and in no other place have I seen
the certainty of success so clearly outlined in
legitimate mining enterprises."
REASONS WHY MINING COMPANIES
SELL STOCK
The question is often asked why mining companies are
organized and why they offer stock on the market for sale;
why local parties do not take up all the mining enterprises.
If people would stop to consider for a moment, we think
there would be no occasion for questions- of that kind.
It takes money to open up mining enterprises, and the
miners, in organizing companies, are doing just what the
railroads, large industrial enterprises, including iron, steel,
coal and others, in the east, do simply arranging their af
fairs so that small interests can be conveyed to separate
individuals, and in that way secure the necessary capital to
carry on the business of the company.
Stocks are offered to general investors because no one
individual has sufficient capital to successfully operate the
property, however valuable the property may be. The Brit
ish government went to New York City to raise $5,000,000.
These bonds are a good investment, yet the government
went abroad. The bonds of a prosperous town or city may
be gilt-edged, yet they are placed to outside money markets.
The Pennsylvania railroad is an excellent investment, yet
not one fifth of its stock is owned in Pennsylvania. The
N'ew York Central & Hudson River railroad securities are
as stable as government bond'', yet an inventory of the es
tate of Cornelius Yanderbilt showed that he owned less than
one fiftieth of its stock.
Standard Oil company stock has sold as high as $800 per
share on the curb. It is not even listed security, yet it has
paid as high as per cent dividends per year.
