ANSWER FOR TAFT
Bryan Replies to Republican
Candidate Regarding Atti-
I tude OF Philippines.
HOLDS QUESTION TWISTED
Accuses Secretary Of Either Lacking
| candor or Of Being lgnorsnt
on the Subject.

Denver. Colo, April 8.-"Mr. Taft
is either misinformed or he lacks cam
dor when he says changed front on
the Philippine question:" said William
]. Bryan yesterday to an interviewer,
referring to the address of the secre-
tary of war at OMAHA Monday mig hit.
"Mr. Taft undoubtedly had reference
to the statement made public while
the Paris treaty was pending before
the senate.
"The question presented at that
time. said Mr.. Bryan, was this:
Shall We reject the treaty, continue
the state of war, and force Spain to
recognize the independence. of the
Philippines, or shall we ratify the
treaty and declare our intention to, rec
ognize the independence OF the Phil
ippines ourselves?'
Had as Much Right ms Spain.
81 took the position that it was
easier for us to act alone than to force
Spain to act, and that we had as muci
right to recognize the independence
of the Philippines ourselves as t!
force Spain to do it. The senate rati
| fled the treaty and came SO near de
Gliding in favor of independence of tn
Philippines that it required the vot
of the vice president to defeat tn
resolution.
''Mr. Taft ought to explain whethe
he purposely conceals the importan
part of my plan or whether he
really ignorant of the subject"

Chicago, April s.--Ir a handto-hand
contest the saloon issue was fought
to a standstill yesterday in Illinois.
After campaign and election seldom
equaled in the state in bitterness, L.
zoo townships voted on the direct
question of the licensed saloon and
10th, sides claim a. victory.
The Anti-Saloon league leaders are
jubilant over the fact that 20 counties
voted to become absolutely anti-saloon
territory and more than 1,500 saloons
the state were voted out of business.
Estimates Vary Widely.
Estimates of the number of saloons
which must end their existence as the
result of the elections vary widely as
they come from the rival camps
Representatives of the brewers fix the
number wiped out at not to exceed
400. The anti-saloon forces declare
that not less than 1000 will have to
cease operations
The supporters of the. saloons ex
pressed themselves as well satisfied
with the result, inasmuch as nearly

they had centered their defensive

Nebraska Shows Greater Gains
for Prohibition Than Any.

VICTORY FOR La TOILETTE
Senator Captures Delegates at Large
from Home State in Contest
with Secretary Taft.

:
Omaha, Neb., April S.-Yesterday's
elections in Nebraska resulted in the
greatest victory for the anti-saloon-
lists which that party has ever won in
the state. There were elections in
every city and town, except Omaha,
and in almost every one the sole issue
was license or no license.
The prohibitionists had carried on
vigorous campaign and the result of
their work was shown in the large
vote which was cast in almost every
place. In most cases the issue was
determined by a referendum vote.
Not a single report was received
showing a town which bad formerly
been without saloons had gone wet"
while almost half the towns reporting
which formerly had been wet" had
voted to do without the saloons
Among these latter were Blair, Teke-
NAH. Herman. Alma, Arlington, Ho-
mer, David City and Falls City.
Ten of Fourteen Counties Dry.
Detroit, April Returns, which
are not entirely complete, indicate
that the prohibitionists won in 10 of
the IA counties in which fight was
made Monday. Oakland is still in
doubt, with the chances favoring the
| ''drys." The latest returns give the
prohibitionists the victory by 72 votes,
but the supervisors have been called
| in special session for next Monday
to determine the result Big celebra-
tions were held all over the county
Monday night by the "drys.'
The law abolishing saloons goes
into effect May 1, and hundreds of sa.
