BRYAN HAS CLEAR FIELD
FOR DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. .. -
The presence in Washington of Will
liam Jennings Bryan and Gov. John
A. Johnson of Minnesota, Democratic
Presidential possibilities, and of the
entire membership of the Republican
National Committee. together with
representatives of every candidate for
the Republican nomination, served
to make of the capital city last week
Il hotbed of national politics. As was
ably expressed by Republican poll
tician of national standing i'm sum-
ming up the significance of these
events: THE result so far as any
candidate in either party is concern
ar will be nil; the conventions will
settle all political disputes now pend
ing"
Bryan Confers With Party Men
Mr.. Bryan's visit to Washington
was mostly political and partly social
III character. Throughout his visit
he was engaged in conference with
many of the Democratic leaders in
Congress. both on political and leg
iGlative matters, and 1t can be truth
fully said that the result of his talks
with Democratic leaders mas for once
not been destructive of the few re-
manning shreds of Democratic .har-
mony. In fact, the events of the
week indicate that there is rather
more Democratic harmony in Demo-
cratic ranks in Congress than porvad-
cd that political phalanX when Con-
Ercss adjourned last spring.
Why Williams Was Suspected
That lack of harmony which found
expression in the House of Reprcsen-
tatives throughout the last session of
Congress was due primarily to the
belief among the loyal, outspOken
supporters of Mr.. Bryan that John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi. DEM
Ocratic minority leader In the House,
was opposed to Mr.. Bryan's nominal
ton next year. Ever since Mr.. Will
liams allied himself with other South
crn leaders in 1904 to promote the
boom of Judge Alton B. Parker of
New York, he has been Under suspi-
cion by the radicals. The William
II. Hearst element in the House,
which is more radical than some of
the Bryan men, has been particularly
savage in its attacks on Mr.. Williams
leadership. .
Speech in Support Of leader
An opposition to M. Williams In
the House, except for handful of
Democrats who have personal gricv-
ances against him, was dissipated by
the speech Mr.. Williams made at the
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1907-12-28

bryan dinner in Washington, In
which he came out unqualifedly for
Mr.. Bryan as the Democratic noml-
nee for President. Until that time
representative De Almond of Mis-
souri, had been in the field against
Mr. Williams for minority leader of
the House. He withdrew next day
and Mr.. Williams not only received a
Unanimous election as minority lead
or but a proposition brought up in
Democratic caucus to shear him of
the power of selecting Democratic
members on the House committees re-
Ceived only votes to 1926 against
Such vote taken this time last year
would have shown a much larger OPP
position to Mr.. Williams.
Culberson for National Chairman
Harmony thus begun under such
cheerful auspices is fully expected to
flourish under the tactrul. diplomatic
management of Senator Culberson,
who may become the chairman of the
next Democratic National Committee
If he will accept. To the position he
now holds and to the one he may
yet receive Senator Culberson brings
perhaps the broadcast experience of
amy Southern man who has ever at
tempted TO rule the representatives
of the Democratic party in both
South and North at the same time
1t can be safely said that there is Il
better prospect of harmony in the
Senate, at least, under his leadership
than there has been under any recent
Democratic leader and better UNI
Outstanding of the application Of
Democratic principles to the North
as well as the South than has been
seen in the Senate for some time.
This Is stated despite the fact that
the grim reaper of politics has prac-
tically stripped the Senate of North
crn Democratic Senators.
Leaders Determined to Unite
This was the situation Mr.. Bryan
found at the Capitol on his recent
visit. He also found the Democratic
leaders in both House and Senate de-
tCrmined to unite for the advance
ment of Democratic principles, some
thing that has not been done in sew
Cral sessions of Congress. 1t is now
the plan of the Democrats to make
the issues for the next campaign on
the floor of the House and Senate.
They propose to pick out those issues
where they are strongest and their
opponents weakest, and try to win
the preliminary battles with them in
Congress, where the people can eth

REFUSE 70 ACCEPT
0lSON'S RESIGNATION
Board OF Supervisors
Take Things Into
Own Hands

For all of the fact that Deputy
County Attorney Olson had been ask
ed by County Attorney Cathcart to
resign, and his resignation had been
received, the Board of Supervisors
voted last night to still retain Olson.
This was in compliance with a
power vested in them by the law to
the effect that the Board must ratiry
such designations.
Two friendly little notes read by
Chairman lIustace started the discus
sion among the Supervisors as to
whether they should or should not
accept OlsOn's resignation. One COM
munication was from Cathcart to the
Board and the other was Olson's res
ignation. Both were sweet affairs,
lOncycd words and all that sort of
thing.
Chairman IIustace explained at
great length that at n superficial
glance the letters appeared all right,
hut when all the underlying and
hidden meanings were studied out,
It would be seen that Cathcart had Il
little game to play. And the whole
question is, gentlemen" he contin-
ued, shall we accept Mr.. Olson's res
ignation?"
Archer expressed himself in favor
ct accepting, also giving his reasons
.gt great length. Although 1t was
generally thought that Olson had
been virtually compelled to resign,
Archer noted that nothing was evil
dent on the face of the matter. But
Fern was not satisfied with this. lie
asked Olson, who was present, whe-
Their he was compelled to resign or
not.
81 was requested TO resign, which
means the same thing, and | natural
~ did so" replied Olson.
The question came up then why
Cathcart let Olson go, and Hustace
explained that 1t was because he
(CathCarD wanted more assistance
in his court work. But, he said, we
are all satisfied with Mr.. Olson and
there Is no reason to discharge him.
Cox and Archer were fearful lest,
II Olson were retained, there should
be friction in the County Attorneys
Office. Hustace came bacl, at them
with n reminder of the Boards pow
crs and duties in such eases.
The discussion became so thick and
fast at this juncture that the English
language would not suffice Tor the cX-
preston OF feelings, and the Hawaii
an tongue was employed. Finally,
rowever, IlustaCe reminded the
l!Oard that there wasn't very much
work being done, and Fern cut in
With motion to refuse to accept Oh
sons resignation. This motion car
ried with a vote of four to three.
The amendment to the automobile
ordinance, lowering the age limit on
Chauffcurs to fifteen years, was read
for the third time and passed by a
unanimous vote, not word in oppO-
sition or criticism being evoked.

ALL Q. X.

In addition to the Invariably en-

lowing from Pres. Small was read
to the local union this morning:
1.-The strike continues, with the
brightest possible prospects for the
strikers. We have agents within
earshot of every official of both
companies, and therefore know
whereof we speak when we say
that the conditions are worse today
for the companies than when the
strike was called
The operators keep posted on the
progress of the strike by exchange
of daily letters and copies of the
Mailogram, daily condensation OF
all reports sent in to headquarters
at New York. They also have a
strike paper called Fair Play. Con-
siderable important news to the
operators gets through on the
wires some way, so the men here
are as well informed on what Is
going on as If the wires We're work
ing regularly as ever.
All the men here are as confident
of winning as when they went out,
and none of them are worrying over
the living problem.

Coal to the right of him, coal

That, or something like 1t, was

when he caught some boys apprO-
priating coal. Childs, disappearing
of the expedition. attempted to sur
round and capture the despoilers OF

There Is where Childs overlooked
a point in military strategy. He
should have approached In skirmish
order, concealing the firing line as
much as possible. Instead of that,
he advanced in solid column.
Those kids never ran a step.
They promptly opened fire on
Childs with handy sized chunks OF
coal.
Soak him, fellers," yelled the
commanding officer Of the defense,
and they certainly soaked him.
Childs wavered. recovered, reform
ed and charged again, but the
slaughter was too terrific. He
finally retreated in great disorder,
but managed to bring from the field
the little 4-wheeled cart the pirates
had brought to load with their
booty. This he took to the police
station for safe keeping. The po-
lice are holding 1t under guard.
