PRINCIPLES OF PARTY
ARE CLEARLY DEFINED
Nebraskan Cheered Enthusiastically by
Thousands Who Listen to His Ringing
Words Metcalf Draft Approved by
Text-Book Committee.
Lincoln. Xeh.. Aug. 12. Amid
ihe cheering: of thousands who filled
all available Siare about the stand,
William J. Bryan walked to the
front of the platform In the capltol
grounds and lifted up his voire In
acceptance of the nomination of the
Democratic party for the office of
president.
The notification speech, delivered
by Congrehsman Henry II. Clayton,
who was chairman of the Denver
convention, was the cause for the
first cheering, which seemed enthus
iastic, but it was meager In compar-
lson with the great burst of applause
that greeted the commoner.
In the rinsing words of his address
Bryan threw oil his dramatic power
Into his voice and with all the passion
and power possible, he fairly lifted the
crowd from its feet, causing a tre
mendous demonstration.
The sky was overcast with clouds, but
the slight rain falling did not mar the
ceremonies. The program was carried
out as arranged, without alteration.
Before going to the capltoK grounds
Bryan held a conference with the text
bonk committee and approved the draft
prepared by Richard Metcalf. The book
will be composed of Bryan's speech of
acceptance and other addresses on va
rious phasos of the campaign, a copy of
the platform, a comparison of the Dem
ocratic with the Republican platform
and press comments.
Congressman Clayton's notification
speech and Bryan's speech of acceptance
will be found in fuli on page 6 of this
issue.

Winnipeg. Man.. Aug. 12. The em

Vice-President Whyte of the railroad
arrived here today from the Pacific
coast. He declined to discuss the strike
or state what Is being done to fill the
places of the strikers. When asked for
a statement he said:
"This will be a fight to the finish,
so far as the company Is concerned."
Strikebreakers are being Imported in
increasing numbers from the United

X EVA DA TO HAVE
XFWBAXKIXO LAW
(Special Pbpnt-n to The Journal.)
San Francisco, Aug. 1Z. The de
feat of the Lincoln-Roosevelt ticket
at yesterday's primaries is attributed
to the "bungling" of the graft cases
and the repeated effort of the graft
prosecution to reach alleged higher
ups against whom it had no direct
evidence. It became self-evident
Monday that the primaries would,
bring out a strong vote for the reg
ular Republican and Democratic or-i
ganizations, the voters claiming thatl
the failure to prosecute boodle eu-j
pervisors and Ruef and Schmitz oni
regular lines without application o
immunity baths has made it impos
sible to convict any of the grafters.
The entire absence of the influence of
Huef and Schmitz in yesterday's hap
penings was noticeable. It is not gen
erally known, but is a fact nevertheless,
that the two arch grafters are out of
the political game for all time. Tha
antl-Spreckels factions charged that in
aiming its blows at the regulars, the
Sareckels men and newspapers had ran
rough shod over men of good standing,
and had branded many of those as cor
ruptions! s and machine politicians;; men
who had never been known to be con
nected with crooked political deals. -
There Is no denying ttiat Francis J.
Hem y has lost caste here. The city 1
tired of aimless, long drawn out con
troversies, and the voters said so at tha
polls to the tune of an almost three to
one vote. Ilenev has been criticised for
"indiscriminately charging men of good
standing with connivance with tha
grafters." The evidence Introduced
against those charge.! Is alleged to have,
been of the 'flimsiest character."
indiscriminate use of the power of
court,'' arid "uncalled for abuse In
an apparent effort to involve some on
in the higher up class" turned the tide.
The graft prosecution failed, and dll
so because it did not go to the root of
the evil when It had tho rotten officials
In its grasp and could have sent them
to the penitentiary.
The people say that vindictive motiva
was behind the freeing of the Gallagh
ers, the I.onergans and the two big
bosses. The graft prosecution let tha
thieves slip through Its fingers In an
endeavor to reach men against whom It
Is believed Us members had grievances.
