and moved to kill the bin by striking
out the enacting clause. This was
lost, so to 70. Then in rapid order
ten amendments by Wilson, of Quincy,

that proposed amendment NO. IL

more Importance to the state and
TO the people than proposed
amendment No. 10. Amendment
No. IL provides that oil capltal

years ia this state in the manu-
iucture of cotton goods shall be
exempt from taxation Tor a period
Of seven years, and this proposI-
ton Is worthy the consideration
of the voter. Other Southern

MR.. BRYAN.

rhe Nebraska democratic
lie convention met last week
was a notable gathering for
reason at least that it wit.
ssed the passing of William

mocracy Of that state.
For years Mr.. Bryan had
en the undisputed leader Of
Nebraska democrats, with
he to challenge his methods or
control. In recent months he
\ made the whiskey question
u paramount issue in that state
d made vigorous fight for
option. On this question
Y was at variance with great
WA iority Of his party and in the
xtate convention his side of the
1nestion made but q very sorry
moving,
Min this convention Mr., Bryan
as deposed as leader OF MS par
NJ without mercy and his defeat
Vas met by cheers from hum
reds Of delegates--quite a con-"
Vast with former days when Bry-
Ms every wish was regarded as
M law of the party,
N Mr., Bryan no doubt feels this
bss of prestige keenly, although
Ne announces he will wage the
ksue upon which he was defeat
ed Notwithstanding the contrary
declaration Of his party, which
hany people will think a mistake
Ind contrary to the principle in
solving majority vule.
Notwithstanding all the defeats
Mr.. Bryan has sustained in the
past, and they have been num-
brous, he is the one man WHO has
been in the political limelight for
many years against whoa no
pharge Of corruption of charac-
ter or purpose has been brought
Everybody gives Mr.. Eryan
credit for honesty and inteef1Cy
Di purpose and admires him as
an absolutely open and fearless
advocate of whatever cause he
may champion.
r Mr.. Bryan will never, it seems,
become president, but it is we'll to
remember that in the country's
past history others Of her great
est men, who aspired to the pres
ldency, failed to realize their
ambitions.
Mr., Bryan may be deposod as
q leader of his party, but the
greatness OF his character or the
depth Of his wisdom cannot be
!akon from him, and he will con-
,inue to WELD an influence in the
