Nal Hill, former United States Sen
NJ ator, and! for a long time leader
4 OF the Democratic party In this
State. sailed for Europe to-day
on the steamer Baltic. Discussing his
retirement from active politics, Mr..
Hill said:
There is 20 Democratic party. When
! met the late Governor Altgeld in a
little room up back stairs in Chi
cago hotel, shortly before the first So
called Bryan convention. told him
that the policies which he represented
would drive the Democratic party to
hell. Then. when he begged for another
try four years later, said: You are
most there; stop before you have abso-
lutely ruined the party. But Bryan
was nominated, as L saw the futiIity
OF minority report. with only ten
votes to back me.
Both Disorsnnized.

is badly disorganized at the present

There was an opportunity. but fear
that IT has been overlooked.
The key OF this political campaign
should be Taft the candidate OF po-
litical patronage What else is he?
He Is put before the people as can
didate by the power of political pa

Now. both sides In the coming po-
litical struggle Will have 10 go to the
masses for their votes. They must
draw from the masses, and what better
man could stand against the candi-
dates representing the power of pa

his boyhood days in county poor
house? Think ofsit. Torchligt process

Mr.. Johnson is more than mere near.
to-the-people candidate; he is well
balanced man and an able man.
Hill Is Bitter.
To every Democrat Bryan says:
I kept the faith 1t makes me smile.
He kept the faith, indeed He kept it
out in Nebraska, his own State, which
is now Republican to its political core.
The Democratic party never wanted
Mr. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan wanted the
Democratic party. He forced himself
on the party In 1896, and again on what
was left of the party in 1900, and now,
in 1908. he calls himself the Democratic
party. and says: I have kept the
faith.'"

and the English courts, former Senator
Hill will visit the Reichstag and pos
sibly other foreign Parliaments.

FIGHT FOR PROHIBITION

| Opposition of Bryan to Be Used as
| Lever TO Get Democratic Votes.
MILWAUKEE. WIS, June 11.-Pre-
dieting great gains in the South. with
possibly victory in all Southern pro-
hibition States, State Chairman Alonzo
| Wilson, of Illinois. told the Wisconsin
State Prohibition Convention here to-
day that the foundation Of his ex
pectation is the alleged opposition of
William j. Bryan to prohibition.
.In $780," said Mr.. Wilson, "Air.
Bryan stumped Nebraska against a pro-
hibition amendment to the Nebraska
Constitution. I have also in my pos
session copy OF a letter from Mr..
Bryan to Southern men who desire a
plank for prohibition in the Demo-
cratic national platform. In this letter
Mr.. Bryan declares that If his wishes
are followed, there will be no such
plank in the platform. AS Mr.. Bryan
is in control Of the Democratic party,
his platform desires will undoubtedly
control in the Democratic National
Convention, and therefore no prohibi-
tion can be expected from that conven-
tion." y
MI. Wilson said this was the ex-
pectation of the Southern delegates
who had been looking into the sub
ject. !Ie said he was to leave for the
South tonight to confer with leading
prohibition Democrats about their sup
port of the Prohibition party ifno pro-
yer platform.
Mr.. Bryan Explains.
LINCOLN, NEB., June 4 .--Feferring
tonight to a dispatch from Milwaukee
concerning his attitude on prohibition,
Mr., Bryan said: II have received many
letters from prohrbittonists. and many
from opponents of prohibitions, and I
have answered them all in the same
way. I have told them did not re-
gard the question as national ques-
3tton. While 1t is an issue In number
of States. / do not expect it to be
made an issue by either the Republican
or the Democratic National Conventions.
II have made 1t a rule not to discuss
matters outside the platform, because
the candidate has no right to inject
Issues which his platform excludes.
.'In answer to questions about my
own record on the subject, l have
stated, never having used liquor as
a. bevera &c. but in 1890. I voted against
the State prohibition amendment. be-
had, with local option, was better suit
ed to the conditions we had to meet
in our State, When an attempt has
been made to draw conclusions from
this as to what ought to be done in
other states, have called attention to-
the fact that State laws ought to be
made to. meet the conditions existing
n8tne State, and that what did in
Nebraska could not he guide in
States where conditions We're diff
terent."

Eastern Newspaper Literature.

One of the ncurable habits of the far east press is
its happy exploitation of the phraseology of the far
west press and if it cannot find the exact material
for the absurdities of expression in which it delights
it to the office factory for we'll rounded west
ernsms with which to tickle the rsbilities of the
perfect people whom it serves
There exists, of course, silent protest along the
sunset side of the continent against such extrava-
gances of perverted English and literary plumbers as
are commonly attributed to its newspaper representa-
tives and may be excused for occasionally striking
back with some manifestation of satisfaction.
When it finds in the eminently respectable and
greatly adored New York Tribune an expression like
the following there is certainly both reason and ex
for calling attention to grave departure from
the proprietes that should be rigdly guarded in
every newspaper establishment:
When Miss Jean Reid daughter of Whitelaw
Reid, the American ambassador to Great Britain,
goes to the altar of the Chapel Royal the after
noon of June 49, to be married to the Hon. John
Hubert Ward she will wear, with the exception of
the engagement ring, which is a large ruby set in
diamonds only three pieces of jewelry and these all
will be od-fashloned clasp bracelets
Such the reprehensibe language of the Lon
don correspondent of the New York Tribune, writ
ing of the greatest event in the lifetime of the
daughter of the editor of The Tribune He may
have enjoyed than the customary latitude given
the hirelings of the press it being family affair."
but if such awound had been inflicted on the semi
tiveness of far west BRIDE it is possible that the
gun would speak until honor was satiated
Even the New York Tribue could profit by giving
close attention to the style of the western press
There is not sagebrush editor who wouldn't have

more complete the story of her wedding day.
