and has depressed even his keenest
admirers.

brushing aside all reports of dissat.

Bryan Enthusiastic
OUer Prospects Of
Vote in the West

NEW YORK, oct. civilian
Jennings Bryan. who joined Pres't
Wilson in Pittsburgh on the presi-
way back from his trip to Chicago,
predicted an overwhelming dem
ocratic victory in November. Mr.
Bryan was fresh from an extended
speaking tour in behalf of Wilson
and Marshall along the Pacific
coast and through the mountain
states and was brimful of enthusi-
asm. He said that from his obser-
vatiOns throughout the west, ne was
confident that Pres't Wilson would
receive enough electoral votes TO as
sure victory without reference TO
the way New York went. and that
he expected the democrats to gain
four, possibly six, senators in the
mountain states.
Without exception. I found that
the audiences I addressed strongly
approved Pres't Wilson's Mexican
policy" said Mr.. Bryan. The fed
tive achievement so far as the bust
ness men of the west are concerned.
the farmers commend the president
most heartily because of the rural
credit act, while the laboring classes
have been infected with Wilson en-
thusiasm because of his success in
bringing about the adoption of the
eight-hour day.
Approve Peace Policy.
"All of these elements" continued
Mr.. Bryan, unite in warm approval
OF the foreign policies of the admin
istration. whereby peace has been
preserved with our stricken neigh
Dor Mexico, and America has been
spared the horrors of participation
in the European war. II is no idle
thing to say that the west is literal
ly afiame with sentiment for VIII
son because of the successful and
honorable manner in which he has
preserved the peace. Nor is il idle
TO say that the west regards peace as
the paramount issue of this cam
paign. and intends TO vote accord
ingly"
WI ID oil SelAh THAT lt ndu lIQu-
bitable evidence that the women OF
the west we're even more fervid than
the men in their approval of Mr..
Wilson and that this knowledge was
factor in the confidence she felt
concerning democrats success in No
vember.
Mr. Hughes may say that he is a
man of peace" said Mr.. Bryan.
but the warlike implications Of his
speeches and OF the utterances OF
his chief supporters are so clear that
any man can grasp them"
Mr.. Bryan was asked if ne thought
Col. Rooseveit's speeches were aid
ing the campaign"
Yes. Col. Roosevelt is aiding the
campaign" he replied. "He has
been of great assistance in arousing
public support Of the presidents
foreign policy. He has made a deep
pression-againot Mr.. Hughes. the
hero of the blind ley. The republi-
cans have made all of the mistakes
the democrats could have wished

U.OF v. STUDENTS
in THE TRENCHES
Annual Inspection of University Ca
Diet Corps Being Held at Madison.
(By United Press Association.)

II.
Madison, Wis, May 9.-University
students were in the trenches today
for the second day of the annual in
spection of the cadet corps of the Uni
versity made by Major Monroe McFar
land of the United States Army.
A set of trenches illustrating the
principle upon which a series for en-
trenchment of a large army would be
built were dug by the students near
the university campus
Theoretical mountains for machine
guns were illustrated and methods of
firing which do not expose the gun
ners were shown.
The method consists in supporting
the gun permanently above trench
so that a soldier needs only to raise
his hand to discharge the gun.
A periscope constructed by Lloyd
NJ. Garner, a captain of one of the
student companies, was used in the
exhibition
Barbed wire entanglements of three
kinds were shown by the students. The
wires were first strung on posts three
or four feet high in every possible d.
rectlon. They were then strung on
low stakes, high enough to trip a man
and lastly on twigs of large branches
which had been buried in the earth.
