JONES TELLS BRYAN
NOT TO RUN AGAIN
important Announcements
Coming November %.
Many Believe NebraSkan Will With
draw From Race.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, (SpeciaD =
William Jennings Bryan may an
nounce his determination not to be
a candidate for the Democratic NOM
Tnation for President There are some
Democrats who expect him to make
such an announcement in Washing
ton on the 25th of next month. On
that date he will lecture before the
George Washington University here,
and it has been advertised that in the
course of his lecture he will make
"an important political announce
ment."
There are reasons for the belief
that this important political an
uuuncement" will be a declaration
that he will not be a candidate for the
nomination of his party next year.
He has been advised by some of
his closest political friends not to be
a candidate.
Jones Advises Him to Keep Out.
1t is asserted on good authority
mat ex-senator James K. Jones, of
Arkansas, who was chairman of the
Democratic National Committee dur
ing the Bryan campaigns, has writ
ten a letter to the Peerless Leader
advising him to keep out of the race
next year. Mr.. Jones declines to dis
cuss the matter, pleading that he is
now practicing law in Washington
and no longer in politics. There is
good authority, however, for the
statement that he has written the
letter.
The ex-senator and eX-national
chairman is a very close friend of
Mr.. Bryan and the latter has much
confidence in his experience and po-
utical acumen. 1t is said that Mr..
Jones urged Bryan to keep out of the
fight on the ground that he was fore
doomed to defeat if he became a can
iidate
Roosevelt Policies to Win
IN Mr.. Jones' opinion the Republi-
cans are likely either to renominate
Mr.. Roosevelt, or, if the third term
idea is too unpopular, to nominate a
man who will stand for all the Roose-
Welt policies. The Republican plat
1n hA1i Wi
strongly and clearly for the policies
which Mr. Roosevelt has been advo-
principle Mr. Bryan would have no
rinciple Mr. Bryan would have no
show whatever. The popularity of
President Roosevelt and the faith the
people of the country have in his
policies forecast victory for the Re-
publican ticket and hence Mr.. Jones
is. understood to have advised his
friend Bryan to stay out.
The statement given out by the
President of the George Washington
University that Mr.. Bryan would have
an imortant political announcement to
make has kept many people guess
ing, but since it has become whisper
ed about that good friends, like Ex-
Senator Jones, have advised the Ne
hraskan not to be a candidate, the
nature of the announcement is not
so vague, although there is, as yet,
no positive knowledge that it will be
his withdrawal from the presidential
race.

the country look forward. and they
turned u in large numbers. While
reports from various sources are that
there has not been quite as much trav

years, the attendance at the fair does
not show 1t. The weather yesterday
was not favorable to the success Of
the fair.

the race track. The best pacing of

Waterloo, Iowa, Sept. s. - Twelve
people were killed and twelve injured
in the wreck of an express train on
the Rock Island railroad at Norris,
Iowa, yesterday. The train jumped the
track while going at full speed and
collided with a freight train standing
on a siding. All of the dead and in
jured were in the smoking car, which
was Immediately behind the baggage
and mail cars. The smoking car was
completely demolished, there not he

Making UP Lost Time.
The express was ten minutes late
at Norris siding, which is a small sta
ton three miles north of Cedar Falls.
Iowa, and where a freight train was
awaiting the express, which came
laundering along at a terrific pace in
an effort to make up time. Just as
the engine of the express was about to
pass the freight engine the trucks of
the express jumped the track and the
engine crashed with terrible force into
the engine of the freight, wrecking
both engines and t%elescoping the bag
gage and mail cars and demolishing
the smoking car, in which a number
of men were riding.
A Scene of Horror.
1t was among the occupants of this
car that the only injuries and fatali-
ties occurred. The passengers in the
two day coaches following the smoker
escaped with only a violent shaking
up.
Rescuers were Immediately at hand
to care for the injured and to take the
dead from the wreckage. Great ex-
element reigned about the scene,
which was one to make the stanchcst-
hearted man shudder.
The only person in the smoker to
escape injury was the news dealer
who was thrown through the broken
roof Of the car and landed at the side
track unhurt.
