High school athletic enthusiasts, includ-
ing both the students and the alumni. are
about to realize as a fact something that
has been looked forward 10 for years as
a most desirable possibility. Monday after
noon the class OF 1908 will formally present
to the school the valuable trophies which
have been onated for annual competition
In athletics. The fact that a class, with
such athletic proclivities has finally been
graduated. Is considered by past students
at the old school on the hill as the reach
ing OF a new era in Omaha High school
life.
A sterling silver loving cup. a heavy gold
medal and a similar one Of silver comprise
the gift OF the class graduated last June
and IL well remembered as having been
strong IN athletics. Money for the trophies
was appropriated out OF the fund raised
at the senior fair given by the class In
April. and some opposition by certain mem
bers OF the faculty had to be overcome
before half OF the fair fund OF 800 was
set aside for the furtherancs OF school
spirit and sports. This other half Of the
fund was devoted to art.

CHICAGO, Nov. l"-Minnesota's DREADED
foot ball team proved helpless yesterday
in front OF the lightning play OF staggs
athletes and Chicago piled up a score Of
20 while Minnesota fought vainly to cross
the goal OF their rivals.
The score of 20 to 0 is Identical with
that OF the first victory Of Chicago against
Minnesota In 1899. II also is the deciding
game OF a tie between the teams as the
result Of the games of 1901, the rivals
having failed to clash In the five years
preceding 1905. Yale veterans also decided
a friendly rivalry when Stages machine

Gives Dat Interview Before Leaving
Chicago.


CHlCAGO, Nov. 1.-Confdent of victory
at the election on Tuesday. william J.
Bryan, democratic candidate for president.
left Chicago today for a tour tomorrow
through Kansas. Tomorrow night he ex-
poets to reach Lincoln, Neb., where he will
participate. in a home demonstration
Mrs. Bryan left the candidates special
train here and went direct to Lincoln. More
than a dozen boxes of flowers which had
been given her during the trip through
Indiana Saturday we're taken home by
Mrs. Bryan. Before leaving Chicago Mr.,
Bryan said:
II do not care to make any list of states
In estimating the result Of the election. for
while l think the result is more certain In
some than In others 1 would not want to
discourage democrats in the less certain
states by making determinations. l believe
that we will have votes to spare in the
electoral college. and a considerable ma
jority of the popular vote"
Speaking Of his delay in reaching Chicago
Saturday night Mr.. Bryan said: "The trip
arranged for the day was a long one with
a large number OF stops. The meetings were
Unexpectedly large and In some places the
speaking stands were fixed some distance
from the stations. We had to ride slowly
through the crowded streets to reach the
stands. Then there were three changes from
one road to another and finally our engine
broke down and the substitute engine had
to be turned around at the next station and
that caused a delay. / never before had
such a series Of delays in the campaign. l

1 have had from Illinois. 1 believe that the

a primary as being the same as a con-
v~ention. and that II is the duty OF all
members Of the party 70 abide by the
result Of the primary, as only by doing
this can party organizations be main
tanned.
In the present campaign Ex-Governor
Elrod has been making speeches In be-
half OF the entire republican ticket. When
asked by your correspondent II he was
going to support the republican ticket on
November 3 he made the following square
toed declaration:
YES. l am, and am unable to see how
any republican or any citizen who voted
for President Roosevelt four years ago
and believes in the Roosevelt policies
can fail to vote for Secretary Taft. Taft
for president and Wesley for governor
should be on the banner Of every republic
can in this state; they are worthy and
able leaders"
Lee and the Tariff.
1.-THE tariff has robbed you out Of half
Of what you make" said Andrew p. Lee,
the democratic nominee for governor of
South Dakota, during a recent address in
Sioux Falls. He Also spoke OF the rail-
roads having eaten up" and "confiscated'
the earnings Of the people. Mr., Lee, how
ever, is not a shining example in support
of his arguments. as the railroads and
the tariff have as yet been unable to
eat up" and "oonfiscate" the $500, 900 or
5000, 600 which he has accumulated In
South Dakota-most OF It under republic
can rule.

The New York state campaign. which has
been in full swing for more than a month,
Is practically at an end, although Governor
Hughes will make ten speeches In New
York City tomorrow. Mr.. Chanler, his OPP
ponent, will spend tomorrow in and around
Red Hook, In Duchess county.
Both democratic and republican state
leaders claimed today to be confident OF
success. Close political observers who have
canvassed the state from end to end, how
ever, frankly admit that they are in doubt
and there is no possible way in which the
result can be forecasted.
Newspapers tina have mad nonpartisan
canvasses OF the state announce today that
the result OF Tuesdays balloting on the

The Independence league party. managed
by w r. Hearst. has a complete state
ticket In the field and its leaders have been
concentrating practically all their fire on
Mr., chanler, who was Mr.. Hearst's run
ming mate two years ago, and there is some
interest in the strength the new party will
show. Two years ago the party fused with
the democrats and a year ago with the re-
p~ublicans. This year 1t is standing alone.
