" a story comes from Washington to

General Hitchcock as the Presidents

soon retire from the cabinet. 1t is
said that at recent conferences at

Secretary Norton was present when
Col. Roosevelt visited the President.
He participated in the conference when
Senator Crane was summoned to dis.
scuss the political situation through
out the country. Norton made the ar.
engagements for the Presidents
speeches in Maine. 1t is said this
was done attthe request OF Senator
Hale who is not on friendly terms

'DEINlOGRATSARE
DONglON BRYAN
HIS OLD FRIENDS in NEBRASKA
THINK IT IS TIME FOR
HIM TO QUIT.
LOST HIS LATEST BATTLE ON.
LOCAL OPTION ISSUE IN
HIS STATE.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., July rs
Democrats OF Nebraska will hold theil
platform convention In this city to
morrow. That there will be con
test to secure a county option plank
In the platform is admitted, and that
contest will be carried on between
leaders who heretofore have agreed
in every way on what Democratic
platforms should contain. William ]
Bryan, for the first time since he took
up the leadership of the Democratic
party, will be opposed by former as
sociates within his own State.
Mr.. Bryan and his friends are &C,
lively engaged in an attempt to secure
a county option plank, while Con
gresham Hitchcock, of Omaha, and
Mayor James c. Dahlman, also OF tina,
city, supported by Governor Shallen,
berger, are equally active in an ef.
fort to secure declaration against
such plan.
The campaign for the selection OF
a State ticket and the recommending
of candidate for United States sen.
ator has taken on many different
angles. Congressman Hitchcock has
been for several months an avowed
candidate for United States senator
He has stated his position as being
opposed to county option.
Delegates Oppose Bryan.
There is little doubt that the anti
county option men will present such
n plank, and that 1t will be heartily
opposed by Mr.. Bryan and his friends,
Six hundred OF the eight hundred del.
egates to the convention are either
instructed or are known to be opposed
to the BRYAN plank.
Richard L. Metcalfe, associated with
Mr.. Bryan in the publication of the
lattcr's paper, announced his candi.
dacy for United States senator at the
last moment, in opposition to Con.
gresham Hitchcock. He has the en-.
dorsement OF Mr.. Bryan.
There still remains in Nebraska a
considerable. number OF Democrats
who allied themselves with the gold
wing" of the party fourteen years ago,
and who have never become rcconcil;
ed to Mr.. Bryan's leadership. These
men have become strong partisans
with the leaders who are opposing Mr..
Bryan at this time, and have made
the cause of Congressman Hitchcock
and his political associates their own.
They openly declare that the time has
come when Mr.. Bryan should step
down and out as leader of his party,
and are directing their efforts to that
end.
Three candidates are making the
fight for the gubernatorial nomina,
ton. They are Governor Shallenber.
ger, Mayor Dahlman, OF Omaha, and

There is also move to take the
capital from Lincoln that will be an
issue.

ILLUSTRATED BY PETER NEWELL

Miss Glaphyra Quat is one of the
proudest aristocrats in Betzville, and
for long time it was matter of sor-
row with her that she was the last
of the Quats. For years she tried
strenuously to accomplish matri-
monial alliance with anyone, so that
the Quat line might not become ex-
tinct, but no one seemed to want
Glaphyra; she was too long and thin,
and ran too much to jaw bone and
shanks, and by the time she was so
she was pretty well resigned. and
felt that when she died the last Quat
would perish off the face of the earth.
She would sit in her rocking chair
and sigh. and knit the kind of stock
lngs the Quats had always worn
first stripe of red and then a stripe
of green, and then another stripe of
red-and think how bad it was for the
world that the Quats were about to
leave II forever.
But last June ray of joy came in
to her life. She read in the paper
that Mr.. Darwin decided that mankind
is descended from the monkeys, and
as soon as she read 1t she arose in her
stately manner and smiled at the por
trait Of Ebenezer Quat II what Mr.
Darwin said was true she was no

But one day when she was more
discouraged than ever she happened to
think that Mrs. Waiting. for-the.

ten generations, while Bedilla was act

last eight or ten thousand years, and
that Bedilla was probably acting just
as the original Quat monkey, from
whom all the Quats and all the mon
keys had descended, had acted. She
saw, right then, that Bedilla had the
best of her. and was copying the old
est Quat of ALL and that the monkey
