Others, who Declare woodrow
Wilson L. the strongest
Available Man,

For the purpose, as they claim, Of TAX
ing in Ak-sar-Ben. a number OF the
democratic leadero of the state have gath

THOMPSON, the Little Giant" of Han
county. Richard l. Metcalfe. political
spokesman for w. j. Bryan, John G..
Maher. booster for Harmon. and Mike
Harrington, captain of the Woodrow
Wilson forces
While paying tribute to the king, they
also have been mixing the dope and
making political medicine. Some OF the
mixing occurred in the rotunda OF the
Paxton Tuesday night, where there came
mighty close to being a mixup that had
not been scheduled. Nobody seems to
know Just how the affair started, but
for fifteen or twenty minutes it furnished
the crowd In the lobby with plenty Of OK
citement and thrillers.
Metcafe, Maher and Harrington were
engaged in a three -cornered argument
over the quality OF democratic presiden-
tial timber for next year. when Metcalfe
insisted that former Governor Folk of
Missouri possessed the qualities that
fitted him Ior a good start and equally
as good a finish I'm the presidential race
Both Maher and Harrington scoffed the
idea, the former pronouncing Harmon the
only man who can carry Nebraska and
the other states. while Harrington urged
that Woodrow Wilson has all others
beaten long before the start.
Finally Maher shot one at Metcalfe
demanding Information as to why Bryan
is now going up and down campairN ing
along national lines, when not lons ago
he stated that he would not campaign in
an Off year, adding that Bryan is now
seeking to commit the party to a plan
of his own. as he sought to commit the
democratio party to prohibition at the
Grand Island convention last year
MetcaIfe IL RuffIed.
The Maher position considerably ruff
fled Metcalfe. who Immediately informed
the Lincoln man that Bryan was not
talking national issues. but that he was
putting a few crimps into the Harmon
boom"
At this point Harrington drew cards by
dropping Wilson for the time and taking
up the cudEel for Bryan. intimating that
right here in Nebraska, II he could get
before the people, he could be elected to
the United states senate.
The Harrington admission caused Met
calfe TO smile and addressing himself TO
the O'Nell statesman, remarked. Right

and coming TO your senses, instead Of
