LINCOLN, Nov. Especial -Opinions
differ a. to what effect the Bryan speech
last night will have on the campaign. and
many persons who were present are dis
cussing It,
Some democrats who were luSewarm to-
ward Mayor Dahlman, though opposing
county option, were outspoken this morn
ing In favor Of the mayor and against Mr..
Bryan.
Many republicans believe the effect Of
the speech will be to line up the dry vote
In Lancaster county more effectively than
Il would have been possible for the com
mittees TO have done IT,
ghallenberger democrats feel rather put
out at the speech and their objection to Il
r. that II should have been delivered In
lincoln before the primary, They say had
Mr. Bryan made that speech and de-
nouncsd Dahlman before the August cleo
ton then Governor shallenberger would
have been the democratic nominee Feel
ing that way toward Mr.. Bryan, they seem
20 feel more kindly toward DahlmRn.
Dry republicans appreciate the help the
speech will do Senator Aldrich, but they
are not pleased with Mr.. Brysn's discus
sion OF national issues nor his endorsement
OF ths partner Of defaultinE state treas
uFeE Tor Ihk9u hlHuen beEhlOIs blhuply Dt-
cause he is a democrat
Bryan's IncOnsiatency.
Mr.. Bryan's inconsistency has also been
q generous topic OF conversation during
the day. He urged the point that the dem
Ooraho party was closer to the people than
the republican party and that It has more
confidence In the people than has the re-
publican party, and for that reason he said
"a. ~.
the popular election Of United States sen.
atorH. and the Nebraska democratic legis.
lature enacted the oregon law Of electine
senators.
THE primary election law" said a demo.
crat In discussing that portion of his
speech, brought the selection Of nominees
close to the people-as close as Il cOulG l.,
brought Under that law advocated boy
Mr.. Bryan to bring elections closer to tn,
people Mayor DAhlman was nominated by
the democratic party The people selected
Mr.. Dahlman, II Mr.. Bryan believes in tn,
people why does he bolt the nominee Of hit
party2"
The immense crowd which heard Mr.
Bryan discuss the tissues OF the day" ex
pected to hear him defend county option
and in this his hearers were dlsappointe,
and many have so expressed themselve
today
Praises His Enemies.
Mr.. Bryan said the Grand Island demo
cratic convention was managed by a gam
OF brewers and their agents and then h
endorsed Mr. Hitchcock. The senatorial
nominee was the man who proposed tn
resolution which gagged the presidents
candidate at the convention. II the brewer
managed the convention these democrat
are saying they certainly operated throug
Mr. Hitchcock.
Democrats are also pointing out the
when Mr.. Bryan said the convention ha
voted down a motion to denounce count
option by such an Overwhelming majorit
he is telling only hair the truth, for b
practically the same vote his motion to en-
dorse county option was defeated.
While the republicans were not we
pleased with Mr. Bryans talk on nations
issues and his endorsement OF HltchcOel
they fell very kindly for his repudiatio
Of Dahlman. They believe the speech wi
line up the populists and the dry vol
throughout the state in favor OF Senate
Aldrlch. and they doubt that his endOrs
ment OF Hitchcock will have much, II an
sffect, for they believe that the peOp
will not stand for a man who borrowC
state money and refused to pay Il bac
because BARLEY permitted the debt to GU
law while he was in the penitentiary.
