WHAT THE \J*T PASO UKE TMf ••IH'ST the EMUACtMg^T \ *»K, rt v*ORrt Here Comes the Bride. MR. BRYAN WILL_PUT IT BUCK IF IT CAN BE PROVED THE MONEY WAS PAID. Replies to Charges of New York World Regarding that Nebraska Campaign Fund. Lincoln—W. J. Bryan has reiter ated his statement of his intention to make good the $.0,000 said to have been contributed to the Nebraska campaign by Thomas Ryan of New York, if the story published in the New York World can be proven. His statement given out tonight is as fol lows : ‘‘I have just read the World's story charging: 1. That my brother-in-law, Mr. Allen, chairman of the democratic state committee, had a conference with Mr. Sheehan in 1904 in regard to campaign funds. 2. That Mr. Sheehan, as Mr. Ryan's attorney, secured from Mr. Ryan $20,000 for the Nebraska campaign. 3. That Mr. Ryan made the contri bution to secure my “open and un qualified support of Judge Parker.” 4. That “to disguise the source of the contribution, Mr. Ryan gave the check to Mr. Sheehan, and that Mr. Sheehan gave his checks to Mr. Al len.” “Chairman Allen and Mr. Dahlman, the Nebreska member of the national democratic committee, have already denied the World's charges and stated that the only money received came from the national committee, but I desire to add the following state ment: "Mr. Allen says that he never saw either Mr. Sheehan or Mr. Ryan, and 1 nave no reason to doubt his word. If Mr. Ryan contributed to the Ne braska campaign it was not with my knowledge or consent. While I had j but a remote personal interest in the : Nebraska campaign that year. I am in i terested in Nebraska politics and am i also interested in national -politics, and I am not willing to be. in the i slightest degree, obligated to any i favor-seeking corporation. If. there fore, the World will secure from j either Mr. Sheehan or Mr. Ryan a ! statement, or prove in any oth * way j that Mr. Ryan gave to Mr. Sheehan, to any one else, or to the national committee any sum whatever with the understanding that the sum would be used in the Nebraska campaign. I shall see that the amount is returned to Mr. Ryan. “As to the charge that my support of Judge Parker was purchased, I need only say that 1 announced my support of Judge Parker immediately after the St. Louis convention and that that support was open and un qualified from the convention until the polls closed. I had opposed his nomination, but he had no more loyal supporter during the campaign. I was in correspondence with him, and both on the stump and with my pen rendered him all the assistance I could. While the World was selling its columns to the republican commit tee to be use in caricaturing Judge Parker, my paper was urging his elec tion.” SENATOR ALLISON IS NAMED WILL SUCCEED HIMSELF TO UNITED STATES SENATE. Returns Are Far From Complete. But Enough Known to Determine the Successful Men. Des Moines—Allison has been nom inated by at least 7.000 majority. This is generally conceded. Returns are not all in and the headquarters of the various candidates have been closed. The only returns being re ceived are those by newspapers. Forty-nine counties scattered over the state give Allison a majority of 9,000. The other counties are not going to reduce this materially and may raise it some. Forty-seven counties give Carroll 37.487 and Garst 25,841. Ham ilton in twenty-four counties got 4,717. Carroll will probably have a majority ot 25,000 over Garst. Speaker Clarke is in all probability nominated for lieutenant governor and Bleaklev for state auditor. It is believed that not half of the republican vote for Roosevelt was cast at the primary election. If Judge Prouty is nominated for congress in the Seventh district it is by such a narrow margin that only the full complete returns will deter mine the matter. Wednesday night he had a majority of six over Con gressman Huli. with some precincts to report yet. In the Tenth district Congressman Woods, chairman of the state central committee, was chosen over J. P. Conner, present incumbent. Elbert H. Hubbard was renominated for con gress in tlte Eleventh district. The only democratic contest was in the Second district, where Mark Walsh of Clinton won over J. E. De Armand of Davenport, he carrying Scott county against his opponent. The congressional nominees nanied in the primaries are: First district, C. A. Kennedy (rep.i, George S. Tra cy Idem.); Second district. A. F. Daw son I rep.), Mark Walsh Idem.); Third district, Charles E. Pickett (rep.I, Charles Elliott Idem); Fourth dis trict, G. N. Haughen (rep.), democrat in doubt; Fifth district, James W. Good (rep.) S. K. Tracy idem.); Sixth district, N. E. Kendall (rep.), D. W. Hamilton (dem.t; Seventh district, Hull or Prouty (rep.), D. C. Holly (dent.); Eighth district, W. P. Hap burn (rep.), W. A. Jamieson (dem.t; Ninth district, W. I. Smith (rep.), R. C. Spencer idem): Tenth district, Frank P. Woods (rep.), democrat doubtful; Eleventh district, E. H. Hub bard (rep.), no democratic nomina tion. CHURCH UNION ABANDONED. United Presbyterians Take No Action on Movement for Present.

If Walker has won in the upper court he must, now wait the slow' action of Mexican courts before he «e*» be released ALLIES BACK DOWN ANTI-TAFT FORCES DECIDE NOT TO BOLT. FORMAL STATEMENT ISSUED Presentation of Evidence in Contests Will Continue in Regular Way Until the Close. Chicago.—Representatives of tha “allies have recalled their statement that the\ will bolt the republican na tional committee so far as the presen tation of evidence to support the claims of anti-Taft delegations from southern states is concerned. There is evidence that the announcement made Saturday night upon the author ity of Representative Francis J. Burke, manager of Senator Knox, af ter he bad been in conference with Senator Hemenwav of Indiana. J. B. Healing of Indiana and others identi fied with the campaign being made by the "allies” created dissension. Some of the other spokesmen for the "al lies” declared the announcement to be ill advised and they busied them selves Sunday to counteract its ef fect. After numerous conferences the fol- i lowing, which was headed, “Statement from the allies,” was issued: “Upon the authority of the repres- ■ entatives of all presidential candidates ! other than Secretary of War Taft it j was announced today that they would | continue to present their side of the ; contested delegate cases to the nation al committee. The decision of the na tional committee will not be taken as final by the candidates known as the ‘allies,’ but an appeal will be taken in cases where it is believed injustice has been done, first to the committee on credentials and later to the conven tion itself. “The determination of the repres entatives of the 'allies’ to continue the presentation of the contests to the na tional committee is not to be taken as an indication that they approve of the manner in which these contests have been decided. But in order to be in the position to present all of the cases in proper form to the committee on credentials it is deemed advisable to comply with the form of procedure laid down by the national committee. "It is the firm determination of the representatives of the 'allies' to first give the national committee an op portunity to consider all the contents on their merits.” STORM VICTIM DEAD. Mrs. E.

Calls Uncle Sam Bad Names. Caracas—El Constitutional, the offl :ial organ of president Castro, pub ishes a New York letter stating that t is rumored that the United States rill secretly support Colombia in case if war with Venezuela.
