the same results,' It Is a wonder that
the people generally' gave 'Mr." Bryan

the present race. Nevertheless Mr,
Bryn has a ( wonderful personality

The people flocked by the thousands
( to hear h!m and there Is no disguising
the fact that there 'was an element of
uncertainty all through this campaign

wagers were all placed on tremendous
odds against Jryan and everything In
dicated Taft's election, still there was
en uncertainty which was not removed
until the returns commenced coming

Bryan had simply aroused our fears
without any foundation whatever.

along the track, and when she came
near enough, grabbed her. Upon

Officer Slater took him home with
him and kept him the first night, and

placed him in the freight warohous
until the train arrived. 'Notlng'elght

their guard. Slater was one of the
Judges of election, and as the train
drew In he stepped aboard with the
ballot box en route to La Grande, leav
