yet Mr. Bryan went forth in that
campaign and made the best fight
that he was capable of in support Of

/ quote here from the Record:
Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee--And Judge
Parker thanked him.
| Mr. Hitchcock - He fulfilled his

Judge Parker during or near the close
of that campaign.
Mr.. Macon-Mr. Chairman, I desire
to interrupt the gentleman just mo-

Mr.. HitchcOck-Yes.
| Mr.. MacOn-I desire to state that he
did noble work after that convention
adjourned Notwithstanding the fact
that every little 2 by 1 would be states
man in that convention had tried to
drive him out of the party.
Mr.. Hitchcock-Yes;I think the gen
tleman from Arkansas is eminently
correct In that. And now, as l have
been interrupted by the distinguished
eXspeaker and representative from
Ohio Mr.. Keiferl, want to give hin!
some figures on Ohio.
| Ollie NJ. James-Will the gentleman
from Nebraska permit me just a mo-
ment? The question asked by the gen
tleman from Ohio as to whether OF
not Judge Parker impugned the good
| faith of Bryan would seem to lead to
the inference that Bryan did not sup
port him loyalty in the campaign
Judge Parker did not intimate such a
thing.
Mr.. Keifer-Oh. yes.
Mr.. Hitchcock-No; he did not. He
simply said that Mr.. Bryan before
Parker's nomination had made speech
es or statements which were used aft
erward by Parker's enemies to hurt
him, but he in no way implied that
Bryan did not support him after he
was nominated.
Mr.. Gaines-Is it not also a fact that

Democracy In the House.
About the time that this discussion
was proceeding in the house of repre-
sentatives several reporters, rcnresent-
ing newspapers of varying political
opinions, We're attempting TO find out
whether a poll Of thr ,'9norrA tic mem

the administration is supposed to hold
in the hollow of its hand. In the dark
days of 1876 Chandler and Kellogg
were the fighting members Of the Re
publican party in the south. They
took long chances. but they delivered
the goods-to their own party. They
are not yet forgotten in the south, and
their appeal to southern Republicans
will not go UNDECIDED. At no time has
the Taft boom been so doubtful of sue
cess as today.
Mr.. Bryan and Judge Parker.
In the house of representatives re-
Gently Representative Gilbert NJ. Hitch
cock of Nebraska rose to answer GER
tain criticisms concerning Mr.. Bryans
strength as a candidate. Mr. Hitch
cock gave some figures, which perhaps
need not be repeated here. But part
Of the colloquy which occurred during
the debate has appeared only in the
Congressional Record, which few peo-
pie receive and fewer still read. The
controversy arose out Of the assertion
made by Judge Parker the other day
that Mr.. Bryan had not acted in good
faith in his support of the presiden-
tial nominee in 1904. If Judge Parker,
whom l know and personally like, had
any idea of the amount Of criticism
heaped upon Mr.. Bryan and upon his
intimate friends because of the Ne
braskan's action in supporting the
Judge he would not at this late day
express anything except gratitude for
a loyal support given under such ad-
verse circumstances.
But to return to the discussion in the
house. Mr. Keifer Of Ohio asked Mr..
Hitchcock whether Mr.. Bryan had
acted in good faith in 1904. Mr.. Hitch
cock very properly said that that was
question for Mr.. Bryan himself to
answer. But the representative went
on to say:
my opinion is that he acted in very
good faith and that he carried himself
In a model way under the circum-
stances. 1t will be remembered In
further answer to the gentleman's
question that when the great conven-
ton was held in st. Louis desperate
fight occurred in the committee on res
outions. Single handed and with a
vigor and energy and ability unparal-
leled in struggles of that sort MIR. Bry-
an for several days and several nights
succeeded by his work on the commit
tee on resolutions in preventing that
committee from reporting a platform
which he could not honestly support
and defend before the people After
the resolutions had been adopted, after
the platform had been made. after the
candidate had been nominated or about
the time he was nominated. after the
books were closed. that candidate by
J wire made without authority what he
J called and his friends called an add

Interested in beating Bryan, discovered
ninety-eight votes for him and thirty
one for Governor Johnson of MinnesO-
ia. Judge Gray had ten votes and the
rest were very much scattered. The
new poll, made by nOnpartisan Or
, ganiZation, does not show so very great
an increase in the Bryan vote, but does
show a very material difference in the
vote for the opposing possibilities"
| for there are no openly avOwed Op-
posing candidates. The total number
| of members interviewed was smaller.
Mr.. Bryans vote was larger-positive-
| ly much larger relatively-than in the
| first poll. Governor JOhnsOn's vote
was mere half of what it was report
ed to be by the news collectors of the
papers that are pressing him to the
front. But, though I am in a position
| to declare it absolutely authentic, hav
ing in my hands the names of the men
who expressed their opinions and the
personal assurance Of the men who Sc
cured these opinions that they were
| correctly reported, still attach COM
| paratively little Importance to them.
One gets better knowledge Of polit-
zeal opinion throughout the country by
| travel and by association with the peo-
pie than he does by conversation and
association with the politicians who
are sent to Washington. Not but that
! they are high types of men, believing
| that they know the sentiment of their
| districts, but as a mere matter of logic
| when you find senator or represent
alive saying: II think Mr.. Bryan will
be nominated, the people In my dis
| trict are all for him, but l think he
should withdraw in favor of a stron-
ger candidate" it makes you wonder
whether the speaker represents the peO-
pie or his own ideas. If the people are
J going to insist on Mr.. Bryan's nominal
| ton, is it for Mr. Bryan to decline it
or for any representative of the people
to urge him so to do?
Concerning Uncle Joe.
Harking back to something l wrote
| in these letters some weeks ago. l
want to reiterate emphatically what l
then said-that, while the Taft trum-
pets blow, the Hughes hnrrahs are
| loud and the Foraker fire alarm may
ring as it did in the brave days of old.
it will be well for people who are in
terested in public affairs to watch the
quiet progress toward Republican
nomination of one Uncle Joe Cannon
of Illinois. Today in Washington the
one argument urged against him is
that he is old. Even 50, most people
would match him il Il foot race against
Taft or in contest OF Wit against
Fairbanks. He has had the best ma
chine in poltics-namelE. the house of

An event Of moment in Washington

Importance of the Hughes announce

politics. l am frank enough to say
that In doing it they disappointed
many Democrats who had looked on
the controversy between the Hughes
and Taft forces in New York as likely
to cause clash which might give the
state to the Democracy. The presi-
dent, who is the leading politician Of
his party, has played his cards we'll in

for his party, not absolutely for his
candidate. He has conceded to Gov

Altogether the case has, added to
its mystery, popularity of circum-
stance which it is considered might
be explained if everything that is

was told by them.
The facts are so far gathered are as
follows
r. Rudland Bode, his wife and a
Miss Griffiths recently from Australia,
were on Sunday night in the house in
College Hills, Manoa Valley, which be-
longs to Judge Matthewman and is on
top of the hill opposite the house of
Montague Cooke. 1t is a two story
house.
This house was recently leased the

few days ago. Saturday night was
the first night of occupancy Mr.. and

by a noise and a shaking of the bed,
to find herself grappled She heard
her husband groaning; he had evident

have cried out "Be quiet or I'll kill
you and to have added indecent
words. The alleged stranger attempt
ed to choke Mrs. BOde and also held
his hand over her mouth to keep her
from screaming, marks being left on
neck and face. Mrs. Bode managed to
scream, she says, and Miss Grifiths
entered, running into the person go
