Chicago, July 5.-Democratic lead

tends to follow the sphynx-like eX-
| ample of Colonel Roosevelt by refus-
ing to discuss political affairs when,
on june Goth, he landed at Quebec
from the Royal George, Of the Canadi-
an Northern's new Royal Line Of
steamers plying from Bristol, Eng
land. Mr.. Bryan, accompanied by
Mrs. Bryan, was returning from Edin-
| burgh where he attended the worlds
missionary congress. They sailed
| from Bristol on June 23, and were in.
| touch by wireless with Quebec for two
days before landing. The Nebraskan
| parted all questions of a political
nature with comments upon the great
| good tina would result from the mis-
sionary meeting, and praises of the
| upper ST. Lawrence. this being his
first trip up the river. He remained
in Quebec for III evening and at mid
night took the train for Montreal. Az
| ter a day in the latter city he hur-
ried home to Lincoln. Illinois demo-
| Gratis, especially that wing represent
| ed by Sullivan and his followers, are
| anxious to know whether Mr.. Bryan
intends to become q candidate for the
United states senate in Nebraska this
| fall, or whether he will stand aside
to make way for his friend, Congress
man Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock of Omaha.

torial matter may have a decided eff

ocrats toward the boom of Governor
Harmon of Ohio, for the democratic
nomination for the presidency in 1912.

The deserters said they hated TO

tourists were winning a t%houslnd
votes a day for the cause Of equal
suffrage. This campaign is unique
in other aspects besides the fact that
the speakers are all women and are
touring the state by automobile in
stead of by train. They are utilizing
conditions in the rSnks of the demo-
cratic and republican party, as argu-
ments for woman suffrage. and are

The Biblc-any version of it-and
all religious hymns. and prayers have
