The City Election.

The city election, which was
held Tuesday, passed off without
any disturbance and was the
most hotly contested city election
that Cheyenne Wells has ever
experienced. This statement is
substantiated by the fact that
the entire voting population

turned out in full force, 127 votes
being cast out of the total regis
tered of 134. Those that did not
vote were prevented from doing
So on account of sickness or ina
bility.
While the result of the election
did not place in Office the entire
ticket named by the citizens eau
Gus, the representatives on the
Citizens ticket have reasons to
feel gratified in having succeed
ed in electing two out of three
aldermen, or trustees.
The combined strength of the
liquor and anti-liquor forces were
called into action to defeat the
Citizens ticket, which demon
strates the strong efforts used
by the powers behind the throne.
We bow to the will of the major

elected, we believe, will guard

improvement of our town, and
we will support them in their eff
forts to give the people a better
and cleaner town, without fear
or favor, and in these efforts we
solicit and request the co-opera-

BRYAN WILL

Declared He's Sure to DO
Secretary of State.

Washington, Nov. 20. - William J.
Bryan will be secretary Of state in the
cabinet Of President Woodrow Wilson
provided he accepts. 1t was learned
on authority that can hardly be Ques
toned that the premier post in the Will
son administration has been offered to
the Nebraskan and that he probably
will accept. Furthermore Mr.. Bryan
apparently will be one Of MI. Wilson's
chief advisers in selecting the new cab
met.
The tender to Mr.. Bryan Of the port.
folio Of state is the only cabinet matter
that has been formally settled up. to
this time.
Mr.. Bryan's interest In the next ad-
ministration can no longer be mini
mixed. For veal or woe the president
has made Acknowledgements to the
leader of the so called progressive wing
Of the Democracy by inviting him to
sit at his right at the council table and
to advise with him In forming a cabi-
net. He apparently has performed for
Mr.. Bryan the same office that Presi-
dent Elect Taft did for Philander G.
Knox four years & by Offering him
the s~ecretaryship Of state at the very
outset Of the making Of his cabinet and
commissioning him to assist in build
ing the administrative machine.
That Is the Significance that is now
attached to Mr.. Bryan's forthcoming
visit to Bermuda, which was reported
In press dispatches from Hamilton,
Bermuda, where President Wilson is
now reposing. Mr.. Bryan has been in
Washington for more than a week
While he has been very guarded In his
talks even with his personal friends, he
has conferred with many of the party
leaders, and to some Of them he has
appeared In a conciliatory attitude, adj
yising harmony and apparently show
ing a willingness to cooperate for the
