"Mr. Bryan has been in reciept of a multitude of letters since the election urging organization for the campaign of 1908. The rank and file of the party are ready to begin the fight; they only wait a plan of co operation. This plan has been under consideration for some weeks and is herewith i submitted. "Let each democrot pledge himself to attend all of the primaries of his party to be held betweea now and the next democratic national convention, unless unavoidably prevented, and to use bis inflence to secure a clear, honest and straightforward declaration of the party's position on every question upon which the voters of the part desire to speak.

"This plan does not involve the writing of platform in advance of the primaries; it does not rest upon the paramount importance of any one issue. It recognizes the right of the democratic voters to control the policy of the democrat party, and to de termine its position upon public questions. It also recognizes the importance of honesty and sincerity in politics. "This proposition will appeal to all who believe in the rule of the people to all who are willing that the majority shall govern in party management a ad in the nation. It does not mean that those who exert themselves to secure a good platform will be bound to support a bad platform that is a question which each must determine for himself but it does George Kimmcl, Dead or Alive.

It was learned that he was indebted to the Farmers' State bank to the extent of $3,250.00 with no other security than his personal note. He had discounted a itote for drawn by a man named Whistler, the proceeds being paid directly to Kimmel.

Now that the insurance case is about to come tp trial the name of George A. Kimmel will be on the lips of the thousands who knew him so well years and renewed effort will be made to learn more about his disappearance. The insurance company will make every effort to show that he is not dead. The holders of the policies will use equally strong effortsTto prove that the failure to locate him for such a long time is sufficient evidence that he is dead. Both parties to the suit are well provided with funds and as the amount involved is a considerable sum, the the fight will be a bitter one.

Finally the matter was forgotten, as all such affairs are, until six months ago the suit against the insurance company was brought.

"With $25,000 at stake, the insurance company then entered into the matter and began to look up Kim-mel's record, with results which have not hitherto been public property. The policies on Kimmel's life were taken out during the March previous to his disappearance, and were payable to Kimmel's sister, one of them being afterward assigned to the First Nationrl bank of Niles to secure debt which was owed the bank by the sister.
