Lincoln. Neb.. Oct. 5-"Hello, Mr.. Bry-
an! Hello. Mr. Bryan"
Welcome. welcome Governor
These words and a cordial handshake
brought together here tonight fer the
first time since the national campaign
opened the Presidential nominee Of the
Democratic party and the man who three
times was the standard bearer Of that
party.
AS the Governor stepped from the end
of his private car almost into the arms
Of Mr. Bryan there was a din of cheers.
Governor Wilson and Mr.. Bryan finally
made their way to a waiting automobile,
and to an accompaniment of factory whis-
ties automobile horns and bands, they
rode together through crowds which lined
the streets for blocks. There were cries
Of Bryan and Wilson" and Wilson and
Bryan" Mr.. Bryan himself returned
only to-day from a speaking tour OF six
weeks through the West in the interest
of the national Democratic ticket.
The crush to shake hands with Gov
ernor Wilson blocked the movement Of
the machine. The Governor at first sat
beside Mr.. Bryan, but the latter sug-
gested that he stand UP in the machine
throughout the parade. Mr.. Bryan sat in
conspicuously behind him for an hour,
his face wreathed in smiles. as Governor
Wilson was kept busy waving his hat in
acknowledgment Of the cheers.
This Is great" said the Governor as
he turned toward Mr.. Bryan frequently.
Fine, fine" was Mr.. Bryan's reply.
II was a strenuous day for Governor
Wilson. His reception in Omaha, where
he made five speeches, occupied almost
every minute Of the time from a. m
TO 3:45 D. m. Democrats OF every faction
In Nebraska harmonzed In the welcome
Senator Hitchcock, Mayor Dahlman Of
Omaha and others who mad opposed the
nomination OF Governor Wilson at Baltl-
more took part In the demonstration.
Governor Wilson slept peacefully last
night through a train accident in which
his own car was slightly damaged. A
freight locomotive "sideswiped" the rear
cars OF the train. splintering an observa-
ton car and damaging the sleeper in
which Governor Wilson was reposing. The
candidate did not know OF the accident
until this morning.
Governor Woodrow Wilson promised big
crowds OF workingmen in Omaha that II
he were elected President he would have
a minister OF labor In his Cabinet.
The Governor referred to laws that
should be passed to safeguard human life,
shorten the hours OF labor and otherwise
conserve the energy OF the rank and tile
OF the country. saying:
| ran on a platform in New Jersey that
promised these things, and am happy
TO say we carried out every promise we
made / understand what the increase In
sociallstic sentiment means. IL does not
mean merely an interest in social pro-
grammes, but men have made up their
minds that nobody will pay any attention
to them. Therefore, the great national
parties have got to make good on that
ST ie or go out OF business. | express the
hope that II the Democratic party breaks
its promises 1t will never be trusted again.
At Creighton University, Omaha, the
Governors appearance was the signal for
Princeton and Creighton College yells ana
the glee club sang "Old Nassau"
