Harvest in County Well Under Way—Around Bemidji Yield Prodigious. SAYS PARTY SHOULD BE PURIFIED Harvesting the crops in the vicinity of Bemidji has been in progress for several days. The barley is about all cut, and oats are now being harvested. Joseph Wagner yesterday finished cutting the oats on the county poor farm. There wasa tield of fifteen acres. Joe was| compelled to set the sickle on the binder as high as it would go, leaving stubble at least a foot high, and still making a fine large bundle for the machine. He claims that this field contains the finest oa's he has seen in this part of the country and estimates the yield will thrash out an aver- age of fifty bushels to the acre. The wh-at on the farm is also coming along nicely. Mr, Wagner will also cut the grain on Dr. Blakeslee’s farm. There are ten acres of barley and thirty acres of oats, all of which is in excellent condition. DECLARES ORGANIZATION MUST GET RID OF SUCH MEN AS ROGER SULLIVAN. Paris, Aug. 14—Willlam J. Bryan Sas given out a statement concerning *®e controversy respecting the Illinois Democratic national committeeman. The controversy has grown out of Mr. Bryan's letter demanding the resigna- tion of National Committeeman Roger Sulltvan, to which demand Mr. Sulli- van returned a prompt refusal and stated that Mr. Bryan had been mis- Informed respecting the situation by M. F. Dunlap. Mr. Bryan's rejoinder says that no one but himself is responsible for the information contained in his letter and that he had intended to ask Mr. Sullivan to resign before he should see Mr. Dunlap. Mr. Bryan added: “I entered into this contest because I believed that Roger Sullivan and John Hopkins had deliberately robbed the Democrats of Illinois of their po- litical rights and I still believe so. To secure political power by force or by fraud ought to be as disgraceful in the eyes of the public as to secure money by force or fraud. I cannot conceive of any plausible defense which Mr. Sullivan can make for remaining on the national committee. If that body is unable to rid itself of the leadership of men like Sullivan, who seek to con- trol the party organization in order to advance their corporate interests, it might as well dissolve. While I was anxious to give Sullivan a chance to retire without a fight it is probably Just as well that he refused, for if we must fight to purify the party organ- ization the sooner it begins the bet- ter.” MR. SULLIVAN REPLIES. 8ays There Is No Truth in Bryan's Latest Utterances. Chicago, Aug. 14.—National Commit- teeman Sullivan, when interviewed in regard to Mr. Bryan’s latest utter- ances, declared there was no truth in them. “Mr. Bryan got all of his informa- tion from Mr. Dunlap and is doing what Mr. Dunlap wants him to do. All the information he has about the Illinois situation he has received from Dunlap and Thompson. He is fighting their battles—battles that they cannot fight for themselves. His statement 18 not true as to control of the state convention two years ago, as to the national committee or as to the com- mittee on credentials. Mr. Bryan is not bigger than the entire Democratic party.” Mr. Sullivan referred to a letter which he said Mr. Bryan had written to Congressman Caldwell of the Springfield district, in which letter he said Mr. Bryan admitted that he had recelved all of his information from Dunlap. That letter, said Mr. Sulli- van, was proof of his assertions. James J. Hill at the Fair. One of the great events of the Minnesota state fair will be the speeci: by James J.

New York, Aug. 14.—John A. Henne- berry, chief clerk in District Attorney Jerome'’s office and the manager of Mr. Jerome’s last campaign, gave it out as his belief that Mr. Jerome would accept the nomination for gov- ernor on the Democratic ticket if there was a strong demand for his nomination. Mr. Henneberry shortly after. he had arrived in town from Baratoga, where he had been spend- ing his vacation, said: “In the last few days there has ap- peared in various parts of the state a strong sentiment in favor of Mr. Je- rome as a candidate of the Demo- cratic convention. Several men prom- inent in the Democratic party have communicated with Mr. Jerome re- cently and urged him to consider the nomination, I have not seen Mr. Je- rome in several days, but I am satis- fled that if there is a demand for him he will make the run for governor on the Democratic ticket.

Tribune BELIEVES FATHER SUICIDED) (BERALS ARE TURNED DOWH ! RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT’S AGRAR. IAN POLICY APPRCVED BY l ZEMSTVO CLECTIONS. 8t. Petersburg, Aug. 14.—The gov- ernment attaches much importance to the defeai of the Constitutional Demo- crats in the zemstvo elections now un- der way, For years the provincial zemstvos have heen the centers of the Liberal movement and practically all the Constitutional Democratic leaders have been prominent in zemstvo work. ' Now, as candidates for re-election, they are going down to defeat. M. Kakoshkene, next to M. Roditcheff the most brilliant of the Constitutional Democratic orators in the outlawed parliament, has been defeated by Count Sheremetieff, the notorious re- actionary, and two Constitutional Dem- ocrats were defeated at Samara. While these results certainly indicate a reaction of sentiment against the advance in the programme of Consti- tutional Democrats it should also be pointed out that the nobility and land- ed proprietors have.the dominant in- fluence in zemstyo elections and the defeat of the Constitutional Democrats probably represents more their hos- tility to the principle of the Forced Expropriation of Land, i to which the Constitutional Demo- crats are committed, than enmity to-] ward the purely political part of thclr| programme.
