TEXAS REVOLT AGAINST
 BRYAN.

The revolt against Bryanism in Texas, which is particularly strong in the northern part of the state, has given rise to d movement for the or ganization of a new party. It is an- nounced that a preliminary meeting will soon be held under the auspices of an element which is opposed to republicanism, democracy, populism and prohibition, but which thus far has omitted to state exactly what it wants. The nearest approach to a platform adopted up to date Is the motto. Men and measures rather than party loyalty"
 Just how far this movement will go is a matter that. admits of no serious forecast. The motto is a negation. It implies dissatisfaction with party methods and leaders, but discIoses no definite demand or purpose. An as semblage of mere objectors, with no affirmative principles or policies in sight, is not likely to attract a large following. Yet the scheme appears to have been entered upon seriously, as is indicated by the following comment from the Kansas City Journal, which is well posted on political conditions in the South:
 The leaders in the movement de- clare that new presidential candidate will get the electoral vote of the Lone Star state in 1912. They believe, moreover that this new departure will receive the sanction of a majority of the southern states, certainly of the leaders, who are out of patience with the steam-roller methods of MT. Bryan regarding candidates and party policies. At all events, the movement has more than ordinary significance from the fact that it has it's origin in Texas. which has hitherto constant ly manifested loyalty to Bryan even outweighing that of Missouri"
 It may be conceded that if the movement happens to catch on" it may prevent MT. Bryan's nomination in 1912. But if a desire to shelve MT. Bryan is the chief object in view, the new party" will cut but a small figure in national politics, and its prospects of a career" will be about as bright as those of the party which nominated Horace Greeley in 1872 and the faction which supported John M. Palmer in 1896. Furthermore, if there are any Democrats who wish to sub stitute some other candidate for Mir Bryan in the next national campaign they must hustle to find one who makes even a near approach to MT. Bryan's popularity, ability to com mand attention and capacity for leadership. No one meeting that re- quirement is yet in sight. Altogether the discontented Texans are likely to realize the futility of trying to make headway with party whose platform is merely protest.
 So far as the motto is concerned, the democrats in congress seem al- ready to have adopted it in their at titude toward measures" if not men" In the debate and vote on the tariff they threw aside all pretense of party loyalty" Perhaps the Lone Star -malcontents could accomplish more by encouraging them opersist in this course than by trying to con- struct and launch a new organization

MRS. JUNKIN TO

MOTHER OF NEGRO ACCUSED OF
MURDER WILL APPEAR IN
HIS BEHALF.

Bowed down with grief over the
crime with which her son is accused,
Mrs. Amy Junkin, the mother OF the
self-confessed negro murderer John
Junkin, will be placed on the
stand next week at Centeryille by
the defendants attorney, Judge j. 9,
Mitchell, and before the jury, who will
declare whether the neck of Junkin
Is to answer for his crime, the
negro mother will tell of her sons evil
influences while young and plead Tor
less severe penalty than hanging. Mrs.
Junkin is one Of the three witnesses
whom Judge Mitchell will have sub
poenaed IN behalf of his client, out
side of five witnesses for the state,
who will also be questioned Tor the
defendant These five are Chief OF
PolicesPeter Gallagher, Officer Joseph
Beeman, H. G. Williams and John w.
Gray of Ottumwa, and Sheriff w. B.
Griffin Of Abba, but along what line
they will be queried in support OF
Junkin, Judge Mitchell refuses to
divulge.
II will make no plea of insanity for
Junkin," states Judge Mitchell, but
will try the case to the best of my
ability on the merits presented and
will do all in my power for the negro.
Especially will make strenuous
fight against the infllction of capital
punishment: Associated with me will

little difficulty, and will hasten the
trial as much as l can"
Centerville, May 17.-This city did
not want the Junkin case sent here
being unable to hinder the change of
venue, local officials will seek to pre-
vent so far as possible the engender-
ing Of excitement over the matter on
the part OF the general public.
Locally there does not seem to be
more than the ordinary feeling con-
corning the case, and if there is any
demonstration made when the negro
is brought here, it will be due to out
side influence.
Officials are not likely to make pub
lie in advance their plans for bringing
Junkin here for trial. They say it
would not do any good, and that at
any rate it would be unwise.
Interest in the case is not lacking.
The people are talking about it all
over the surrounding country and 1t
is expected that great numbers will be
here to attend the trial or at least to
get view Of the prisoner.
The trial of the case is set for

Environed by all the opportunities Of

their smallness rebuked by the pres
