those of Umpire Scott of this city

Bryan to Be for Wilson?

Omaha, July 31.-That w. ]. Bryan
will soon be openly committed to the
candidacy of Gov. Woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey for president, and that he
will carry Nebraskas delegation to
the national convention for him, is the
confident prediction of men who un-
derstand the inward workings of the
Nebraska democracy.
Mayor Dahlman's open espousal of
Judson Harmon's cause, 1t is declared,
will force Mr.. Bryan into the open for
Wilson. Nebraska votes for its presi-
Dental choice in primary, and, in
order to defeat the Harmon machina-
tions of the Dahlmanites, it is easy to
see that Mr. Bryan will have to es-
pouse the cause of some particular
candidate.
Gov. Wilson is the ultimate choice
of practically all of Mr.. Bryan's friends
in Nebraska. They think he is the
man to beat Harmon with, and they
believe that the peerless leader will
ultimately line up for him. Champ
Clark is an easy second choice, but he
is not looked upon as a particularly
strong candidate.
Bryan Prefers Folk.
A man who ought to know says that
Mr.. Bryan's real choice for the presi-
Dental nomination is ex-Gov. Joseph
W. Folk of Missouri This man also
says, however, that Mr.. Bryan, In
common with nearly everybody else,
understands that Mr.. Folk is not a
serious possibility.
Mr.. Bryan has not crossed Champ
Clark's name off his list of eligibles,
but it is no secret that he was nettled
by Clark's espousal of Chairman I'm
derwood's cause in the controversy
the latter had with Mr.. Bryan over
free wool. The commoner, it is de-
clared, no longer looks with any great
degree Of enthusiasm on the Clark
candidacy.
Much Wilson Sentiment.
The amount of Wilson sentiment
among Nebraska democrats is surpris-
ing. Men Immediately close to Mr..
Bryan, of course, are not committing
themselves, but the rank and file of
the Bryan faction make little secret of
their support of the New Jersey gov
ernor. They say that as between Will
son and Harmon in the Nebraska pri
maries it will be a tidal wave for
Wilson. Three to one is a moderate
| estimate of their claims. All they are
interested in is in seeing that the anti
Harmon strength is concentrated on
Wilson and not scattered.
This feeling is not confined to en-
thusiastic Bryan followers. M. F. Har
rington, the astute and affable gentle
man from ONeil who presided over
the Fremont convention Tuesday, is
not a 33rd degree Bryanite. He is un
der considerable suspicion of hostility
to Mr.. Bryan, but he is openly for Will
son for president.
EX-Gov. Ashton c. Shallenberger
| candidate for the United States sen
ate, and man who plays politics even
| in his sleep, while not committing him
self, is known to lean decidedly to
ward Wilson. Shallenberger wants tc
carry Nebraska for the democratic
party next year, and he thinks that
the nomination of Wilson would be a
long step in that direction.

Wheat Yield SO Bushels an Acre.

Fremont, Tribune: Stephens and
Lamley have broken the wheat record
so far this year by producing on Dan
V. Stephens tiled farm fifty-eight
bushels of wheat to the acre. This
remarkable yield reported yesterday
by Roy Lamley, who grew the wheat,
was produced from ten bushels of pure
bred turkey red seed developed by the
Hon. George Coupland of Elgin, Neb.
This seed was sown along one side of
forty-acre field of wheat seeded with
ordinary turkey red wheat. The re-.
markable feature of this most remark
able yield was the fact that the re-
mainder of the forty yielded an av.
erage of little less than forty-one
bushels an acre, thus showing an In.
