cannot see where Mr. Bryan haa com

Concerning Mr. Bryan's Indorsement
of William R. Hearst for governor of
New Tork. -Senator Blackburn said:
"Mr, Bryan had to Indorse Hearst, who
was 'waging a battle under the party's
colors. Thenrtoo, there -were-certain
elements allied with Mr. Hearst that
made the Indorsement a wise move for
Mr. Bryan from the standpoint of good
politics in the Empire state.
- "Bat one thing sure, trie -result of the
New Tork election was the absolute
elimination of Roosevelt and Hearst as
presidential candidates In 10I. Neither
bow haa a ghost of a chance la the face
of the verdict rendered by the -people
of New Tork. Prior to the election both
Roosevelt., and Hearat were candidates
for president and a pronounced victory
for either party would have brought
one or the other to the front In that
role. ,' .

In the administration of national af
fairs would be very acceptable to the
country. Mr. Roosevelt realises this,
for he Is the beat politician In the
United States. -
"I am frank to say," concluded the
senator, "that I am well pleased with
the result In New Tork. especially with
reference to Mr. Hearst. His election
unquestionably would have been disas
trous to the Democratic party, for with
the machinery of the great atate of

almost unlimited wealth, he would have
built up a machine powerful enough to

Mefton Bell and Alfred Drill, who
are charged with voting Illegally on
the false affidavits, will also escape
prosecution.
"If ws are unable to convict the men
who Inspired the illegal voting we will
not prosecute the laborers who voted
af the direction of their masters, prob
ably under threats of losing their
Jobs." declared the district attorney.
Last June Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougber
declared tn a sermon preached at the
White Temple that the general belief
was that the prosecution of the men
sccused of frauds In connection with
the voting in Sellwood precinct would
be delayed until all the witnesses had
escaped and would then have ta be dis
missed. Dr. B rougher declared this morning
that he had always felt that the prose
cution would end like a farce and that
the dismissal of the Indictments waa bo
more than ha expected.
That Dr. B rougher mar comment
from his pulpit on the action oC the dls
trict attorney is believed to be possible
from his remarks this morning.
"I have Just returned to the city and
am not entirely familiar with tho situa
tion as yet." he said. "I want to have
a talk with Judge Fraaer and may say
something on the subject later." .

Deputy District Attorney Oua C
Moeer believes that much benefit has
resulted from the prosecutions already,
though .there will be no mora convic
tions. "There are row men who would now
take any chances oa violating the elec
tion laws and escaping the penitentiary
on a technioallty," said Deputy Moser.
It la reported that some of the men
who were under Indictment have de
clared that they would not awear to aa
affidavit again for their own brothers
to enable them to veto.
"There la a difference between prov
ing acquaintance and lack of acquaint
ance." aid District Attorney Manning.
"If every man In the county were to
swear that he had never seen Boyntoa
and Toung together, the possibility that
they had met secretly or In tha presence
of others would still remain.
"There ia absolutely no way to get;
testimony corroborating lack of ac
quaintance except In the nature of ad
missions made by the accused, and we
have never heard of any such admis
sions being made by tha man whe are
new under Indictment. '-
"The fact that these men did not live
In Sellwood could not be proved at the

that the parte of the aff ldavlta relating

Tbe district attorney did not know

In the motion for the dismissal of
the indictments the two charges against
J. W. Reed on which he haa not been
