BRYAN is CHEERFUL
In HOUR OF GLOOM
One is Not Required to Be in Office to
Do Big Things Was Statement
He Made to Friends.

Lincoln, Neh., Nov. 5--While not car.
ing to discuss at this time the political
effect of the Democratic victory in his
home state or analyze the cause, vii,
liam J. Bryan in an informal talk to
number Of friends who called on him
expressed his pleasure at the result in
Nebraska and the satisfaction afforded
him TO learn Of the election Of so many
Of his political and personal friends
A delegation numbering nearly a
hundred from Lincoln visited Mr.. Bry-
All at Fairyiew 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 responding said
II am highly gratifed over the re-
suits in this state. The national defeat
has not been such a disappointment
when we have had so many things to
console us / hope | have convinced my
friends that running for Office has only
be en- an incident TO my work. My heart
has never been set on holding office, but
| wanted to do certain works and it
looked as though the presidency might
offer the opportunity to do that work.
am sure that in private life | can
have the chance TO do something. One Is
not required to hold Office in order to
do big things; one is simply required
10 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 be in office. |
hope still to be Of influence to bring
about needed reforms. | appreciate
very much the confidence and loyalty
of the people near us II has been the
greatest comfort that the electan has
given us. The fact that those among
whom we live have shown this conf
dence we appreciate more than | can
tell you. II has been very kind in you
to come out here and visit us on this
day.
The defeat he sustained Tuesday did
not weigh heavily on Mr.. Bryan. He
was one Of the most cheerful Of those
at his home and laughed and iolSed
good naturedly with his visitors. Last
night Mr., Bryan was the guest Of hon
ol at the banquet Of the state teachers
where he made a short
address. He has no other immediate |
plans than to rest at home following
his canvass.

On Proposal to Abolish State Board Of
Agriculture.

The meeting OF the farmers Of The
legislature, which is fecoming a regular
weekly event during the session, was
held last evening at the cloak room Of
the State House, with a large number
present, The first topic taken up for
discussion was the bill now under con
sideration in the House for the aboli'
tion Of the board Of agriculture and the
appointment Of q commissioner OF az.
rlculturo who shall take charge Of the
agricultural interests Of the state and
issue bulletins, crop reports, etc, and
IN fact have general supervision OF the
educational side Of the farming inter.
cfts OF Vermont.
A. +. Bigelow Of the experiment sta
tion at Burlington, spoke at length In
favor Of the bin and urged the farmers
in the legislature TO exert their in
fluenee to pass the measure, as he
claimed II would be almost invaluable
20 the majority Of the population of
this state, which is largely made up Of
agricultural interests.
Prof. j. l.. IIill also Of the expert.
ment station, gave quite an address on
the same subject and expressed himself
as being most heartily in favor Of the
bill, not merely because he was the
original promoter Of the idea, but be.
cause he thought that il was for the
best interests Of the great mass of
farmers who constitute the common
wealth Of Vermont. He is in favor Of
term Of Office for tho Commissioners OF
agriculture, If one Is appointed, Of more
than two years, the term Of the pres.
ent board Of agriculture, for the reason
that the time is too short for a man
10 familiarize himself with the needs
Of the people and make siipitable ar
rangements for the betternent Of pres
ont conditions other gentlemen who
spoke on the question were Mr. Smith
cf Morrisylle. Mr.. Davis OF Springfield.

HADLEY, REPUBLICAN,
ELECTED GOVERNOR
If To-day's Estimates by Re-
publicans Prove True Taft
viii Have 327 Votes in
Electoral College,

New York, Nov. Slate returns from
Missouri, which was supposedly Demo
cratic, indicate that William II. Taft
may have carried that state, in which
case his vote in the electoral college
would be 327. If Bryan lost Missouri
his electoral vote would be l56. only one
more vote than he secured in 1900, when
running against Mckinley.
The returns from Missouri are as yet
incomplete, but Taft was leading Bryan
by trine less than one hundred votes.
Missouri has eighteen votes in the cleo
toral college. Yesterday Il was quite
generally conceded that Bryan had car
ried Missouri, but with the returns of
last night there was a decided reversal.
Hadley, Republican, carried the state for
governor
Maryland is still in the Republican
column, but by considerably reduced plu-
rality over the estimates Of yesterday.
The plurality is now set at l49
One of the remarkable features of the
election was the disposition of western
states to cast their national votes for
Republicans and select Democrats for
state officers.
This was particularly true of Ohio,
Indiana and Minnesota In the first
named the plurality for Judge Taft is
estimated conserYatively at 10000, while
ex,Attorney General Judson Harmon was
elected governor BY not less than 10000,
In Indiana the plurality for the presi-
Dental candidate was in the neighbor-
hood of 10000 while Marshall, Demo
crat, was chosen governor by about twice
that figure. Gov. johnson was reelected
in Minnesota, while the state gave Taft
at least 10000 plurality.
