DOUBT AS TO INJUNCTION PLANK
Democratic Leader Sets Big Scare that
May Affect Platform.


FAIRVIEW, LINCOLN, Neb., July 2.-
titled w. ]. Bryan that in their opinion
ion the a~nti-injunction plank OF the plat
form adopted at Denver was hardly worth
the paper it was written on, the reason
alleged by them being that the David B.
Hill bill, passed by the senate, which 10
specifically endorsed by the democracy.
simply carried out the common low pro-
vision granting a jury trial in contempt
cases 'in the jurisdiction of the presid-
ing Judge" The plank was drafted on the
assumption that the Hill bill was passed
only after 1t had been amended by Senator
Allen Of Nebraska to make the trial by
jury provision mandatory at the demand
of the defendant.
Mr.. Bryan spent several anxious hours
after he received this Information. While
reasonably sure Of his ground, the allega-
ton that he and the majority Of the COM
mittee on resolutions had been "tricked"
caused him worry and he admitted that
he was to have an inquiry set on foot.
The Associated Press correspondent this
afternoon relieved his suspense by ex-
planning to him that advices from Wash
ington showed that the Hill bill, as finally
adopted by the United States senate in
1886, provided for the summary punishment
by the court iE direct contempt cases, but
making it mandatory for the court to grant
a trial by jury in all cases where such
contempt was committed outside of the
jurisdiction Of the court and where such
jury trial was demanded by the accused.
This was the Allen amendment, as Bryan
remembered it, and it cleared up what
threatened to become an awkward situation
for the democratic candidate for the presl-
dency.
The part that the prohibition question
will play in the campaign was talked
over between Mr.. Bryan and Wiley j.
Phillips, editor of the California Voice OF
Los Angeles, who is returning from CO.
lumbus, o., where he was a delegate TO
the national prohibition convention.
Late this evening George r. Williams OF
Boston arrived and was driven from the
station to Fairview by Mr., Bryan. The

From a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, July 21.-(Specisl.)-The above
shows in a nutshell what the assessors In
eighty-two counties have done in the mat
ter of fixing the value of real estate this
year. Eight counties have not yet made re-
turns to the state board, and these will
swell the total probably S,50o,Ooo. The
counties out are Custer, Gage, Grant, Holt,
Hooker, Nance, SCOTS Bluff and Valley.
The total assessed value c. lands and lots
for 1908 in the e~ighty-two counties base
been returned at 1926, SIS, 01s. against $751;
343, $50, returned for the same counties last
year. Five times these amounts represent
the actual value OF the lands and lots, or
81, 1872, e29, 900 for 1908, and 1905, u.s. 800 for 1907.
This makes an increase in the actual value
OF lands and lots Of $27s, POS, $780,.
Edison Rich, attorney for the Union Pa
cific, who was in Lincoln today said he
was we'll satisfied with the valuation Of
real estate.
by comparing our record Of transfers"
he said, I'VE have found in many instances
the assessor has assessed the land at it's
full actual value as shown in the transfers.
| sha shortly withdraw my application
for a mandamus to compel the state board
to increase the value of real estate. We
are satisfied with the valuation as placed
on this class of property by the assessors"
1t is impossible at this time to make a
comparison of the personal property in the
various counties, because the value of the
railroads has not yet been added to the
rolls for this year, though this property
is included in the rolls of last year.

Candidates Getting Busy.

Only four republican candidates for cleo
tors have filed their names with the sec
rctay of state. They are: j, J. LANCER OF
Saline county, candidate for elector-at-
large; George F. Hurlburt Of the Fourth
district, J. p. Eaton OF the Third district
and {. A. Luce of the Fifth district.
Tom Allen, chairman Of the democratic
state committee, secured blanks from the
secretary of state this afternoon upon
which to make filing for both the demo-
cratic and populist candidates for electors.
The same eight names will be used for
both. They are: NJ. F, Harrington and
Henry Gering. for electors-st-large. and the
following district candidates: First dis
trict. Rudolph Uatsky: Second district, s.
Neble; Third district, DouF,,sss Shaw Van;
Fourth district. f. o. WcOrr; Fifth dis
trict, Frank Swanson; SIXTH district, A..
d. Cameron. These men were endorsed by
the democratic and populist conventions
held last spring.
Mr.. Allen says the state organization is
entitled to the name, peoples independent
party. notwithstanding the state dele
cation withdrew from the national populist
platform and refused to stand for Watson
for president. The populists. he said, have
a right to have names placed upon the
primary ballots, but the names which he
will file will go on the ballot in brackets
as the candidates of both parties. Should
these eight mem be successful in securing
a majority OF both democratic and popu-
list votes he says they will go on the ballot
this fall in brackets as fusion electors
pledged to Mr.. Bryan.
The secretary Of state is not sure that
Mr.. Allen is right. He is Of the opinion
MIR. Watson is entitled to use the name
peoples independent party in the fall cleo
ton. Should Mr.. Watson make a demand
for the use OF the name, the secretary prob
ably would throw the matter into the
courts for a decision.

would constitute good causes for
granting the relief requested. The
applications of the other thirty-fye

hardship which the carriers ought not
to be subjected to.
