Great Northern Wins Tax Suit.

ST. PAUL, July l4.-Judge Lewis
today filed in the district court his
decision in the case of the state of
Minnesota against the Great North.
ern Railroad company, in which the
state sought to compel the company
to pay the 4 per cent gross earnings
tax under the state law OF 1908.
The railway company paid the 3
per cent gross earnings tax, but
claimed it a. exempt from the four
per cent tax under an agreement with
the territorial legislature of date OF
May %, 1857, by which 1t was to pay
q 3 per cent lax in lieu of all other
taxes of the kind by the state. The
railroad, in territorial days, was
known AZ the Minnesota & Pacific.
Since then the road has built many
lines and acquired others.
Judge Lewis finds that the original
lines are exempt under the charter
and agreement from paying any
greater tax than 3 per cent, but that
the other lines must pay 4 per cent.

ties of the board under the Montana
laws were defined, and the GO. opera

LINCOLN, July Alt has practi.
cally been decided that the selection

VIM. j. Bryan will be officially
notified OF his nomination for presi.
dent at his home on August IL. John
w. Kern will be notified of his nomin.
alton at Indianapolis at a date to be
determined upon later.
Lincoln is extremely happy tonight
because the formal notification of her
foremost citizen has been chosen as
the democratic standard bearer and
will take place in his home town.
Some members believed that there
would be great political advantage in
having the notification take place in
New York, while Urey Woodson was
among those who favored Chicago.
Chicago, he said, was a central point,
and the fact that railroad fares had
to be paid was q factor. But there
was no opposition to Mr.. Bry an
wish to have the scene laid in his
home city.

THREE TIMES AND OUT.

William Jennings Bryan, nominate
for the third time for the Office of pres.
ident, in 1896 received 176 electoral
electoral votes, while William Nc.
Kinley was given 27l. The Nebras.
kan, who had been unknown until he
made his cross.of-gold speech in the
Chicago convention, received q popu-
lar vote of $500. 1925. while Mckinley
was given 7,1O4, 779 votes. The Ohio
mans plurality was COL 1854. Arthur
Sewall, Bryan's running mate, re.
ceived lac electoral votes. Sewall was
not or the populist ticket, Thomas E.
Watson of Georgia having been nom.
itated by the populists who endorsed
Bryan. Watson received q electoral
votes.
In 1900 Bryan received only 155
votes, while POP electors last ballots
for Mckinley. The Ohio man received
a popular vote of 1907, 927, and Bry.
an, 6,35s, 1873, a plurality of $40, 100 for
the republican candid ate. Adlai E.
Stevenson. of Illinois, the democratic
candid ate for vice president, and
Roosevelt, the republican candida ate
for second place, each received the
same number of votes in the electoral
college as their chiefs.
Bryan lost ground in 1900, although
the populists, except SO, 900 middle-of.
the.roaders, had been absorbed by the
democracy. Most of the republicans
who had joined the democratic ranks
in 1896 because of the free coinage is.
sue, had returned to the fold by 1900.
Palmer and Buckner, the candidates
OF the gold democrats in 1896, had re.
ceived only ll3, las votes, which loss
was offset many times over by the pop.
ulist and silver republican strength:
yet Bry an failed TO be elected. If the
N%ebraskan could no: command victory
under such circumstances, can he hope
to succeed in 1905: In 1896 he was
handicapped with a free coinage issue,
but since then he has seen some of the
ideas borrowed by his party. from the
populists appropriated by the repub.
licans under Roosevelt. So-called
national issues this year will have less
effect upon results than local differ.
ences. That fact is in Bryan's favor.
The republican landslide of 1904
gave Roosevelt a momentum which, in
a small way, at least, he has impaired
to Taft. The big mar from Ohio may
lose Roadway and still have a safe
lead over his opponent. Unless Bry.
an the conservative can carry states
other than those that Bryan the radi-
cal controlled in 1896 or 1900, he cam
not be elected. There are democra ats
hopeful enough to believe that the
great commoner will develop this
strength. Judge Parker is not one of
them; in fact, the democratic optimists
this year are not particularly numer-
Gus in the eastern states. AT this al
titude it looks like three times and out

by his party aud who has given ample
evidence Of remarkable staying pow

PRESIDENTIAL

The dispatches carry the interesting
intelligence that the "muffler" has
been placed on Mr.. Taft and that from
nov until election day every utterance
OF the candidate will be carefully Gen.
sored. Mr.. Taft has already suffered
from the disposition to magnify and
distort words of presidential candi-
dates out of all proportion to their
true Significance or meaning. His ref
erence to General Grant in his Memo.
rial day speech "a made the subject
OF much adverse criticism, showing
the avidity with which in times of po-
litical rancor the opposition seizes
every pretext for Misrepresentation.
The history of presidential candida.
cies and campaigns records many dra.
matte incidents where ill.advised
u%tterances of the candidates or their
friends have contributed to the defeat
of the aspirants to the Office or the
nomination.. As far back as 1874
Henry Clay was defeated for the pres.
idency by a brief letter which he wrote
regarding the admission OF Texas,
after a skillful campaign had been
made in his behalf by his friends. But
as Mr.. Clay would "rather be right
than be president" he had the conso-
lation of knowing that he was right,
from his wi point Of view, though he
was surely disappointed. Mr.. Web.
ster's famous "speech of March g."
taking the unpopular side OF the sla-
very question, undoubtedly cost him
the nomination for the presidency and
blighted the great ambition of his
life.

Winfield Scott and several other ear.
did ates were taken in hand by their
friends and were not permitted to

toned by these friends. When Mr..
Lincoln was first nominated, Thurlow
Weed is said to have undertaken the
task of "muzzling' the Great Eman-
cipator, but he quickly gave up the
job when he found that Lincoln could
take care of himself and of every body
who opposed him, on every possible
occasion.
Heneral Hancock. the brilliant sol.
der, might have been elected had he
not given expression to his view that
the tariff vas q local issue, but this
unguarded letter covered him with
ridicule and showed his untitness for
aft airs OF statecraft.
But the most dramatic illustr alton
OF the unfortunate power of ll-advised
words was the famous sentence, uttered
by a we'll meaning preacher on the
steps OF the Fifth Avenue hotel, New
York, which defeated James G. Blaine
for the presidency In the campaign OF
1854. Three words, or possibly only
one of the ill-omened trio, cost the
magnetic statesman the highest office
in the gift Of the people.
Since the days of Burchard there
have been no repetitions of such costly
plumbers. Mr.. Roosevelt has made
many "breaks,' but he has always
escaped with an ''immunity BATH
Mr.. Bryan has rushed into declara.
lions from which he has had to IRE.

any of his several nominations. Fo,
