That sweet Little Bait.

Ed Bergman, secretary Of the Jacks,
conductor of states for that organization,
manager of its excursions and In short
generalissimo of the whole organization,
writes the president of the Jim club ask
ing that official to let him (BerTyman)
do whatever the Jims will. Mr.. Bergman
wrote his letter on Friday, addressing it
to Thomas ]. Flynn, president of the Dahl
man Democracy. The epistle was quite
lengthy, but one sentence culled from 1t
tells the whole story:
II am yours to command II l can do
anything to help along the cause of Ne
braska for Bryan"
Needless to say, the Bergman letter has
caused excessive jollification among the
Jims and many we're the paen of praise
offered up at the meeting Saturday after
noon OF the democratic county central
committee by those who knew of the ca
pitulation of the Jack leader. Mr.. Berry,
man was not present at the committee
meeting Saturday afternoon-he Is not a

committee-but he paid a visit to the Jims
Friday afternoon, the first time he was

Charles e. Tanning, Joseph p. Butler and

club rooms they nearly tainted away, but
recovered themselves in time to give him
the glad HAND and welcome him along

Sink,

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The steamer
Commonwealth, newest and largest of the
Fall River Lines Sound steamers arrived
at this port today after colliding with and
sinking the Norwegian freight steamer
Volund in a dense fog off Race Rock at the
eastern entrance to Lond Island sound this
morning.
The Wounds officers, the captains wife
and crew, were rescued and brought here
on the Commonwealth.
The bow of the Fall River liner was
smashed above the water line in the col
lision, but the damage was not considered
serious.
The collision took place at 1;2O a. M, as
the steamers were feeling their way
through a thick fog. AS the two vessels
came together, the captain of the volund
rushed on the deck and assisted his wife
to climb upon the Commemorative bow,
which had cut a great cash In the Vo-
lund's side. Three members of the Wounds
crew also climbed on board the Common
wealth. The steamers then drifted apart,
the boilers of the Volund exploding as it
sank.
While CONSERVATION reigned among the
passengers on the Commonwealth. a volun-
teer crew of naval men bound from New
port to Washington, commanded by Quar-
termaster Weber, name one Of the
Commemorative cutters while the Com
monwealth's crew manned two other cut
tiers and picked up the captain and eleven
men from the Volund who were clinging
to pieces of wreckage. One member of the
Wounds crew was injured, which consti-
tuted the only casualty.

Il admit that the republicans have been

Butler. but while l hate to follow the
lead Of our opponents. l believe We ought
to have a committeeman-at-large from
each ward so that we can do as effective
work as the republicans"
Mr.. Butler failed to notice Chairman
Flynn's warning finger. but when another
committeeman started to give away some
OF the party's secrets and to confess that
the republicans had n better organization
Chairman Flynn promptly stopped him.

for a republican paper and we can talk

Tries for Big Meeting.
Upon the motion OF George sterrett, mem
Der from South Omaha, the committee de-
cided to try to arrange for a big political
meeting in that city Immediately after the
visit of this man Taft" as the republican
nominee was called by the South Omaha
member, to Omaha next Thursday. The
committee also decided to hold meetings In
each ward in both cities on Monday even
ing, October 5, the evening before the first
day of registration.
Inc committee discussed at some length
the appointment Of judges of election, L.
D. Pickard stating that they ought to see
to 1t that the man who is empowered to
show the uninitiated how to operate the vot-
ing machines is a democrat. Chairman
Flynn smoothed this bald statement over,
however, by announcing that he believed
that If a man came to the Judges and told
them that he wanted to vote the straight
republican ticket that the democrats are
good enough citizens to show them how to
pull the republican lever on the machines.
Chairman Flynn appointed the following
members of the executive committee:
George Rogers. George Sterrett, John Pow
ers, John E. Reagan and John A.. Rine.
Mr.. Rine was also instructed to look after
speakers for the campaign. The first
speaker the democrats will have will be
Senator Gore, the blind senator from okla
homa, who will address the faithful in
Omaha on Saturday evening, October 3.
Five hundred poster pictures of Bryan
have been received by the committee and
these VIII be posted before Taft day-next
Thursday-so as to attmpt to show that
Omaha is for Bryan.
