Bryan'S Stand
May EmbarrasS
Some Speakers
Nearly All the Orators at the Dollar
Dinner Tonight Are Opposed to
the Proposition.
(From a Sad correspondentl


LINCOLN. Feb 1s.-(speclal )--The pro-
euncement Of Mr.. Bryan for county op-
n and his avowed Intention to try to
sc county option into the coming demo-
ic state platform, will probably cause
= embarrassment at the dollar banquet
rrow night with the exception OF Mr.
= life. the local speakers are all opposed
lnty option, and at least Governor
berger and Mayor Dahlman Of
have so informed the perpetual
residential candidate.
Before leaving for the south Mr.. Bryan
held several conferences with leading DEM
ocrats of the state and urged them to stand
for county option, but by every one of
them including Edgar Howard Of Columbus
he was turned down cold and given TO un-
derstand that II he persisted in his inten-
tions an open breech would result i'm the
party
Following the conference Edgar Howard
came out In an editorial endorsed by Mr.
Bryan, in which he said county option was
not one Of the planks in his proposed plat
form, so 1t was generally understood by
those with whom he conferred that Bryan
had for once agreed to subordinate his own
desire to the welfare of the party.
His announcement Of this morning will,
therefore, be a surprise to many democrats
here. and 1t Is a bare possibility that some
Of the speakers at the valentine party
will go on record opposed to his plan.
II there be a speaker present who has
the temerity to speak out in meeting In op-
position to the Peerless Leader there will be
flsht. FOR Richard L. Metcalfe is on the
program and he will defend with might and
main the stand of his chief. In fact Met
calfe is liable to start the fight by endors-
ing the county option stand without wait
ing for someone else to attack It.
The program for the banquet was com
pleted this afternoon and is as follows;

During the afternoon the democratic

hotel and discuss matters pertaining t.

improbable that the question of a success

good portion Of the time. Senator Byrne
has publicly announced that he will no

pioneers in the Arctic regions, has passed
through all sorts OF vfcissitudes. Casey
Moran landed in Juneau many years ago
with six bits in his pocket and burning
thirst that an absinthe frappe did not sat

at the nearest shack to the landing place
to make him a cocktail. He knew cock
tails were high In Alaska and threw down
80 cents, thinking that even where the cost
of living was higher than 1t is in New
York the price of cocktail would not ex-
ceed four bits. But the barkeep requested
him to "come again" with a like amount,
and not having the necessary amount he
could only swallow his drink by leaving a

the fact that he was in Alaska there was
