who live in the cities, an advan-

and add untold wealth to the pro-

lift, and make millions in money ;
they save wear and tear and

the country-bring it in touch with
the City ; they aid the social and

BRYAN IS BEATEN
 ON COUNTY OPTION

Omaha. Neb., July S.-(SpeciaI) )-Wil- liam Jennings Bryan is beaten and turned down by his Nebraska home folks" Primary elections held in 45 counties of the state today render absolutely sure the defeat of Bryan and his county op- ton fight With 29 counties controlling 1O6 votes yet to- hear from the number of delegates instructed against Bryan and county option is AS and of the un- instructed delegations, many have ex- pressed themselves as being against Bry- an. Only 444 votes are necessary to con trol and the turning down of Bryan at the state convention next Tuesday Is assured.
 Of the GA counties reporting MT. Bryan carried only five, one of these being the county in which he lives. The opposi- ton have secured 32 counties with a vote of AS.
 Bryan is expected to die hard and his enemies are looking for the greatest flight of oratory at the state convention that Mir Bryan has ever indulged in The opposition have made their plans to ignore him in every way, but will per- init him to speak as long as he Is not to be placed on any of the committees and any motion that he may make is to be promptly voted down. No answers are to be made to MT Bryan's attacks and he will not be read out of the party unless he attempts to beat the conven- tion and organize a trump as 1t has been stated he will do.

will probably be prohibition advocates. Whether they can muster the two- thirds vote necessary to secure consti- tutional prohibition is considered doubt full.
 It has been declared that should Col quitt be nominated governor MT. Camp bell will immediately urge that the present legislature, now In session, call a constitutional convention in further ance of entangling the situation and se- cure a complicated condition In the congressional contests Con- gressmen Randall and Beall have been nominated. In the districts of Repre- sentatives Gillespie, Stephens and Gregg the vote Is close and complete returns will be necessary before a result can be announced
 The others of the congressional rep resentatives are without opposition.
 United States Senator Charles A. Gull person had no opponent. He was given a large complimentary vote. As to the other state officers, a complete ticket forecast could not be obtained, based on certainty. Republican precinct con ventions were held today and selected J. o. Terrell, a democrat of San An tonio. as the nominee for governor. The democratic nomination Is equivalent to an election In Texas with republican indorsement

Dallas, July 23.-Oscar B Colquitt, anti -proh ibitionist and anti-submission- ist, will be the next governor of Texas If belated returns from yesterday s democratic primary do not turn the tide In favor of another of the four contestants for the gubernatorial nom nation.
 At the same time the proposition to submit to popular vote constitutions amendment looking to prohibition has carried.
 It is estimated that approximately S50,000 ballots were cast. For second position In the race for governor the vote Is close between William Poindexter, constitutional pro- hibitionist, whose cause was espoused by United States Senator Joseph w. Bailey, and Cone Johnson, an advocate of statutory prohibition and leader of the anti-Bailey faction.
 R. V. Davidson, who resigned as att torney general to make the race, re- ceived probably the smallest vote. He favored the submission of the state wide question to a vote of the people. He opposed prohibition.
