OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 3.-Probabill.
ties of a Bryan victory, with a plural.
tty of about 5000, are indicated by
early reports to-day. Republican lead.
ers refuse to admit this, and s.Hl
claim the State for Taft by 5000. Mr..
Bryan is spending the day at Lincoln,
where he voted early, and where he
will receive the returns this evening.
He declares that his election now ap.

rality for Taft of about 5000, a consid.
cradle reduction from normal, appears
probable in to-day's election. One
Democrat and one Republican con.

BUTTE, Mont, Nov. .s.-Dank guar

Denver platform are the factors which
will probably place Montana in the
Bryan column, with a plurality for tae
Nebraskan of at least 5000. Indica.
tons are that the Socialist vote Of
four years ago will be slightly reduced.

the state S too large and the polling

commission that the other infor-

him in conference with Col. Fielder.

from Col. Car: oil, the handsome son

While an unprecedented number Of

formerly monopolized by men, this
number Is large and conspicuous chief.
ly by contrast with former times.
The immense majority of women still
fulfill their chief, and, in the last
analysis, greatest destiny by being
wives, mothers and home makers. And
IL they were truthful, even the women
who live welded TO their work would

echoing, empty crowded corridors Of

them boast that escape from economic
seryltude is compensation for all the
ills of solitude, and 1t is undesirable
that the economic dependence of wom-
en- on men has produced many un-
happy marriages, making chivalry an
empty name. But there are other
slaveries besides the slavery of de.
pendence, which ceases to be, as soon
as love enters into the question, and
women have not always rid themselves
of fetters by living their own lives"

lives of service, bringing out the ma

there is a good deal of thieying in the

who row out in the wee small hours

In order to do this and most Of them
