The above is just one of the great
number of interesting and telling
statements made last night by Hon.
Seaborn Wright, brilliant southern
orator. member of the Georgia legis-
lature for the past % years ana TO
whose remarkable work and cam
paiening is due to large extent the
prohibition and dry conditions that
prevail in Dixie land today
II is most unfortunate that the ser
les of meetings held in this city by
this noted leader of a great move
ment should have occurred at a time
when the weather has acted worse
than it has in many years. The
weather was most inclement on each
of the three nights of the meetings
and on yesterday afternoon, and, as
q result, the attendance fell far pc
low expectations and very far, IN
deed, below what 1t would nave Deen
had the weather been fine.
Had the weather been good last
night the Auditorium would proba-
bIv have been crowded to the doors.
AS 1t was, some four hundred people
braved the elements and heard re-
markable address by this remarkable
man.
On Saturday evening and yester-
day afternoon, in spite of the rain
that was falling, fair-sized crowds
greeted Mr.. Wright and heard two
strong addresses.
Seaborn Wright is one of the most
charming speakers ever heard In this

We have heard of a few people
getting down to this low level of
abuse concerning Mr.. Bryan. they
have been very few. however, always
people not only hating Mr.. Bryan
from political standpoint but hav-
ing some other grudge against him.
Never were ranker stories circulated
and no person dare circulate such
stories in Lincoln. Irrespective of
party affiliations, the Bryan family
has for many, many years been the
most honored and respected family
in Lincoln. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike in his home city love to
do honor to Mr.. Bryan and his fam
lily, excepting of course a few indi-
viduals, such as can be found in any
community. who are too narrow to
acknowledge the standing of people
they do not like politically. We have
heard leading Republicans of Lin
coin declare that the Bryan family
is one of the finest and most ideal
family groups ever known in Lincoln
and nothing could speak higher of
the worth of the man than the splen-
did esteem and regard in which he
and his family are held by their
neighbors, acquaintances and home
people and not merely in the general
sense that we know the Bryan fam
lily. The Commoner himself has no
higher station in the hearts OF his
home town people than has Mrs.
Bryan, one of the sweetest and
brightest OF women.
1t is hard to understand how oc-
casionally some person claiming to
know what he or she is talking about,
will give utterance to such stories.
Not long ago the leading Republican
paper of Lincoln run across such
stories told by narrow minded poll
teal enemy of Mr.. Bryan and the
way that paper went after the indi-
yidual and denounced such talk, was
terrific, and ended by paying tribute
to the high standing and ideal ma
ture of Lincoln's most distinguished
family. But after all isn't the charge,
why they are just common people,"
a genuine tribute to any man or,
family?

These few simple words, uttered
by members of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers who were dig
ging in the tons of coal for him,
spoke volumes. No higher commen-
dation could be uttered by the rail-
road men. They vindicated him
from all charges of cowardice
old Missouri" was the sobriquet
by which Engineer Lofts was known
all over the Rio Grande system. 1t
clung to him ever since he came to
Utah from Joplin. Mo-, his old home,
nearly ten years ago. 1t was a title
of admiration and loving respect for
no more popular, trustworthy or
competent man ran over the rails
The finding of Lofts body at
l2:O5, close to his battered engine,
proved that the confide ence of all his
fellow employees in his bravery was
not misplaced. They maintained
steadfastly ever since he was missed
that he did not run away to escape
the responsibility of the catastrophe.
They Indignantly refuted all asser-
tions along that line. They main
tanned that fear was unknown in his
makeup. Their faith in him was
vindicated.
f. L. Cowan and Albert Higgins,
two Rio Grande engineers, discover
ed his lifeless body, face down, un-
der covering of coal, six inches
deep. He had been trapped and
crushed by the coal out of his own
engine tender as he jumped to escape
the smash-up.
Say He is Nindicated.
His body was found on the left, or
fireman's side. of his engine, which
was going east. He was lying in
diagonal position with reference to
the rails, his feet only few yards
from the track. He was either stun
ned as he jumped and fell or was
stricken down and crushed under the
avalanche of coal.
His left shoulder and collar bone
were broken, his face and body bruis-
ed and scratched. Anxious searchers
had been over the spot where he was
buried many times over during the
fifty-eight hours of digging and pry-
ing among the ruins. His engineers
cap was first found and that gave the
intimation that his body was in the
vicinity.
Proof that Lofts obeyed his orders
and was not responsible for the crash
is furnished by his watch, so his rail-
road coworkers assert. 1t was stop
pea AZ 90 o CLOCK Wednesday morn
ing. His orders were to remain at
the siding until 2:30 and then start
out. This he is now believed to have
done. Early reports that the collis-
ion occurred at 2:25 are declared to
have been refuted by the testimony
OF the dead mans watch.
Mr.. Lofts body was placed in a |
baggage car and carried to the Salt
Lake depot on the rear of a freight |
train.
The funeral took place yesterday |
in Salt Lake City.

NOTED ATTORNEY
SEEKS THE BENCH
Frank R. Devlin a Candidate for
Superior Judge of Solano
County
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

VALLEJO, Aug. 8.-Frank r. Devlin,
assemblyman from this district and
state president of the Lincoln -Roose-
welt league, has announced his candi-
dacy for superior judge of Solano
county, subject to the approval of the
republican nominating convention.
Devlin began his political career in
1894 as district attorney of this county,
his services being so eminently salts
factory that he was returned to the Of
fee for a second term in 1898. In 1902
he retired to private life in order that
he could better care for his law prac-
tice, which required his entire time.

by every one for his absolute honesty
of purpose and impartial dealing.
In 1904 he was nominated for the
assembly in this district, and elected
without opposition. His excellent serv-
ice toathe state is well known.
That Devlin is fully qualified for the
highest office in the gift of the people
Of Solano county is not denied by any
one. He well deserves the Office for tho
valuable services he has rendered the
county and state, and if he receives the
nomination his election is assured.

SEABURY SCORES
TACTICS OF HEARST
New York Supreme Justice
Quits the independence
Party in Disgust
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Supreme Court
Justice Samuel Seabury, generally rec
ognized as the strongest single figure
in the political movements headed by
William r. Hearst, whose forceful eff
forts contributed materially to the
large vote polled by the municipal
ownership league and the independ-
ence league in 1905 and 1906. has with
drawn from the independence party.
He believes that Bryan's failure to
support Hearst's candidacy for the
presidential nomination In the demo-
cratic convention at st. Louis in 1904
does not justify Hearst in using the
organization of which he is the leader
to injure Bryan
In a dictated statement Seabury
says: I'm the history of American poll
tics there has never been a national
convention that was less independent
and which was so completely domi-
mated by one man as the convention of
the so called independence party.
Every element of independence was
ruthlessly stamped out.
Mr. Hearst polled a great vote in
1905 and 1906 because many believed
that he stood sincerely for the policies
he advocated. It is unfortunate that
he has come to regard this vote as a
purely personal asset which he is free
to use to promote his own ambition or
to crafty his own desire for personal
revenge"

SAN ANSELMO, Aug. S.-A stormy
session marked the meeting Of the re-
publicans who came together last night
at San Anselmo to nominate delegates
for the county convention to be held at

of two votes the forces led by Judge

republicans to riot and for the time be-
ing at least Bouick is in control of the
situation
