snectal ia 1.imes-Republican,


lIldora, March 6.-Eldora proposes an
advance step in matters relative to
municipal government. For years past,
citizens of Eidora have been asked to
assume the many responsibilities of the
office of mayor, with practically no in
come attached to the office. The re-
suit has been that a large majority OF

take an office that brought to them
practically little more than abuse Sew
eral of the citizens took the matter in
hand a short time ago. and at the ses-
sion of the city council this week pc
titioned that body to affiX suitable
salary to the office of mayor. the
amount to be not less than $500. A
committee from the council was ap-
poitned to draft resolutions relative to

Votes.

Especial Washington Correspondence
Wa ashington, March 6.-The anti-Taft
republican forces are showing an un-
wonted confidence amounting to cockl-
ness. 1t is based, according to repors'
IN their Investigations which they be-
l,eve have demonstrated that Taft cam
not win. This impression that he can
not win the convention is based again
en- the belief that it can be shown ne
could not be elected if nominated. Tha'
Is the basis of the whole argument II
the opposition.
1t is insisted that the mass fight
will be disorganized by contests and
that many of the southern delegates
who will come instructed for Taft will
not be Taft men at heart, but anxious
to help bring about a situation in which
some stronger man can be nominated.
It is charged, indeed, most specifically
that some of the delegates already
name,l on Taft instructed delegations
in the south, are not at heart Iaft
men and have so notified the anti-Taft
leaders.
Uninstructed delegations will be the
demand of the opposition of Secretary
I;aft, from this time forward. They be-
l:eve hat Taft will not have within 100
votes of enough to nominate him, and
that when the delegates are together at
the convention city they will convince
,thc vravering ones, especially those
seeking the band wagon, that Tafts
weakness at the polls would be such
that ais nomination would endanger,
:)irty success

BRYAN is HOPEFUL.
Declares Democrats Can Win Regard.
less Of Theft Of Principles.


Omaha. March 6-An evening ses-
sion t'f he democratic state conven-
ton was required to finish the busi-
ness, the platform not being reached
until after the supper hour. and Bry-
ans speech not being heard until that
time The platform endorses Bryan
for president and reiterates the issues
advocated by him.
Bryan Makes Address.
Bryan entitled his speech "A Word of
Encouragement" and devoted his re-
marks, to producing evidence to show
the growth Of the democratic policies
and principles and the basis for DEM
ocratic hope.
"Our troubles" he said, used to be
to persuade republicans to accept dem
ocratic policies. Our work now is to
expos, the imitation by them Of dem
ocratic ideas and to point out wherein
they came short in their effort to ap-
propri ate democratic doctrines"
Bryan reviewed at length the course
pursued by the republicans in dealing
with trusts, tariff, capital and labor,
the Philippine question and financial
conditions, in which he charged in
AAASOAASASSSAANS
management, and added:
democrats face the future with
hope, and their hope rests on firm
grown in popularity. AS voter 1
have become better acquainted with
the evils to be remedied. Democrats
have been looking at public questions
from the standpoint of all the people,
s'1ai1s republican leaders have been
hooking at them from the standpoint of
a few. AS the strength Of the party
must in the long run be measured by
the strength Of its principles, demo-
Gratis have reason to believe their pros
poets of success have been greatly in
creased and the widespread accept
ance of democratic remedies. Another
reason for hope is to be found in the
fact that the democratic party is uni
ted, while the republican party is di-
vided, and reunion Of the democratic
party Is due to the same causes that
have brought division into republic
can ranks. The country has moved for
ward toward positive and aggressive
resistance to the encroachments of
predatory wealth, and this growth has
brought the rear ranks of the demo-
cratic party up to the firing line, while
it has separated republican reformers
from republican standpatters.
1.-The fight for supremacy in the re-
public an party is a bitter one. and
whichever side wins the other side will
be disgruntled. AS the republicans
used one faction of the democratic
party to defeat us in 1896 we shall re-
turn The compliment this year and use
one part of the republican party to de-
feat the other, for it is so hopelessly
divided it cannot be trusted to do any
thing at present.
"The third cause for hope is to be
found in the moral awakening. Never
within a generation has there been
such stirring of conscience, and a
sense Of justice inherent in the people
has been made sensitive to the demo-
cratic appeal. which is essentially an
appeal for justice. The democratic
party has been doing pioneer work, and
now it will enjoy the gratitude and
appreciation showered upon the pioneer
when character of his work is fully
under stood"

alarm but was stopped by Curran.

somebody get killed. he declared. "I'll
fight this fire myself" He fought the

ate today, Depew advocated the Aid

there was as little stock gambling in
New York city as in any other city. Ill
considered and hasty legislation, he
said, had had much to do with the
panic He personally favored a gen.
eral recasting of our financial sys-
TEN, but realizing that could not be
done at present, he was willing to ac-
cept as temporary relief the Aldrich

provided as a basis of circulation a
mass of securities that could not be
cornered and was sufficiently large.
The government guaranteed deposits,
he said would place a premium upon
incompetency and character.
