WILL NOT MAKE THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR
CFrom a stan correspondent

LINCOLN, June 7.-(special.)-w. J.
Bryan says he believes he can accomplish
more in national politics than he can in
state politics and for that reason does not
desire to be the fusion nominee for gov
ernor. He makes this declaration in re-
spouse to an editorial which recently APP
peared in the Lincoln Daily Post, the local
fusion organ. The Post reproduced ex-
Senator Aliens editorial %utterance In this
regard and added that there was not a
candidate for governor in either the demo-
cratic or populist party who would not
throw up his hat for Mr.. Bryan II he would
consent to the nomination. Mr.. Bryan
says:
Please say that 1 am not and can not be
a candidate. believe can accomplish
more in national politics than I can in state
politics, and besides do not intend to
lists who have given me such loyal sup
port. There are a dozen or more who can
poll the entire fusion strength, and there is
no reason why my name should be men
toned in connection with this ONCE. Inc
next issue Of the Commoner will contain
for the kind words. but the parties must
pick out another man.
want Tuberculosis Hospital.
The next legislature will be asked to
make an appropriation for the maintenance
OF a hospital for sufferers from tuberculosis.
The movement is backed by the American
Congress OF tuberculosis, and will be dupli-
Gated in other states. The congress met
this week in New York. DR.. J. H. Tyndale
Of this city, who went as the ofhcial dele
gate from Nebraska returned today.
DELEGATES were at the meeting from
every country in the western hemisphere"
said DR.. Tyndale, from the province OF
Ontario and Alaska on the north, to
Uruguay, Chilli and the Central American
states. Much attention was paid to the
delegates from Cuba, Porto Rico, the
Hawaiian islands and Hayti, the represent
tative Of the latter being a fuH-blooded
negro of the darkest type. II was noted
that these foreigners had very good COM
mand Of the English language and said the
right things in the right place, which the
Americans did not always do.
The secretary at the opening Of the
meeting motloned to me to assist him in
pointing out prominent men for the COM
mittee on standing resolutions. l promptly
seized upon the Craftsmanship myself and
sought out the others in the hall as asso-
ciate members by asking their name and
state represented, thus distributing the COM
mittee over various sections Of the coun-
try.
Much good was accomplished at the con-
gress, both in regard to recommending
municipal. state and general government
legislation and in fixing upon actual
methods, by which state aid can be pro-
+, cured for the support Of sanitaria for poor
c~onsumptives. While much theoretical talk
was INDUCED in much of 1t was converted
into action and the results will shortly be
seen in the various states.
at the next session Of the Nebraska
Legislature the appropriation committees OF
the senate and house will be asked for an
appropriation for the maintenance Of al
state hospital for tuberculosis, in some sub
stantial building already in existence. All
physicians in the state will be asked to
bring pressure to bear upon the represen-
tatives to aid in the matter. The governor
also will be asked to embody a IN
dalton with this object in view in his mes
sage to the legislature"
The heads OF all departments at the state
house have signed an agreement to relieve
their clerks from duty each Saturday aft
ernoon during the months OF June, July and
August. The new order went into effect
today, and in consequence all official bust
ness was practically suspended at noon.
William c. Babbit, an employe Of the Gas
company. made an unsuccessful effort to
