NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS DON'T

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 3O.-What is to
Republicans don't want him. and he
can not come back into the Demo-
cratic party. Although he welded
power sufficient to turn many votes
away from the Democratic candidates,
he did not have the power to elect any
of the candidates for whom he can
vassed the state And the friends and
supporters of the defeated candidates,
from Dahlman, defeated Democratic
nominee for governor down to the
most insignificant village candidate,
are bowling for Bryans political blood.
There is a United States senator to
be chosen in Nebraska at the January
session of the Legislature. And there
is a Democratic Legislature which will
make the selection. But Bryan will
has been chosen by a majority six
times as great as Mr.. Bryan received
i'm 1908. If Bryan should announce
himself candidate for the senate and
appeal to this Legislature to elect him,
he would not receive half dozen
members of that body.
For a year Bryan's popularity In
this state has been on the wane. Each
and every step he has taken in that
time has seemed to make him more
and more unpopular. He has anita
gonized politiacl friends by the hun
dreds, and even his longtime per-
sonal friends have been alienated in
great numbers.
In the campaign just finished Bryan
deserted friends of twenty years
standing and did what he could to
cause their defeat. But the men who
were elected are not his friends Even
the lone Democrat who carried the
state by such a handsome majority
is not a friend of Bryan's now. He was
successful, not because of Bryan, but
in spite of Bryan. Three times in

notable debutante Of the Washington
season. and the youngest White House
society girl ever known, with the ex-
ception of Miss Ethel Roosevelt. who
was formally presented TO society
when she was seventeen.

Miss Taft is a splendid type of the
American Girl. She Is extremely
pretty. with great masses of brown
hair and large blue eyes. clean-cut
features with a slightly tip-tilted nose
and upturned mouth. She is free Of
affectations-a perfectly natural girl.
Last season she appeared occasionally
at informal functions, but was never
present at state functions until the
dinner given by the President TO a
Japanese prince and his suite shortly
before the Taft family left for Beverly
last summer Mrs. Taft was unable
TO preside as hostess, and so the
daughter OF the house filled the role
with grace and ease.

outdoor sports Tennis is her favorite
game. She also indulges in golf. and is

In addition to having completed her
sophomore year at Bryn Navy in
June with high honors. the Presidents

al advantages of travel in Europe and
other parts of the world. In fact, il is
to be doubted IL there is another young
woman of her age in the entire coun-
try who has travelled more extensively
over the world. She became thor
oughly acquainted with the Philippines
during her fathers residence in the
islands and accompanied him one one
of his globe girdling tours, visiting

States have also been unusually extern
