BRYAN DRAWS CROWD .
1900 to 1000 People Come to De-
corah to Hear Peerless Orator.
SPEECH Is a DISAPPOINTMENT.
Unable to EXtOl Cause of Democracy
He Spends Time in Attack
UDOn Republican
Leaders.

In spite of the bad roads and the
early hour for which he was adver-
Itised, which kept large numbers away
from the city, William j. Bryan
thrice democratic candidate for
president of the United States, was
listened to by a large crowd of peo-
pie on Saturday morning, variously
estimated at from 1900 to 2,00O
people. He came 10 Decorah from
st. Paul via New Hampton, whence q
special train brought him here and
took him through to Des Moines
making several stops for speeches en-
route.
The train did not arrive here until
nine O'Clock, and was met at the
station by the Luther College Concert
Band and the Decorah Merchants
Band, together with large number
of prominent democrats of this sec
tion and citizens generally. He wa!
escorted to the Winneshiek hotel fol
breakfast, during which a male
quartette sang some appropriate
songs, after which he was conducted
to the stand which had been erected
in front of the court house square.
Prof. l.. S. Reque of Luther Col
lege introduced Mr.. Bryan in a few
fitting remarks, after which Mr.
Bryan entertained the crowd with his
oratory and his funny stories fol
forty minutes. His speech, instead
of being devoted to the issues anG
problems of the nation, consisted oi
a consideration of the three leading
candidates for the presidency. He
had little to say about Mr.. Taft
except that he was personally fine
man, and would not willingly do
lanything wrong, but was handicapped
by conditions and therefore could not
make the best president. He scored
Roosevelt untNercifully, reeitinS the
iwelI known circumstances LEADING
up to his organizing the new party
and said that the first time anyone
knew he was progressive republican
was when he was named for the
presidency, and that the only good
things in his platform were taken
from the democrats He said but
little about Wilson, but spent his
time keeping the crowd in good
humor and excoriating the other two
candidates. 1t was said on all sides
that he made no votes for his party
by his speech. Nevertheless, every.
body comedies that he is one OF
Americas greatest orators, and il
was a pleasure to hear him and an
honor to Decorah to entertain him
He left at 1910 for New Hamp-
ton, Charles City, Mason City, and
Des Moines. where he made speeches
the same day.

Voter, keep this in mind, A
vote for Roosevelt is a vote for Will
son, vote for democratic free trade
hard times. A vote for Mr.. Taft is
a vote for the republican party. the
party of stability, of progress. OF
prosperity.

sured the reporter.
Although tho Democrats have been In
Office two years. they left many exempt
positions 10 the Republicans. In the be-
lief that possibly they might not be
returned. In that case they could con-
sstenty ask the Republicans to pro-
tect the Democratic ofiiceholders. but
in the face Of the victory OF last Tues

called on TO recognize any such pre-
cautions.
The salaries OF these Republicans VIII
amount TO at least 100000 year The
Republicans are particularly numerous
in the exempt positions in the Public
Service commissions. In the first DIS
trict are thirty-seven exempt positions

exempt Offices, with salaries of about
$4,000. Then there are the depart

uraIlv he retained most Of the en-
ploves who were under him during the
Hughes administration. In his depart

With Leg and PeIvis Bone
Broken He Climbs TreStIe
from River.
SPENDS HOUR IN WATER
Rushing Train Sends Him Into
the Hackensack, and Cries
Are Finally Heard by
Fishermen.
by Telegraph to The Tribune.I J

Passaic. y. j., Nov. John Hughes,
commuter from New York, after an
exciting adventure finally landed in st.
Mary's Hospital here tonight with a
broken right leg and a fractured pelvis
bone lie is also suffering from shock
and exposure incident TO a fall into the
Hackensack River
Mr. Hughes started for his home, at
No "a Prospect Place, Rutherford, on
sn Erie train late this afternoon. For
some reason the train stopped at the
Hackensack River, and. thinking he
was at the depot, Mr.. Hughes got off.
AS he stood. looking about him, the
train suddenly started off and left him.
There was nothing for him to do
except TO walk TO Rutherford, two and
one-half miles away, and he started
across the trestle. He had not gone
half the way, when a New York bound
train came bearing down upon him,
He stepped to one side Of the narrow
trestle. intending to let the train go by
But as he stood on the end Of cross
tie. the rocking Of the bridge, as the
cars thundered by, caused him to lose
his balance, and he fell twenty feet
into the river.
In falling, he struck beam end, and
his leg and pelvis bone were broken.
But 1t was not until he had gone down
under the water, come up again, and
tried TO swim that he realized his in
turies. He fioundered about in the
water, with all his strength trying to
get close to the trestle struts.
At last, almost exhausted, he man.
aged to cling to a pile, and hung there,
half in the river, for an hour or more.
He called weakly, but no help came.
with a courage born Of desperation, he
began to climb up the strut one leg
hanging useless and his body racket
with pain from the break in the great
bone at his hip line.
Climbing, and stopping every minute
TO call for assistance. somehow he
pulled himself TO the top Of the trestIe.
God knows how ! did II" he said
10 the doctors tonight.
AS he hung in a semi conscious con-
dition. some of his cries were heard by
fishermen in the river, and they rowed
70 the trestle and climbed up and
rescued him. They tagged a train on
the bridge and put Mr. Hughes aboard,
and he was taken to the hospital The
injured man is fifty-four years old and
married.

Doubt as to tie Presidential vote
winner In three important states =
Illinois. California and Minnesota was
the feature Of the election analysis yes
terdsy. That question overshadowed
the interest in the popular vote tables
which for the first time began to take
something near accurate form.
At midnight it seemed certain that
woodrow Wilson had safe lead over
Colonel Roosevelt in Illinois, and that
the third term candidate might re-
gain his running mates state, Califor-
MIA. BY a scant margin. Minnesota
Z vas safely in the Roosevelt column
wyoming still hung between the Pres
ident and Wilson. with the advantage
in wilson's favor. Kansas seemed as
suted TO the Democrats by five figure
plurality.
The shifts in the electoral votes now
give Wilson 426 practically certain;
Roosevelt, y, and Taft surely II. with
possibly three more from Wyoming
Wilson Not Popular Choice
such ngures as are obtainable on the
pepular vote indicate plainly that VIII
SOL will not get a majority OF the total
number cast. Four states have tabu-
lated their Connecticut, Geor-
gia. New Hampshire and Vermont In
many states the popular vote has oeeh
only roughly estimated thus far, but
thu reports Indicate that the combined
vote Of Roosevelt and Taft will be ap-
proximately 100000 more than the
vote for Governor Wilson.
The figures will be materially
changed by the final count. but 1t is ex-
pected that the proportion for each can
ddate will not vary greatly. The pre-
liminarv count gives Wilson approx
matelv g. per cent Of the vote; Roose-
ven. % rer cent. and Taft. 26 per cent
The total vote thus far reported Is
less than in 1908, while the official re-
turns are expected 10 bring 1t above
those figures. In 1908. out Of COM
blned vote Of 14,O3O.S5S cast for Taft
and Bryan, President Taft received
more than 81 per cent.
Many States Republican.
More complete figures available show
that many states which gave their cleo
toral votes to Wilson remain loyal 10

shire, for instance, will have Repuo-
lican Legislature, which will elect a
