" . BRYAN THEN AND NOW. Sixteen years ago the Standard supported William J. Bryan for ' president. Later there was much said in certain quarters as to the iV emptiness of Bryan. The criticism of the man was wholly uncompli mentary and represented him as a dangerous demagogue. i j ',' This paper, though not wholly agreeing with Bryan, has rec- ' ognized the man's great ability as a leader of men and a teacher of ! , . honesty in things political. We have opposed him as well as defend- ! ed him, and our defense of him has never brought regrets. Today Bryan has come in to his own. He has not been elected President! but, greater still, he is the maker of Presidents, no made ' ' Woodrow Wilson's nomination and election possible. Without Bry. ftf an's tremendous influence in the Baltimore convention, Champ Clark ft would have won. Had Clark -been named under the cloud ol sus- K picion as to his worthiness which Bryan had created, Roosevelt, as H the only candidate having a claim to progressive policies, might have nBT been elected. i ft So, after sixteen years, time has worked many changes, not the JSf least of which is the growth of Bryan as a successful factor in H& American politics. Bf HOMESTEADING TINDER NEW LAW. K We aro requested to give a summary of the new homestead I fl& laws. K The time of residence on lands taken up" under the Smoot act I"' has been reduced to three years. In order to obtain a patent, it K must be shown that the homesteader has resided on his land three H years. The limit formerly was five years. TTonorably discharged sol El diers and sailors are entitled to claim credit for the period of their He military service. K' Before the new act no specific amount of cultivation had been flg required respecting homestead entries made under the general law, H that is, an entry of 160 acres. Under the revised statutes, however, H a clause was interpreted by the Interior department to mean th,at the Hf entire tract should be "used in a husband-like manner" for a term I B of five years. The new law reduces the required area of eulliva- j & tion to not less than one-sixteenth. I HT The homestead entrvinan can leave his home five months in a T year, BV The procedure for persons desiring to make a homestead entry HI as required by laws now in force prescribes that before the applica nt tion for entry is made a personal inspection of the lands must be H made to ascertain if they are suitable. IE? A STUDY OF THE ELECTION RETURNS. Rr ! H? ' The Progressives developed much strength in parts of Box El- S" der county. K?- The town of Howell in the northwestern corner of the state ft cast 152 for Roosevelt, 121 for Wilson and 29 for Taft , ftf Garland's 150 votes were about equally divided between the Hs three parties. mt Plymouth cast 63 for Roosevelt, 55 for Taft and 47 for Wilson i Kr" - Bear River gave a Democratic plurality, with Roosevelt second. V Kr There were 10 votes at Lucin, and the precinct went unanhnons- KK - ly for Roosevelt. IfffiBL. ut ie banner Taft precjnet was Grouse Creek, where the en- I) f tire 67 votes were cast for Taft. I Mo Collinston was divided between the Roosevelt and Taft forces. Deweyville failed to record one Roosevelt vote. K Beaver Dam cast 42 votes, 28 of which were for Roosevelt. W Brigliam was strongly Republican. Taft receiving 487, Wilson '- M 387, Roosevelt 298. IjJJ Willard gave Taft 132, Wilson 101 and Roosevelt 49. : Our opinion is that there is not a county in Utah, with the ex- imt ception of Washington, steadfastly Democratic for forty years, ft which the Progressive party could not carry with the same aggres- 3 wk sive propaganda as that witnessed in Ogden during the campaign. B Outside of Ogden, there was little or no publicity' given to the S Progressive campaign and in two-thirds of the state there was no H organization. ft A GREAT GHANGE IN SENTIMENT. iHt . IB le voe or tne neac a ticket stands for the political con- B victions of its adherents. If that be true, then Weber count' is Pro- B gresBive by 523, and Ogden City is Progressive by nearly 700. ! m Up to the last election, Weber county had been Republican for i v nearly fourteen years, casting as high as 6,331 votes for the Repub- B Jican party to 3,108 for the opposition, or a majority of 3,223. From K that commanding position, the party has been reduced to a total vote I 9 which 5s less than the majority it received in this county 1 ' SE , in 1904) although the total vote cast has increased since then about Sf 1,000. I JK Bryan has been a popular man in Weber county and yet the. 1 mi 'eDraskan was defeated in this county by Taft by o.ver 1900 votes in j the last presidential election. I I If the vote of protest against present conditions in Weber j f county -was consolidated, it would total 6591 to 3082 for the Re- J publicans, or a protest quite overwhelming. I From npw on the Progressive party must stand first among the I political organizations of Weber county. r I Evc" in the state, the parties of protest against machine politics ' such as the Republican party has resorted to, stand 58,700 to 36,000 I for the successful candidates in the last election. I . Fr instance, the Progressives, Democrats and Socialists all I condemned the method of handling state funds and the system of j railroad taxation. Those who joined in that protest numbered near- j ly two to every one who gave a vote of confidence in the Republican ft; state ticket. That is a remarkable triumph for the reformers, even though their mandate &r given at the ballot boxes fails to BH drive the minority from office. ft'H SILVER FORK IS GOOD COUNTRY HfI MinerB down from Big Cottonwood SK 5 yesterday reported that the f reah fall Jg f. of snow during the last week or so E .

Bancroft, vice president and general managor of tho Oregon Short Lino, yesterday, to tho effect that sixtoen of the large Mikado type lo comotives recently ordered wore now on the way to Omaha. "We ordered twenty of the big freight locomotives," said Fred H. Knickerbocker, assistant general manager of the road, yesterday, "and are informed that sixteen are on the way from Pittsburg to Omaha and tho other four will be started from the mills at Pittsburg Mn a few days." When abked yesterday what effect the new motive power would have on the Oregon Short Line, J, A. neeves, general frelgnt agent lor uie Oregon Short Lino, said: "It will mean that there will al ways bo an engine ready to move a car Ju as soon aa It is loaded. If the cars are unloaded promptly and then kept moving the car shortage will not prevent our taking care of the heavy Idaho crops this year. I feel confident that, with the now en glneB, we can handle the situation to tho satisfaction of tho shippers." i.i nn Read the Claimed Ads. Roosevelt Now Has Saf e Plurality in Golden State San Francisco Nov. 9. Out of a maze of uncertainty that had made the result of Inst Tuesday's presidcn- eiootlon impossible to forecast, and entire new tabulation yesterday, based upon corrected returns from virtual'v iii county scats, developed theso facts Roosevelt has a plurality of the popular vote over Wilson that the few remote precincts still unreported are rot likely to overturn. Not all of the 'Roosevelt electors, however, may have- won. The nume of Lieutenant Governor Albert J Wallace, which headed his electoral tiokets were scratched by many vot ers, presumably because of his course in commuting the death sentences of murderers, while acting governor. In many Instances, It Is said, Wal lace's name was actually penciled off the ballot. Attorney General Webb has rendored an opinion that such bul lots were thereby Invalidated. Acting upon this opinion tho Dem ocratic managers have announced that If the final returns leave Roose velt still in the lead, they will chal lenge tho vote of Los .Angeles county, where tho Progressives rolled up their heaviest plurality and where Wallace ran behind the other electors. Many Surprises. Wilson and Roosevelt alternated in the lead early In the day, when tho distant mountain precincts began to straggle in, bringing with them many surprises in the wuy of reversals from expected results. Toward even ing Roosevelt began to draw away, his margin being augmented by sev eral corrections of totals from coun ty seats, based upon completo and official roturns. By 4, p. m. it had Increased to nearly 1000 votes and it became almost certain thnt tho unre ported precincts in counties carried IFOR RENT OR SALE ON EASY TERMS New 4-6 room Modern Frame, Monroe and 20th St. Sidewalk, ffl Inquire OWNER, 1963 Monroe. 9 Phone 21SQ-J. by the Democratic ticket would not I oercome this lead j The final disposition of California's I thirteenth electoral votes may be de cided by the courts Democratic managers, in the announcement of their determination to challenge the Los Angeles county vote in the event of a Roosevelt victory on the in formal count, declared their action based not only on the alleged count ing of Progressive ballots invalidated by pencil scratches, but on alleged errors and Irregularities of Republic an Judges of election In excluding valid Democratic ballots. Reward Offered. James D. Phelan and Rudolph Spreckles authorized tho Democratic state central committee late today to offer a reard of $5,000 to anyone sup plying evldonce leading to the convlc tion of any person on a charge of perpetrating election frauds. Accord ing to tho terms of the offer, this re ward will be paid for each individual conviction. The wfde discrepancy in the com plete returns from Los Angeles coun ty as compared with the earlier re turns a change that wiped out an apparent lead of approximately 6000 votes for Wilson In tho state was due in part to a switch in the meth od of tallying the popular vote. At tho outse the record was made up from he voto cast for the head of oach electoral ticket. Later, when It became apparent that many Pro gressives had not voted for Wallaco. the first Roosevelt elector. Progres sive leaders demanded of the county clerk a recount, In which a vote cast for any elector in the Progressive column was tallied as a vote for Roosevelt Late returns last night reversed a Progressive plurality in the "Eleventh congressional district and gave the victory to a Democrat, Increasing the Democratic representation from Cali fornia to throe and reducing the Pro gressive to four. William Kettner. Democrat, is shown to have defeated Samuel C. Evans, Progressive, by a voto of 24.GG3 to 21,173. The slngje county of San Diego gave Kettner a plurality of more than 8000.
