"FrO n consersItion with Others
believe that the South has been a

now doing for the South; and while
not wishing To make any unjust com

the only man with whose methods

cation of the South and West work

IF the balmy South does not realize
10 the full possibilities predicted for

The very richness OF the south ;

in going through his correspondence. He
also received a large number of callers
The only formal performance Of the day
was visit from q committee Of 25 mem
bers OF the Bryan Veteran Bimetallic Of
Lancaster county, who called to assure
him of their support.
Mr.. Wilson, the chairman, told Mr..
Bryan that the club included in it's
membership representatives of all
branches of the military and naval SER
vice Of the government during the civil
war. In his reply Mr.. Bryan reviewed
briefly his own experiences as a soldier
of which he said that while it was
brief, it was instructive. He also out
lined his views of the duty of the govern
ment toward the ex-soIdiers, assuring
them that he would not be willing to
receive the support of the soldiers if he
did not believe that their interests as
soldiers, as we'll as their interests as citi-
zens would be protected under Democra-

HOW THEY SELECT SENATORS
IN UTAH,

Chicago, September 2O.-A special to the
Tribune from Salt Lake, Utah, says:
While Gov. Wells and Secretary OF State
Hammong were in Idaho last night to
meet GOV. Roosevelt and escort him to
the city, Judge O.W. Powers of Salt Lake,
q Democrat, was appointed United States
Senator.
The appointment was made by Aquila
Nebeker, president OF the senate who is
acting governor, according to the consti-
tuition.
1t was signed little while before mid
night, at which time the train bearing
Gov. Wells was expected to cross the line
into U tab.
The last legislature was Democrat, al
though the state officers are Republicans.
There was a bitter fight for the sena-
torship between A. w. McCune Of salt
Lake and Congressman W. II. King. An
adjournment was taken without break
ing the deadlock. The seat has remained
vacant.
The Democrats discovered last night
they had the acting governor. MIR.
Nebeker consulted a lawyer. and was
bOiu tnab ne ndu power 70 make tne ap-
pointment. He accordingly. did so. The
state seal was locked up and could not be
obtained but Mr.. Neberker's legal ad-
visers maintain ed that his action was
valid anyway. The appointment was
drawn carefully in legal form signed and
witnessed. A formal acceptance win be
nled with the secretary OF state.
State Senator Nebeker said today that
he had not been officially notified that
Governor Wen was In Utah and until so
notified ne would institute all the reforms
that ought to be enforced under a Demo
cratic administration. Judge Powers,
the senatorial appointee, had the ap-
pointment signe by Nebeker as acting
governor, but no certidoate =had been Is
sued at the Office Of the Secretary OF State.
Nebeker has also deposed the chief OF
staff and the militia and made new APP
pointments. The appointments made 10y
Nebeker may require some official action
by Governor Wells when ne reaches the
city. A good many people look upon It az
huge political joke.
