Announcement is made in Wash
ington that foimer Secretary of Stat
William J. Bryan, three time? Dem
ocratic nominee for President, has
shaken the dust of Nebraska from
his feet and taken all necessary stf
to make him a citizen of'Florida.
This was not diilii ;:lt for he has n- <!••
his home of recent years a: Miami.
Florida. Accompanying this an
nouncement there comes from Wash
ington the declaration that the for
mer Secretary of iitate be a can
didate for the Democratic nomina
tion for United States S'-nator next
year against Senator i'trk Trammel!.
In addition 10 tlegal home
in Florida, iir. Bryan has become a
•nember of a tl;r;: <•>; lawyers in
Washington with aa iuleniational
practice, givius special aUet.Uoa to
Mexican and Central American mat
ters. .
Of course it lias been charged that
.Vr. Bryan lo quitting Xehraksa be
cause he lias found it too difficult
to carry Democratic primaries in that
state, and even more difficult to car
ry elections there, and that he wants
to try his luck in a Democratic State. ;
More likely, however, Air. Bryan has j
elected—and very properly—that Ills'
legal residence should follow his ac-1
t'.ial residence to Florida.—Ex.

Neither of ti e men regarded tbei ta -

But with the school boys it was a
mnt'er of great importance. The

When Messrs' Fowler and Rail ro

while the second two pulls wore won
by flail's dogs.
Itichurd Suratt. the well known

Washington.—As Mrs. Harding

This. too. despite the fact that only

given her name. As the wife of a

shown an extraordinary g.rt for the

latest creation is a pearl embroidery
