Is Way Bryan characterizes
Roosevelt's Interference in
New York Campaign,
MAKES COMMENT ON RESULT
Was Democratic, Not Republican OPP
position That Defeated Hearst
for Governor.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1O.-In a state
ment on the result of the election of
Tuesday made yesterday afternoon, w.
j. Bryan said:
THE election of 1906 indicates a
| trend in favor of the democratic party
1t proves that the democratic party is
growing stronger as republican poll
cies are developed. In New York the
party has won signal victory in spite
of the tremendous efforts put forth in
| behalf of the administration. The re-
publicans had all the money they want
ed; they had the support of all the
great corporations, and at the close
| they had whatever influence the adj
ministratiOn could lend. The fact that
the democrats elected every state of
| ficer excepting the governor shows
that in the Empire state the republi-
| can party has been repudiated.
Hughes Victory Dimmed.
''The defeat of Mr.. Hearst. the demo-
cratic and independence league candi-
date for governor while a great dis
appointment to his friends and to the
party. is explained by facts which rob
Mr. Hughes victory of both glory and
political significance.
Mr. McCarTen, whom Mr. Hearst
denounced as a boss, threw his infiu-
ence to Hughes and cut down Mr.
Hearst's vote in Brooklyn Mayor Nc
Clellan. the legality of whose election
Mr. Hearst had denied. used his in
fluence for Mr.. Hughes and cut down
the Hearst vote in New York. Mr.. Je-
rome, the prosecuting attorney of New
York, who had also been attacked by
Mr. Hearst, supported the republican
ticket and his influence was felt in
Greater New York
Cookers Attack Effective.
! ''Mr. Croker, during the last days of
the campaign. made an attack upon
Mr. Hearst which doubtless weakened
| the democratic candidate among the
Tammanyites Mr. Murphy, the head
of Tammany. while supporting the
ticket. could not put much enthusiasm
into the campaign owing to the person
al controversies which he had had with
Mr.. Hearst.
1T is evident, therefore, that Mr.
Hughes owes his victory not to repub-
lican votes but to democratic votes
brought to him by the men whom he
and the republican leaders have been
denouncing for years.
Small Comfort for Roosevelt.
president Roosevelt cannot find
much cause for rejoicing in the New
York returns To have his own state
go democratic cannot be gratifying to
him, and to find that his personal at
tack on Mr.. Hearst had little influence
on the result compared with the influ-
ence exerted by McCarren. Murphy,
and Croker will not gladden. his
Thanksgiving day. The presidents
personal attack on Mr.. Hearst was in
bad taste, to say the least, and the
failure of that attack to favorably i'm
press the public ought to be a warning
for the future"
