LINCOLN, Feb. 17.-(special)-During
the whole proceedings OF the democratic
dollar banquet not one word was said IN
praise Of the one democrat in the state
VINO has run for office four times and
never known defeat. Metcalfe boosted Or.
Hall and Thompson, and Dahlman; and
Hitchcock. and shallenberger and New
branch as great party workers with whom
he had fought shoulder to shoulders; Dahl
man boosted Metcalfe and DIR. Hail
boosted them all until It looked as II the
speakers were the only democrats in Ne
braska who had ever done a thing for the
party.
Yet seated in plain sight was the most
and ha~rd-fighting democrat OF
the bunch, Francis w. Brown, twice mayor
OF Lincoln. a republican city, and twice a
member Of the excise board. He rs the
only man the democrats here ever call
out when they are dead anxious to win
in the city and he has never failed them.
He more than any other democrat, or
ganizsd the city and county and helped
to carly It for Bryan in 1903, but not one
of the speakers remembered ever to have
worked Shoulder to shoulder" with Frank
Brown.
Friends Of Mayor Brown, democratic
friends, who were present at the banquet
called attention to this oversight on the
part Of the speakers and they desire it to
be known that Mayor Brown has brought
forth better results than have any Of the
speakers. in that he has been successful
in every political race he ever entered. The
former mayor. so his friends say. has
probably contributed more money to dem
ocratic campaigns than all Of the speakers
combined. se
