BRYAN IS NOT

"NOt To Be Regarded as Cur

LINCOLN, Neb. Jan. 9.-Polttieal
gossip linking his name with cab
met position, on the score that Presl'
.dent-elect Wilson Is personally oblig-
ed or indebted to make such an az
pointment, In discredited today by
William J. Bryan. In first page edi-
torial In his Commoner, which says
In part:
Cabinet positions ought not to be
regarded as currency with which 10
pay debts. They are responsible posi-
tons and In filing them the presi-
dent-elect should look TO the future
and not TO the past. A public official
has no right TO discharge political
obligations at the expense Of the pub
lie. The men selected by Mr.. Wilson
for the cabinet should be selected.
not because OF personal service rem
dered to him, nor ever because oil
past service rendered to the party.
The individual counts for little; the
cause counets for much. An indi-
vidual, II he had a proper motive for
working, finds sufficient compensation
in the triumph OF his ideas. princi'
pies and policies the does not need
the consultations OF ONCE. Onices
should be used to strengthen the par
ty. and to advance the things for
which the party stands.
at is pleasant TO reward those who
have been faithful, where that reward
can be given without sacrificing pub
lie interests. but where past service
is considered, 1t is better to consider
il as an assurance OF future service
than merely because tt has been rem
dered.
THE Commoner declines to discuss
cabinet possibilities, but II ventures
TO express the hope that Governor
Wilson will be governed by higher
motive than gratitude in the selection
OF his Official household. In other
words, the welfare OF the party and
the welfare OF the country, not the
ambitions OF men or the interests OF
its individuals, should be considered"

FIRST DENIES BOLDLY,
THEN BUBBLES HARD
DetrOiter Is Badly Battered in
Controversy With Edward
Frensdorf

me Quibbttng attempts OF Judge
Connolly TO crawl out OF the hole into
which he was pitched in the contro
versy he started over the statement
OF Edward Frensdorf. of Hudson. con
corning the manner in which Connolly
and the other Wayne county Demo
cratic delegates treated James Scully
candidate for the nomination for at
torney-general, for daring TO support
Wilson in face OF the organization de
cree, Is causing considerable amuse-
ment among the Democrats who are
not under the dominance OF the ma
chine.
Judge Connollys first step was
bold denial of the whole story, and
he wrote a letter asking Mr.. Scully TO
repudiate the statement OF Mr. Frens-
dorf Mr. Scully came back with a
reply which anything bat a re-
pudiation. He detailed the incident
in which Connolly explained the at
titude of the Wayne county delega-
ton toward Scully for attorney-gen-
eral and closed with this direct quo
tation from Judge Connolly: Well,
Jim you needed disciplining, This
was the basis OF Frensdorfs remarks
at the Democratic banquet in the Tul-
Ter hotel, Monday evening.
Now Judge Connolly comes back
with a very lame and faltering ex-
PLANTATION. saying that on this occa-
sion, which he recalls now that Scully
mentions II, he merely remarked In
broadly aphoristic manner: You
need discipline" meaning. OF course.
thai the value of discipline was de-
demonstrated In the manner
in which the Bulgarian army had
swept the Turks on their feet or some
other such general Interpretation, and
had no reference to the activities OF
Scully in behalf OF Wilson In defiance
of orders from the Democratic state
Politicians who have followed the
career of Judge Connolly are begin
ming TO wonder Just how far he Will
entangle himself IN this controversy
before realizing how foolish he Is In
trying to explain away facts that are
too we'll attested and At in too well
with common knowledge, TO be at
tackled. It Is taken az sign that the
end OF vote-swapping dominance Is In
sight, for In politics, explanations that
do not explain, are considered admls-
sions OF weakness.

more in the Progressive party than q
