The most significant feature of
the meeting of the Democratic Nat
ional Committee, in Washington,
was the power exercised by Ex-Seu-
ator German. 1t was his influence
that knocked out the plan, fathered
by Mr.. Bryan, of holding the demo-
cratic convention in advance of the
republican convention, and it WAS
also his influence, that caused Kan
sas City to be chosen for the Con
vention after Milwaukee seemed to
have cinch. Mr.. Germans pow
erful and unexpected influence in
the Committee is not relished by
the Bryan worshipDers. He has
publicly said thai he wo1ld support
Mr.. Bryan if he was nominated, but
he has not said that he will help
get him nominated. Mr.. German is
one of the slickest aud most slippery
politicians in the country, and there
is very little doubt that he will
keep Mr.. Bryan out of the nomi-
nation, if he can find a way to doit.

when an attempt was made to GUST
Chrisman as q professor Of that insti-
tuition. The vote stood 3 to 8, and az 1t
takes majority OF the votes Of the
members of the board to discharge a
teacher, Chrisman retains his place.
The campaign to defeat Chrisman
for reelection was very bitter and at
no time In recent years have the wom-
en- of Kansas been so thoroughly united
as in this fight. Mothers, wives and
lisweethearts in educational circles of
the state used every means at their
command to accomplish their purpose.
The women worked for the most part
with the wives of the regents who. in
turn. urged their husbands to turn the
man out of the principal educational in
stitution of Kansas who acknowledged
that his only regard for their sex was
the passion of the brutes. Hundreds Of
letters poured in every day on the re-
gents and their wives, demanding in
the name OF decency and the honor of
the women of Kansas that Chrisman
\ be turned out of the school,
So vigorous was the campaign that
four of the six regents, Madden. Dodge,
Ross and Larabee, promised to vote to
Dust the Objectionable professor. How
ever. Secretary John Madden, of the,
board ofresents, weakened at the last
moment and voted with Regents
Richie and Turner to retain Chris
man as teacher This left the vote a
board to discharge, Mr.. Madden was re-
'sponsible for keeping Chrisman in his
| place. e.
j Aco ~,
2ure to GUST Chrisman there will proba-
bly, be boycott Of the school by the
young women of Kansas at the next
term. The Normal School has been for
years the principal training school for
teachers in Kansas. Hundreds OF
Young women Of the state attend every
year in order to. fit themselves for
teaching. The fight against Chrisman
was conducted in great many places
by these young women, and it is be-
lieved that their failure to have the
professor discharged viii lead many of
4 them to refuse to reenter the school this
fall and that they will use their infiu-
ence to keep other girls ont OF the
1 school.
The regents of the school have no
particular Ill feeling toward Professor
Chrisman. They consider his work
first class as an instructor and they are
not worried about his theories. provid-
ing they do not conflict with the rules
lof the institution. One of the regents
explained the vote today as follows:
| We would have been unanimous for
the retention of Chrisman had not our
wives been so persistent In their fight
against him. You know fellow will
give in to lis Wife after while, es-
Epecially where 1t costs him nothing.
Some of us were compelled TO vote
against the professor or leave home"
