LINCOLN CONFERENCE
Bryan Lieutenants Speeding to
Buckeye State to Size
Up Situation.

Lincoln, Neb., July 20.-According to
Fairview in conference with Bryan
the ability of the democratic party TO
secure the negro vote in Ohio will de-
pend largely upon the attitude of Sen
ator Foraker. So long as he remains
outside of the republican breastworks
at least as regards Judge Taft. the
democrats feel assured of n large ne
gro support in that state.
An Important Factor.
Holding as they do the balance oi
political power, there being something
like 10000 of them, the negroes in the
Ohio campaign will be a most impor'
tant factor. Should however. Foraker
become reconciled and lend his support
to Taft. it is conceded that there is
little probability of enrolling a suffi
cient number of negro voters in the
cause of democracy to materially af
feet the result.
Ohio Feud All Advantage.
Former Attorney General Frank

He was much disturbed by the lowing
OF the cattle, the grunting OF the pigs
and other sounds of country life, which
he could not understand. and IN par
ticular he was frightened by the crow

response to the farmers inquiries, he
said the sound of the Wild beasts had
kept him awake. Just at that mo-

been neighing like that for hours!
Since then Londoners have been called
