JOLuYING HIM ALONG.
Optimistic Ones Tell Mr.. Bryan How
Good His Chances Are.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 10
From the lips of numerous callers from
various parts of the country and from
William j. Bryan today received graft
flying reports regarding the political
outlook affecting his candidacy for the
Presidency of the United States. Alto
guther he had one of the busiest days
since his nomination.
In addition to some travelling men,
the visitors included Rep. Henry Clay
ton of Alabama chairman of the COM
mittee on notification; Henry George
Jr., of New York; Harvey w. Pardy
Of Lincoln, an octogenarian who in
tends to stump Erie and Wyoming
counties, n. Y, for Bryan, a delesa-
ton of Christian Scientists from va
rious parts of the country and 300
members of the Epworth Guild, to
whom he delivered brief address. The
success of Adlai E. Stevenson, Mr..
Bryan's running mate in 1900, in the
recent Illinois primaries for the COVER
norship nomination attracted partic-
ular notice of the Democratic candi-
date while l take no part in the
contests between Democrats before the
conventions or primaries" he said, Il
am sure I will be pardoned in this
case if 1 say that while we had a num-
Der of worthy Democrat as
piring to the governorship in ILL
nois not one among them was
superior in his qualifications to
Mr.. Stevenson. l believe he will make
a very strong candidate and will great
ly aid the national ticket.
"The dissatisfied Republicans, and
there are many of them in Illinois, will
feel no harm could come to the state
from Mr. Stevenson's election. His
large public service and his sterling
qualities combine to make him the
ideal candidate, and he will make an
ideal governor
The visit of Henry George, Jr. lasted
end of an extensive lecture tour, and
when that is concluded it is his in
tention to take the stump in behalf
Of Bryan and Kern.
"This is the first time in many
years. except in the case of Represent
tative I.ittlefield of Maine.' said Mr..
George. that President Samuel Comp
ers of the American Federation of La =
Dor has been in a political fight. 1t is
very significant"
In mis- opinion, trade unions were
more in politics in the present cam
paign than he had ever known them
to be. "And that" he said. 'is saying
a good deal" "There were conditions,
he remarked. "such as hard times and
labor injunctions. that had aroused the
laboring men to action"

shot down before they had chance
to defend themselves with their weap-
ors.
The outlaws after they had shot the
officers sought to make sure of their
work by pounding the policemen with
rocks, after which they robbed them
of their revolvers.
That the officers fought until their
strength gave out and death came, was
shown by the trampled conditions OF
the turf and the torn shrubbery. To-
day a small black cap was found near
the scene, but no other clews had been
discovered up to 1 P. NJ, although a
band of 40 state and local officers and
special police were searching the entire
vicinity.
At 100 word was received from Low
ell of the arrest there of two men on
suspicion of being involved in the
shooting.
