BRYAN IS GUEST OF HONOR
FAIRVIEW MAN ON FIFTY-FIRST BIRTHDAY IS

Lincoln Bryan Club's Annual Was a Record Breaker
Prominent Democrats From Other
States Were Present
Thirteen hundred enthusiastic dem
ocratic banquotors celebrated the fifty-first
birthday of W. J, Bryan at
tho Lincoln auditorium Monday night.
KnthuBiasiu was at a high pitch dur
ing the long program. No one minded
the hot, stuffy hall, but listened in
tontly to tho principles advocated by
tho speakers, without an nxcoptlon

was mado to hide tho fact, by Nebras

ty Is divided botweon progressives
and standpatters, Just as much as the
republican party Is divided. The ap
plauso showed plenty of sympathy for
the sentiment advocatod.
It was an open secrot that tho big
bnnquet had been planned to show to
the majority ot the democratic party
of the state that Bryan was not the
dethroned loader he Is fondly hoped
to be by the men now In tho saddlo
