MORE CHAUFFEURS BACK
But Both Sides to Strike Firm in
Their Positions.

Both sides in the strike of the chauf-
feurs held out for their original PROPOSE
tions yesterday, the union leaders de-
claring that the men must have the closed
shop. and the taxicab companies being
equally firm in their position that they
would only consider the open shop. The
representatives Of the State Board OF
Mediation and Arbitration are still trying
to bring. about another conference.
The police records yesterday showed
that thirty four more of the strikers had
gone TO work in the different garages.
There was a good deal of talk at the
strike headquarters y terday of the i'm
ninence of another strike of the express
men before the Christmas holidays. The
drivers returned to work on the open shop
basis, but since then the organizers have
been rapidly enrolling the non union men
into the union. Charles H. Forster, treas
urer of the Chauffeurs' Union, said tue
express men had been notified by a COM
mittee of the companies that it was ready
10 meet a committee of the men to ar
range questions of wages and conditions.
II believe when the committees come
together another issue of the closed shop
will be made said Forster, land new
strike is likely if demand for the closed
shop is again refused"

Mr.. BRYAN TREMBLES
Fears Conservatism May Creep
Into Democracy.
IBy Telegraph TO The Tribune.

Lincoln, Neb, Nov. 23-W J. Bryan says
edtorially in his "Commoner'' to-day: IF
the Democratic nominee for the Presidency
is to represent Democratic principles he
should be a man whose record justif1es the
belief that he favors the election OF United
States Senators by popular vote.
Don't let any political literary bureau
or any local statesman persuade you to
follow any candidate for the Democratic
nomination until you know just what he
will represent and work for when elected.
Examine his record. Study his environ
ment. Notice the character cf his hackers.
The Republican party is all but wrecked
by 'standpatisn1.
THE thing called conservatism in the
Democratic party is only another name for
the influences that have brought the party
of Lincoln to its present day plight
THE fact Is that there is a move on foot
larger in proportion than the movement in
1904 to turn the Democratic party over 10
the predatory interests. These writer's un-
derstand that Mr.. Bryan recognizes the
real purpose of this movement and they
know he may be depended upon to fight 1t.

ted on all sides that a strong case had
been made for the new method Mr.
Galbraith explained that the bricklaver

ers by the assertion that one side of a

that the layer instinctively feels for this
smaller side in order that il NAV be en-

1t is a question of civic duty and
patriotic craftsmanship. It is a ques-
ton of, moral standards and political
ideals
Shall the South continue to be
represented by small men who cannot
even remain honest? Shall we con-
tinue to send men to Congress who
do nothing but vote and make an oc-
casional speech? Shall we continue
in office Congressman who take pay
in Federal patronage for the prosti-

ways be represented by near-Republi-

sentatives who will remember their
pledges, cOnsecrate their talent to the
public service, labor for the interests
of the people as they would for their
own, concentrate their energies upon
the working out of some construc-
tive scheme of legislation that prom
ises relief to the country?
Have They Tried to Protect?
Where have the Bill Towards, who
now stand between us and our COM

efforts to protect US? When and
how have they fought our battles?
