GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
William J. Bryan Elaborates Position
on Question. ...,5

William J. Bryan Elaborates Position
on Question, .....,.
Louisville, Sept. 14.-In a speech
before $4,000 people at the armory
William J. Bryan elaborated his posi-
ton in regard to government owner
ship of railroads. He declared he was
not trying to force the issue on the
Democratic party, but merely express
Ing his own views.
He would gladly make any sacrifice
In exchange for the assurance that
regulation instead of government own
ership would answer the needs of the
people, but expressed grave doubts as
to whether regulation would ever suf-
flee. He took pains to present argu-
ments to convince his hearers that
government ownership of trunk lines
and state ownership of state lines mot
only preserve the rights of the state,
but will permit the people of each to
adopt government ownership when
they are ready for it.
Mr.. Bryan was welcomed to Ken
lucky by his whilome opponent, Henry
Watterson, who presided over the
meeting.

The question, "Who is Cole?"
seems to have lost it's force since
that Kenyon speech. The people
may never have met the republi-
can candidate personally, but
they now know him to be a man
with pronounced views on the
great state issue, the regulation
of railroad rates, and they are
convinced that if he is elected he
will work for their interests all
the time; right after election, six
months and a year after election,
and up to the last minute before
his successor is inaugurated.
No playing to the galleries just
before the votes are counted, and
mastery inactivity the rest OF
the time in Mr.. Coles politics.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1906-09-14

The question, which is the
more important, to elect a re-
publican lieutenant governor or
to elect a man who, even though
a democrat, will use his influence
as president of the senate in
behalf of drainage and good
roadse seems to be. being
answered in favor of the latter
proposition by many of the good
republicans of the northern
counties. The following from
the Big Forks Compass voices a
general sentiment: IF it should
happen that L. G.. Pendergast,
the democratic nominee for
lieutenant governor, should be
elected with the: republican
nominee for governor, drainage
would have a very able team
indeed"

SURPRISES IN BElA1to RETURNS

Portland, Me-, Sept. 14.-"This cleo.
hon will be thoroughly investigated
and 1t is likely the investigation will
be carried to the ballots if need be-" :
This statement was issued during
the day by Cyrus w. Davis, the Demo
cratic candidate for governor, who on
the face of the returns was defeated
by Governor William T. Cobb, Repub-
lican, by S,SS2 votes. Mr.. Davis made
the statement in commenting on a
news item which appeared in his per-
sonal organ, the Waterville Sentinel.
The item read: D.
"'The Maine election is still in doubt.
There is good prospect that the
Democrats will not only control the
next Maine house of representative s
but on joint ballot will have a major
ity of the entire legislature and elect
United States senator to succeed
Mr.. Frye. AS sample of what is be-
ing done it may be mentioned that
the investigation of the returns al
ready shows the election of three Dem
ocratic representatives in places
where the Republicans claimed to be
winners. Information is at hand which
indicates that these three may be
many times multiplied-in fact times
enough to insure the control of the
legislature"
A careful revision of the lists in the
light of belated returns indicates the
Democrats will have 8 of the 81 SEN
ators and so of the ISL representa-
tives in the next legislature. This is
gain for the minority party of SEN
ators and "a representatives.

CONFER WITH PRESIDENT
SHERMAN, PENROsE AND ROosE.
WELT TALK POLITICS.
The Rookbinders at the Government
Printing Office Considered, but
No Conclusion Reached.

Washington, Oct 8.-Representative
James 8. Sherman of New York, chair
man of the republican congressional
committee, and Senator Penrose, OF
Pennsylvania, had long conference
with the president on the political sit
uatiOn.
Mr.. Sherman was guest of the
president at dinner, and discussed
with the president in detail the con-
gressional campaign throughout the
country, especially the situation in
New York. Later the president, Mr..
Sherman and Mr.. Penrose conferred
on the situation in Pennsylvania, par
ticularly in the close districts.
The subject of the bookbinders at
the government printing office, which
was brought to the attention of Mr..
Sherman in New York recently by
President Feeny of the BOokbinders'
union, was considered among other
matters, but it was stated that no con-
clHsiOns were reached in that connec-
ton.

MOORE, OF THE WEATHER Blu.
REAU, LOCATES BIG QUAKE.
Was Within an Indefinite Region West
of Australia, Is His
Opinion.

Washington, Oct 6.-The weather
bureau has issued a bulletin annOunc'
ing that the bureaus seismOgraphs
recorded another great earthquake u
beginning at 9:05 p. M, Oct. 1, but that
the earthquake probably was not dis
astrous.
The official bulletin, signed by Will
lis s. Moore, cnief of the weather bu-
reau, says: THE record indicates
that the disturbance was at a great
distance from Washington; In fact al
most at the antipodes. or within an
indefinite region in the Indian ocean
westerly from Australia.
There Is every evidence from the
records that this is another great
earthquake. 1t would seem unlikely
that it was especially disastrous, in
view Of its prcbab e location in the
bed of the Indian ocean. 1t might,
however have been accompanied by
strong tidal waves.
"Advices have been received from
the London Daily Mail that a great
earthquake has been recorded on the
seismographs at Perth and Sydney,
Australia, which are not far distant
from the estimated origin as deduced
from the Washington observations"

DECLINES BAILEY'S OFFER
To Assist in Prosecuting Waters

Austin, Tex-A statement regarding
the proposition of Senator j. w. Bailey
to assist in representing the State in
the matter of prosecuting the Waters
Pierce Oil Company as part Of the
Standard Oil Company, together with
the correspondence relating to same,
was made public today. 1t seems that
Senator Bailey wrote letter to the ate
torney- general advising him that he
would be glad to lend him what assist
ance he could in the way of developing
facts in connection with the case.
To this proposition the attorney-gen-
eral replied that while he appreciates
the interest manifested by the senator,
he is able to handle the case himself
with the facts now possessed by him,
but if he needs any additional assist
ance or advice he will deem it pleas
ure to call upon the senator.

INsURGENTS REPORTED
TO az kInlNG ARMo

Pinar del Rio, Cuba, Oct. 6.-Follow.
ing a heated interview between Gov.
Sobrado and Gen. Manuel Lores, who
is commanding the insurgent forces
here that refuse to lay down their
arms until Gen. Pima Guerro arrives
and personally SO orders them. a
threat was made by the general that
the interior, towns of the province
would be attacked.
The quarrel is said to have been
the result of an assertion or boast
made by the governor that the two
detachments of American marines
here were under his command.
Captains McKelvey and Carpenter,
in command of the United States ma
rines, said that neither side would
be favored.
There is a rumor that the insur-
gents are not giving up all of their
arms and that they do not intend to
do so. This action is said to be for
the purpose of starting trouble after
the Americans leave the island.
