ThurstOn's sister, an army woman,

BRYAN REPLIES TO CRITICS
Outlines Views on Regulation of
Railroad Traffic.
Wants Real ValuesJ No OvereaDi-
on Legitimate Investment.

Lincoln, Nebr., Aug. Replying TO the
charges Of critics that he has backed
down on government ownership OF rail
roads. Mr.. Bryans Commoner says:
In spite of his very plain language,
certain papers have insisted upon misrep-
rese nting his position and have persist
entity dodged the issue Of regulation. Now
;hat Mr.. Bryan has pointed out that there
is 10 disposition on the part Of those who
believe in government ownership to make
it an issue in 1905. and that he does not
believe It wise to inject the question into
the campaign, these papers insist that it
s. and must be, an issue anyhow. But
they viii not be permitted to longer avoid
the discussion Of plans for effective regu-
lation.
do these editors believe in regulation,
or do they propose 10 leave the public
helpless?
Here are three vital propositions con-
nected with a present issue, namely, eff
fective regulation:
First, the ascertaining of the value of
the railroads.
Second. the preventing Of overcapitali-
zation
Third. the reduction Of rates TO a point
where they will yield only a reasonable
return upon the real value Of the roads"

BRYAN PLEADS FOR EDITORS.
Thinks Writers end Lecturers May
Be Presidential Candidates.

Lincoln. Nebr. Aug L-Mr Bryan
enters an emphatic protest in his paper
against barring from consideration as
Presidential candidate men who write
editorials and deliver lectures.
He says: do not La Toilette. Dolliver,
and Lands lecture? Must the door be
closed against them? Folk and Tillman
and Champ Clark lecture also, and they
have increased rather than diminished
their popularity by so doing.
"A man whose position is sound and
whose sympathies are with the people is
not apt to render himself less available
by championing the rights and interests
Of the masses, and a man whose sympa-
thies are against the people will be found
out, even If he never writes or speaks a
word. His sponsors indicate his position
If he refuses to reveal it himself
"The old way is the best Let each do
his duty as he sees it, and speak as he
thinks, and then the voters can select
the one most available for the work to
be done"

Jackson, Miss. Aug. Reports on the
primary elections in Mississippi received

man by 10000
Indications as 10 which two OF the six
candidates for governor viii remain in

owing to an unusually heavy vote. with

Scattered returns from the delta coun-
ties and the eastern section Of Missis-

the Senatorial race by a percentage of

Estimated Majority, 10000.
Conservative estimates made here upon
the basis of the results so far received
place Williams probable majority at
I5.OOo.
Not less than 10000 Democratic ballots
were polled in the primaries. which were
held to nominate Senator and two GU
bernatorial candidates for the second
primary.
Williams appears safe in those coun-
ties containing large urban population,
such as Warren, Vieksburg, and Natchez,
but the day has shown up ''Vardaman
weather" all over the State, and the
governor probably polled his entire an
ticipated rural vote, and possibly more.
He also appears to be running Williams
an exceedingly close race in Meridian and
Lauderdale counties and Gulfport, with a
chance Of winning out in each. These
