TRAVELLING MEN
TALK FOR BRYAN
NOW FAVOR NEBRASKAN
THOUGH FORMERLY OPPOSED
Five Out of Seven in Group at Hotel
st. George Declare Preference for
Democratic Candidate Though Re-
publicans Themselves - Sentiment
Significant, Typifying Change of
Heart Towards Bryan.

If the sentiment among travelling
statesmen is a good index to the po-
litical situation. and it is generally
considered such, William Jennings
Bryan will be elected president.
During the past few weeks the
travelling men who have visited Pen
dleton have INDUCED in much talk
upon the presidential race and they
disclose an astonishingly strong feel
ing in favor of Bryan's election.
Tuesday evening a group of seven
representative statesmen were gather
ed in the lobby of the Hotel st.
George and a discussion of the politi-
cal situation arose. Immediately five
out of the seven present announced
themselves as favorable to Bryan.
though most, if not all of the five de-
clared they were republicans. Had
straw vote been taken at the time Bry-
an would have been elected by an
overwhelming majority.
Aother incident which likewise
showed the feeling in which Bryan
Is held by travelling men occurred at
the st. George a few days ago
At the time a bunch of five knights
Of the road weer gathered in front of
the hotel waiting for train No 1. The
subject of politics was raised by a
local man present, a republican. and
he was surprised to find every trav-
cling man in the crowd TO be a pro-
rounced advocate of Bryan.
Among those who watch the politi-
cal zone closely the friendship in
which Bryan is now held by travel
ing men is considered significant. In
the former elections when Bryan was
a candidate he was generally opposed
by the travelling men and the change
of heart they have undergone is but
typical of the different light in which
Rryan's candidacy is now regarded by
the business interests in general.
