Bierney for the Mcmorialists Opens
Against the senator.

WASHINGTON. April Argument in
the case OF Senator Clark, OF Montana was
begun by counsel for the memorialists to-
day before the senate committee on privi-
leges and election.
Arthur A. Bierney. counsel for the me-
morialist. was the first speaker. He began
by laying down the conclusions OF Law upon
which the memorialists rest their case. hut
said no effort would he made to make
much of these because they considered their
case was too strong to rest upon any mere
technicality The facts were strong
Bierney oontended that Clark had become
a candidate as early as August 1888. and
determined to go To the senate regardless
of all considerations Of virtue and morally
While claiming the necessity of Wrestling
control Of state affairs from DAILY. Clark
when on the witness stand had been IN

power had been exercised I'm opposition to
the best Interests OF the state. Bla-ncy
commented at length on Clarks testimony
contending that the senator had presented
himself In a most unenyiable position.
Biemey had not concluded when the com

in support of the bill.
Lane one of the Republicans who OPP

sition and warning his Republican asso-

Republican Gains Noticeable in All
the City EIections.

OMAHA. Neb. April 3.-The city and
village elections were held throughout Ne
braska today with the exception of
Omaha. The main issue in most of the
smaller places was license. and the re-
suits are mixed. the greater number OF
towns apparently being favorable to H.

party politics cut little figure in the
smaller towns, yet Republican gains are
noticeable all over the state.
South omaha, for the first time in it's
history, elects a Republican mayor by
80 plurality.
Lincoln gives the largest Republican
majority for years, and makes a clean
sweep on the local ticket. Crete, for
years Democratic, gives a Republican
majority. oNeil and Ashland are also
Republican. Up to midnight few of the
smaller places have reported any Demo
cratic or fusion gains.

CuIberson Also Opposes.

At the conclusion OF Mason's speech Gull
berson addressed the senate In opposition
to the pending bill. 1t was his first speech
in the senate. and he was given attentive
hearing, particularly by his colleagues.
He declared that the pending measure. so
far as the tariff provisions were concerned
at least, was 'indefensible on moral. eco
nomic and constitutional grounds"
cuiberson took strong ground against
RELOCATING the control of the AFFAIRS of
Puerto Rico to congress uncontrolled by
constitutional provisions. Congress was
apt to be partisan. and. such being the
case, profiigacy and oppression were TO be
expected. As for himself, he prayed God
that the time would never come when con-
gress or any other power should have I'M
limited control over the humblest indi-
vidual IN the country.
