BRYAN HOPED TILL LAST.
Surrounded by Friends and Neiehbors
He Listened to Returns.

Fairview. Lincoln, Neb.-William j..
Bryan on Tuesday night received at
his home, Fairview, the returns which
early told him that for the third time
he had been defeated in the greatest
ambition of his life. Confident of vic
tory to the very last. he was not pre-
pared to believe that his cause was
lost until the pluralities of his Re
publican opponent piled up in such
proportions as to leave no room for
doubt. When the early returns came
in he made particular inquiries re-
garding the state of New York, and
found much encouragement in the
gains he was making upstate over the
Democratic vote of 1904, but as the

which many of the Democrats have
taken in Salt Lake county and the
magnificent public spirit and real
patriotism which they have thus dis.
played.
Further. congratulate the 27
counties Of the state on the splendid

In Salt Lake county the American
vote was about ! 400 less than a wear
ago and the Republican vote in the
city was nearly 5000 more than a
year ago.
Inc Democratic vote In the county
was larger than anticipated, the Dem.
ocrats getting 1924 for knight. and
46s5 for Burbidge in the city, and
polling over 1000 votes in the county
districts outside the city.
In Salt Lake City a total of over
1"oVo votes were cast, and in the
county outside of the city nearly IN

For the first time for sixteen years
the Eighth Mississippi district will be
represented by another than John
Sharp Williams, for several years
past the Democratic leader on the
floor of the house. He failed to seek
a denomination on account of his cleo
ton to the senate and 1t is presumed
he will be succeeded in leadership by
Mr.. Clark of Missouri. Likewise
Bourke Cockhan gives way to Michael
F. Conry, who is also a Democrat.
Charles S. Millington, Republican will
succeed Mr.. Tafts' running mate, Mr.
Sherman, as representative of the
Twenty-seevnth New York district
John w. Gaines of Tennessee will
be succeeded by Joseph W. Byrnes,
another Democrat. South Dakota

TELLS HOW ARCHBISHOP
GUIDED MRS. WENSINGER

SANTA ROSA, May 5.--W. L. J. Noble
occupied the witness stand all of today
in the Wensinger will contest case,
which was resumed this morning after
continuance from Friday last.
Noble testified to numerous conversa-
tions with Mrs. Teresa Wensinger in
which she had told him she would not
undertake anything without the adj
vice and consent of the archbishop.
When he leased the Los Guillocus ranch
he said the lease was submitted to the
archbishop before she would finally
close the deal.
Regarding the sale of the ranch to
Senator Kerns of Utah the witness
said that he had offered Mrs. Wen
singer s65000. but it was refused and
sold afterward to Senator Kerns, ac-
cording to Mrs. Wensingers own ac-
count to him. for $4,000 or $4,000
less than he had offered for it. Mrs
WenHnger had said when he questioned
her about it that Senator Kearns came
to her for the ranch through the arch
bishop and she was forced to sell it to
him at the figure he offered.
The defense questioned the witness
for the purpose of showing that the
archbishop was in the east at the time
of the sale.

dent. Roosevelt gives some satisfactory
explanation of the reasons for Stewart
being exiled TO an ungarrisoned post
Senator Rayner has determined to
bring the matter up and will offer a
resolution calling for all papers. corre-
spondence and charges relating to the
natter
In this action Rayner is rendering a
personal favor TO his dead colleague
Senator William Pinckney Whyte Of
Maryland. The wife of Colonel Stewart
is a niece of the late Senator Whyte
and grand granddaughter of William
Pinckney, for whom Whyte was named
and a former senator from the state.
Whyte was much devoted to his
niece and Rayner will see that she is
given the same protection that could
have been accorded her by her uncle,
If living

by Senator Rayner. no formal charges
have ever been fled against Colonel
Stewart His exile was forced with
