the interests Of the common people
il now advocated to be necessary
for their well being and highest
good. No longer is Mr.. Bryan re-
gardcd rs an "unthinking crank"
but man whose mature opinions,
having been formed by careful study
and investigation, are worthy of the
greatest respect.
The increased admiration In which
Mr.. Bryan is held popularity needs
no argument. Four years ago, while
not nominated for the presidential
office, even his enemies went away
from the convention impressed by
the ,nrt that he was the greatest one
pre- ON, Today he stands for the
highest ideals in public life. His
own purity o. life and singlcness Of
thought has served notice upon the
world that, II elected, he can he de
pended upon to do that which is
right and which is for the best in
tcrcsts of the country, without ia
yOrs to any special class; n lover Of
the entire people and the whole IN
terest of his country.
Such are some of the things that
give grounds for the statement that
the election of Mr.. Bryan next No
vcmber is among the probabilities.
Under his wise leadership the Dem
ocratic party has II better prospect
Of success than it has had in recent
years. With enthusiasm, every
loyal Democrat and every lover Of
the whole people can throw himself
into the campaign. He is not handi-
capped by encouragement. He can
know that he has better than IA fight
ing chance. And the cause in which
he fights is worthy of his best eff
forts; it is to honor the greatest liv-
ing citizen of this country and to
bring to II successful issue the fight
of the whole people against the
favored classes. 1t is IL fight for
popular government.

Mr.. Bryan's Development.

Mr.. Bryan's strong personality,
his unquestioned honesty and sin
cerity, have largely contributed to
making him the greatest man in his
party. Since he first came into
prominence, he has continually in
creased in popular esteem. He has
also developed in many ways and is
today better equipped than ever be-
fore for dischnrging the duties of
the Office to which his party has
called him for the third time.
In lS9i, in the things advocated by
Mr.. Bryan, there was the seed; to-
day, there is the fruit. The wheat
has been winnowed from the chat.
That which was considered the high
est extent of radicalism ut that time
has been accepted as the correct
and the right thing today, with the
exception of but few things. That
which was frank anarchy" then Is
now regarded as essential to the
preservation Of good government.
That which was held to he against

to be gained without too closely
questioning the methods; the sue
ccssful man was he who had won
place and wealth. The cry raised
was not that Mr.. Bryan didno have
the truth Of the people ON his side,
but that these interests would he
destroyed and that the entire coun-
try would be thrown into panic.
"Mr. Bryan was an anarchist the
term employed to describe his po.
sitiOn.
Today the people have awakened
to the fact that morality can be in
sisted upon in the management OF
corporations; that these can be reg
ulated by law, and that violating the
law they can be brought to task as
any other offender. CT course, say
the Republicans, Mr.. Roosevelt has
brought this to pass. But IL IL not
true, in spite of their denials and
specious explanations, trat along
these and similar lines the popular
President has been tracking Mr..
Bryan, and that too in opposition to
the leaders of his own party. There
Is ground for the statement that
along many lines Mr.. Roosevelt is
bigger than his party, TINT he APP
proaches to the principles and teach
ings of the Democratic party and its
present great leader, Mr. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan stands as the apostle
Ipre-eminent of this new attitude
taken by the American people. This
great change in popular sentiment
increases his strength and pros
poets for election.

BRYAN UP EARLY.
No Signs of Disappointment Visible in
Word or Action.

F'airview. Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. Al.
though it was after midnight when he
actually went to bed, William j. Bryan
was up and doing early this morning.
So far as appearances went there was
nothing about his manner to indicate
the disappointment which he must have
felt, over the result of the election. He
greeted his callers with a smile and
scanned the morning papers for news
from states from which no definite re-
turns had been received.
Before making any statement" he
said. II want to get the actual results
in Ohio, Indiana and Kansas
For some time this morning Mr.
Bryan talked the situation over with
Rev. Father John Nugent, of Des
Moines, Ia, one of his staunchest
friends, who was a house guest over
night The two men took a brisk walk
to the trolley station where Father
Nugent boarded car to take him
down town.

Leavitt. the Nebraskan's elder daugh-
ter who still was clinging to the hope
that some report would come which
would materially change the situation.
She was in a cheerful mood, however.

'wO Democratic Representa-

Topeka voted yesterday full force,
horse, foot and artillery, and the in
dications are this morning that the
capital city gave majority of 500 for
Taft and 400 for Stubbs. The Second
ward, true to predictions, gave a large
majority for the Democrats, but it was
not enough to overcome the Republican
complexion Of the other wards in the
city.
The surprising thing of the election
here was the fact that Botkin ran
ahead of Bryan, even in the labor pre-
cincts of the city.
Schenck for county attorney carried
off everything in the way of a vote that
was not fastened and padlocked. Even
In Tennesseetown, where the negro vote
was polled in solid bunch for the Re-
publican nominees three to one.
Schenck split it up and carried off the
lions share He run ahead in the bot
toms and on the hill tops. The tough
wards and the nice wards all voted for
him. He run far ahead of his ticket
in every precinct in the city. Schenck's
victory in Topeka yesterday was fine
tribute to a conscientious, competent
official. Party lines were buried be-
meath public preference. Topeka has
again gone on record as a law and or
der city, and elected a candidate of
minority party to accomplish the re-
suit. His majority will probably be
over 1000 in the county.

ROOSEVELT DELIGHTED.
But He Declined to Come Out and
Make a Speech.

NAdtAC a. SPCCCh
Washington. Nov. president
Roosevelt was greatly elated when he
saw by the election bulletins which
reached him at the White House that
the man who will succeed him to the
presidency is William Howard Taft,
for whose election he had striven so
hard, and that the Republican party
had achieved a sweeping victory.
Wearing evening clothes and with a
pink rose in his button hole, the
president spent a short while in his
Office and then went back to the
White House only a few hundred feet
away, to be with his guests. who in
cluded cabinet members and assist
ant secretaries now in town and their
wives. and Generals Bell and Ed
wards. He went back and forth a
number of times during the evening
and it was not until a late hour that
he retired for the night.
Shortly before midnight he made
public kilograms of congratulations
which he had sent to President-elect
Taft, Vice President-elect Sherman,
Governor c. E. Hughes of New York,
Republican National Chairman Frank
Hitchcock and Henry c. Loudenslager.
At half past eleven o'clock Taft
and Sherman marching club. 200
strong, paraded up the drive past the
White House and around to the
executive offices where they con-
gregated about the door. Here they
gave three lusty cheers for Taft, for
Sherman and for Roosevelt They
then asked whether the president
would come out and make a speech to
them. He sent word out that he could
not do so. AT that moment Secretary
Garfield, who with other cabinet
officers had been with the president
in his office, came out. The leader of
the marching club pressed him into
service as the presidents representa-
tive and he said a few words to the

few bumps in the legislature, but we
will easily control that body. Our re-
turns are coming in slowly. We are
well satisfied with the outcome"
Henderson Martin. chairman of the
Democratic state committee said this
morning:
"I suppose we will have to concede
the state to Stubs and Taft. but I do
not think the majority will exceed
10000. I am not yet ready to con-
cede the legislature to the Republi-
cans. At present do not care to
make any statement concerning the
causes of our defeat"
w. H. L. Pepperell, secretary of the
Democratic committee said: I'VE con-
cede the election of Stubbs by about
10 600 and that Taft will carry Kan
sas bv about the same amount. But
we are getting some mighty favorable
renorts from legislative districts In the
Sixth and Seventh congressional dis
tricts and are carrying many districts
which we did not expect to carry. We
do not concede the legislature.

their Headquarters for the night. and

At midnight Chairman Dolley esti-
mated from the returns received that
the Republican majority for Taft and
Stubs might run as high as so 1000.
The vote throughout the state was
heavy, and there were probably over

tenant Governor Mckinley has given
Richard c. Kerens a close race and
has possibly won the nomination.
The outcome of the spectacular
fight between Governor Folk and Sen
ator Stone for the Democratic SEN
atorial nomination is also in doubt,
returns from the country districts re-
ducing the strong lead which city re-
turns give to Stone.
The count in St Louis is still in
complete, 14O out of 4o3 precincts
having not yet reported. Hadley
however, has carried the city by 12,-
900 to $4,000 and Stone by similar
figure. The entire Republican city
ticket here was elected.
Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 4.-This
morning it looked as if William S.
Cowherd, Democrat, would have to
depend upon his plurality in Jackson
county, which includes Kansas City. to
gain a lead over Herbert S. Hadley.
plurality in Jackson county is esti-
mated at from 1000 to $500, but this
may not be sufficient to give him the
state.
ST. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 4.-Herbert S.
Hadley is leading w. S. Cowherd by
1902 votes for the governorship, ac-
cording to incomplete returns from 40
counties including Kansas City and
ST. Louis. Practically the same pre-
cincts gave Stone lead of 1886 over
Folk for the Democratic nomination
for United States senator.
The returns for the Republican
nomination for senator with 20 coun-
ties heard from give Lieutenant Gov
ernor Mckinley S.246 to 1852 for R.
C. Kerens and 1856 for John Kenish.
OF Hadley's lead in the race for gov
ernor, he gets about IL, 900 from 323
of the 493 precincts in the city of ST.
Louis. and 2,400 from st. Louis
county.
st. Louis, Mo-, Nov 4-Incomplete
returns from so counties in Missouri
show that Taft is leading Bryan by
about 1000. In st. Louis 246 out of
403 precincts give Taft 41,0S4; Bryan,
1886.
Incomplete returns from Sc coun-
ties and the city of St Louis give for
governor: Hadley. Republican, 13O,-

complete give for United States SEN
ator: Stone, 1880; Folk, 1892.
IDAHO.
Boise, Idaho, Nov. 4.-Tafts plurality
in Idaho may reach 5000. Late returns
indicate the election of James H. Brady
Republican, for governor, by three to five
thousand. The legislature is Republi-
can on joint ballot but the Democrats
may control the senate. The entire
Republican state ticket is elected.

Bryan carried about the same states
this year he carried in 1900. His cleo
toral vote this year shows some in
crease over that of eight years ago.
In 1900 he received 155 electoral votes
this year 1S5. He has lost Idaho, 8
votes, which he carried in 1900 and
gained Nebraska, votes, and Okla
homa, new state, votes. Other changes
are due to increase in electoral votes
in states.
were the reelection to congress of
Speaker Cannon and Chairman Serene
e. Payne of the house committee on
ways and means, and the probable re-
election for a third term of Governor
John Johnson, Democrat, in Minnesota
which state nevertheless returns a pl1r-
aIity for Taft of probably upward of
$4,000.
1t became early evident that Thos.
l.. Hisgen, candidate of the Independ-
ence party, had received comparatively
meagre support and that his vote would
not materially affect the result. Little
was learned early today as to the mag
nitude OF the socialist or prohibition
votes.
WEST VIRGINIA.
wheeling, w. Va, Nov 4.-West Vir-
ginia is this year one of the doubtful
states. the vote this morning indicat-
ing an almost even break between Taft
and Bryan, with the Democratic can
didate having less than a score of votes
the better Of 1t. For governor there
seemed little doubt that Bennett, Dem
ocratic. had been elected by a plurality
OF several thousand, although his vote
will not greatly exceed that of Glass
cock. his Republican opponent.
MISSOURI.
st. Louis, Mo, Nov 4-Missouri
which last night had apparently gone
Democratic by a large majority, is
still in doubt on all but the national
ticket and the plurality of $4,000 for
Bryan, which was then indicated, has
been cut by late returns so that it
will not exceed 10000. The Re-
publican managers are confidently
claiming that Attorney General Had
ley has been elected governor over
William S. Cowherd and though the
Democrats still claim that Cowherd is
elected, late returns from the city of
st. Louis and from the country pre-
clncts indicate that the vote is ex-
tremely close and that the plurality
may not exceed 5000 or 1000 either
way.
The complexion of the next legisla-
ture. which will elect a successor to
United States Senator William 7.
Stone, is also in doubt and the Re
publicans hope to control that body on
| joint ballot
Returns on the Republican SEN
atorlal primary are extremely meager,
but the late indications are that Lieu

An Ideal Day.

Considering that this is the day
after, Weatherman Jennings has pre-
sented an ideal day for the receipt of
the joyful, or sad news, as the case
may be, of the election returns of the
country. It's really October weather
slightly delayed but October weather
of the most pronounced type and as
welcome as it would have been two
weeks ago. While the day appears
dark and gloomy to many who pinned
their faith on losing candidates, the
sun in reality has shown bright and
warm since early morning and there
has not been a cloud in the sky at
any time. Fair and warmer weather
is promised for tonight and Thursday.
The following were the temperatures
during the day, commencing at z
