BRYAN TO PULL OUR jim OUT
Scheme of AntI-DahImanites is TO
Request This for Hnr-
mOnY.

Mr.. Bryan will be asked to pull Mayor
Dahlman out of the gubernatorial race in
the interest of harmony. This is the de-
termination of number of local democrats
who intend to go to Lincoln and importune
the presidential candidate to inject his per-
sonality into the state campaign to save
his own neck, which they say will be in
Jeopardy unless harmony is brought about
in Douglas county.
Mayor Dahlman characterizes the pro-
ceedings as "moonshlne," and doubts IL
Mr. Bryan will listen to the pleas of the
Omaha democrats The mayor called on
Mr. Bryan last Sunday and he says that
II he will listen to the Douglas county dele
CATION he has changed his mind since then
Mr. Dahlman received filing blanks
Wednesday from Lincoln and says he will
file this week
Harmony will never prevail in Douglas
county as long as Mayor Dahlman remains
in the spotlight and many democrats have
come to the conclusion that there ought
TO be but one candidate for a state office
from this county" says one of these dis
seniors to the mayors program, who will
not permit the use OF his name. 'Lysle
! Abbott could run for attorney general with
out stirring up any strife, and there would
| be no contention over his candidacy, Dut
| the fat would be In the fire the minute
Mr.. Dahlman filed for governor. There are
! two other candidates out in the state, Mr.
Berge and Mr.. Shallenberger, and they
ought to be allowed to fight 1t out between
| themselves.
Mr.. Bryan will be shown that Mayor
Dahlman's candidacy will bring the TEN.
perance question into the campaign and
he might as well tie a milestone to his
neck as to hitch up with Dahlman. for who
ever is nominated for governor will carry
the impression of having received Mr.
Bryan's stamp OF approval. MIR. Bryan will
not make any special bid for prohibition
votes. but, then, he naturally expects man!
on account of Judge Taft's advocacy OF tn,
army canteen. Bat with Mayor Dahlmai
running for governor, where would Mr.
Bryans prohibition votes be?"
Leading Jacks will neither affirm or den,
the report that the old political club vii
oppose Mayor Dahlman's gubernatoria
candidacy. They say there is plenty o
time left in which to decide upon a candi
date and they want to wait until all hav
filed before they pick their champion.

LINCOLN, July 22.-(special Telegram.)-
The democratic candidates incubator
known officially as the state commission
got busy today TO hatch out harmony
ticket, and the results failed to JUSTIFY the
setting While q few new eggs were
mined. none of the old setting could be
thrown out. And so George washington
Berge, Ashton c. shellenberger and Mayor
James Charles Dahlman are still scratching
for the governors nest.
Head Rooster Tom Allen set mighty
fine example for the other chickens when
he announced he had been the head Grower
for so many years and It was time for him
to quit But the whole brood cackled'
Nay nay. Pauline
The rooster that can scratch out SO 600

same E. o. Garrett candidate for
lieutenant governor was also on the
ground scratching for support, then there
were a half dozen candidates for con-
gress more or less, including Judge West

Fifth districts.
George Rogers Of Omaha strutted
around telling about the big Dahlman

said THE Jacksonians may hitch onto

Mr. Flaherty was expected to follow VI

PRESIDENT ON BETTER NAVY
Wants First-Class Fighting Navy or
None at All.
MEETS OFFICERS AT NEWPORT
Expresses Hope Nation win Never
Have TO Use WRrships for
Protection or Of
fenHe.

NEWPORT July 22.-President Roosevelt
after an adventurous night trip in the
fog from oyster bay during which his
yacht, the Mayflower, ran down and sank
a lumber schooner rescuing the crew OF
six men on board. arrived here at e:45 a. m.
today and later at the naval war college
addressed a conference OF nearly 100 Off
GERS representing all branches Of the ser
vice, to consider plans for new American
battleships.
President Roosevelt made a stirring APP
peal for a hard-fighting navy.
Il want a first class fighting navy or no
navy at ALL" said the president, because
first class fighting navy is the most
effective guarantee of peace this nation can
have"
There are always a number of amiable
and we'll meaning people" continued Presi-
dent Roosevelt, "who believe in having
navy merely for coast defense. purely
defensive navy would be almost worthless.
To advocate such a navy Is like advocating
school OF prize fighting in which no one
should do anything but parry.
! Il hope this nation will never have to
hit We should do everything that honor
ably can be done to avoid trouble. But
| when we do go to war, that war is only
excusablc If the navy is prepared to ham
mer its opponent until he quits fighting.
And you can't hammer your opponent If
you wait for him to come to the coast and
hammer you first. For the protection of
our coasts we need Notifications so that
the navy may be left free to stretch out
and destroy the enemy. That is Its fuuc-
ton"
President Roosevelt declared that even
IL the United States had no island posses
sions, the need for an aggressive naval
policy would still be present. THE Monroe
doctrine" he declared had almost fallen
into disgrace and contempt until the Ameri'
can nation began to build up its navy"
Discusses Regulation Question.
Discussing the question of immigration
, the president declares that the American
people have a right to say who shall com
and dwell among them.
, 1T is our duty" he declared, to ito exer
else that right In a way calculated to pro
woke the least friction. II we choose t
say who shall come, however, we must b
in trim to uphold that right in case any
> body challenges it."
The president returned to the Mayflowe
at p. m, and the yact sailed shortly afte
for Oyster Bay, the naval vessels in tn
- harbor firing salutes as the Mayflowe

send Col. Harry B. Smith to look over
the situation and he would act as

Late in the day two cars were start

The men killed were foreigners, six
Of the injured were Americans and
the others foreigners. All the in
jured were removed to a hospital
here, where it was said their injur-
les are not serious.
No official statement on the cause
Of the explosion has been issued, but
old converter mill men say the cause
could hardly be other than that some
Of the molten metal slfted through
the soapstone lining of the converter
and came in contact with the steel
sheathing which perhaps was damp
When the explosion occurred the
bottom Of the converter dropped out,
throwing Is tons of molten metal into
the pit, where 15 men were working
at the ladies. There was no eXplo-
sion when the hot mass of steel
struck the bottom of the pit, but in
stead flames Of burning gas were sent
up which burned the men in the pit
The two men who were killed had
been working under the converter
and their bodies were terribly man
gled
The force of the explosion blew the
sheet iron roof off the converter mill
and caused two of the walls to col
