While Mr.. Bryan has refused to use
any influence for a nomination or
against any candidate for nomination,
yet his well known friendship and re-

credit of being Bryan's choice

his opponents with treachery against

der the law Of the state the ballot
boxes Will not be turned" until sun
down, so that it was anticipated that
the result could not be definitely known
until well along in the evening.
With Lieutenant Governor Prouty's
election admitted by all opposing party
leaders, the question of interest in the
election was that of the size of his
plurality over former Mayor Burke and
the strength of the Independence party
movement IL the state. 1t was believ-
ed that both of these would have con-
siderable bearing on the conduct of the
national campaign.

year would be unusually heavy, especi-
ally in the six cities and in the large
towns.

Device to Make Them Get Of Street

Chicago. Sept. IA device for the
purpose of making women get of q
street car without facing backwards Is
being tried by the Chicago City Rail-
way company.
The scheme was discovered in con-
nection with the pay-as-you-enter
type of cars, which have a handle on
the front door. Observing inspectors
found that women in alighting seized
the handle and, clinging to ii, swung
around to the outside of the door.
alighting with their faces toward the
rear.
The remedy consisted of the removal
of the handle. Under the new plan
the door is opened by a mechanical
device operated by the motorman. The
passenger has nothing to grasp except
handle at the forward end Of the
step and seemingly can not help facing
forward when leaving the car.
