Col. A1 S'waim, in a private letter
to a Sixth district friend, has express
ed the earnest hope that N. E. Kendall
will bo elected congressman, and re
grets his inability to be at home and
vote for him. In part, Col. Swalm
says:
"I especially regret that I am barred
by absence from voting for 'Nate'
Kendall for congressman. It has been
my pleasure to know him for a long
day baclt, and I have never found him
lacking in anything needed to mark
him as a real man, a thorough patriot,
and a Republican of tie kind that
carry their own general commenda
tion. I have watched his career in all
these years, and it has been one of
strong development, and keenly ap
preciative of all that is pregnant in
our public life. Years ago I heard
'Nate' speak to a small gathering of
old soldiers in an informal way— just
a heart to heart talk when nothing
of the sort was expected. It was in
Des Moines and on the close of the
Sixth district caucus, when a state
convention was held in March, or ear
ly in April. He held no position then,
but his talk to a bunch of us—coming
from the younger line of men,-was to
me and to the comrades about me,
very touching and impressive. His was
a keen comprehension of what the
men of the blue had done-,—with never
a word of rancor, but just plain appre
ciation of great results following the
effort of plain men doing their duty,
away back yonder in those war days.
"I. have never forgotten it, and I
would that all those of whom I may
have the privilege to call comrades
ago. And that, for one of manv
worthy things, I regret that I cannot
be at home and cast my vote for him.
He stands for that, which I am con
vinced more than ever, is for the best
interests of the whole country, the
Intelligent policy of the national Re
publican party, by which and through
which the sreat Interests of the whole
country will be safely conveyed into
the peaceful waters of general and
common prosperity. Mr. Kendall's ca

SALOONS SHUT
BY BILL! SUNDAY
JACKSONVILLE, ILL, THIRST PAR­

PEL CLEANUP.
The greatest gospel cleanup Jack
sonville has ever seen is the verdict of
the Illinois city of Rev. William A.
Sunday's revival, which closed last
night. Saloons are shut up and many
conversions were made. From Jack

the recent meetings:
"Billy" Sunday the baseball evange

last night. In two free will offerings
he received $7,279. The people started
to take the third offering when the
evangelist entered the tabernacle and
stopped the tellers. Finally the evening
offering, at the suggestion of the evan
gelist, was given to a hospital.
Sunday has caused 2,542 professions
of conversion, and 20,000 people heard
him today. Everv saloon in Jackson
viile has closed its doors, and fifteen
saloon proprietors are enjoying liberty
through the suffranee of the Jjidge of

spending the last day of the campaign
in northeastern Kansas, delivering
speeches on his way home on a special
train to Lincoln to vote. His first talk
was made at Kansas City, Kas., short

Leavenworth, Kas., Nov., 2.—Before
a crowd said to be otic of the largest
ever assembled ii\ this city, Bryan this
morning continued his denunciation
of the Republican leaders' action in
denying the support of the trust mag
natefe and in refusing to allow public
inspection of its books. His remarks
relative to the connection of

claim of the support of l^bor leaders.

New York, Nov. 2.—One of the most
important allegations in connection
with the charge o£ misappropriation
contained in the indictment against
Charles W. Morse and A. H. Curtis
was thrown out of court today.
The misappropriation allegation
was made in connection with the hun
dred thousand dollar note given by
Galvin Austin. Austin claimed Morse
had the note discounted and used the
proceeds without his consent. It is
understood the charge was thrown
out on the ground that the National
Bank of North America was not in
any way damaged by the transaction.

TO CLOSE CAMPAIGN
WITH A LOVE FEAST
SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS MADE
TO SECURE NOTED SPEAKER OF
DE8 MOINES—FT. MADISON AT­
TORNEY A BRILLIANT ORATOR.
The Republican campaign will close
tonight at' the Armory on North Mar
ket street with addresses by Hon.
George L. Dobson, ex-secretary of
stale and Hon. Joe R. Frailey who
will speak in.behalf of Hon. N. E. Ken
dall. candidate for congress ..from the
sixth district and upon the issues con
fronting the voters in this campaign.
The labor committee of Des Moines
agreed to release Mr. Dobson from an
engagement to speak for t.hem to
night, so he could close the campaign
in this city in the interests of Mr.
Kendall.
Previous to the speaking tonight,
the Fifty-fourth regiment band-and the
renowned Colemans will give an en
tertainment at the Armory. The mus
ical program of the Colemans, Ray
mond and Inez, will begin at 7:30
o'clock, and if the voters of Ottunjwa
have not yet heard these talented
musicians, they should be present.

To Be a Love Feast.
The meeting tonight will close a
strenuous campaign in Wapello coun
ty, waged along legitimate lines, and
the attendance tonight will doubtless
break all previous records. Both
speakers are well enough known in
Wapello county to make comment un
necessary. Mr. Dobson spoke in the
City park upon Taft day, September
25, and showed in that speech a re
markable knowledge on the tariff. His
address tonight will be along similar
lines, with added arguments. Mr.
Frailey is a young attorney of Ft. Mad
ison, who has already made two
speeches in the county during the past
week. His eloquence, forceful de
livery and concise arguments make
his words good to listen to.
Every voter in the city of Ottumwa
and surrounding county should hear
these two brilliant speakers tonight
in the Armory. The doors will open
at 7 o'clock, and ushers will be present
to provide all with seats. The speak
ing proper wiil begin at 8 o'clock.

bombarded. There are 200.000 men
whose votes will be influenced by this
matter.
"If my good friend, Mr. Bryan, had
been so assailed I should have taken
the same stand against theology dic

live In the same country with a man
who can assemble audiences to listen
with delight to such a lecture as "The
Prince of Peace."
"But on the other hand, and assail

another man of extraordinary ability
and brain. But he is not considered
orthodox. Neither was Paul orthodox.
He was considered the heretic of his

""To the Unitarian controversy of a
bygone day we owe the humanizing
of God. This was what made it nec
essary to rewrite the constitution and
strike the shackles fTom a million
slaves. Remember it was the 'ortho
doxy' of the day that stood out against
the black man. As long as men be

some of us had little chance.
"Charles Sumner, who was beaten
in the United States senate by a bully

form through life, was found in a Unl

fuse to honor the good he did? Frank
lin, Joseph Priestly, Thomas Jefferson.
Robert Shaw, all these had incomplete
ideas of the trinity. The statesmanship
of the 60's grew out of the fact that
people came to believe that the 'un
der dog' was a human being. This is
a theology man may trust. Shall we
tear the hymns of Oliver Wendell

they were not considered sound?
Shall we resist the influences of Em

So said the Rev. Frank Gunsaulus,
president of Armour institute and pas

morning in speaking of the attempt to
make political capital out of Mr.
Taft's religion. He did more than
condemn Lhe bigotry of the attempt
and its evil possibilities for the fu

fended in no uncertain terms the es
sential tenets of the religion of the
presidential candidate.
