Trlrphone Writ DESIRE TO ELECT Other Cities in District Want Privilege McKinney Grant ed to Aledo IN SELECTING POSTMASTERS Republicans of Warrren County Ask Same Favor for Monmouth Office. In permitting the republicans eif Alc-do and vicinity to select their post master at an election Congressman McKinney has apparently put his feot in it and the result may be that the most important source of patronage will be? lost te his office. The seed sown then has borne fruit among the voters e)f other counties and in other congressional districts and as a result Mr. McKinney will undoubtedly be asked to give the same privilege to other cities and other congressmen will be called upon to inaugurate the in novation in their districts. Axk for n Vote In Warren. A movement is on foot at the pres ent time? among republican voters of Warren county in the territory serv ed by Monmouth to have Congressman McKinney call an election for the choosing of Monmouth's next post master. The matter is being favor ably discussed by many. It is under stood that the matter was broached to Congressman McKinney upon the occasion of his visit to Monmouth 'dur ing the recent campaign and that while he did nor express himself he spoke very satisfactorily of the results which he had secured by this means at Aledo. SHOWED BADTASTE Is Way Bryan Characterizes Roosevelt's Interference in New York Campaign, MAKES COMMENT ON RESULT Was Democratic, Not Republican Op position That Defeated Hearst for Governor. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 10. In a state inent em the result f the election of Tuesday made yesterday afternoon, W. J. Bryan said: "The election of 19o; indicates a trend in favor ef the democratic party. It proves that the democratic party is growing stronger as republican poli cies are developed. In New York the party has won a signal victory in spite of the trtniendous efforts put forth iu behalf of the administration. The re publicans had. all the money they want ed: they had the support of all the great corporations, and at the close they had whatever" influence the ad ministration could lend. The fact that the democrats elected every state eif fiecr excepting the governor shows that in the Empire state the republi can party has been repudiated. HmkIk-m' Victory Diinnieil. "The defeat of Mr. Hearst, the demo cratic and Independence league candi- ilnte for governor, while a great dis appointment to his friends and to the party, is explained by facts which rob Mr. Hughes' victory of both glory and political significance. "Mr. McCarren, whom Mr. Hearst denounced as a boss, threw his influ ence to Hughes and cut down Mr. Hearst's vote in Brooklyn. Mayor Mc- Clellan. the legality of whose election Mr. Hearst had denied, used his in fluence for Mr. Hughes and cut down the Hearst vote in New York. Mr. Je rome, the prosecuting attorney of New York. whe had also been attacked by Mr. Hearst, supported the republican ticke-t and his influence was felt in Greater New York. C'roker'.M Attnrk KflTeetivr. "Mr. Croker, during the last days of the campaign, made an attack upon Mr. Hearst which doubtless weakened the democratic candidate among the Tammanyites. Mr. Murphy, the head of Tammany, while supporting the ticket, could not put much enthusiasm into the campaign owing to the person al controversies which he had had with Mr. Hearst. "It is evident, therefore, that Mr. Hughes owes his victory not to repub lican votes but to democratic votes brought to him by the men whom he and the republican leaders have been denouncing for years. Small Comfort for IlnOMevelt. "President Roosevelt cannot find much cause for rejoicing in the New York returns. To have his own state go democratic cannot he gratifying to him, and to find that his personal at tack on Mr. Hearst had little Influence on the result, compared with the influ ence exerted by McCarren. Murphy, and Croker will not gladden his Thanksgiving day. The president's personal attack on Mr. Hearst was in bad taste, to say the least, and the failure of that attack to favorably im press the public ought to be a warning for the future."
