CLAYTON SEES BRYAN.
Other Friends Take Lunch With the
NebrasSan.

Lincoln, July 2.-Congressman Hen
ry D. Clayton of Alabama, who will be
permanent chairman of the Denver
convention was at the Lindell hotel
today trying to collect his thoughts
and put them on paper. His keynote
speech is not yet prepared, but will be
ready by next Tuesday. Mr.. Clayton
is enthusiastically for a Bryan plat
form and a Bryan ticket.
I'VE have already elected Mr.. Bryan
in Alabama and we will keep on elect
the vice presidency the Alabama con-
gresham had no choice. So he is a
good Bryan man, which spells Demo-
crat to Mr.. Clayton, he will be salts
factory. Mr.. Clayton named over a
score or more of good men who would
satisfy him for the second position on
the ticket. All Democrats are in one
camp this year he insisted and it is
difficult to name man who would not
be satisfactory. Alabama will favor an
unequivocal declaration for an anti
injunction plank, SO Congressman
Clayton declared. The Democratic
platform or 1904 favored such a law
and the Democrats of his state have
not forgotten or abandoned it. He
himself had submitted a bill to con-
gress along this line.
Among the letters from lawyers of
the country which he had printed in
the Congressional Record was one from
Wade Ellis, of Ohio, in which Mr.. Clay
ton says the plan was approved.
THE Republicans have turned down
this demand for an anti-injunction
plank every time it has come up in
congress-" said Mr.. Clayton.
President Roosevelt has made sew
eral bid public displays for it. but
he has not welded the big stick in
it's favor as he does when he really
wants bill to pass. He did not use
his influence as he did at other times.
Labor issues are very important this
year" Mr.. Clayton said. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic party will appeal to the masses
rather than to the classes. He thought
that everything weighs against the Re-
publican party this year and that Dem
ocratic victory was certain.

rom was hastily made ready and 35

THROUGH THE MUD.
Senator Long Makes Lively Trip I'm
der Adverse Conditions.

Oakley, July 2.-When Senator
Long, after riding through the mud at
a 30-mile clip to reach here in time
for his meeting, with no supper and
with but a hasty lunch, with be-
draggled clothing and muddy shoes.
mounted the platform in the audi
forum here a half hour late and be-
gan his speech last night, he did not
relate any of these incidents or tell
his hearers what it cost him and his
party to reach here anywhere near on
time.
Senator Long has had some queer
campaigning experiences, and some
amusing ones, but perhaps none more
than today's events. There was so
miles of automobiling, three-mile
walk through the mud, a hurry-up
ride in a farm wagon, an experience
in a terrific rain, electrical, and hail
storm, with a high wind blowing, a
hospitable hour spent in a little sod
house in the sparsely settled and
somewhat primitive section of the
county another hour at a second
farmhouse, and about the hardest
days work he has done in long
time.
There was the hospitality of two
families rendered the senator and his
party. in a region where luxuries and
comforts may not abound to the ex-
tent they do in other parts of the
state, Dut WneTe people nave WdTHl
hearts and kind words. There was a
reversal of the usual procedure when
instead of being the entertainer, Sena-
tor Long was entertained, and when
talking machines and organs super
seeded the usual oratorical form of en-
tertainment.
He and his party drove 30 miles
Tuesday afternoon, late. to Sharon
Springs. reaching there just little be-
fore the time for his meeting. Early
Wednesday morning. before half the
town was up, the party started in it's
automobile for Logan county. Stops
were made at Wallace, the remnant of
what was once the most famous COM
munity in western Kansas, that was
live and important in the days of the
buffalo hunt the Indians. and the end
of the line. People were largely at
breakfast when Senator Long reached
here but he was able to see many per-
sons and to look around the little town.

the last town on the Union Pacific in
the state This visit was in May, 1908,
Wnen Senator Long persuaded Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his party, of which
senator Long was one. to spend Sun
day at that point. The presidential
party did SO, and the little town of
Sharon Springs will never forget the
event. Services were held in one of
the little churches which the president
attended, he received the townspeople
and the others gathered there for the
event, and then long horseback ride
was taken by the president and others
over the hills and prairie north of
town.
Mr.. Long also congratulated Sharon
Springs on its latest acquisition, a thing
that is bound to make a still better
town out of it, the success in securing
a division of the Union Pacific rail-
road. Work was scheduled to COM
mence yesterday, but the rains recent
ly have delayed this. However. vast
quantity of materials is on hand, and
the division is an assured fact. 1t
comes about from the fact that the
Union Pacific has decided to abandon
the division at Cheyenne Wells, Col.
and create two new ones, one at
Sharon Springs, and one at Hugo, Col,
making three between Ellis and Den
yer. There will be a large roundhouse.
machine shops, ETC., and complete
passenger and freight division. This
will mean the advent of a hundred new
men and families, and Sharon Springs
is naturally proud. The senator con-
graduated the town on its good luck
and it's hard efforts now crowned with
success.
Senator Long is today in Cove coun-
ty. making what is perhaps the most
thorough campaign he has yet made
of any county. He is again proceed
ing by automobile, and is working east
down the Union Pacific main line.

BETTER WATER FRIDAY.
This Is Promised by the Company
Officials.

BY pumping day and night with two
centrifugal pumps the waterworks de-
partment hopes to have the dirty
water entirely out of the reserve well
by Friday afternoon or maybe in the
morning if everything goes well.
The river went down about Is
inches from Wednesday morning and
the top of the we'll wall is now show
ing one and half feet above the sur
rounding river water. r.
The pumps were set at work at II
o'clock this morning on their task of
emptying the 80 foot well and in or
der to hasten the work as much as
possible an additional centrifugal
pump was installed today, making two.
The pumps will work every one of
the twenty-four hours.
After the water has been lifted out
of the we'll, however, men must be
sent to the bottom with shovels TO
clean out the dirt which means that
at the best clean water cannot be sup
piled to the consumers before Satur-
day noon.

RIDDER TO SEE BRYAN.
Editor Will Tell Him Someone Else
Should Be Nominated.

Chicago, July Judge Parker and
the various New York leaders confer
red informally on the trip from New
York to Chicago and an understanding
was reached to look over the field at
Denver and discuss the situation with
leaders from other sections before taxi
ing up any definite line of action either
as to man or measures. The tendency
of the delegation is strongly toward
securing conservative action. but in
stead of giving out interviews and
adopting a literary campaign, they ex-
pect to accomplish more by a quiet
caucus among the delegations of other
states.
Senator McCarren, of Brooklyn, who
ing New York delegates, was on the
train with the Tammany leaders, who
had deposed him. He took no part in
the conferences en- route.
Herman Ridder, of New York. Will
stop at Lincoln on his way to Denver.
in order to have talk with Mr.. Bryan
Mr. Ridder is not favorable to Bryan's
nomination and it is understood he will
tell the Nebraskan leader plainly that
the interests of the party would be
best served by the choice of another
candidate.
Martin J. Littleton, of New York, the
attorney who secured >he acquittal of
Harry K. Thaw, accompanied the Tam
many men from Chicago, westward as
the guest of Chief Murphy. Mr.. Little
ton is to some extent the spokesman
of the New York party on questions re-
lating to conservative action by the
convention and his persuasive elo
quence is counted on to accomplish
much among the delegates.

ence to instructions. Mr.. Wood ex-
plains that the letter to Mr.. Bryan
was written with the latter's consent
obtained after three hour interview
in which he fully presented his views
to the Nebraska leader. In his letter
to delegates Mr.. Wood urges them to
get together and prepare petition to
Bryan asking him to release them
from their instructions and thus per-
NIT the convention to become a party
council and leave the delegates free to
choose candidate for their liking. He
points out that Mr.. Bryan has twice
been an unsuccessful candidate and
