BRYAN RESIGNS POST
RelinQuishes Portfolio as Re-
suit of Split with Pres.
Wilson

w. j. Bryan resigned his COM
mission as Secretary of State last
Tuesday afternoon and his resig-
nation has been accepted by
President Wilson.
The split came about by reason
of a difference in opinion between
the Secretary and the President
in the wording of the reply to
Germany's note regarding the
Lusitania affair. 1t was Bryan's
advice that the phraseolpgy of
the note be such that there would
be no possibility of duplicating
the United States in the Euro
pean war, while President Will
son insisted the policy OF "strict
accountability" be adhered to
and that the rights Of American
citizens and property be clearly
defined and protected.
The balance Of the cabinet and
in fact the entire nation are with
Woodrow Wilson in the manly
stand he has taken in the diplo-
matte adjustment of our affairs
with Germany. The fact that
Mr.. Bryan's methods and policies
differed from those of the ad-
minlstration. and such difference
lead to the Secretary's withdraw
al, will only temporarily embarass
the affairs of state as it is a we'll
known fact that for some little
time past the Great Commoner
has been acting more in the ca
pacity of a rubber stamp than as
the head of the state department.
The official parting between
Nv. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan was
expressive Of cordial relations,
and great personal regard, both
expressing regret that the differ
ence in opinion should have made
1T necessary to sever their polite
al relations.

The case of Wilbert w. Cadle,

the district court and contesting
Bakers right to hold the perma-
nent county seat of Fallon coun-
ty, will be argued before the Su-

tana on July 18th.
In the statement of the case
the following paragraph appears:
THAT the town of Baker, by
and through certain organiza.
tions, and individuals. acting for
and in behalf of the said town Of
Baker, did wrongfully. unlaw-
fully, willingly and deliberately
commit certain and material vlo-
lations or provisions Of an act
known as the Corrupt Practices
Act, initiated and passed by the
people at the general election
held in 1912, for the purpose and
with intent of influencing the
election in said county upon the
question of the location of the
permanent county seat of Fallon

that a town as a candidate for
that office would be included in
the provisions of the law as re.
garding persons. Second, it will
be decided whether or not the
statement of contest states facts
sufficient to constitute cause of
action. If it is the opinion of the
court that the case can be brought
to trial on one or more of the
eighteen grounds of contest the
case will then be brought back to
the district court and tried as in
