BRYAN IS WORKING
TO REUNITE PART!
Playing Big Game to
Win Big Prize.
AND PLAYING IT WITH SKILL
Welcome to All Democrats, Old
Quarrels Dead.
RECREATING HIS PARTY
Having Outlived IIIh Faults of Pas
sionate Youth, Leader Now Strives
With Cool Judgment for Party
Union and Triumph.
"Walter Wellman In Chicago Record -Herald.
LINCOLN, Neb.. July 1. It is a
big game that is being played here
by a big man for a big prize. To re
unite a disrupted party, to bring all
factions together upon a platform all
can stand upon, to Inject Into a party,
till now so often beaten that It has be
come well nigh hopeless, not only har
mony but hope, confidence, enthusiasm.
This Is the task William Jennings
Bryan is engaged upon. The objective,
of course. Is the White House.
Mr. Bryan Is playing his part well,
with great skill, with well defined
ideas as to methods and principles,
with a personal magnetism and self
control rarely equalled among our pub
lic men, with almost Infinite knowl
edge of men and conditions every
where in the country.
Welcome to All Democrats.
A strong, stocky, big-faced, heavy
Jawed, quick-eyed, pleasant-speaking,
sweet-smiling man stands on the porch
of a beautiful country house. His hand
is outstretched. He welcomes all com
ers. No sort of Democrat is repulsed.
No matter what he has done or for
whom or what voted, or talked, or
written in the days that are gone if
he Is now a Democrat and for the old
party, the glad hand grasps his as he
walks up the stairs. If he is a man
of any Importance whatever and he
takes the trouble to wire ahead, Mr.
Bryan will meet him at the railway
station and drive him out to Fairview
and make him happy.
Sew Bryan Supplants the Old.
This man, who is now hard at work re
shaping, re-maklreT, re-creating the Dem
ocratic party under his own leadership
and incidentally for his own benefit, is
one of the marvels of the age. In his per
sonality he is one of the most remarka
ble men of our day. He Is now a strong,
a ripe, a full man. He is indeed the new
Bryan. He has grown in poise and wis
dom and judgment and insight and grasp
till he has become almost ideal as a
leader, as a doer of the sort of work that
now lies to his hand.
We remember the Bryan of old, elo
quent but inexperienced, passionate but
poor of Judgment, a born preacher and
crusader, a little fanatical, somewhat
narrow, inclined to harbor personal re
sentments, bigoted as many strong and
earest men are to the point where they
do not much like those who disagree
with them; inclined to think that what
ever they stand for must be right and
that it Is their duty to convince all man
kind to their way of thinking.
The new Bryan is better balanced, more
tolerant, not less sincere but more adapt
able, still the preacher by instinct, but
the harmonizer and builder by trade. He
has grown and he has learned.
TOWXE AND BRYAN" CONFER
Former Admits Candidacy, bnt Lat
ter Is Non-committal.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 1. Charles A.
Towne. who Is en avowed candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Vice
President, as well as an old-time personal
friend of W. J. Bryan, stopped off here
for the express purpose of discussing
Vice-Presidential politics with the latter.
Mr. Bryan was exnecting him' and for
half an hour tney remained closeted.
Mr. Towne admitted to newspaper men
that his candidacy as well as the plat
form formed the main topics of conver
sation. " New Tork is the logical state to fur
nish the Vice-Presidential nominee,-' said
Mr. Towne. "The public does not seem
to realize the number of Democrats there
are in northern New York. I am not sur
prised at the declination of Judge Gray
to be mentlonel for Vice-President. I
have expected it right along. Judge Gray
is a strong man. a popular man with all
classes, he has ability, magnetic person
ality and marked attainments. However,
I have been assured by friends from all
parts of the country of support for myself.
Assurances of an unmistakable character
were given me by leading New York
Democrats before I would permit the use
of my name."
Tonne's View of Injunctions.
"What will be done with the anti
injunction plank at Denver?" Mr. Towne
was asked.
"It should be a strong one. one that
does not hedge. Laboring men will be
protected."
"Will provision for the interlocutory
decree be made for uses In extreme cases?
What is Mr. Bryan's position on this
phase of the question?"
"That I cannot discuss. I cannot even
express my own opinion, for It would
borrow color from the fact that I have
been talking with Mr. Bryan."
Previous to Mr. Towne's visit, Mr.
Bryan had practically set at rest, tem-

RAILROADS DELAY
WAGE REDUCTION
HOPE TO PREVENT STRUGGLE
WITH LABOR THIS YEAR.
Postpone Action Till October, When
Improved Traffic May Remove
Necessity Entirely.
CHICAGO, July 1. (Special.) Strong
grounds exist for hoping that the rail
roads will not find it necessary to force
to an Issue the. question of a general
wage reduction, because of the depres
sion that has existed for the last nine
months in the commercial and industrial
interests of the country.
Last week it was feared that a con
flict between the roads and their em
ployes might be started by some of the
Southern roads forcing the issue to a
final settlement, but wiser counsels pre
vailed, and further consideration of the
whole matter has been postponed until
October 1. By that lime, It is hoped,
the traffic situation will have so improved
that the roads will see their way to
continue the present rate of wages in
definitely. Out of a trying situation there has
been one development gratifying to all
Intrusted with the operation of the rail
roads. That is the demonstrated greater
efficiency of railroad labor and the bene
fits to the companies that have resulted
therefrom. It has been the effort of the
managers, in reducing forces, to retain
the best workmen.
TROOPS GUARD DEL RIO
Consul Ellsworth to Investigate.
Result of Las Vacos Fight.
WASHINGTON, July L-General A. L.
Myer, commanding the department of
Texas, telegraphed to the War Depart
ment today that lie had sent four troops
of cavalry to Del Rio, near th! scene
of operations of the insurrectionist In
Mexico.
American Consul Ellsworth, at Porfiro
Diaz, state of Coahulla, Hex., has in
formed the State Department that he Is
going to make a trip to the Las Vacos
country, the scene of one of the
recent disturbances between the rebels
and the Mexican troops, to investigate
conditions there. While he will report
his findings' to the State Department he
is making the investigation entirely on
his own responsibility.
Several dispatches received through of
ficial sources and apparently corroborat
ing press telegrams regarding the trouble
at Las Vacos were made public today.
They indicate that at the Las Vacos
fight several days ago nine Mexican sol
diers and 12 rebels were killed. Captain
Perez, presumably a Mexican officer, was
wounded three times. After their repulses
the rebels took refuge in the mountains
and the prediction was made that they
would be driven north to Texas.
Officials of the administration familiar
with conditions In Mexico and also the
members of the Mexican embassy predict
an early subsidence of the present insur
rectionary movement.
ECHO OF JAPAN'S VICTORY
Lord Curzon Attributes Recent Un
rest in India to Late War.
LONDON, July 1. There was an orator
ical duel between Lord Curzon and Vis
count Morley, of Blackburn, Secretary of
State for India, in the House of Lords
last night on the subject of the late un
rest in India, this being Viscount Morley's
maiden speech in that House. Lord Cur
zon regarded the unrest as a chronic
symptom of the condition of Asia as a
whole which has been fomented by Jap
anese victory over Russia,
"That was the triumph of Asia over
Europe," he said, "and the reverberations
of that conflict have spread like a thun
der clap through the whispering galleries
of the East."
Viscount Morley in defending the gov
ernment's policy, agreed with Lord Cur
zon that the trouble was largely due to
Japan's victory. The government had no
reason, he continued, to doubt the
Ameer's loyalty and friendship and re
garding the Indian agitation, it did not
intend to adopt the remedy of "martial
law and damned nonsense," but while
the enforcing of law and preserving order
would not be determined by bombs and
outrages, it would persevere in the policy
of reform in the direction of giving to all
grades of Indians "some handling of their
own affairs."

and Sol Rubink.
In the case of the Dufour and Du Val
couples. Judge Landis imposed record
breaking bail. In each case the bond was

charges were serious enough to make
Justifiable the heaviest bonds. Both
couples were indicted on. between 30 and
10 counts.

DENVER, , Colo., July 1. Claiming a
victory on the first ballot but overlooking
no possible chance to make their triumph
sure, the followers of Mr. Bryan have
been watching for any move on the part
of his rivals that would compel him to
go" single-handed against the field, as
Mr. Taft was obliged to show his strength
In the early stages of the Chicago con
vention against the combined forces of
the "allies." ,
The arrival today, however, of the per
sonal representatives of Judge Gray and
Governor Johnson, the only candidates
who are now expected to enter the lists
against Mr. Bryan, has failed to disclose
any common ground of agreement be
tween them. The Gray managers as
serted that they had no Intention of en
tering into a coalition with the followers
of Mr. Johnson and had not received
from them or made to them any over
tures for a combination. The same dis
claimer of a desire to pool Issues was
made by the Johnson people after their
arrival tonight. They said they had no
other object in view but the nomination
of Mr. Johnson and intended to make
their fight for that purpose only.
Drop Hook for Bryan Votes.
- The attitude which the Gray and John
son people have assumed has led to con
siderable conjecture as to the Vice
Presidential candidates. The followers of
Mr. Bryan profess to believe that the
refusal of the Gray and Johnson men
to make a combined fight against the
strength of Mr. Bryan means that they
are not averse to occupying positions in
which they can avail themselves of Bryan
votes for second place in the event of his
nomination for the Presidency. ' On this
point, however, both Mr. Lynch for Gov
ernor Johnson and Mr. Marvel for Judge
Gray insist that the Bryan people are
utterly In the wrong. Their men, they
say, are out for the first place and are
giving no consideration to the Vice
Presidency. The chief arrivals today. In point of
political importance, were those of Fred-

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., July 1. O.
N. Hilton, leading- counsel for Steve

SERIOUS SHORTAGE FEARED
Pessimistic Tone to Reports
From All Sections.
RAILROAD EXPERTS' VIEWS
Unless Showers Occur 'Within Week,
Crop Will Be 25 to SO Per Cent
Short, Percentage Vary
ing With .District.
Reports Just received by the railroads
on crop conditions in the wheat dis
tricts of Oregon and Washington are
somewhat alarming. While the prospects
a week ago were for a good average
crop, agents of the railroads now re
port a falling off from 25 to 50 per cent
as compared to last year in some of
the best wheat sections of the terri
tory. This information has proved disquieting
to the railroad traffic agents, who have
been indulging in the hope 'of large ton;
nage from the wheat fields next Fall
and Winter. They say, however, that
prices to the consumer may equalize
the short crop to some extent by being
higher than would be the case should
the yield be large.
Traffic departments of the Hill and
Harrlman railroads centering at Portland
have been keeping close watch on the
growing crop all through the wheat dis
tricts. At least once, a week and some
times oftener, since the grain fields be
gan to show green in the Spring, re
ports have 1 come in to the head offices
in Portland of the . weather conditions
and whether the rains or absence of
rain were favorable to the. growing
wheat. . .
These reports were encouraging up to
very recently, In fact that coming to
Assistant General Freight Agent Coman
yesterday was the first really unfavor
able report received. General Freight
and Passenger Agent Adams of the Spo
kane, Portland & Seattle Railway is also
on the anxious seat because of the news
of damage to crops he is getting from
agents in the Inland Empire.
Rain Xeeded to Save Grain.
As dry weather is the greatest cause
for .alarm in the wheat country, it Is
feared that the warm weather of the past
few days has added to the damage of
grain. Wasco County reported that un
ceasing winds, lack of rain and cool
weather have combined to damage Fall
grain. Rain Is needed In that section
soon or Spring grain will suffer con-

the corresponding six months in 1907,
or an Increase of 9.1 per cent. The re

the same month a year ago these sales
reached a total of $48,632.43. This In

crease of 12.3 per cent for the month.
"These figures," explained Postmas
ter Minto yesterday, "Include only the
stamp sales, and by referring to the
records of the office I find that the in
crease In stamp sales comes from the
stamp window In the main corridor of
the building where the purchases rare

made to the business houses for the

THREATENS TO USE BOMBS
Suffragette AVho Broke Asquith'9
Windows Violent in Court.
LONDON,' July 1. The extraordinary
demonstration last night before the
houses of Parliament made by the
woman suffragists In their efforts to
secure votes for themselves, had a
rather startling sequel today when one
of the women, Mary Leigh, arrested
for breaking windows In the house of
Premier Asqultn, declared in the Bow
Street Police Court that "the next time
we come out you can expect bombs."
This radical statement has had the
effect of drawing a greater degree of
attention to the entire suffragist
movement in England, and as a result
the police will henceforth have to han
dle the women demonstrators with less
good-humored tolerance and with more
severity.
This threat by Mary Leigh, which
was a repetition of what she said at
the -time she was taken into custody,
la really the sensation of the last dem
onstration, for the much-heralded at
tack on the House of Commons last
night was a comparative failure. Noth
ing like the expected number of suf
fragists appeared, and the movement
was lacking in definite organization.
The two women who broke windows
in the house of the Premier were to
day sentenced to two months at hard
labor, without the option of paying a
fine.
Compared to previous punishments
meted out to the suffragists here, this
sentence is particularly severe.
The two- women who broke windows In
the house of the Premier-are Mrs. Mary
Leigh and Miss Edith New.
Twenty-five out of the 27 women who
were charged with obstructing the police
decided to go to prison.

The quarrel between the two men is an

ST. PAUL. Minn., July 1. The Minne
sota Republican convention nominated
Jacob. F. Jacobson. of Madison, for Gov
ernor, and adopted a platform indorsing
the work of the Chicago convention and
pledging the party in Minnesota to con
tinue the work of railway regulation.
Mr. Jacobson's name was presented to
the convention by ex-Congressman Eddy,
who aroused laughter when he said:
"The only reflection any one 'has been
able to cast upon our candidate is that
he eats pie with a knife. He is a rough,
rugged, natural man. We could not have
him any different If we would, and we
would not If we could."
Mr. Jacobson was nominated, after Attorney-General
Edwin T. Young and Sam
uel P. Snyder, of Minneapolis, opposing
candidates, had withdrawn and seconded
his nomination. Joel Heitwole, who also
was a candidate for Governor, ' did not
withdraw, but his name was not presented
to the convention. The Winona County
delegates did not vote.
Other nominees are: Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Adolph O. Eberhart; Secretary of
State, Julius A. Schmahl; State Treas
