THURSDAY. July Is. IeIO
DEFEAT OF BRYAN AT HOME.

n HE politics of Nebraska this week has been
in keeping with the temperature of the
weather-hot. Mr.. Bryan stumbled the
liquor question. Mr.. Bryan should have known
that any Democrat who triles with General Booze
and his subjects in the party in the northern
states is likely TO be worsted in the conflict.
Nothing before could break the backbone of the
Nebraskans leadership But he held TO the view
that the county local option plan should be adopt
ed a plan like that in Kent and Sussex counties
The opponents of Bryan stood for township local
option. This scheme prevents the rural voters
from making a city dry" against the wishes OF
the voters Of the city. Mr.. Bryan went down TO
defeat, but he intends to continue his fight for
county local option.
Guriously enough Congressman Hitchcock who
@gas formerly OF the most ardent supporters
of Mr.. Bryan, was bitterly opposed 20 him on the
issue, and it looks as il Bryan and Hitchcock had
parted political company for all time. Hitchcock
wants TO be United States senator but Bryan has
abandoned his own aspirations for that position,
If he ever hrd any Bryan is supporting R, L. Met
calf' one OF the editors Of the Commoner, for
senator. Metcalf was formerly editor of Hitch
cocks newspaper in Omaha.
Some say that the result of the convention means
the passing of Bryan as the political leader of
Nebraska. If so, it also means that Nebraska will
probably jump out of the Democratic fold. Bryan
made Nebraska Democratic, and he has influenced
the Republican party of that State
On the same day that the Democrats met, the
Republican convention was in session with the
Insurgent Republicans, who have some views in
common with Bryan, on top. The Republican con-
vention strongly indorsed the administration Of
President Taft but denounced Cannonism. The
convention expressed itself as being heartily in
sympathy with the insurgent movement and urged
the Nebraska Republican senators and congress
men to make use Of their votes and influence along
progressive lines in the future So the friends of
Mr. Bryan who may be disgruntled because of his
turning down" by the Democratic convention will
And the step into the progressive Republican camp
of Nebraska a short and easy one to take.

HARD FIGHT IN OHIO.

Il fore them in the coming campaign lnere are

In the convention yesterday Harmon has made
a fairly satisfactory governor Even his oppo-
nents ooncede that He may be opposed by some
of the Bryan men, but there is no reason to be
lieve that he will be fought harder by Bryan than
ne was in the other campaign in which he was
elected. Besides, among the Democrats, it seems
TO be generally agreed that Governor Harmon II
reelected will be the next Democratic candidate
for president
An iusurgent Republican newspaper, one OF the
most influential in Ohio. declares that Harmon IS
the candidate Of the reactionares, the Morgan
lied" Democracy as il calls them. And the reac-
tionaries who are happy in the belief that Bryan
has seen his day hopeful, that they shall con-
troll the party.
In fact there is strong radical looming up
in the Democratic camp TO take the place of
Bryan. All those mentioned as presidential pos
sibilities are conservatives
It is therefore more than possible that both the
great parties in the next presidential campaign
will be controlled by conservatives and the radicals
will have no place to 60 TO.

The agriculture department at Washington has

wish for a change of occupation, but 1t points out
that a man who engages suddenly in business

the ctv man who wants to become farmer TO

far more eager to obtain these books

It is a fact that in many cases Of
late years, when a novel by a new
writer made its appearance, If the au-
thor crossed the line, il was almost q
safe bet that the book was the work

Spreading a Vacation.

Chester Times.
Every person who can take a week

while this change is a grateful relief

It is refreshing and restful. to be

The announcement that the Polish Club is to
erect building at Second and Justison streets
calls to mind that the property is considered by
many, very desirable for playground purposes.
Some time ago it was stated that if the city did
not secure vacant land in different sections it would
find itself cut off from getting such properties as
are needed for Fairgrounds. 1t is plainly evident
that the city must have these Fairgrounds. All
cities are getting them. AS time goes on it will
become more and more expensive to secure suit
able properties and the necessity of prompt action
is imperative 1t would be very unfortunate IL
