       The organization of Henry democratic clubs in Falls county goes steadily on.  From Bell Falls to Otto and from Perry to Rosebud the friends of the strling young democratic warrior, who killed populism in the 7th congressional district in 1896 and has faithfully represented the district in congress ever since, democratic workers and voters are coming together and resolving to support their friend and representative and forever silence the slanderous charges that have been made against him for political effect.
