DahIman Is Not Scared

Omaha, Neb, September 20.-Mayor James c. Dahlman, democratic nominee for governor, tonight hurled defiance at William J. Bryan, who gave out state ment that he would not support the mayor in his gubernatorial campaign. In many respects the mayors statement Is more forcible than eloquent, and he closes with the declaration that they will find out they have got hold of the wrong end of red-hot poker and will get the biggest trimming that has ever been given in this or any other state for many years"
 The mayors statement in part follows
 Bryan and I have been co-workers and friends politically and personally for twenty years, and during that time I have never wavered at any point along the line when his enemies assniled him nor when he was candidate for office.
 "The position I take on the liquor ques ton Is purely democratic and follows the spirit of democracy, which stands at all times for personal liberty and self-gov- ernment The party has always stood for personal liberty, and that Is why sm a democrat
 MT. Bryan and his friends try to make 1t appear that this is a brewery fight. The primary election just held in Nebraska has demonstrated that the people of our state. without regard to vocation, farmers. merchants and work ingmen alike. rallied to my support and gave me the nomination regardless of party because they are opposed to sump- tuary laws.
 q regret exceedingluy that MT. Bryan and myself must part company for a short time at least.
 'sThe Slocum liquor law of our state has been on the statute books for thirty years" said Dahlman. Tt gives each city town and village the right to vote saloons in or out. which means local self-government. County option, which MT. Bryan Is advocating, enlargts the unit and takes from the people the right of local f-government."

Roosevelt's Right Hand Man Points Out That Sherman Is Beaten In Ills own Town and Cannot Win
 in the Convention

Albany. September 2o.-A clear majority of 65 votes for the selection of Vice Pres ident Sherman as temporary chairman of the state republican convention over Col onel Roosevelt was claimed tonight by William J. Barnes, Jr., as a result of the upstate primaries today. Mr. Barnes, who has been leading the fight of the "old guard" declared that the real contest at Saratoga will be In the committee on reso- lutions. This committee will consider the question of direct nominations.
 MT. Barnes gave out this statement:
 'The result of today's primaries ends the contest over the temporary chairman ship and gives Vice President Sherman a clear majority of 55 votes. Interest na7 turally centers in the personal element. but there are involved in this situation two principles of great importance to the republican party. The first may be called orderly political management. MT. Roose- welt was defeated In the state committee by vote of 20 to IS and then MT. Sher- man was unanimously chosen as the temportary presiding officer of the state convention. To question that determln- ation on the floor of the convention is equivalent to bolting a nomination. This is know as political welching and had MT. Roosevelt defeated Mr. Sherman in the state committee that would have been the end of that controversy. MT. Roose- welt has not acted as MT sherman would have done in questioning the unanimous action of the committee. They are equal before the party. MT. Roosevelt has no superior rights as a man than any other man.
 Secondly, the real contest at Saratoga will be in the committee or resolutions. There the party creed for two years will be proclaimed. There must be determined whether the party is to be turned over to my policies borrowed from Bryan. or to remain steadfast in the faith which has given solidarity and victory in the past. I have done what I could in the public press to warn republicans of the Roosevelt danger and at the primaries to secure delegates who will not rush madly to worship false gods. We have won."

A London newspaper wonders Why

It was thought sufficient to supply ten

really solid breakfast had come into
fashion long before then, and It Is
said that the English learned the fash

that the substantial breakfast was

The Orioin of OXYGEN.

That eminent scientist Lord Kelvin
maintained that all the oxygen in the
atmosphere probably originated from
the action of sunlight upon plants.
When our earth was globe Of hot
liquid 1t contained no vegetable fuel
and probably no free oxygen. But as
II cooled off plants appeared on Its
surface. and these began 10 evolve
oxygen through the medium of the
sunbeams Upon the oxygen thus de-
rived we depend for the maintenance
of life by breathing. When we burn
coal or other vegetable fuel we use up
oxygen, and it Is TO plants again that
we owe the restoration Of the oxygen
thus lost TO the air. II they failed to
keep up q sufficient supply the atmos-
phere would gradually part with Its
oxygen, and the inhabitants OF the
earth would disappear in consequence
Of asphyxiatlon.
