LINCOLN, Nov. Especial CHAIR
manHayward has sent out letters to
county workers requesting that from the
various localities the vote be telephoned
| in just as soon as Il is counted and in
return he win give the party telephoning
whatever information he may have Of the
vote in other parts Of the state. Mr.
Hayward hopes to have enough of tho
returns in before the morning after eIcc.
tion to pretty near tell just what the re-
publican majority will be. With the re-
publicans this election does not stop the
campaign. but the committee will go right
ahead strengthening the party machinery
so that next year the republicans will
| have no trouble. at all ip retaining the
state in the republican column.
Some little surprise was expressed by
| democrats and republicans here oday
when the World-Herald jumped on Tom
Allen for not advertising w. ]. Bryan's
speeches to be delivered in the state
One reason Given by a prominent demo-
crat down here was that owing to the
scarcity OF money Tom Allen found lie
could not Gecure space in the demo-pup
shee to get Bryan before the peo-
pie. Lincoln democrats running for
office or managing a campaign have
found, so they say, that IL costs money
to advertise democratic candidates in the
World-Herald. Tom Allen, the democratic
chairman, is the brother-in-law of W. j.
Bryan and holds his position by virtue
Of that relationship and by virtue of the
hold the railroads have on the minority
party. This is the explanation offered by
democrats for electing Allen to this posi-
tion but they are opposed to the demo-
pop organ saying a word against Allen
because they claim he and the World
Herald are in the same railroad camp.
Little was doing around the republican
headquarters today. only few letters came
in to be answered and c few telephone
messages were sent out to workers to
be the lookout for false rumors or
stories which might be put in circulation
by the opposition.
Custer County Awake.
Colonel, John ]. Ryder returned this
morning from Custer county, where he
went to expound republican truths for
the enlightenment of the people of that
section of the state. Colonel Ryder found
that practically every republican vote in
Custer will be cast and not only will all
the republicans vote for Judge Reese. but
ia good many democrats and populists are
going to do the same thing. The great
vision. and that is the only question the
people Will enthuse over The bank sItua-
tion, Mr.. Ryder said, was not cutting |
any figure out in this great common
wealth. for the people or Custer have |
all the money they can Their great
est trouble he found was in making /
change. Al a sale which was held near
Galloway. he said every man who made !
a purchase paid in the coin of the realm
and not a single note was given. Every !
body in that section or the state, it |
looked like he said. had plant" and
was paying no attention to the banks and |
were not in the.Ie worried.
Ed Hamilton, cashier OF the Commercial |
State bank OF Grand Island, which closed |
its doors last week. following the suicide
OF the cashier of the First National bank
at Charlton, Ia, which held some of the
Grand Island banks money. was in the city
today in consultation with the State Bank
ing board. 1t was decided the wank was
to reopen for business as usual Tuesday
morning. Secretary Royce, of the bank
ing board assured Mr. Hamilton that the |
examination showed the bank was solvent
and never should have been closed. Mr.. |
Hamilton stated that when the affair at
Charlton was made public he became fright
ened lest his institution should become in
voolved and he did not care to take the
chances on his own responsibility of con-
tinuing the business. The condition of the
funds at Charlton is such that they can be
realized on and the bank is considered
to have ample resources aside from this.
