RAIL ROAD WAR IN NEBRASKA

Washington, August n.-(Special)-Rep- resentatlve Pou of North Carolina, who was in town yesterday, called attention ional platform of declaration for the restriction of immigration.
 -Four years ago there was such a declaration in the republican platform" said MT. Pou. Now there is none. It was omitted for a purpose. Manufac- turers want the cheaper labor from Europe and they do not want any further restrictions upon immigration. Republ- cans yielded to that sentiment. Labor has been growing scarcer and scarcer and the temptation to infringe upon the con- tract labor laws becomes greater.
 T have met with many labor men, added MT. Pou, who do not like the at titude of the republican party on this question. If the republicans were for restricting immigration four years ago all the more should they be for restriction now when the hordes ofundesirable Euro peans dumped upon our shores are greater than ever"
 MT. Pou believes that North Carolina will send a solid democratic delegation to congress this year.
 Railroad War In Nebraska.
 A railroad fight which figures in tho state politics of Nebraska is expected to help Mr Bryan in his fight for election to the senate. The politics of states like Nebraska and Iowa have for years been dominated by railroads The Burlington has been uppermost in Nebraska espec- ially when republicans were in power.
 George W. Holdredge, general manager of the Burlington and Missouri, has been a big power in the republican organiza- ton. The Union Pacific and the North western have interests antagonistlc to the Burlington and now the friends of these two roads are said to have the upper hand National Committeeman B. B. Schneider just appointed by Chairman Cortelyou, member of the executive committee Is close friend of E. P. Harri- man. The Union Pacific magnate Now the Burlington people for several reasons are described as up in arms against the re- publican candidates for United States senator and for state offices. They want especially to defeat the republican legis- lative tickets. No one but the republicans can lose by this railroad war.
 Report Is Premature.
 Chairman Cowherd says the report that democratic congressional committee head quarters will be moved from here to New ork city is premature. He discussed the matter with National Chairman Taggart in New York Monday but no decision was reached. New York possesses some ad- vantages for congressional committee headauarters principally in that national headquarters are located there and MT. Cowherd would keep more closely in touch with the big committee. On the other hand Washington Is more favorably situated for the distribution of literature.
 Is Patriotic and StatesmanIIke.
 Judge Parker's speech of acceptance" said Senator Carmack of Tennessee today. lis a forcible clear, straight forward statement. It is patriotic and stateS4nan- like and will strengthen the growing oDin- ion that the party has nominated a strong, brave, safe and able man. With out any conscious effort to do so. Judge Parker has made more vivid than eyer the contrast between himself and his op- ponent."
 The Wisconsin republican committee has produced another campaign document In line with the other two it devotes it's entire attention to the Lafollette faction absolutely ignoring sae democratic party in the state. There is no reference to national issues all the space being de- voted to attacking the state admnistra- tion which was turned down by the na- tional convention at Chicago.
