viii Not be Permitted to Boss tn,
New Democratic House or Die
tate About Tariff
Revision.
DUTY ON RAW WOOL
Not Only VIII the Great commoner
Be Ignored But His Former
Subjects Are Not Afraid
of Him.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-William j.
Bryan will not be permitted to boss
the house of representatives of the
sixty-second congress, or to dictate
what the democrats shall do in the way
of tariff revision. That he can not boss
the senate was amply demonstrated
when he sought to dictate the election
OF the minority leader and was turned
down cold.
Furthermore, the democratic lead
ers of the house-whoever they may
be-ane not at all worried al to what
Mr.. Bryan may say or do as result
OF their refusal to obey his dictaticn.
The Nebraskan is for free raw wool.
and has declared through the columns
of the Commoner that he can find no
excuse for placing a duty on this pro-
duct in democratic tariff schedule.
In spite Of this fact, however, the
ways and means committee democrats
will report out their tariff schedule
to the caucus, which has been called
to meet June /, instead o. June 5, with
straight duty on raw wool, not even
conceding free raw wool by this slid
ing scale route, which Mr.. Bryan
would have indorsed in pinch
And the democrats apparently are
not concerning themselves greatly as
to the approval or disapproval of the
Nebraskan in this connection. They
reason the matter something like this.
/ Mr.. Bryan could not control his own
state in the last election Why should
we worry about what he thinks regard
! ing raw wool and other items in the
4 tariff? If he could not control his own
state last year, how far will he go
toward controlling the entire country
4 next year
Further than this the leaders at this
end of the line figure that thev need
not fear even the active opposition Of
Mr.. Bryan to a duty on wool If he
should openly oppose it, he would take
away good deal of strength, but they
believe his opposition would develop
more friends than it would wean away
from the democratic revision program.
They say that the action of the demo-
! cratic caucus will certainly represent
i the will of the party.

This fact was never more clearly
proven than in the last contest for
Railroad Commissioner of this Dis
trict. Many local wholesalers of this
city at first favored the election Of
Adolph Felsenthal of Camden, rather
than see w. f. Mcknight win They
displayed a selfish motive and Undue
ed DR.. J. L. Caldwell to enter the race,
after Candidate Felsenthal had the
race practically won. MIR. Felsenthal
had Jefferson county almost solid up
TO that time, but when DR.. Caldwell
got into the game it weakened the first
man favored and Mcknight won with
ease, DR.. Caldwell, the Jefferson
county man, was showed under and
Felsenthal met the same fate. This
ought to have been lesson to JET
ferson county. The next man in that
race went down In defeat because OF
the anxiety OF the friends of DR.. Cald-
we'll TO push him into an office which
lie had no chance TO capture. DR.. Cald-
we'll was merely led 10 the slaughter
on election day.
Think it over. There may be a
similar result in the Sixth District
Judge Gould says it will not stop
him, however. He says he is in the
race to sly. Colonel Taylor could
POSSIBLY make the same statement
But what is 10 be gained for Jeffer-
son county by the defeat of two men,,
when the county had cinch of elect
ing one OF them. It may be that the
tables will be turned in this Congress
sional race Maybe one of them will
win despite the double candidacy. At
any rate there is going TO be bitter
campaign in jefferson from now on.

District, eight years ago. He was I'M
successful in the two men affair and
while II has been rumored here for
weeks thar Colonel Taylor would try
for the honor again. it was nor
thought that he would do so at this

Colonel TAYLOR has Just as much
right to seek the Congressional honor
as Judge Gould, Judge Farmer or any
one else. He is just as able a man
as any of the other candidates, but as
predicted several days ago in these
columns. it was hoped that only one
man from jefferson county would be
in the race. This would have TN.
doubtedly insured the election of that
personal campaign in this county L
would also have resulted in jefferson
county having the Congressman from
the Sixth District.
