 1t is by no means certain that the Republicans will carry Nebraska. Re- publicans in close touch with the situa- tion see clearly that the Democrats have somewhat better than lighting chance" for the national ticket and that the Fusfonists are more than likely to elect their State and legislative ticket
 When the campaign opened the out look was very dark for the Democrats But within the last few weeks there have been a change in the attitude or the Bryan Democrats toward the na- tional ticket, the development of d sentiment in favor of Judge Parkers $ election, and an awakening of the peo- pie generally to the desiraDiilty or electing a Governor and a Legislature that will not do the bidding of the rail- road and other corporations.
 The Bryan Democrats. after letting off steam" by declaring that they never nominated at St. Louis, have come around, on sober second thought, to take the view that, distasteful though that ticket is to them on some grounds, it is much less distasteful than that nominated at Chicago, and they are now heartily supporting 1t.
 MT. Bryan has done much to bring
 
 suspected even by his closest friends, immediately after he came home from St. Louis that he was at heart dis loyal to Parker and Davis and would not give them genuine, active support. But he has effectually dispelled that suspicion. Those close to the distin- guished leader know that he Is sincere and that he is working diligently for the ticket.
 If Mr. Bryan had elected to oppose the ticket his old followers doubtless would have done so. They waited to see what course he would pursue, and then quickly got into line.
 Importing Noted Speakers.
 The Republicans are flooding the State with literature and sending into every nook and corner of its speakers of note. Uncle Joe" Cannon, Opie Read and other speakers are here trying to stem the tide of sentiment toward the Democratic ticket.
 MT Bryan will begin a speechmak- ing tour of the State the first week in October. Joseph W. Folk, of Missouri, Is also billed for speeches, and 1t is re- ported that Governor La Toilette, of Wisconsin, will make a few speeches in the interest of Berge, the Fusion can didate for Governor whose views on State questions, particuarly on the cor portation question, are very similar to those entertained by Wisconsins chief eXecutlVe.
 The story that MT. Bryan has enter ed into a deal with the Republican leaders to throw the electoral vote of Nebraska to Roosevelt and Fairbanks in return for Republican support for the Fusian legislative ticket in order to insure his own election to the United States Senate next winter, Is laughed at alike by Republicans, Democrats and l Populists. Chancellor E. Benjamin | Andrews. of the University of Nebras- ka. is responsible for the story. Few even of Mir Bryans bitterest political enemies would credit him with so mean and contemptible a piece of treachery and nobody believes he could make l such a deal. The Republican leaders of Nebraska are quite as desirous to l elect the legislative ticket this fall as to carry the State for Roosevelt The corporations and trusts, the dominant | influences In the Republican politics of the State, are just as desirous now as ever that the party shall control the next legislature.
 Corporations for Mickey. One of the principal issues in the State campaign Is the Elevator Trust question. The big corporations and the trusts are working tooth and nail for Mickey, the Republican candidate for
