enough votes from the democratic
candidate to elect any good man the
republicans may nominate. Thus, the
question of the size of the independ-
ence vote is already playing an i'm
portant part in this years preliminary
canvass.
Experience, however, has shown thai
many men who will vote for third
party candidate in an off year, will re-
turn to their party allegiance i'm a
presidential year. Whether this will
hold true as regards the Independence
party is the question. On it depends
the fate of that organization. If it can
hold or increase it's vote over that
cast for Lyon a year ago, it will be
considered a proof that it's foundations
are more firmly established than has
generally been supposed.
Nevertheless, even should the hopes
of the Hearst leaders be disappointed.
it is conceivable that the result this
wear in New York will be so close us
to turn on the independence party
vote. There have been times within
the recollection Of very young voters
when a total poll Of $4,000 votes for
third ticket would have decided an

THAT the Interpretation of the sta

with the previous language of the pre-
siding judge OF this court, and with
the great weight of legal authority;
and, if permitted to remain unmodi-

CASE DISMISSED.
Cecil Swanson Acquitted of Charge os
Cruelty to Animals.

Cecil Swanson Acquitted Of Charge os
Cruelty to Animals.
Justice of the Peace J. ]. Huffman
yesterday afternoon dismissed the
case of Cecil Swanson, accused of
cruelty to animals, holding that the
evidence did not show any cruelty on
the part of the boy. Young Swanson
was driving a load of potatoes TO =
local produce house, when one of his
horses baked. He used his whip on
the animal and was arrested.
Andrew Swanson. father of the boy
stated today that he regarded the case
as 'hold-up.'
LAS soon as the policeman made the
hoy unhitch the team,' he said, "a hall
dozen expressmen rushed up to haul
the load on to it's destination. \
friend of mine. however, saw the boy
predicament and offered to haul the
load the rest of the day for nothing
There was absolutely nothing about
the case to warrant the boys arrest
and although we won the case it cost
us several dollars. The statement tina
the team was overworke1 was prepus-
ferrous. as was shown by the speed OF
the animals when / got them out OF

"evangelists'' admit that their argu-
ment more often appeals to former
republicans than to the more individ-
ualistic democrats.
The Hearst Independence league,
however. will recruit it's voters largely
from the ranks of the democratic par
tv and the success of the Hearst men
NAV involve the loss of New York to
BRYAN, while small Independence
party vote would mean brighter pros
meets of success for the Nebraskan.
Any attempt to compute the strength
of the Independence party in New
York must be mere guesswOrk. Signs
are not lacking that the popularity OF
Hearst among New Workers is rapidly
on the wane. but New York voters are
VIGOROUSLY tickle in their political al
legiance. and there is yet plenty OF
time for the tide to again turn Hearst
ward.
The first appearance of this party as
a. state organization was in the cam
paign of 1906. In 1906 Hearst, the
founder, promoter, and financier Of the
league. polled, as it's candidate for
mayor in New York city, 224,929 votes.
This. of course, did not represent the
strength of the party. On the other
hand. when in 1906 the league fused
with the democratic party. with Hearst
as it's gubernatorJal candidate, the
1887 votes which were all that were
polled for him under the leagues en-
fbiem were just as far from being a
measure of the party strength.
Coming down to last year,,dt is pos
sible to find a measure that is rather
more satisfactory AS the candidates
of the league, John r. McDonough and
Reuben r. Lyon, running for the Court
of Appeals against E. T. and Willard
Bartlett. nominated for reelection by
both the republican and democratic
Iparties. polled respectively 121,304 and
I114,2O9 votes throughout the state
Eliminating McDonough, who received
a considerable number of republican
votes on account Of his former stand
ing in that party, the 114.2O9 votes OF
LYON may serve as fair basis for cal
culation.
On the basis of the Lyon vote
members of the Independence party
are claiming today as many as 100000
votes in the state. Some of their more
Observation-Disclosures are contented with
claiminsIl5 $1,000. Woodruff and Ward
are using. it as an argument to con-
vince tlaslr followers and the president
that at an4 nate the independence vote
will be large that it viii draw
