BRYAN WILL ENTER
NEBRASKA FIGHT.
Says Best Way to Support
Roosevelt Is With a Con-
gress That Is Democratic
WILL VISIT SOUId

LINCOLN. Neb., Sept 10--Wtlham -
Rrvan gave out statement today an
nouncing that as soon as he returned
from his Southern trip he would enter
the campaign in Nebraska and severai
other states. Bryan said he felt deeply
interested in the result in NeorasK@
and praised the ability OF the men on
the fusion ticket. Touching on the
candidacy of Ashton c. ShallenoerseI'
Fusion candidate for Governor, Bryan
said:
He is not only In favor Of the rigld
enforcement OF railroad regulation ana
the two-cent passenger fare, but ne ao
vocated the Government ownership OF
railroads before 1 did.
Continuing, Bryan said:
The election in Nebraska is not only
important because OF its bearing on
State matters, but also OF It's influence
upon the national campaign The voto
this year will be taken as an tndica-
tion OF the trend Of public sentiment
We are entering upon a great ngnt TOT
the determination OF the trusts ana
for the protection of the public from
exploitation at the hands OF the rail-
roads.
The Republican party has shown its
inability to deal effectively with these
and kindred subjects. Wherever the
PRESIDENT mas attempted 70 40 any eH4h
he has been compelled TO follow the
Democratic rather than the Republican
platform. and the Republicans In the
House and Senate have not supported
him. The Republican Senate emascu-
lated his railroad rate bill and Re
publican Congress opposed his meat
inspection bill.
The best way TO stand by the Pres
dent is to elect Democrats TO Congress
and the Senate. for the Democrats have
stood by him better than the RepubH-
cans on the most important questions.

Only in one particular is it charged
that the tricky boss disappointed the
man who is accused OF buying him with
$4,000 gold coin. When Walter Park
er stood al the door OF the convention
and told Ruef as he entered that the
Herrin slate included Judges Harrison,
Kerrigan and Hall for the Appellate
bench, Ruef listened to the names and
went in and passed the word that the
judges to be elected were not these
three The names of Harrison and
Kerrigan were not in Ruefs orders In
place Of them he put Judge Cook and
Supervisor Gallagher.
BY the efforts OF Judge Henshaw
and Judge Short. Kerrigan was saved
from this treachery. Cook found that
he was not only nominated TO the Ap-
.,ellate bench, but that his name headed
the list He had expected only an as
sociate judgeship.
True or false, this is the story which
has fallen as a bomb among the Ruef
following and shaken the power of the
man who was king.
RUFF MAKES DENIAL.
Ruef certainly protests enough, II not
TOO much. When approached on the
subject at Santa Cruz last night his
denial was phrased in strong language
1t is a - lie and I would like to
know the author of IT," said Ruef, ap-
parently more panied than is his wont
IN answering the accusations of his
enemies
They say I WEIGHED after I had
taken Herrin's money, do they2 They
call me a welcher, eh? What is a
welcher2
Well. j never got cent from any
one and never sold out a second time.
AS to any transactions between
Mayor Schmitz and Herrin I cannot
speak, Of course The Mayor did not
come to Santa Cruz to make me keep
my contract with the railroad; I had
no contract to keep. Mayor Schmitz
came to Santa Cruz that Wednesday
nlght because z. II. Countryman, Frank

his fortunes linked with those Of the
boss who WEIGHED. Schmitz has ambi-
tions for a higher station.
DIsTRUST Is MUTUAL.
The story of the $4,000 gold coin is
a hard one. Herrin has refused to
make another deal with Ruef The
men who think they should have
shared in the coin which Ruef is said
to have pocketed are UP in arms They
distrust Ruef. and Ruef distrusts them
1t is the beginning of the end for
the curly boss, say the wise ones They
think the Mayor is watching for an
opportunity to make break with
Ruef
r. III. Countryman. who one time sac
rificed more than most men are willing
to give when the ballot-box suffers
were on their trial and did it all in the
interests of Ruef, has abandoned the
cause of the distressed boss. He open
ly announces that he will have nothing G
more to do with Ruef. In his eyes
Ruef's pocketing the whole sack is too
grievous an offense to be pardoned
Public Works Commissioner Macs
tretti also nurses a strong feeling of
resentment against Ruef. Ignorant of
the fact that $4,000 of good Southern
Pacific money had been given for the
uses of himself and others, he made the
L.
the convention was over he and the
other district leaders learned-so the
story goes-that there was no patron
age for the boys-and no money for
him.
Commissioners Maestretti is not pre-
pared to admit that he is at outs with
Ruef or any one else high up in the
council of the present administration.
At least that is what he stated last
evening when an attempt was made 70
interview him.
The time is not opportune for me
to talk" he remarked. Not yet" and
the emphasis he laid on the last word
and the significant twirl in his lip
plainly suggested that he would like
to have added but soon" had not dis
cretion seemed to have been guiding
him in his statements.
Have you any intention of retiring
from the Board of Public Works?' he
was asked.
Il have nothing to say at this time
he responded.
And what about Atkinson?"
There was the same answer. the
same smile and the same twirl Of the
lip. Maestretti paused for a moment.
and then remarked, Not yet
He would not, however, deny that he
was preparing to make statement.
and finally said that it would be nos
sibly a week or SO before he would be
ready to say anything about Ruef or
OF the story that money had passed

IvERNESS, Scotland, Sept. 10
Banns for the marriage of James Henry
Smith of New York, heir of George
Smith of Chicago. to Mrs. Rhinelander
Stewart of Baltimore were read in the
parish church of Alvie, Ivernesshire.
Mrs. Stewart arrived in England only a
few days ago.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10-James Henry
Smith is a bachelor, and is one of the
wealthiest men in the country. He in
herited some years ago an estate valued
at upward of fifty million dollars from
his uncle, George Smith. After the
death of William c. Whitney Mr. Smith
purchased the Whitney residence on
Fifth avenue, and has entertained there
on a lavish scale. Mrs. Stewart OBJ
tanned divorce recently. and il was re-
ported then that she intended to marry
Mr%6mith. She is much interested in
society, as is Mr.. Smith, and Mr. Stew
arts Indifference to social affairs was
said to be one of the reasons for the
estrangement of the couple. Mrs Stew
art was Miss Armstrong of Baltimore,
and is sister of Mrs. Anthony j. Drex-
el of Philadelphia.

HIGGINS VISITS PRESIDENT.
Declares That He and Executive Are
In Entire Accord.


In Entire Accord
OYSTER BAY, L. l.. Sept. 10.-"All
can say is that ! have had a very
pleasant visit to President Roosevelt
and that he and 1 are in entire ac-
cord"
This was the extent OF the informa-
tion which Governor Frank w. Hig-
gins wished printed regarding his con-
ference today with President Roose-
Welt at Sycamore Hill. President
Roosevelt has indicated that he has
nothing whatever to communicate re-
garding the conference. When asked
about the conference, the Governor
said:
Naturally. the President and
talked over New York state politics
and discussed the candidates"
The Governor was asked as to the
correctness of the statement in the
papers that he had a majority Of the
delegates TO the Republican State Con-
vention. His reply was:
Il have no doubt that I have some
good friend who has said that I have
a majority of the delegates. but you
know I never advertise"
When Governor Higgins reached
oyster Bay he was asked the direct
question If he would be a candidate for
reelection. He replied that he had alb
sOlutely nothing to say on that sub
ject.
After Governor Higgins had departed
il was said at the executive ofice that
there would be no statement whatever
regarding his visit to the President.

and the Doodle Dees are taking much
apparent comfort and no real consola-
tlon. They are bending every energy
to keep Dfggs in the contest and thus
eliminate Bell. They argue that as
against Diggs the chances of Langdon
would be very much better than as
against Bell in the consideration Of
the convention

street that he would not support the

extraordinary announcement by a man

CANDIDATES ARE SCARCE.
nile the Governorship is being con-
sldered the other positions on the State
ucKet are not being discussed AS
matter of fact the leaders of the State
Democracy do not believe that there Is
the slightest chance of winning except
the Governor, and even there the
chance is small. There are no candi-
dates for the chief executive places and
great difficulty will be found to induce
men to run at all. The San Francisco
delegation will not even make it's nom
nations for Appellate Judges here. but
VIII adjourn to the metropolis for that
duty.
Judge Murasky of San Francisco
would like to try conclusions against
Justice Henshaw for the Supreme
bench, and Jackson Hatch of Santa
Clara would accept a nomination for
similar position. Beyond that the field
of aspirants is bare.
The Los Angeles delegation eaucused
today and decided to give it's entire
vote, under the unit rule. to Bell Ala
media is expected to do the same and il
is predicted that San Francisco will
throw lao out of her 1eS votes to the
same candidate
1t is the prevailing impression here
that William H. Afford committed a
serious political blunder in indorsing
the candidacy of Langdon, since that
Endorsement necessarily carries with 1t
a disloyalty to the party organization
1t has been suggested that il is now
the duty of somebody to indorse AL
ford.

emily declined 10 do this, but at last
consented to consider the suggestion.
At an early hour this Tuesday,
morning he and Theodore Bell ar
ranged conference to talk the matter
over. The conference is still in prog
ress, but it yet remains practically a
certainty that Bell will be the nominee
of the convention for Governor.
Another startling development to-
night is the appearance of Fire Com

Hegarty and Supervisor Furey and
George B. Benham of San Francisco on
the scene and their announcement that
they are official representatives of the
Union Labor party and insist that
Langdon do not receive the nomina-
ton. AS the District Attorney has not
