Lincoln, Nov. 5.---The sugges-
tion to make Bryan a senator from
Nebraska Is spreading here among
Democrats, and If the leaders have
their way, Bryan will oppose Sena-
tor Burkett when he comes up for
reelection two years hence. They
say they propose to clear the
track of opposition candidates
within the party and so put it to
Mr.. Bryan that he cannot refuse
to become the party candidate in
1910.
In Nebraska, the plan is for
each party to nominate a candi-
date for senator, but this is mere
ly intended as u guide to the
Legislature, upon which the re-
suit at the polls is not binding.
The Democratic plan now is to
adopt the Oregon Idea at the
coming session, so that in 1910
Nebraska voters may choose their
senator just as they do their COVER
nor. To this end they propose to
make such a record at the coming
legislative session as will keep the
party in favor.

Friday afternoon. 1t is said the

An authorized statement issued
Friday was to the effect that the
liquor interests will not ask for
any amendment of the Rose coun.

the liquor interests will ask the
General Assembly for an amend

license to saloons, with regula-
tion Of the liquor traffic. The
model of State license laws now
