my experience will be of some service to my country, for I have shown that a young man without single corporation be- hind him can amount to something. But I do not say this in a boasting way, for whatever has come to me has not come be- cause of personal merit; it has simply come because 1 have stood for certain ideas and the people have been so fond of the ideas that they have taken me in order to get the truth.
 We have fought the campaign open and above board We have appealed to the conscience and to the judgment of the American people. Cur platform is So plain that every one who can read can under stand 1t. And 1t has been discussed so often that even if a person cannot read he has some idea in regard to it. The party has not lodged any issues It stands on the old questions as it stood, and it has added to its platform blanks to cover new iSsues."
 The body of the speech was devoted to a discussion of the trusts and the question of imperialism and the subject of pensions. On all these subjects the speech followed familiar lines. In conclusion, MT. Bryan said:
 Now, my friends, let me thank you again. I thank the soldiers and home guards, the continentals. the travelling men, you citizens all. My work is done, or almost done, for this campaign. I have tried as well as 1 could to defend the prin- ciples of the party to which I belong. Whether I am defeated or elected, I have done all I can to bring success to these principles. Whether I am to leave you in few months to be absent four years or whether I am to be among you, cannot in words express my gratitude for all you have done for me-"
 The last speech of the night and of the campaign was before the Good Shepherd Fair in the Schlitz Roof Garden at Omaha, and it did not begin until almost 12:30. MT. Bryan spoke of the importance of the cam paign just closed. He closed at 12:45 o'clock Tuesday morning, and when he left the platform after nineteen hours of consecu- tive work and an exceptionally long and arduous campaign his voice was still strong and clear and his physical condition first class.
 Following are the closing words of MT, Bryaus speech tonight:
 I've have submitted these questions we have done our best. Now is the time for the American people to act and all that I can ask of the American voter is to act tomorrow at the polls just as he would If he knew that the destiny of his nation was hanging upon a single vote for 1t is a terrible responsibility, my friends, it Is terrible responsibility, tt be citizen at a time like this, for the vote of a citizen is potent to determine the destiny of this nation, and by determin- ing the destiny of this nation the vote oi

The above Associated Press dispatch from Washington is evidently misleading. In the first place, Mir. Wickersham was not general superintendent of the Alabama Great Southern road, but superintendent. MT. Dodson, who is named as general su- perintendent, is general superintendent of the western division of the Southern Rail- way, with headquarters at Chattanooga. It is probable that the Alabama Great Southern has been placed in the western district of the Southern Railway. In any event the office of superintendent with of- flee in Birmingham will not be abolished, or at least that is the word given out by railroad men who are in position to know the requirements of the operating depart ment of that road.
