BRYAN TALKS
TO FRIENDS
Wanted 10 do Certain Work and Still
Hopes for Opportunity to
Garry Out Plans

Lincoln, Nov. 4. While not car
ing to discuss at this time the politi-
cal effect of the Democratic victory
in his home state, or analyze the
causes, William j. Bryan this after
noon in an informal talk to number
of friends who called on him, ex-
pressed pleasure at the result in Me-
braska and the satisfaction it afforded
him to learn of the election of so
many of his personal and political
friends.
A delegtion of nearly a hundred
from Lincoln visited Mr.. Bryan at
Fairview to express to him their
confidence and devotion and to assure
him that such was the sentiment of a
majority of the people of his city and
state. Mr.. Bryan in response said !:
II am highly gratified over the re-
suits in this state. The national de-
feat has not been such a disappoint-
ment when we have had SO many
things to console us. | hope ! have
convinced my friends that running
for office has only been an incident to
my work. My heart has never been
set on holding office, but ! wanted to
do certain work and it looked as
though the presidency might offer
the opportunity to do that work.
l am sure that in private life ! can
have the chance to do some good.
=. 70 hal ofno a
in order to do big things, one is sim
ply required to do those things within
his reach and that much is within the
reach of each of us.
Personally, shall find as much
Joy being out of Office, if the returns
show | must be, as | would to be in
office. ! hope still to be of influence
to bring about needed reforms. | APP
preciate very much the confidence and
loyalty of the people near us. 1t has
been the greatest comfort that the
election has given us. The fact thai
those among whom we live have showr
this confidence we appreciate more
than we can tell you. 1t has beer
very kind in you to come out here ans
visit us on this day.
The defeat he sustained yesterday
did not weigh heavily on Mr. Bryan
He was one of the most cheerful O
those at his home, and laughed anC
joked good naturedly with his visit
ors.
Tonight Mr. Bryan was the CUES
of honor at a banquet of the Stat
Teachers association, where he mad
a short address. He has no other i'm
mediate plans than to rest at hom
following his canvass.

an will carry the state by small
plurality of 1000 to 5000.
MICHIGAN.
Complete returns on the national
ticket are not yet in but all the Re-
publican congressman are elected and
the state is safe for Taft.
WEST VIRGINIA.
Democrats claimed and Republicans
conceded West Virginia to be in the
doubtful column because of factional
troubles in Republican ranks, but
these seem to have been laid aside and
the state is safely for Taft with prob
able majoriy of 25, 600.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Taft's plurality in Massachusetts is
given att 10000.
Maine goes Republican by 81 ,050

Oregon and Idaho are closely allied
in the work of improving the Snake

most widely quoted meeting held dur
ing the last three months, as judged
from the newspaper columns, was the
recent session of the. Idaho and Ore

few years ago ASST stant general pas
senger agent on the Great Northern
railroad and since that time interested
of Seattle. Mr. Armstrong comes
from Racine, Wisconsin and is heavily
interested in the Sunnyside lands.
Although young man in years he has
had a wide experience in business
matters and is well fitted for the
position of assistant manager in the
company's affairs. Until his depar
ture for this state he was manager
of the Racine Refrigerator & Fixture
Co. ,one of the largest concerns of its
kind in the United States. Good judg
ment, pleasing personality and integ
rity makes him very valuable man
to the company in the handling of its
affairs. He is also secretary and
treasurer of the new organization.
Mr.. Armstrong has his family with
him and has been resident of the
city for several months: Mr. Yerkes
will move to the city at once and be-
up life among us.
The company is not giving out any
statements as to their future inten-
tic ms or policies They are having
all accounts carefully audited and the
books exported and on completion of
this work policy will be considered
and future action determined upon.
The company is offering nothing for
sale and is notifying all inquiries for
land and water rights to that effect
The work of raising the various dams
will be pushed foreward and the can
, ais will be cleaned and repaired.
, Every effort will be made to con-
serve enough water for all purposes
for the coming season and new means
of obtaining water considered. Plans
for tapping the Lime creek stream
and securing additional water is being
considered and as soon as possible
some definite action taken in that di-
rection
The confidence that is already felt
in the presence of the new company is
assuring and gives reason to believe
that Mountain Home is on the eve of
new era. No community on the
/ Oregon Short Line holds as many ad-
vantages and possibilities as our little
city. With confidece in the efforts
of the new company and their effort
to bring us through-with every man a
4 booster and a good word for the com
pany and the valley, we should forge
ahead and become the Inland Empire
of the great Northwest.

Results in the State

According to the best reports OBJ
tanable at late hour Mr.. Taft will
carry the state by about IS. 600 ma jor-
ity and Brady, Repoublican, for Gov
ernor about 1000. The Senate goes
Republican by majority of 6 and the
house 49, Elmore county electes
Democrats to both braches Of the

state ticket was elected by safe ma
jorities.

Five precincts in Oneida give Brady
600 majority.
In Idaho county the Democratic
ticket was successful all the way down
the line.

NOVEMBER 1908.

The message from Mr.. Bryan came
while Judge Taft was addressing the
general conference of the Woman S
Foreign Missionary society of the M
E. church. He received the message
on his return to his residence and
answered it at once.
The speaker was warmly and en-
Enthusiastically received by the mem
bers of the conference. Each had
provided herself with small Ameri-
can flag. The presence of Jugde Taft
was a signal for pretty demonstra-
tion. At the end of his speech he
was overwhelmed with personal con-
gratulations on his success at the
polls.
Judge Taft tonight was the honored
guest at the twenty ninth annual din
ner of the Commercial club.

magnificent depelopment through ir-
rigation is attracting international
attention, but no other city in the
United States seems to take such a
direct and personal interest in this re-
markable advance as is felt by the
business men and general citizenship
of Portland.
The Portland newspapers have
constantly kept their readers advised
of the progress that was being made.
Among recent guests at the Portland
Commercial Club was a special dele
cation composed of Messrs. James
Mcmillan, w. p. Guthrie, John F.
Hansen, George L. Crocker and H.
7, West, of Twin Falls, Idaho
They visited Portland and other cities
to get pointers on the building of a
$3.50, 600 court house. No delegation
that has honored this city in recent
years received more hearty welcome
and all the newspapers contained
elaborate accounts of the visit.

REPUBLICANS SWEEP
STATE AND NATION
Taft Elected by Overwhelming Majority but
Brady Goes Into Office on a
Close Margin.

Fairly complete election returns
indicate that Taft has won a victory
second only to the Roosevelt victory
in 1904. All the safely Republican
states are in line with the old time
majorities and several conceded by
Republicans to be doubtful are return
ing Republican majorities. 1t is not
yet certain that Taft will not have as
many votes in the electoral college as
Roosevelt had. While he will lose
two or three states won by Roosevelt
he stands show of carrying both
Maryland and Kentucky which Roose-
welt lost.
NEW YORK.
AS usual the first returns were
those from New York. Before dark
the returns began to come in from that
state and from start to finish they
We're all of a character to give cheer
and comfort to Republicans. The
first bulletins showed that New York
city as not standing by Bryan. 1t is
uually considered safe to count that
city 10000 Democratic, but the re-
turns to date indicate Bryan will do
we'll if he carries it by half that
amount with the probability that 25,
600 will be he extreme limit. The up
state vote is Strong for Taft, being
about $50, 600 with remote precincts
yet to hear from. The figures to date
make it sure that Taft carries the
or 10, l.xr IL 4
of $50, 600. The gambling element is
cutting Hughes badly and he is far
behind Taft, but will probably be
elected by a plurality Of 5000
ILLINOIS.
Illinois returns in limited way
began to come in early, Chicago being
the first to report. Though falling
far behind the overwhelming republi-
can vote of 1904, Illinois is safely for
Taft with something like IT'S, 600 ma
jority. Governor Dineen is meeting
with strong opposition but undoubted-
ly is elected.
WISCONSIN.
In Wisconsin there was no excite
ment. The usual Republican MAORI
ty was polled and the state is in the
Republican col,lmn by about 65, 900.
IOWA.
A normal Republican majority was
given by Iowa. Though later returns
may change the figures slightly in the
indications point to Republican vic
tory by from CO. 600 to rs, 600.
CONNECTICUT.
The nutmeg state was the first OF
the New England group to send re-
turns, and while the victory there foi
the Republicans was not overwhelm-
ing it is conceded to Taft by safe
majority, probably 7000
DELEwARE.
1t is not yet absolutely certain whai
ne final count will show but it is reas.
onably certain that Taft carries tn,
state by small plurality.
INDIANA.
The Hoosier state had been claimed
as sure for Bryan, and the contes
was hotly waged and Taft carries tn,
state by safe majority. The figure
are not yet complete but the majorit,
for Taft viii probably be 20, 900 Il
81, 600.
KENTUCKY.
The figures on kentucky are yer.
meager Louisville gave Taft ma
jority of 2614, but it is thought tha
Bryan will carry the state by 5000 Il

Only Four Republicans Elected to Of

maIly Republican

Unusual interest was taken in cleo
tion at this place last Tuesday The
voting started early and continued
hour for closing of the polls. The
line waiting for chance to cast bal
lot reached out of the voting room
and into the street several rods and
many were compelled to remain in the
line over an hour before casting their
ballot. Over 800 votes were cast last
Tuesday which gives some idea of
the present population of our city, and
also the loyalty of our people in TAX
ing advantage of the privilege ex-
tended to all American citizens in
casting their vote for those who shall
remain in control over the destinies
o. our nation, state and county. Only
about 81 straight ballots were cast
out of the entire 800. Many surprises
resulted and especially in the defeat
of Walt. Fountain for assessor. Mr..
Fountain was considered one of the
strongest candidates on the ticket and
when it became known that he had
+ been defeated surprise was expressed
on every hand. Walt. has made an
excellent county official and leaves a
record that he may we'll be proud of.
Mr.. Casey is bright young man and
we trust that he realizes the full re-
/ sponsibility of his new Office and will
acquit himself with credit, which we
have every reason to believe he will.
The new officers are men well
known in the community and no one
doubts their ability to serve the county
faithfully and we'll. Mr.. Miller is
we'll known and we'll liked and nc
doubt his popularity elected him tc
the office of county commissioner ovei
( Mr.. AXE
In the election of Carl A. Davis the
people reflected greater credit upor
themselves than upon the successful
candidate. Mr.. Davis overwhelming
ly defeated Rickard and led his tickef
by nearly $50 votes. He is a young
man well fitted for the responsible,
position he is elected to fill and nc
doubt he will acquit the Office at the
expiration OF his term with credit Z
himself and entire satisfaction to his
constituents. Comment on the re
mainder of the successful candidates
is unnecessary at this time as they are
too well known in the community ant
the endorsement of the people at th'
polls is sufficient.
The returns are still incomplete ant
the best we could obtain before goni
to press was the majorities by the sue
cessful candidates in the various pre-
cincts. All precincts have reported
except Smiths Prairie. Next weel
we will give a complete list of th'
returns from the various precinct
throughout the county. The major
