For President ALFRED E. SMITH of New York .• For Vice-President JOSEPH L. ROBINSON of Arkansas The Voice of Bryan. —0— Jackson (iMiss.) News: •This is William Jennings Bryan speaking. It is in Madison Square Garden in 1924, with the \religion' • plank of the platform under debate— his \last word\ to a convention 01' his party. Mr. Bryan said: In this country it is not necessary to protect any church. I harve such confidence in the Catholic Church, which was for 1500 years My mothei church a's> well as yours, thalt I deny it needs political aid 1 . It was the Catholic Church that took our re- ligion from its founders and preserv- ed it—-it was the only custodian—for over 15 centuries. When it did this for Catholics it did it for me and every Protestant. The Catholic Church, with its legacy of martyr's blood and' with the .testimony of its long line ojf missionaries who went into every land, does not need a great party to protect it from a mil- lion Klansmen. The Jews do not need this reso- lution. They have Elijah, and they have also Elisha, who drew back the curtain and revealed upon the moun- tain tops an invisible host greater than a thousand ICu Klux IClans. The Catholic Church and the House of Israel have their great characters to-day who plead for respect for them and whose pleading is not in vain. I am not willing to bring discord into rhiy party. The Democratic party is united on all the economic issues. We have never been so united since I have known politics,: and nobody has had more reason than I to regret past discord. Nowi when we are united and face our political foes with dauntless courage- and with enthusiasm never excelled, these \people tell us that we must torn aside from this titanic task, divide bur party on. ai religious issue and cease to be a great political force. The Democratic party has never taken the side of one church against the other; the Democratic party must remain true to its traditions; it can- not surrended its rights- to exist; it cannot be false to the mission that it had in the days of Jefferson, to which it remained true in the days of Jaclkson and to which it was still loyal in the days of-Woodrow Wil- son. 1 My last objection is that I am not willing to divide the Christian- Church, because if it is destroyed there is nothing to take its place. We must stand together to fight our battles of religion against material- ism. There is only one who can- bring peace to the world, and that is the Prince of Peace—the One at Whose coming the angels sang, \On earth peace, good will toward men.\ Jew and Gentile, Catholic and Protestant stand for God-, on Whom all religion rests, and Protestant and Catholic stand for the Christ. Is it possible that now, when Jesus—the hope of the world-—is more needid than ever before—is it possible that at this- time, in this great land, - we are t o have religious warfare ? A :e yo.u willing to start a blaze that may cost innumerable lives, saoriiced on the altar of religious prejudice? I cannot believe it; God forbid; I call you back in the name of our party, I call you back in the name of tin. Son of God and Saviour of the world. Christians, atop fighting; let uu get together and save the world from the materialism that robs life of its spiritual values. Banish the \Hymns of Hate;\ our song must be \Blest be the tie that binds our heartjh in Christian love.\ We print this portion of Mr. Byran's notable speech on that mem- orable occasion, solely for the- rea- son that many of those Democrats who are now opposing the Demo- cratic nominee for 1 President are citing Mr. Bryan as the inspiration of their opposition, invoking his memory as counsel and guide in bolting the ticket. (Never was there a more eloquent and fervent denunciation of religious prejudice in politics than that which 'William Jennings Bryan delivered in Madison Square Garden. Never was there uttered a more im|pressive warning than was conveyed in his words on that occasion: \Divide our party on a religious issue and cease to be a great political' force.\ And it applies with greater significance and meaning in 1928 than it did in 1924. ' We commend to these misguided Democrats who profess adherence to the principles of the dead Demo- cratic leader and who now summon his spirit to sustain their mistaken course, a reading of Mr. Bryan's declaration, as above quoted. Those who have not read it need the en- lightenment it conveys; those who have need tq. be reminded- of its un- deniable truth. GOD'S WOR© STANDS:—The grass witherith, the -flower fadeth; tout the word of our God shall stand forever.Mfeaiah 40:8. The forty-fourth annual exhibition qf ithe only town fair in Jefferson county came to a close on Friday afternoon* of last week, and consider- ing that the weather was nibt suit- able for a fair, the event goes down in-history as- being one of the best shows ever~given by the society. The officers' of the society worked hard io make the affair a success and they reoedved the undivided support' of the people of Cape Vincent and vicinity in their efforts. The mam- moth showing in the various depart- ments—most of the entries being made by local people—is' an evidence ihat the people in' Cape Vincent and vicinity would like to see the fair continued. The Eagle* hopes that, the finances will be'such that the managers can see their way to hold' i fair in 1929. TUESDAY On the -opening day of the exhibi- tion^ as usual, mbst of the- day was given over t o the .arranging of the ixhibits' in the several departments. 1 rhe'only-department that- failed -to iome up to previous exhibits was the poultry department. The showing lere was small, hut why this was so ;he Eagle is unable to state, In all he years that the fair has been .unning we do hot believe there was iver a finer display in the fruit and /eg'-etable departments than this /ear. The showing Drought florth luite a bit -of favorable comment ?ancy work—well i t was a monster Stowing, and it is needless for us tc ;ay any more. The ladies visiting •;he department were loud in then )raise of the exhibit. Many said ii was far better than that at the coun- ty fair. WEDNESDAY The second day of the exposition was ushered in with a downpour of •ain, which continued the greater portion of the forenoon. -This' put the grounds in such condition that none of the advertised sports could '•>e pulled off, so the managers de- cided to continue the fair on Friday. THURSDAY The weather on Thursday was 2lear, but there was a stiff west wind blowing all day, which -made it- .•ather dilsag'reeable on the grounds. L'he attendance, however was good : about 1,200 ^people- paying admiss- ions. Two races were scheduled flor the ifter-noon, the 2:30 pace, for a purse )f $165.00, and the\ free-for-all for a purs'e of $198.00. In the first jvent there were four starter's and in the second three. Both race? •were very exciting.

LaFargeville scored one run in the second inning and held this 1 slim lead until the fifth when the locals bunched two hits and a sacrifice to even the count. For the remainder Of the game both teams played air-, tight ball and neither side were able to get within scoring distance. At the beginning of the 17'th in- ning LaFargeville proposed that the game be halted and the money split up. The crowd, however, howled down' that proposal and the players continued until the first half of the 18th inning had been played. When Cape Vincent went to bat the La- Fargeville players refused to take the field again, thus forfeiting the game t o the local's- by a score of 2-1. This game equals the record set by the Harrisville Stars' and the Manhattan Giants at the fair a few years ago. •The score: Cape Vincent (2) AS. R. H. PO. E.

FRIDAY The weather the last day was rather chilly, but not what could be jailed undornfortable. There was a ^ood attendance.,and everyone seem- id to enjoy themselves. Baseball and horse racing as usual were the attractions. Deferiet and Cape Vin- cent crossed bats in an exciting game, which was won by the locals by a score of 1-0. The game was a pitchers battle from start to finish a-nd was one of the fastest games played on the l'ocal diamond this season. The races were the classi- aed race, the 2:25 class, and a run- ning race. These events were all hotly congested and furnished much amusement for the spectators.

WATERTOWN, N. Y. Republican Editor Assails G. O, P. In Reply to Letter Asking Support WASHINGTON.—Th,e attitude of the intelligent Western farmer who hus studied the causes ot his pres- ent predicament, and who realizes what a continuance -of the Coolidge policies would mean to him, is strik- ingly set forth In a letter received by Herbert N. Strause, of the Repub- lican Business Men, Inc., from Willis A. Wells,. Republican editor of the Webster (S. Dak.) Journal. The South Dakota editor had been asked by _Mr. Strause to support Her- bert Hoover and to send a reply which could be oublished. Here is the reply: \You request that I join the Repub- lican Business Men, Inc., of your city, in promoting .he election of Mr. Hoo- ver i,pon the sole ground that 'he will carry out the Coolidge policies.' Your plea leaves me as cold as the ice fields of a polar sea. \As a Republican I enthusiastically decline to do any such fool thing. I am for Hoover just about as far as you can throw our party elephant by the pin feathers with your arm broken in four p'nc^i \Out u ii. \\'<-,i. where men are _•-- \ •• 11' 1 \•..- eyebrows and the farm work begins at sunrise, we are so opposed.Jo a continuance of. the Coolidge policies that if I wrote you what I think it -wouldn't look good in print, and so I shall modify my ex- pressions. \Under the Goolidge policies, which -Mr. Hoover is pledged to continue, we have had more farm bankruptcy and more rural distress than has existed since our pioneers came West in cov- ered wagons and conquered the prairies, \You really have no realization of what these CooHdge policies, have done to a great' and flourishing agri- cultural section of the country. \Farm landB have depreciated $30,- 000*000,000 in value. Fifty thousand business men have gone broke. Four thousand rural banks have failed. \While Goolidge was President, Congress, representing the people, passed farm relief hills twice and twice the man higher up vetoed them. That is the paramount Coolidge pol- icy. We have been fooled twice.

HOME OF LESTER Was 114 Years Old Last Friday ' To the thunder of cannion and the splendor 'of dawn there came, 114 years ago last Friday morning, the 'words of \The Star Spangled Ban- ner,\ a paean of .tJaani-fesgivihg from the pen of Francis! Scott '\ ICey, a young Baltimore lawyer. His in- spiration was the.sight of -the Aim.-'' erican flag still waving over' Port McH-enry after the British had bom- barded it for 24 hours. Parti of the words to the song which has .come to be the national ainthem were written on the back of an envelope and the verses* were finished while tks writer was; being rowed ashore from an- enemy ship. A popular melody, \Anacreon in Heaven,\ fitted the meter and that is the music which has companioned the words down the years. The British failure to take Fort MIoHenry meant their failure to take Baltimore. IC&y'sf song proved to be a timely avenue for the expression of rejoicing of the citizens and so \The Star Spangled Banner\ had its' first printing on hand bills for distrihu- ittion in Baltimore .and it was im- mediately sung in homes, at mass meetings and in theaters. Other parts of the country adopted it, al- though it is recognized as difficult of rendition for untrained voices, and to-day i t is honored as the na- tional anthem and is given clue cere- mony by the army and navy. •Francisi Scott' Key was wiuh -the' British fleet at the bombardment of Baltimore because he was endeavor- ing to secure the release of a friend, Dr. William Beans, TJ.\5--' -i-i.\i'jiro Md., who haxl baen seized and held by the British because he had captured some British marauders:. Key arrived unchallenged in the midst of prapar'ation-s for the bombardment and since he had seen enough to possess valuable informa- tion for the shore batteries' he was detained with Dr. Beans on a small auxiliary craft. . Permitted the free- dom of the deck, the tiwo Americans watched the magnificent spectacle of the bombardment for long hours. Key's achievement has been given recognition and there are monuments -to him in Baltimore, SanFrancisco and elsewhere. This! year, the Brook-sJ3r.igh)t Foundaftion for the promotion of international under- standing through education is in- stituting a competition for a new na- tional anthem; hult no matter wWat verse and melody may be chosen, it is certain that \The Star Spangled Banner\ has earned an enduring place in: the history of the na'ti'on.
