MR.. BRYAN AND HIS NeleHBoRs

The Lancaster county democratic
convention (the county in which Lin
coin is located met Saturday, July 20,
to elect delegates to the democratic
state convention to be held at Grand
Island, July 30. without dissenting
vote the convention adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
we send greetings to the democrats
of the nation and congratulate them
upon the good results at the Baltimore
convention in the nomination of Will
son and Marshall for president and
vice president and in the adoption of
a thoroughly progressive platform.
eve congratulate the democrats of
Nebraska that it was left to citizen
of this great state-a Nebraska demo-
~crat-to become the hero of BaIti-
more
when he saw operating in the dem
ocratic national convention the same
influences that disrupted the republi-
can national convention-the same in
fiuences that have wrecked the repub-
lean party-he threw down the gaunt-
let to the Representatives of those in
terests and in the name of the folks
at home entered upon a battle for the
preservation of the democratic party
as an instrument of real service to the
people.
Rejecting the counsel Of the timid,
ignoring the threats of the hostile, un-
mindful of the predictions of the pessi-
mist he fought what at times seemed
to be a hopeless struggle but what
proved to be the best fought and the
best won of all the convention battles
in the political history of America.
Through his splendid courage and
his matchless leadership tie conven-
tion at Baltimore was transformed
from what at one time seemed to be a
reactionary gathering-hopeless of re-
suits when it should submit its pro-
gram to the peopIe-~into a real demo
cratic convention with real democratic

Popular With Students.

Mr.. Wilson was very popular in
our class although the men who grad
uated the year previous to ours did
not like him so we'll He made them
put aside their country club ways and
work His leadership was fine alwaye
and the principles he taught in his
government classes were always for
simplification and the advocacy of the
short ballot. At that time he did not
believe in the initiative ad referendum,
but believe he has changed his views
on this subject.
Mr.. Wilson never had any sym
pathy or pity or even liberation for
moral weakness. His greatest stress
in influencing the pupils there was in
spirit, courtesy, clear thinking and in
the making of real men who scorned
untruth and laziness as they would a
pest
In his lectures he wastes no words,
speaking pure English, never over the
heads of the pupils. He puts his con
ceptions into the simplest words and
I'll tell you, he puts some pretty big
thoughts into language child could
understand

WOODROW WILSON
A REAL DEMOCRAT
Exstudent Declares Nation VIII Be
Proud Of Next President--Foe
of ArIstoeracy.

St. Louis, Mo-, July 26.-"After
Woodrow Wilson has been president. .
says George Cranmer, who has studied
American Government and Politics"
under Wilson at Princeton, the Amer
ican people will see that it is greater
drawback to the chief executive to
have been mere politician than to
have been mere school teacher
Il fully believe that If Wilson is
made president the country will feel
the force of a greater influence upon
it's moral and spiritual existence than
it has ever before felt. Think of the
change that came over Princeton un-
der his regime Of ten years. He said,
himself, when he arrived there: This
place makes fair promise of being the
most popular country club in Amer
ica' With marvellous executive ability
he made the college into one of the
most democratic and useful of any seat
of learning in the world.
Personally he is charming man,
easily approached simple in manner
and the soul of courtesy and good
breeding When he would come into
class room he would say, Gentle
men, pleasantly, courteously, familiar
Jy, and instantly every foot would
leave the desk in front of its owner
and Mr.. Wilson had undivided atten-
tion until his lecture, never long, was
over.

He Can Take a Joke.

He tells a story remarkably well
and is able to take joke, which show
that he has real sense of humor.
Stockton Axton, who was here re-
Gently, told rather interesting story
about his horsemanship. Mr. Axton
is Mrs Wilson'S brother. 1t seems
that the governors of New Jersey in
making annual inspection of the mill
tary maneuveTe at Seagirt. have been
in the habit of annually being thrown
from their horses. 1t had become
such a fixed custom that the soldiers
looked forward to the event with
mingled emotions of anxiety and glee
They stood about in groups before the
roll call talking it over and wonder
ing how the dignified Woodrow would
look sprawled upon the ground. But
Woodrow Wilson is one Of the best
riders in the country, if he does ne
glect to wear a combrero, and much
to the surprise of everyone the com
mander of the troops, who was so ner
vous for the governor, lit on his head
while the governor rode past the
troops to the everlasting admiration
of his state troops.

AT Princeton he established the pre-
ceptiona system of teaching, one of
the greatest steps in the advancement
of educational work in this country.
1t is similar to the tutelage system in
vogue at oxford There are about
100 preceptors, brilliant men of be-
tween 80 and 10 years of age. Sever
al men go at stated intervals to these
preceptors, who direct their reading
and keep in close touch with them,
studying their weaknesses, and
through informal conferences being
able to develop their particular abili-
ties, strengthen their weaknesses and
tell whether they are ready for the ex-
aminations without examining. If they
haven't done the work they cannot

COULDN'T PREVENT IT
But Strauss Says He Will Do His Best
To Win.

Syracuse, n. Y, Sept. 7.--"The nomi-
nation came to me as great surprise,
Oscar $. Strauss said as he sat i'll a se-
| cluded corner of the dining room of his
hotel last light after the adjournment.
81 did everything / could to prevent
my nomination, but it seemed that | was
detailed to lead the cause. 1t is the
came in which | am interested rather
than the Office and | shall do everything
in my power to win in order that ] may
carry out the great principles which this
movement represents"
'Do you think you will have the sup
port of both the Hotchkiss and Prender-
CAST factions?" was asked.
81 do not think it," Mr.. Strauss re-
piled positively. Il know it,
Mr.. Strauss has made no plans for his
campaign.
Comptroller VIM. A. Prendergast said
last night that he had no statement
to make regarding the events in the con-
vention this afternoon that brought
about the nomination of Oscar Strauss
for governor.
"All will say" said Mr.. Prendergast,
''is that the nomination of Mr.. Strauss
is strong one"
Speaking of the nomination of Mr..
Strauss last night, Chairman Hotehkiss
said; Providence came into the situa-
tion and led the convention. The same
thing has happened time after time since
this movement began. Mr.. Strauss and
his associates nominated last night will
certainly carry New York state this
fall"

vERMONTER SEES HOPE.
Democrats Will Win in Green Mountain
State, He Says.

New York, Sept. Felix McGettricll
a candidate for governor of Vermont ii
1902, who is said to know a great dea
about Vermont politics, has some inter.
esting comment to make on the recent
election in that state.
Il was scared when the first return.
came in, caid Mr.. McGettrick at the
Imperial hotel yesterday, because the
results seemed to indicate that Roose-
yelt had drawn heavily from the Demo
cratic ranks, but as it turned out tho
Democratic vote was 5000 greater than
il ever had been, which shows that the
party vote had increased nearly third
On the other hand the Republican vote
was split, as predicted it would be, and
fell from 10000 to 26,000 on the straight
ticket"
Roosevelt is drawing from his own
party, not from the Democratic ranks.
1t is my opinion that when they see
Taft's election is an impossibility many
Vermont Republicans will flop to Will
son in order to crush Roosevelt under
as big an avalanche as possible for being
a traitor to his party. The state cleo
ton in Vermont preceding the presi-
dental election has always been faith
full index of what was to come in the
national election"

TAFT LAWYERS TO APPEAL.
Federal Judge Denies Injunction Against
Kansas Roosevelt Electors.

Topeka, kans., Sept. Federal Judge
Sanborn yesterday denied application for
an injunction to keep the Kansas Roose-
velt electors off the Republican state
ticket. Judge Sanborn denied the in
junction in a written decision received
by the clerk of the United States cir
cult court here last in the day.
The case was brought three weeks ago
The Taft followers had obtained tenn
porary restraining order on behalf OF
men who had signed the petitions of
the eight Taft electors, defeated in the
recent primary.
Judge Sanborn, however, rules that
under a decision of the supreme court
the threatened wrongful deprivation of
citizen of his rights to vote under the
constitution of the United States by
election officials or others. presents no
cause OF action in equity for an iniune-
tion to prevent il. The remedy is at law
and not by an injunction in equity" The
Taft attorneys announced that the case
would be appealed
