ID. ii. Bates. Jr., prominent attor-
ney of New York, whose business has
called him to Nebraska during the past
three months, has made critical can
vass of the state. He says that "even
if it is Bryan's own state, this will
not, in my opinion, prevent Mckinley
from carrying it. OF course they are
proud of having a Nebraskan running
for the high Office of president of the
United States, but they know that the
present regime has been very good for
them, and they can see little reason for
preferring poverty and pride to pros
perity. Not that Bryan will not get
a big vote; | think he will, but the other
side will get more, that's all. / con-
slider Nebraska certainly safe, and be-
lieve that it will register with the
