All candidates favored Wilson's denomination Bryan

Indifference to preparedness characterized the re-
publican voters. The names OF three candidates for
president were printed the ballot. Cummns Ford

and Is an ardent advocate OF preparedness He got
the lowest vote but fraction Of that received by
Hughes whose name had TO be written on the ballot.
The failure or anybody 10 write the namo OF Roosevelt
Welt on the ballot may have significance. But
more remarkable Is the vote for Ford, who was not
candidate and who asked the voters TO refrain from
supporting him lie led the republican ticket In early
retnrna and his complete vote will probably run close
10 that OF Cunmina, avowcd candidate, with many
political friends working in his behalf. No such eS

Interpreting the Returns
Gross Currents In Nebraska

Iroas currents In nebraska
New York World Nearly complete returns from
the Nebraska primary election show that William
Jennings Bryan will not be Of the delegates al
large 10 the democratic convention and that Senator
Hitchcock, who vigorously attacked by Bryan
throughout the state viii have the approval OF the
party for reelection. The republicans have divided
their presidential preference Henry Ford sens-
tor cummins and Justice Hughes, with cummns and
Ford close together In the lead and Hughes making
strong showing in third place.
Opinions as 10 the meaning OF the election as
expressed IN many papers throughout the country
differ with the convictions prejudices and political
affiliations Of the various papers, Those who do not
like Mr. Bryan sure that he Ia once more polit-
icaly dead and will stay dead this time. The Hughes
think tho Nebraska delegation will be for him
finally The pence prove that the country IS
with them by pointing TO Mr. Ford's showing. and
this equally confident that the defeat Of
Mr.. Bryan suHtains their position.
Two elements that may have influenced good
many votes In Nebraska have been generally ignored,
Beyond question, there ARE many democrats in this
country whose first thought in considering national
issues Is that President Wilson has been right from
first 10 last and that II IL the duty Of democrats 10
support him vigorous, though unjust campaign
whH made In Nebraska 10 convince the voters that a
vote for Mr., Bryan would amount 70 n vote against
the administration, and II WAS possible to back this
position with drawn from Mr.. Bryan's con-
duct when he resigned from the cabinet and after
ward on the other hand Senator Hitchcock voted
20 table the Gore resolution and has shown no dis
position 70 break with the administration since the
currency question was settled.
further reason for Mr.. Bryans poor showing
may have been his earnest advocacy OF prohibition
lie Is about ready to mako tho democratic party a
prohibition party II he can and there arc great
many democrats who not ready 70 go with him
that mission This would tend TO offset any
strength he may have had a peace advocate. while
