WILSON REFUSES
TO BOW TO BRYAN
stromsburg Candidate for Railway
Commissioner Will Not Sign
Dry Pledge.
HAS ALWAYS BEEN DRY MAN
From a staff Correspondent

From a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. Jan. 15.-(Special There Is
an old saying that a man is known by his
past, but that doesn't go with Mayor
Charles w. Bryan. who figures that the
other old saying, Let the dead past bury
its dead" or something like that more
fittingly strikes the ideas of the new order
of things, as the organs would like to sec
them and which they propose to see put
into effect.
Victor Wilson Of Stromsburg lives In
dry town in a dry county which has been
that way for many years. The Polk
county statesman has always fought for
the dry cause and has not been afraid
10 spend q few of his hard earned
sheckeis as q banker-lawyer to back up
his belief, but he is in bad with Mayor
Bryan because he will not come out and
pledge himself to the Bryan plan and sign
the Bryan dry plVdge.
The other day when Wilson was here
attending the democratic editorial ban
quet the mayor asked him il he expected
as a candidate for the democratic nominal
ton for railway commissioner to sign the
Bryan dry platform pledge.
Not Going 20 sign.
Mr.. Wilson promptly told the Lincoln
mayor there was nothing doing along
that line. He said he had been a dry
advocate all his life and had fought for
the dry cause and IL that was not suffi-
Client evidence that he was entitled to be
called a dry man and entitled TO the
Bryan support, then he would run with
out it.
Il is said that he was told by Mr..
Bryan that past records would not count.
A man must be born again and have
the Bryan stamp of approval on his
anatomy at time of birth or he could not
expect to receive any help from the
Brothers Bryan. and. on the other hand,
might expect to find someone stamped
with the new birthmark opposing him.
Vic was mad. He had boosted for
Brother Bill from the time he ran for
congress up to the time he landed in the
= presidents cabinet He had drunk water
warm and unpalatable, on a hot day
many a time because he did not like the
stuff with the foam. He had drunk cold
ice water in winter. when shivering with
the cold, because he would not partake
OF that which warmed up the inside; and
II that was not satisfactory evidence that
lie was a good Bryan democrat then the
mayor could so TO Halifax or some other
warm country before he would find the
Polk county statesman signing pledges
for no other reason than that the mayor
wanted to dictate things.

4 New Years
Allegory

A CROSS the snowbound earth the
"a New Year stepped buoyantly.
IA A splendid youth he was, with
radiant eyes, full red lips and
the star OF hope set above his brows
Life called to him, called with a
thousand eager voices, and he smiled
as he listened, remembering that for a
whole year the world and the men
thereon were his.
Far away under the frozen sky a
blaze Of light shone like a jewel. and
he quickened his steps as he turned
toward the city.
And, though the lights shone boldly
when he entered 1t, most of the streets
were empty. Only few men were
about, and as the wind swirled at cor
ners they ran for shelter.
In one of the streets the New Year
met woman. A dark veil fluttered
around her, so that he could not dis
tinguish her form, but her face was
very sweet as she bent and clasped a
child to her heart. Tho New Year gave
her greeting.
"You are Charity, I know" he said.
Charity laid her hand In his and
smiled. And, for all his youth, her
smile set him dreaming Of green woods
and golden sunshine, Of vague, sweet
things that were still unknown to him.
Indeed, so deeply did he dream that
as he walked he collided with another
woman.
Another woman!
A glittering gas moth this, with a
pert, powdered face. carmined lips and
hard, bright eyes.
"All hail" she cried mockingly. 81
shall be your constant companion. for
am Sin. and where men are there you
will always find me-"
The New Year shrank back, and his
face darkened. But Sin pressed close
