An advisory board was selected, with
one or more representatives from every

BRYAN LAYING
WIRES FOR 1908
Back to the People" the Slogan
Adopted by the Democratic
- Leader.

Lincoln, Neb., April 3.-''It is a
getting together Of the aggressive ele-
ments Of the party in active prelimi-
nary work for the great battle,' is the
way W.. j. Bryan explained his recent
activity in connection with the reor-
ganization of the democratic party.
: Mr.. Bryan returned today from Des
Moines, and it was with particular ref
erence to the meeting held there Sat
urday night, at which he made the prin-
cipaI address, that; he spoke. He ex-
planned that the Des Moines meeting,
like the one held at Topeka, Kan, late
in February, was to further move
ment for organization of democratic
clubs and thereby place the machinery
Of the party in the hands Of those who
meant well. In Iowa, he said, the same
plan had been adopted as in Kansas
with both Of which he was in hearty
sympathy.
REORGANIZATION continued Mr.
Bryan, "is hardly the proper word ia
express 1t, because the party does not
need reorganization. There is no fac
tional feeling calling for special effort
but the motive is to get back to the
people, so that there may be- a united
harmonious, effort for the campaign OF
19O8.''
Mr.. Bryan said he was not trying tc
head a faction or control the organiza
ton further than that he wanted the
progressive men Of the party to take
the lead. ,r

WATER CASE WON
BY SIOUX FALLS
Suits to Defeat Municipal Own
ership Dismissed by the Fed
eral Court.

6pec1a1 60 Ito JOURNAL
Sioux Falls, S. D., April 3.-There is
general rejoicing in Sioux Falls today
over the pronounced victory which has
just been won by the city over the
South Dakota Water company, a pri-
vate concern whose twenty-year con-
tract with the city terminated in April
of last year.
Several years ago the voters Of Sioux
Falls authorized the expenditure of
bonds in the sum of $4,000 for the
construction Of municipal system of
waterworks. AS soon as a move was
made to construct tia system the water
company instituted an action by which
it sought to prevent the work being
carried to successful termination.
The case was fought in various stages
to the federal circuit court of appeals
being carried to that court by the city
which lost in the lower court. Argu
ments were made before the circuit
court of appeals several months ago
and City Attorney Keith was today
officially advised that an opinion in the
case had been fled by Judge Riner ir
the federal circuit court Of appeals al
st. Paul.
The opinion is very sweeping in its
character, holding that the injunction
granted against the city should be dis
solved, that the suit should be dis
missed and that the, costs. should be
taxed to the water company. It il
likely that the case will now BIZ carried
to the United States supreme court by
the private water company.
