GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. July 31-(spe-

not worthy to lace his Shoes" shouted
r. L. Metcalfe last night at the demo-

and down the platform shaking his fists
again and again In the faces Of the
Dougls county delegation whom he took
particular pains to point out.

closed the debate.

shouted. He lives and will live on In

The debate had been long drawn out.
The chairman had to rap continually for
order as the factions grew noisy and con-

demanded an explanation Of the $4,000

Wheat Drops and Oats
Rise Near the Close

CHICAGO. July 3l.-Errauc price
changes took place today In the last
few minutes Of trading in the July de-
livery of grain. That option. which
expired today, fell 81 cents bushei net
for wheat and rose 2hc net for oats. In
corn the trades were as much as Nc
apart at the same instant in different
corners Of the pit.
A furry among speculative shorts who
had waited vainly till almost too late
to settle was responsible for the unusual
fluctuations in the coarse grains. Wheat,
on the other hand, slid down because de-
mand for July delivery had been taken
care of beforehand SO there could be no
chance for a final squeeze.

Democrats Trying to Get Together
on Pending Tariff Measures.
WASHINGTON. July 3l.-The democrats
of the senate agreed in caucus today to
stand behind the La Toilette wool bill
and ask the house for conference. The
house yesterday refused to accept the
bill as 1t passed the senate.
Democratic leaders, including Senators
Simmons, and Martin, were authorized
to undertake a settlement Of all tariff
bills now at issue between the two houses.
These include the combination metal
chemical bill and the wool. sugar and ex-
else tax bills.
1t is expected that the regular repubH-
can leaders of the senate will offer no
obstructions to the settlement of the
tariff bills in conference. On the wool
bill 1t is believed the conferees will again
be Senators La Toilette Bailey and Sim
mons: and that an agreement viii be
reached upon the same basis as last
year, when the raw wool duty was fixed
at 20 per cent ad valorem.

NO FOREIGN NAVAL BASES HERE
All Purchase that Might Make Them
Possible Condemned.
ASKS SENATE TO ACT AT ONCE
Report is Presented to Senate and
Will Come Up Today.
MAGDALENA BAY INCIDENT
tions of Japanese Syndicate to
Buy Large Tract Near Good
Harb0r, in Mexico.

WASHINGTON, July S1.-The senate
foreign relations committee today adopted
without dissent Senator Lodges recon-
mendation that the United States re-
affirm the Monroe doctrine in terms
clear to all the world. and adopted reso-
luton to express disapproval of the pur-
chase of any possible naval basis on the
American continents by any foreign
power.
The senate in an early report will be
asked to endorse the committees stand.
A firm statement by the United States
is asked for as a result of the Magdalena
hay incident. where it was shown that a
Japanese syndicate had been negotiating
for 100000 acres of land along the west
coast Of Lower California in Mexico.
While the Japanese government was
found to have had no connection with the
syndicate, the senate subcommittee, con-
sisting of Senators Lodge, Root, Hitch
cock, Sutherland and Raynor, reported
to the full committee today that the cir
eumstances afforded an appropriate oc-
casion for an expression of the view of
the senate regarding such cases.
Will be Adopted.
The Lodge resolution, which probably
will be adopted, declares that the United
States cannot see without grave con-.
Germ" any harbor or advantageous spot
in the western hemisphere taken over by
foreign government, or by q foreign
corporation bearing close relation to the
government. if such occupancy would
threaten the commerce or the safety Of
the United States.
Magdalena bay is considered the most
advantageously located naval base on the
Pacific coast. because Of its relation to
the western terminus Of the Panama
canal.
n was said that the corporation which
had the lands to sell had advanced tha
argument that their possession would
be of particular benefit 70 a foreign ms
ffon. Because OF that attitude on the
mart OF the corporation, the committee
decided to make clear the American posi-
ton on what II regards as the encroach-i
ment of foreign powers on the western
continents.
Resolution is Reported.
Senator Lodge reported the resolution
to the senate shortly after that body met
and action on it was deferred until to-
morrow. The resolution follows:
Resolved, That, when any harbor or
other place in the American continents
is SO situated that the occupation Thereon
for naval or military purposes might
threaten the communications or the
safety Of the United States, the govern
ment Of the United States could not see
without grave concern the possession OF
such harbor or other place. by any cor
poration or association which has such
a relation to another government, not
American, as to give that government
practical power Of control for national
purposes.

WHERE WERE THE DEAR
PEOPLE7

In the republican primaries in New
York state the Roosevelt movement
failed to score single hit. Two to
one was the proportion of President
Tafts victory over the colonel. In
not single district in which the
issue was joined We're the Roosevelt
candidates successful. A few Roose-
Welt delegates TO the national con-
vention were nominated, but they
We're chosen from districts in which
there were no contests by the Taft
people. With characteristic modera-
ton. Colonel Roosevelt remarked tnat
it was "scandalous" the way the
machine was conducting the primary
in New York county, and doubtless
he will consider the result of the
primary even more "scandalous." The
president thinks a good deal better
of 1t. He has telegraphed his con-
calculations and appropriations to the
chairman OF the republican county
organization, and his campaign man
ayers are feeling very good over the
result, as well they may. Colonel
Roosevelt's effort to beat the man he
pressed into the presidency has come
to very complete grief in his own
state. In Indiana it is pretty nearly
as bad. The state convention Of the
republicans Of that state a day or
two ago instructed the delegates at
large to the national convention to
support the candidacy Of President
Taft, and returns from the districts
show that the president will have
% Of the 80 delegates from Indiana
to the national convention.
In the New York primaries the vote
was very light. compared to the vot-
ing strength of the party in general
elections. Only about one-half of the
number of enrolled republicans par
ticip3ted in the primary, and even the
enrolment did not represent nearly
the full strength of the party at the
polls. This is a feature that seems

CALLING HRYAN's HAND.

Hon. H. c Moore, the chairman
of the Harmon organization in Ohio,
mihces no words in calling William
jennings E.Nan to account for his
charges against Governor Harmon.
Mr.. Bryan has stated that Governor
Harmon is the candidate of Wall
street. He makes the statement with
cut qualifications or amendment. It
is a direct and positive charge.
Mr. Moore. speaking for Governor
Harmon 1nd for the supporters of
Governor armon throughout the
country. has called on Mr.. Bryan for
protf OF tnis charge. He waits to
know what foundation Mr. Bryan has
for he declaration that Governor
Harmon is the candidate of Wan
street. He also asks Mr.. Bryan to
explain the fact that Woodrow Will
son, who is being supported by Mr..
Bryan, is swallowing in campaign
fund the size OF which has not been
seen since the days of Senator
Hanna"
Mr.. Bryan, it is needless to remark,
will not produce the proof. He has
no ouch proof. In his unreasoning
malice toward every public man who
does not meet his personal require
ments, Mr. Bryan has evolved this
charge from his prolific imagination
Mr.. Bryan's tricks of this sort are
nearly always directed against demo-
Gratis who dispute his personal lead
ership and dictatorship of everything
in, of and for the party. He is bitter
against Governor Harmon now be-
cause Governor Harmon is the logi-
cal nominee OF the party and because
Governor Harmon's success spells no
political advantage for Bryan.
1t is well to make the direct de-
mand upon Mr.. Bryan occasionally, in
order that he may be shown up for
the reckless and malicious detra Or
of democratic character that he is He
has never answered one of these chal-
lenges and he never will. He sub
sists on buncombe and on the I'M
thinking admiration of those whom
he can successfully bambozzle.

to BE Characteristic of the primaries
that are being held in states where
there are two strong parties, and it
is an argument against the adoption
of the primary system of nominations
that cannot be ignored by the acvo-
Gates of that method of choosing the
party candidates. The primary works
well enough-with certain important
Iimitations-in those states in which
the nominations of the dominant
party are practically equivalent to
election of officials, as, for example,
in Georgia, but does not seem to be
effective in bipartisan states, and
especially does it fail of application
in The selection of representatives to
party councils. This latter defect,in-
deed. may be noted in this state. The
repr esentation of the party in the
ward clubs, which is, in effect, the
primary for election Of delegates to
all gather 1gs of the party itself, is
almos: Invariably far below the vot-
ing strength even in the general pri-
mary
Where are the people who were so
wrought with desire for Col. Roose-
;elts services to the country? What
has become OF the great mass that
was seething for him? Hardly a
handful of delegates have they been
able to muster for expression of their
moving desire, to which alone the
colonel yielded his reluctance to
emerge from the retirement he so
earnestly craved The Taft tale goes
on with monotonous regularity, and
the present summary shows an utter
failure of the Roosevelt movements
to achieve any practical results. The
colo lei is on the hustings, beating up
the bushes with all the might of his
lusty arm, but the people aren't rush
ing 10 him anywhere. He is not only
a beaten man but completely dis
credited politician. His only re-
course is in abuse of the very tribunal
to which he has appealed He has
declared that he was beaten in North
Dakota by democratic votes in the
republican primary and he denounces
the New York primaries as "a Grim
inal farce" Up and down the land
he IS going raving and railing, be-
cause the results are not measuring
up to his expectations. The people
continue to rule their affairs and re-
fuse to surrender their functions to
his self appointment, and that he
takes as evidence of their oppression
and enslavement to some unspecified
power. IN
