SPEAKS FOR
PROCRESSIVES
By The United Press.


LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 26.-Charg-
ing that reactionary Democrats in
the Senate and House are planning TO
fasten themselves on important COM
mitteeS, William J Bryan, in a Com
moner editorial today warned the new
Democratic Congress against the
flight OF seniority" He says
The Democratic party is going to
have another struggle in both Senate
and House over the committee as
signments and is again threatened
with the blight of seniority, that Is,
it will be asked to put the ambitions
and interests Of individuals above the
welfare Of the party.
The Progressive Democrats Will
now be in the majority OF the Senate
/ caucus VIII they allow a reaction
/ airy minority to man the ship? VIII
they allow length of service to out
weight sympathy with the Progress
/ sve cause?
IF il we're a personal matter, the
/ new senators might prefer to yield
/ TO the older ones, but a man who
| acts in representative capacity, is
not at liberty to be courteous at the
! expense of his constituents. The
| Democrats of the Senate owe il TO
the party to make the Senate organ
ization represent the prevailing sen
timent of the party and thus enable
it to work in harmony with the adj
ministration. To do this, the rule OF
seniority should be ignored. Assign
ments to committees should be made
upon the basis of fitness and with q
view to giving faithful expression ia
the will of the majority No Demo
crat is deserving of preferment, who
puts his personal interests above the
general welfare. If our party is tc
have a long lease of power, it mus
regard the rights Of the people as
paramount"

reaches the dignity of an encore, but that
was the temper Of the audience at Pythian

to be found in the exceptional quality of
the artists, and the appeal OF an admira-
bly, selected programme. 1t is not Of
ten Portland concert-goers hear at one
recital such really fine singers as Miss
Mildred Potter and Mr.. John Barnes

inspiring an accompanist as Mr.. Chapman
himself. But Mr.. Chapman has made a
reputation for delivering the goods', il

in relation to music, and last nights con-

ant undertakings. On a small scale it

way, as music festival concert.

SHOE FACTORY PROJECT.
MIR. Normandy Now Presenting 1t to
People of Ellsworth.

MT. NOW IL "
People of Ellsworth.
Charles @. Normandy, who is interested
in a proposition to esta blish a small shoe
factory in Ellsworth, is spending few
days IN town making personal canvass
to see what financial help the people of
Ellsworth will give such an industry.
The committee from the Merchants asso-
citation thinks Mr.. Normandy's PROPOSE
tion looks good, and that the necessary
amount in subscriptions to stock can be
raised. p. B. Russell is interested with
Mr. Normandy in the proposition.
Mr.. Normandy and Mr.. Russell head the
subscription list with $1,000 each. MIR.
Normandy wants to meet all the people
interested in this project, and members of
the Merchants association will be glad to
make appointments for any to meet him.
Mr.. Russell is already well and favora-
bly, known to the people OF Ellsworth
and vicinity from his previous connection
with the Cole shoe factory here. He has a
summer home in Lamoine. He is an ex-
perienced shoe man.
Mr.. Normandy is president and treas
| urer Of the Mutual Shoemakers lncor-
| poration, of Norridgewock, and has built
up a successful business from a small
beginning. He proposes, if he comes to
Ellsworth, to introduce the same original
methods which have contributed so largely
to the success of the Norridgewock plant.
The principal feature of this is profit
sharing plan, whereby the customer be-
comes an interested party, receiving a
portion of the profits in consideration of
prompt payment in fifteen days. This
tends as safeguard against bad debts, as
well as a drawing and holding card for
customers.
1t is proposed to make here women's
turn shoes for comfort wear, and, as Mr..
Normandy operates factory making in
fants' shoes, much stock that would be
waste or could only be used to poor ad-
vantage, will be sold to that factory in a
cut condition.
Mr.. Normandy, being the salesman and
buyer of his factory, would, he says, bring
to Ellsworth good list of customers, and
the Ellsworth factory would also have the
benefit of his extensive advertising.
1t is proposed to organize under the
name of the Mutual Shoemakers of Els
worth, and to issue per cent. preferred
stock at SO share, par value.
The proposition is certainly worthy of
consideration by the people of Ellsworth,
and all interested should make an ap
pointment to meet Mr.. Normandy and
learn the full details of the plan at first
hand,
