Lincoln, Neb.. July 11. Under the
caption, "Mount Watterson In Erup

to the recent bitter editorial attack of
Colonel Henry Watterson on William
J. Bryan. The Commoner s "comeback"
says in part:
"Well, Mr. Pryan conresnes tnnt no

that may account for any popularity
Mr. Bryan enjojs. He confesses that
ho did not consult Mr. Watterson when
he made his fight against Judge Parker
for temporary chairman. He did not
consult Mr. Watterson when he intro
duced the resolution against, Belmont,
Ryan and Morgan (wonder if Mr; Wat
terson feels slighted, like one of the
financiers, because he was not In
cluded), and Mr. Bryan did not consult
Mr: Watterson when he declined to Join
with Mr. Murphy in nominating a can

"Mr, Bryan has pursued the coume
which seemed to him most calculated
to advance the interests of the Demo
cratic party and through -the Demo

try. Ho has done most of his work
not only without Mr. Watterson's aid.
but in spite of his opposition. He has
lived to see the things he has advo

a great nation and he awaits without
fear tha verdict of the people, upon
his work at Baltimore."
ELKD0M RESPLENDENT
IN UNIQUE AND MOST
SPECTACULAR PARADE
(Continued From Page One.)
lne, besides an advance guard conslst
ng of an escort of honor to the grand
odge officers of the Elks, that was as
ong as most of the separate divisions.
To Portland lodge No. 142 fell the
honor of acting as official escort to
Grand Exalted Ruler John P. Sullivan
and the other officers of the grand
odge.
Covering more than four and one half
miles of Portland's streets, 15,000 or
more members of tho Elks participated
today In the greatest, the longe&t and
the most spectacular parade In the his
tory of the city of Portland.
Starting from Twelfth and Salmon
streets at shortly after 10 o'clock, the
appointed time, the long, sweeping line
gathered itself together and swung down
streets, along the sides of which was
massed the largest crowd ever gathered
in Portland.
From point of display the parade was
probably one of the most magnificent
known to Elkdom. In point of numbers.
It will take its place among the foremost
of that order's many gorgeous pageants.
Gauged from the standpoint of novelty
and uniqueness, it has never been par
alelled. Backing the elaborately uniformed
marchers were scores of bands, spread
out between floats that were marvels
of artistic decoration. Many of these
were brought from far distant points,
"let 'Er Buck" Delegation.
The "let 'er buck" delegation from
Pendleton was one of the largest in
line, excepting only the Portland lodge.
Chief among tho others was the contin
gent from The Dalles, arrayed In purple
and white feathers. At different points
along the line of march these brethren
nabbed girls from the sidewalks, scalped
them amidst' shrill hooting and dancing,
and turned them loose.
Tho holiday spirit bubbled and
brimmed over and saturated every man,
woman mid child. It made itself felt
In a hundred spontaneous ways. When

spectators.
K'ery once in a while the cowboys

the willing victim along for a block or

Vast Crowds lorn Out.
The people In the crowds were from
everywhere. You could tell that by the
greetings they shouted to the passing
ljerds. "Oh, you Kalamaroo," shrilled
by a little lady perched on a fire escape
Identified her home place at once.
The hotels, which have been veritable
hives all week, were almost deserted
during the parade. So were the refresh
ment stores of all kinds. Everybody
was "doln It."
'For pur fun, I never saw anything
to equal this Elks' reunion," said Ad
miral Reynolds, who hns been the guest
of the city since Monday and who took
1n the parade today after he and his
aides had participated in It. "I have
never seen a more genuinely care free,
smiling, happy crowd of people in my
life at any affair of this kind. In fact,
the entire absence of rowdyism in any
form la surprising. I have not seen a
single act of dlsorderliness due to In
toxication during my stay."'
, Admiral Reynolds' opinion 4a that ear
pressed by everybody.
Old Stare Coaches In Use,
The most popular feature of today's
long succession of parade features was
the Pendleton "round-up" division. More
than 300 Indians, .cowboys, stage coach
drivers, pack horse outfits and mul
punchers made up the representation cf
the eastern Oregon metropolis. The
battered old stage coaches of the early
days, driven by grizzled pioneers of the
frontier times were especially interest
ing features. The Indians were almost
naked and painted In multi-colored hues.
The whole motley aggregation was head
ed by a mounted cowboy band. The
march of tho Pendleton contingent was
marked by a continuous thunder of
cheers all along the long route.
Before the long march across the liver
and back, again a march that covered
nearly all of the Important stfeeta In
the downtown district and gave the
gasping and thrilled crowds every oppor
tunity to view all features of the
pageant was completed many of the
paraders were almost too fatigued to
walk, but they staid bravely on. Few
dropped out. and the bands played with-.
the same spirit and the funmakere "went
ahead with their attics as if they had
Just started out. - -
From every point, of view the parade
was Portland's gteatesb-greatest in
size, greatest In number of participants,
greatest In the elaborateness of the
floats and vehicle features, greatest In
the magnificence of uniforms andfTeat
est in costliness. To add to the great
ness of It all, the largest crowd ever
gathered In Portland witnessed the spec
tacle. Careful preparation and precision
marked th organisation of tho parade:
this morning. Orand Marshal Nichol
son and his aides had matters w'ell In
hand and the parade formed precisely
as they had planned.
Signs carefully displayed on each
block from Salmon street to Hall fac
ing on Twelfth street denoted the rest
ing place for the head of each division.
Each division had Its own separate head

and all worked under Orand Marshal
Nlcholeon and his chief aides, George L.
Baker an Adjutant General Flnser.
The delay in starting was due not to
inefficiency or failure of plans, but
rather to the also of the body of men
that had to be handled. It was the
longest parade ever started In this city.
Portland fcodge.
In command Of their, exalted ruler,
Charles C Bradley, they marched dl
rectly after the carriages of the grand
lodge officers In a column four men
wide that stretched out fdr more than
five blocks.
More than 1000 members of the Port
land lodge were In the Una. In blue
serge coats, white trousers and straw
hats with purple bands, and each carry
ing a cane hung with white and purple
streamers, they mads a fine appearance.
At the head of the Portland division
marched the welcome squad under Colo
nel C. E. McDonnell, whose duty It has
been to welcome and make at home the
visiting Elks.
Riding a coal black horse at the head
of the long procession rode Grand Es
quire Nicholson, chief marshal of the
day. He was clad In a uniform of white
flannel, with purple trimmings. Be
hind him came General W. E. Flnzer,
of Portland, grand marshal, with his
staff of 49 members,' all mounted on
spirited chargers.
A detachment of artillerymen and a
platoon of police marching under Cap
tain Keller, and followed by the police
band, to which was given the honor of
being the first musical organization in
the line, came next. After them in 18
carriages rode the grand officers of the
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks
and those elected at the convention
Tuesday who will take -office tomorrow.
After "them was the official escort
from Portland lodge.
As the paraders marched past Fifth
and Morrison streets, from the fifth
floor of a big store building a big tube
shot down on them showers of confetti
and squares' of colored paper.
Thirty-one bands furnished music as
the procession filed past the reviewing
stand. Among them was the famoui
Elks' band of Idaho, 60 pieces strong,
and the drum and fife corps of the Elks
from Great Falls, Mont.
Here are the officers who commanded
each of the 11 divisions in the parade:
