MR.. BRYAN ON RESULTS.
What He Says of the Outcome Of
Tuesdays Election.

LINCOLN-W. ]. Bryan Wednesday
night gave out an extended state
ment concerning Tuesdays election,
which is intended to serve as his
comment on the result, and as an
answer to reports connecting him with
a movement looking to the formation
of a new party. Mr.. Bryan said he
would not attempt to deny all the
reports circulated as to his future po-
litical action, but would let his state
ment serve to explain his position.
He says:
The democratic party has met
with an overwhelming defeat in the
national election. AS yet the returns
are not sufficiently complete to permit
analysis, as it is impossible to say
whether the result is due to an ac-
tual increase in the number of repub-
lican votes, or to a falling off in the
democratic vote. The defeat of Judge
Parker should not be considered a per-
sonal one. He did as we'll as no
could under the circumstances; ho
was the victim of unfavorable con-
ditions and a mistaken party policy.
He grew in popularity as the cam
paign progressed and expressed him
self more and more strongly upon the
trust question, but could not over
come the heavy odds against him"

FAIRBANKS ON TIE RESULT.
1t Was the Righteous Judgment of the
People.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Senator
Charles w. Fairbanks, vice president
elect, yesterday received a food OF
kilograms. He received many callers
during the morning and afternoon.
Speaking of the result of the election,
he said:
1T is notable victory-one of the
greatest victories that has been
achieved in American politics. 1t is q
victory for the principles of the re-
publican party and for the magnificent
administration of Roosevelt as presi-
dent. The American people are %
great people and when they think upon
gerat political questions, their judg-
ments are righteous altogether But
we should all remember that the de-
bate has closed, the verdict has been
rendered. and we will now settle lack
to our duties as citizers of this ereat
republic and to our duties to one an
ether"
The senator did not soy today what
would be his course in regard to the
censorship which he now hold He
will resign it formally, but how he
was not today ready to announce.

WISCONSIN,.

MILWAUKEE-The result of the
election in Wisconsin shows that
Roosevelt ran ahead of every ticket
and carried the state oy a plurality
estimated at between 10000 and U.s.
900; that Governor LaFollette has
been reelected by plurality of about
$4,000 and that the congressional
complexion remains unchanged from
two years ago. The legislature, which
is to elect a United States senator to
succeed Joseph " Quarles, is largely
republican and the question of
whether Wisconsin shall have pri-
mary election law has carried by a
safe majority. One of the surprises in
the election was the big increase in
the vote of the social democratic
party Four years ago that party poll
ed 4,45S votes in Milwaukee county;
two years ago 10,704, and in this cleo
ton 1920. The social democrats
elected four assemblymen and one
senator to the legislature.

iican Column.

NEW IORK-With the election re-
turns still incomplete, the plurality of
the president in the nation, according
to all indications will exceed 100000
the greatest plurality ever given an
American candidate. The nearest APP
p7oach to this vote was in 1896, when
Mckinley received plurality approXi-
mating 100000, and in 1872, when
Grant received 62O,991 plurality. The
interest centers in Missouri and Mary
land. Late returns Indicate that the
former state is in the republican col
umn so far as presidential electors
are concerned, but that Joseph w.
Folk the democratic candidate has
been elected governor. The republi-
cans elect eight of the sixteen con-
gressmen. In Maryland the president
ial vote will probably be cast for
President Roosevelt. Late returns
indicate that Thomas a. Smith (dem)
has been elected to congress in the
First district by $50 plurality. Con
gresham Jackson of this district,

trick ballots and fraud and says he
will contest the election. In the other
states 1t is simply question of plur-
alties.
The "solid south" was broken by
the probable detection OF Missouri

having thirteen states in the demo-
cratic column. Tho figures show but
twelve states, with 1873 votes for

would reach 4S5,O00. Next came Him

proximately 225,OO0 votes more than
did Judge Parker. The New York City
returns are still incomplete but the
amazement over the result has not
subsidized. Judge Parker carried great
er New York by over 41,000.
In general the situation is chiefly in
teresting today because the ticket in
many of the states were cut. Presi-
uent Roosevelt ran ahead of his ticket
in many localities, notably in Massa
chusetts, where he secured a plur
atty of $4,000, while the republican
candidate for governor was defeated
by 5000. In that state the Legislature

COLORADO.

DENVER-Estima' es at midnight
from scattering AMI incomplete re-
turns indicate a plurality of over TO-
600 for Roosevelt in Colorado. The
result as to congressman and state
officers is in doubt on account of the
large number of scratched ballots that
have not been counted. In 1870 pre-
cincts outside OF Denver Peabody re-
ceived 10,OG8 votes and Adams 49,
035, with Gigs scratched ballots un-
counted The scratched ballots in
the entire state are estimated at over
10000. Scratched ballots in Denver

OFFERS TO END WAR.
Japs UnofficialIy Approaches Russia
With Negotiations for Peace.


LONDON-Japan unofficially has
made representations to Russia look
ing to peace. This action has resulted
in failure, and such representations,
even privately, are not likely to be re-
peated by Japan. Although the sug-
gestion of a pacific settlement was
made unofflcially, it actually had be-
hind it all the weight of an offer by
the Japanese government. 1t was made
direct to Russia. No power acted as
intermediary.
The proposition was put forward
tentatively and unofFicially, so that the
Japanese government would be in a
position to defy any report that it was
suing for peace. The failure of these
direct negotiations, however resulted
in bringing intervention within a
measurable distance.

PRESIDENT IS coNeRAruLATED
Messages Come so Fast that They
Cannot Be Answered.


WASHINGTON--President Roose-
welt was overwhelmed with congratu-
ations today They were presented by
many people in person and were re-
ceived by mail and by telegraph from
every state and from almost every city
in the country. Thousands of tele-
grams already have been received and
they are coming yet in an undiminish-
ed food.
1t will be physically impossible for
the president and Secretary Loeb to
acknowledge each message received,
in accordance with the usual custom
at the white house, but the president
desires it to be understood that he APP
preciates it to the fullest and express
sions of his friends and would be glad
if it were possible personally to greet
and thank every one of them.
The president was in exhuberant
spirits yesterday. Although he did
not retire until late hour Tuesday
night he arose early and had happy
early morning chat with the members
of his family and his house guests.
He reached the executive Offices early
and not till then did he read the morn
ing papers. After glancing over them
he read a few of the thousands Of
kilograms of congratulation which
had been received and examined bull
letins of the latest returns of the cleo
ton. He was advised that the repub-
licans had carried Maryland, a mes
sage from Senator McComas ANNOUNCE
ing that the result was beyond ques.

Only one democrat was elected in
Douglas county, and that is DR.. Nipple
for the democratic membership of the
water board.
The Omaha Herald presents these
figures on the governorship:
Returns received representing
little more than half the total vote
of the state give Mickey, for COVER
nor, G4,S9S votes, and Berge 60,764
which leaves Mickey Aba votes in
the lead. The returns received in
clude those from Lancaster and Doug
las counties, from quite number Of
counties complete, and otherwise the
scattering vote returned from pre-
cincts in all sections of the state.
OF the vote recorded from outside
Douglas county, Mickey polls 52,S per
cent, as against 52.3 per cent of the
total vote of the outside counties two
years ago-a gain for him, on the
vote thus far accounted for of one
half of 1 per cent as compared with
the MickeyThompson vote.
Comparisons made between the vote
of 400 precincts with the vote cast
by the same precincts two years ago
Mickey, 1852; Berge, 36,27S-19O4.
Mickey, 35,414; Thompson, 10000
1902.
This gives Berge a gain of 6,274
over the Thompson vote of two years
ago, and Mickey gain of 4,538 over
his own vote at that time The net
gain for Berge is 1,736 in 400 pre-.
cincts outside Douglas county. These
precincts gave Mickey and Thompson
almost a third of their total vote, out
side Douglas county. Multiplying the
net Berge gain by three gives 5,20S
the total gain outside Douglas that
Berge might expect if the returns
continued in the same proportion
throughout.
Mickey came down to Douglas coun.
ty two years ago with 200 plurality

slide are the candidates for congress
in eight of the sixteen districts, a re-
publican gain of seven, and the semi
official returns from the state legis
lative districts give a republican ma
jority of fourteen on joint ballot in
the next general assembly.
This will mean the defeat of United
