BRYAN BOOSTS Smith
FOR THE PRESIDENCY
Ge0rgia's Gov.-EIeCt Finds Fa.
vor in the Eyes of the
NebraSkan

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 17.-From an
editorial in the weeks issue of the Com
moner it is apparent that w. ]. Bryan
does not expect to run for president in
1912. He says:
THE Georgia convention in ratifying
the nomination of ex-Gov. HolIe Smith,
who recently won the gubernatorial NOM
ination at the primary, suggested him for
the presidency. And why not? In 1900
and 1908 whenever Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
ton was suggested the corporation pa
pers of the east insisted that the nomi-
nation ought to go to the south. Why
not give the south chance now? Hoke
Smith Is from the south. He is big
man, too. He was in the cabinet.
He has been governor and will be
governor again. Why do the corporation
papers not boom Smith? Why?
We'll just read the following from
his speech at the convention and you
will see. He said:
Z" The great corporations in Georgia
must keep out of politics. They must
not be allowed by hired politicians
agents to dominate or control legislation
or administration That seals his doom
so far as the corporation papers are
concerned. but it ought to strengthen
him with the people.
And the gold Democrats. Why don't
they fly to the support of Smith? He
was q gold man. he was not tainted with
free silver Why don't they start a
boom for him? Because he made the
fatal mistake Of voting for Mr.. Bryan
That ended it with them. He forfeited
his claim to Craftsmanship.
But Hoke Smiths bc5m has been
launched by his own state and we shall
see whether it was a southern man the
corporation papers wanted or simply a
representative of the corporations living
In the south"

Clamored For

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 1.-THE
revolution in Honduras against Presi-
dent Davilla has not yet really started
but the pent-up feeling is growing SO
intense that an outbreak is inevitable,
declared H. C. Downing, an American
railroad engineer, who left Honduras
about three weeks ago (before the
latest reported insurrection). Mr..
Downing, who for the larger part of the
last II years has served as engineer
on the Honduras railroad, left that
country after a series of thrilling ex-
periences-and that he got away at all
is due to his own nerve and the help
Of fellow-Americans. ---.. o..
He was suspected of being in syrlpa-
thy with the revolution OF Manner
Bonilla, which came to grief before
being fairly launched. Downing says
he and another American, Capt T"
E. Miller, were living near the govern
ment barracks at LaGuna. The night
that General Marin started his end or
the revolution prematurely, Downing
and Miller started to -Marin's head
quarters to see what was going on, but
government troops got after them and
he heard the officer command ms SOL
diers to kill the d. Americans!
They got back to Miller's house ana
raised the American flag, but soon real
izing that it afforded poor protection

Honduran soldiers followed and fired
on them, but they finally succeeded IN
entering the house of Mr.. Van Bar
cum by a rear door, the front being
guarded by a sentry. Here they were
kept prisoners for 16 days, the mouse
surrounded by troops demanding their
surrender, before the American vice.
consul procured bond for them.
Later in their absence, they were
tried by a court-martial and convicted
Of being revolutionists, and but for the
firmness of Mr.. Van Blarcum refusing
to give them up, would probably have
been executed Finally, ascertalnlns
the sailing time of the steamship Hiram
and having secured passage, they stole
a switch engine they saw standing near
their refuge and rode 1t to the port at
the other end of town where they got
aboard, Miller going to British Hon
d,Iras, while Downing came TO Ne"

Mr.. Downing says the crowd IN au-

can flag was raised, was looted by the

today when Passed Assistant Surgeon
Ansey Hamilton Robnett was put on
trial for his alleged participation in
the expulsion of DR.. Edward S. Cowles
of Boston, from a dance at the yard
on the night of December II. The
verdict in the case of George P. Aud
who was tried last week, has been
forwarded to the navy department at
Washington for review.
There were two charges against
Surgeon Robnett, the first, that he
did aid and abet Paynnaster Aud in
the expulsion of DR.. COwleS, from the
navy yard dance December IL, last,
Cowles being a properly invited guest
and the action being unauthorized
and unwarranted; second, that he
subsequently used insulting language
to DR.. Cowles over the telephone"
Like Paymaster Auld, Surgeon Rob-
nett received a reprimand from the
Fecretary of the navy following the
first complaint of DR.. Cowles. DR..
Cowles wife then pressed the charges
to the officials in Washington and the
court martial of the two officers was
ordered. Included in the list of wit
nesses for the defense were Miss Dor
othy Hesler, of Evanston, Ill, who
IS engaged to he married to the young
surgeon, and Paymaster Aud. Much

in the proceedings.
Paymaster Aud and his friend DR.

tion to leave the ball room was given
TO DR.. Edward S. Cowles, brother OF
