Feb. 22.-r-To frieuds of William Jennings Brvan are exDressine' regret, and his critics pleasure at infor mation saia to nave reacned fresident elect Wilson to the effect that Mr. Bryan will not accept the place of Secretary of State in Mr. Wilson's Lqbinet. lhis information, which is acceot- ed as conclusive by the .friends of Mr. uryan, is believed to have been con veyed to Mr. Wilson by Col. E. M. Mouse, the personal friend of both men. The explanation of Mr. Bryan's de cision to decline the tender of the most important office in Mr. Wilson s Cab inet is that he has, no selfish or personal desire to secure peponal recognition for nts . admittedly valuable services in contributing to the nomination of Mr Wilson at Baltimore. The friends of Mr. Brvan believe they have reason to justify the pre diction that' he will clearly set forth his views and will make known his amicable relations with presidentelect Wilson in a statement to the publicwhich he is said to have already prepared. Since the tender of the office of Sec retary of State to him, Mr Bryan has maintained the utmost reticence con cerning his purposes: yet he is said to have never wavered in his determi nation to decline the honer on the ground that he is not expecting any personal reward. . (Persons who enjoy the confidence of Mr. Wilson have the best of reasons for their conviction that he would like to have Mr. Bryan in his Cabinet, and decided to offer him the position the day after his election. "There is further reason to" justify the 'belief of these men that Mr. Wilson, has con sulted Mr. Bryan regarding the avail ability of several of - the men whose names have been presented to him for Cabinet offices, and that the final list will emphasize the high regard that Mr Wilson has tor the judgment ot the Nebraskan. it is expected Dy tne admirers oi Mr. Bryan, who, by the way, are al most unanimonslv -in favor of his ac ceptance of the Cabinet portfolio, that two aitd perhaps three of the names that will appear on the list of Cabinet nominations will be those of friends who are in thorough accord with his progressive views. THAT IS PROGRAM OF HOUSE ONPROPOSITION TO BUY A. & N. C. ROAD. "County Attorney Ernest M.
