Colonel Bryan'- First NiSit.-Apro-
pos of Col. ". J. Bryan's recent visit to
Washington story is being told of the
first trip he made to the National Capital
after he was elected to Congress ten years
ago. 1t also illustrates the marvellous
growth OF the Nebraskan in national i'm
portance and influence. When he came
TO Washington to attend his first session
of Congress he was accompanied by
small party OF Nebraska admirers. They
came in over the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. The Nebraskans entered the
first hotel they saw after landing, which
was cheap but respectable hosiery
across he street from the station. They
registered without attracting any atten-
ton from the hotel clerk or office loung-
ers. The then unknown Congressman
started to lead the way to the rooms
assigned him and his friends. when the
clerk sternly informed the budding Pres
idential candidate that before going to the
room he must comply with the invariable
rule of the hotel. which was that I'M
known guests with small amounts OF
baggage we're required to pay in advance
One member of the party is said to have
become incensed at what he regarded as
the indignity and wanted to leave the
house at once. But Colonel Bryan's hard,
common sense asserted itself. and he
auieted the indignation OF his friend. and
the Nebraskans paid their bill in ad-
vance.

occurs to US to suggest to Senator Chan

ment in Montana as to the merits Of the

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP
Texan. Are scheminr. The Tex,

Texans Are schcminE. - The Texas
delegation is preparing TO start boom
for Senator-Ccckrell of Missouri for Chair
man of the Democratic National Congress
siunal Committee. The distinguished
Missourian, than whom there is no wiser
or more energetic legislator in Washing
ton, has not yet been approached on the
subject. though ii is not believed he would
shirk the arduous duties and thankless
responsibilities of the position II he were
convinced that his services were demand
ed. What there is back OF the Texas move
ment aside from confidence in Senator
Cockrell's ability and great capacity for
work is not known. That feature of tne
matter. however is the subject of varied
surmise. II is suggested that the Texans
are still hopeful of making their bright
young Senator Culbersun Chairman OF the
National Committee in succession to Sena-
tor Jones of Arkansas. whom some Well
informed persons profess to believe is not
as close to Colonel Bryan now as he was
before the Nebraskans visit to Washing
ton last week. To this end 1t is limited
that the Texans want to do something to
bring themselves in closer communioa
with the Missourians than they have been
since the Hon J. W. Bailey used them for
on the clear-headed and able Judge De
Almond in the party leadership contest.
II is said they believe that in urging Sena-
tor Cockrell for manager of the Congress
sional campaign the MissOurians of promi-
nence in and out OF Congress will support
the Texas candidate for Chairman of the
National Committee Mean time it is
thought that Senator Jones has fully made
up his mind to fight hard for reelection
to The National Craftsmanship and It is be-
lieN I'd that the frequent conferences be-
tween him and Senator Cuberson during
the past few days is on this subject An
other Interpretation being put upon the
conduct of the Texans In this matter Is
that they hope TO put member OF their
delegation at the head of the Congress
sional Committee In the event that Senator
Cuibarson should not consent actively TO
enter The race for Senator Jones place. 1t
is believed that in this event the Texans
would bring forward Representative James
l.. S!ayden. OF San Antonio. for the Con-
gressional craftsmanship. Mr.. Slayden was
a man Of large affairs before coming to
Congress. and is In close touch with the
cotton. wool. live stock. and banking IN
terests of the country. II he should not be
urged for the position by his colleagues ii
Is considered probable that Representa-
tive Thomas Ball would be their choice.
Mr. Ball has had a great deal of experience
in national politics and has high rank In
the House From all OF these surmises
1t is quite evident that the Texans have
determined to take n conspicuous part in
future party management.

been at the front in movements for
the welfare of the city and district.
His successor in the Central Drug
store il young man well qualified to
carry ON the business, and there il no
doubt that he will meet with the same
success gained by his predecessor.
Mr.. Wright has been in the store Is
pharmacist the past two and half
years. and has made many friends.
He is . graduate Of the Northwestern
University of Chicago. and had some
six or eight years. experience in the
drug business in Chicago and Phila-

management of the store by his
