tlfy their course. Speaker Cannon,
who was the bulwark OF the protect
ed interests in the house, has taken
the stump in state OF rage to pro-
test against the assaults that have
been made on him. Aldrich, the lead
er of the senate, has made tour on
quite another mission, but primarily,
it may be assumed, to divert atten-
ton from the tariff Even the pres
ident, early in his tour, found it
necessary to make some sort OF a
defense of the tariff law, in spite of
the fact that his reliance on the re-
publican members of congress to re-
wise the tariff in accordance with
the platform had been misplaced; in
spite of the fact that when, near the
end of the session, he endeayored to
procure "a few concessions, he failed
in most of them, in spite of the fact
that he was obliged to sign a bill
or thought he was-that did not
meet the promises of his party and
the expectations Of the Teople. In
rrac.i2a'ly every district a',5 state
represented by the reactionary re-
pubiicans. these reactionaries are in
the field trying to convince the peo-
pie that the rev tariff law is all
right Why this extraordinary line of
defensive endeavor? 1t is because
there is new factor in the tariff
situation---a dissenting republican
minority in congress. The insurgents
are regarded as more potential than
the whole democratic party in this
particular crisis. For the people are
with the insurgents. The reactionar-
les know it. The insurgents know it.
The progressives of all parties and
all classes know it. The president
knows it. Cannon and Aldrlch,
whose affiliations, obligations and
habits make them especially dense
to public sentiment. know it. And
they know, too, that they cannot read
the insurgents out of the party. For
they know that the insurgents are
the only true republican members Of
by the standard of the
last national platform"
Mr.. Bryan did not overpraise the
republican insurgents, and, more to
the point Mr. Bryan did not under
Draise the democrats of the senate,
the most of whom were so busy ex-
planning this, that or the other vote
that they were unmindful of the
great wrong being done the Ameri-
can people in the construction and
passage of the Payne-Aldrich bill.

Mr.. BRYAN as senator.

Regardless OF any political differ-
ences, The World wishes Mr.. Bryan
well In his candidacy for United States
Senator from Nebraska to succeed Mr..
Burkett, whose term expires In 1911.
We say this without modifying in any
way our opposition to many OF the
policies that he has advocated or our
dissent from many of the principles
that he npholds.
Mr. Bryan would make good Sem
ator. He would try to represent the
people, not the corporations, and he
would bring qualities of very high
order to the upper house of Con-
gress. He Is an excellent debater
able, eloquent and resourceful, and
would render a FAR greater service to
his party on the floor Of the Senate
than he ever can as candidate for
President.
Nebraska could not make a better
choice, and II the new primary system
OF that State enables Mr.. Bryan to be.
come a United States Senator we shall
consider his election a great triumph
for the principle Of direct nomina-
tions.--The World.

Some weeks ago J. Frank Turner,
of Talbot county, who is States At
torney and also chairman OF the
county central committee, was asked
by Governor Crothers TO resign one
of those positions, II being felt that
1t might embarrass him to prosecute
a voter who committed an offense un-
der his leadership, although without
his knowledge, against the election
laws. Mr.. Turner refused to resign
either position, and wrote a some
what impertinent letter to the Cover
nor On Monday, at the Democratic
primaries in Talbot, the wing of the
party represented by Mr.. Turner was
defeated and he will be ousted from the
chairmanship. In point of law many
able lawyers thought Mr.. Turner was
right in his contention with the Gov
ernor, but equity and public senti-
ment was undoubtedly opposed to him,
and he has been rebuked by his own
people. Some persons are slow to

questions Of equal Importance will
doubtless arise during the session.
