Whedon Will
Oppose Burkett
Lincoln Lawyer Announces His Can
didacy for United States
Senator.
(From a staff correspondentl

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 15.-(special.)-
Mr.. Whedon's candidacy for the United
States senate has been announced in O
letter to Mayor Don l.. Love, which fol-
lows and is in reply to one by Mayor Love
suggesting that he run:
In his letter Mayor Love, who had just
returned from trip to Iowa said Iowans
made frequent inquiries about Mr.. whedon
and he urged the Lincoln lawyer to make
the Nebraska race. The letter Of Mr.
Whedon follows:
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan Is, 1910. Honorable
ID, L. Love, City-Dear sir: The delay In
acknowledging your kind favor of the 10th
inst for which / thank you, is due to my
absence from the city
You suggest, as q number Of others
nave suggested that l become a candidate
Tor the United states senate to succeed
Senator Burkett.
More than five months have elapsed
since a republican congress enacted, and
republican president approved the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Nearly four
months have elapsed since the president,
who was the acknowledged political head
of the republican party, gave his un-
qualified endorsement to that enactment.
And yet today the dissensions within the
party growing out of this enactment as a
claimed promise of the party pledge to re-
wise the tariff have reached the point
where the president has found II neces-
sary to negotiate with those republicans
who have come to be known as insurgents,
to induce them to enter a republican eau
Gus and to assure them of fair treatment
If they will do so. This is indicative Of
serious dissatisfaction within the .republi-
can ranks. dissatisfaction which threatens
the supremacy of the party.
Ever since last September I have been
trying to get Senator Burkett to publicly
state the reasons which induced him to
vote for the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. This
he has at all times declined to do.
To put the matter squarely up to the
senator so that he may defend his votes
the bill itself, I announce my candidacy.
l shall in the future have something
to say about the Payne Aldrich tariff bill
and If the senator can show me that the
people of Nebraska are fairly represented
by that legislation, ] will cheerfully at
any time withdraw in his favor. Yours
very truly CHARLES o. WHEDON.

He is not and cannot be in sympathy
with the idea that he is to stop all the
activities here referred to- and make enc
mics of Cannon and Aldrich and of all
those who, in the present congress, have
the power to bring about the reforms which
he has advocated. AS to his own political
future he is supremely indifferent He
feels that he can we'll afford to get along
with one term as president, IL he can point
back to things done and not to a record
Of noise and fury and hypocritical dema-
gogy.
The future concerns him not in the least
He is busy with the present and is willing
that the, future should take care of,itself.
He does want the approval of his country
men, and this he feels sure he is to re-
ceive, IL not now, then at some future time,
when in the light Of historical perspective,
his administration is judged by its true re-

AS to all these issues, he feels certain
that his attitude is correct.
"a Critics Lack Responsibility.
The trouble with people who look at the
president and try to pass judgment upon
him from, the outside, is that they do not
take into consideration the responsibility
they would have If they were in his place
trying to do something, were charged with
doing something and we're looking about
to find out how. In other words, as the
president tells his visitors these days, II
his critics were to get down to brass
tacks' and tell about practical steps to be
taken, and just how this was to be done
they would stop their condemning OF
everything and. no longer find semi
satisfaction in the sad gloom they think
prevails in political affairs. And while
doing this 1t is the belief of the president
that they would reach a state of mind
that could give their view on public az
fairs real and permanent value. So much
by way of comment on the present situa-
tion that is supposed to represent the
presidents views and those of his ad-
visers.

terested would do well to call
there tomorrow any time after 9

desirable articles of urniture which
may be had for very small prices,
