BRYAN TAKES Up
CUDGELS AGAINST
BOSS SULLIVAN

Lincoln, Neb., April 17.-Under the
caption, "The Wages of Sin Is Death,''
W. J. Bryan in the current, issue of
the Commoner returns to the attack
on Roger Sullivan of Illinois, declar-
ing him traitor to his party and
pursuing the policy Of rule or ruin.
Last fall, the article says, 'Roger
Sullivan gave the state of Illinois to
the republican party; this spring he
turned over the city of Chicago to the
republicans. Having control of the
state organization, he gave the demo
Gratis Of the state their choice be-
tween himself and defeat. When con
fronted with this alternative, they de-
cided that defeat was to be preferred
to democracy personified by Sullivan
and the kind. of politics for which he
stands.
In the city Of Chicago, he also dom
mated the organization and gave the
democrats of that city their choice
between a Sullivan controlled city
and defeat. They, too, chose the lat
ter. Is his revenge against progres.
sive democracy satisfied, or does he
contemplate still further assaults"
Bryan goes on to say that Illinois
under Governor Dunno is, and Chicago
was, in good hands, but Sullivan is
against both.

AUTO LICENSES ARE
NOW in DEMAND

Applications for automobile licens-
es are coming into the office of the
secretary of state at the rate of from
500 to 1000 or more per day of late.
The reason for this is the fact that
many automobile owners put off the
matter of securing their 1915 licenses
until the roads opened up and now
with the fine weather and fine roads
all are anxious to secure the license
tags and avoid trouble with the auth
critics. The auto license crew in the
Office of the secretary of state is

expected that total of $4,000 licens-
es will be issued this year.
