League May Break
New Party Slate
Sorenson Making Determined
Effort TO Gain Endorse
meni of Howell.

Lincoln, Feb. s.-(spseial.) - The
likelihood OF breaking the political
slate OF official leaders OF the new
third party by the Nonpartisan league
at lis annual meeting here February
q was under discussion today IN
political circles.
That c. A. Sorenson, Nonpartisan
league attorney and staunch support
er OF r. h. Howell. may attempt TO
get the league 10 endorse the Howell
candidacy, despite the official disap-
proval OF Howell by ]. II. Edmiston,
state chairman OF the third party,
was looked upon as a possibility.
From the first Sorenson disapproy-
ed OF the third party movement and
insisted that the league pursue ITS
old tactics OF endorsing candidates
in the two old parties.
Arthur q. Wray with Edgar How
ard and others ovcrrode Sorenson's
objections and Sorenson finally
joined. half-hcartedly, in the third
party movement.
Then at Grand Island came the
capture OF official positions in the
third party by oldtime populists with
Edmiston at the head and former
Nonpartisan league leaders playing
minor chords,
As affairs stand at present, the old
time populists have the appearance OF
controlling the machine, but the real
machinery, the third party paper and
the Nonpartisan mailing list, is in the
possession OF Sorenson.
Sorenson made one unsuccessful
attempt last week TO get Howell on
the third party ticket. AS to whether
he will lead a fight to get the league
leaders to endorse Howel's candidacy,
so into the primaries and demand re-
publican ballots to insure Howells
nomination is the question which the
league meeting will answer.

Bryan Followers
Say Osterman Is
Being Made'Coat'
Charge Made That Hitchcock
and Mullen Seek to Obtain
Delegation to Amend
Dry Law.

Lincoln, Feb. S.-(Special.) - The
Bryan-fo governor camp here is
openly charging the Mulen-Hitch-
cock faction with conniving to
slaughter Theodore Osterman Of
Merrick county, politically, TO keep
Charles w. Bryan from getting the
democratic nomination for governor
and insure success OF either former
Governor Neville or former Governor
Shalenberger.
Bryan's friends say this is repe-
tition of tactics pursued by the re-
dictionary wing OF the party in past
campaigns in which Hitchcock fol-
lowers urged progressive members OF
their party into fight against Bryan
in the primaries in order to insure
nomination OF reactionary candi-
date to their liking.
Norton Upsets Plans.
]. N. Norton of Polk was the Null
len Hitchcock choice at first, so the
story goes. But Norton, dry man,
absolutely refused to align himself
with the liquor element in his party
led by Mullen and Hitchcock,
Osterman, not quite so strong or
so well known, but sufficiently pro-
gressive in tendencies to pull votes
from Bryan, was the second choice
and last reports were to the effect
Osterman was nibbling at the bait OF
the Omaha politicians.
Nor is it believed Mullen and
Hitchcock will lose much sleep if
Norton goes into the third party, be-
lieving it will merely strengthen the
reactionary democrats and draw still
more progressive support from
Bryan.
Work for Shallenberger.
That Hitchcock has asked Shallen-
berger to run for governor and is
secretly behind quiet Shallenberger

pushing Osterman's candidacy. is 4

THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY.

Friday Of this week marks the
first anniversary of the death of
the lamented and beloved Arch
bishop of Baltimore, James Cardi-
nal Gibbons. The place which he
occupied in American life is still
untitled. No one has arisen to
wear his mantle as leading spokes-
man Of the Church in America.
When the public desires the Catho-
lie viewpoint ON a given topic or
problem, members of the hierar-
chy in various parts Of the coun-
try are interviewed; but it seems
that no one prelate has yet attain
ed the eminence accorded Cardi-
nal Gibbons by the American peo-
pie irrespective of race or creed.
This is not to be wondered at /;
for only by degrees did the late
Cardinal himself reach the sum-
nit whereon he appeared as the
mouthpiece of the Church in our
land. At the same time, it was
by broad use of sterling judg-
ment and good, common sense
that James Gibbons came to be
considered and held as a man
whose opinions and views repre-
sented the best in American Catho-
lie thought. ,
Other prelates there are who
surpass him in learning and in elo-
quence; but his grasp of public
affairs was directed not only by
thorough knowledge but by the
wisdom that comes only Of long
years and close study of men and
principles. Even among those
giants Spaulding, Ireland, Keane
and Ryan, the beloved incumbent
of Americas first see easily hello
the pre-eminence. and he was era
ciously accorded the honor by
other leaders of the Church. Thi.
was well expressed by Archbishop
ireland on memorable occasion
when he said: Whenever I an
called upon to give an opinion or
important national issues, | al
ways turn first towards Baltimore
to see which way the wind is blow
ing. /"

A DISTINGUISHED JESUIT
PRIEST WRITER AND MUSICIAN
DIES AT ROME-HONORED BY
LAST THREE POPES.

A great loss has been sustained by
the Society of Jesus in the recent
death of Rev. Angelo De Santi, one of
the most illustrious figures which has
adorned the society in Italy.
Born in lS47, he entered the society
in June, 1868, and was ordained priest
in 1877. His literary talent of a high
order soon manifested itself, and un-
til 1887 he served as editor of one of
the leading Catholic newspapers of
the day.
His name is associated with the re-
form OF sacred music, and his zeal in
the interests of this movement was
untiring. Leo XIII, Plus X and Bene-
dict XIV alike honored him on various
occasions. He edited a musical peri.
odical devoted to the problems of the
Gregorian Chant of which he was an
able advocate. He was founder of the
Pontifical Superior School of Sacred
Music, and had served as president
since 1910.
An orator of note whose eloquence
portrayed the fervor of an exalted
soul and a Christlike spirit of charity
his voice was familiar throughout
Rome, where he was deeply respected
because OF his piety and talents.

Missa octavi toni, Mass without

j. Score and voice parts. (Alfred

This ia probably the first-polyphobic
composition of canonized saint ever
published In print. The composition
of a saint! This very thought is such
as to interest the Catholic musicians;
but glance into the Mass will con-
vince him that even from a musical
standpoint he has in it work of
merit
According to the Paris review,
Etudes, Borgia's composition, is of
high artistic value. Its style is no.
tably superior to the Flemish compo-
sitions of the period through the good
taste and the art with which the imi-
tations are varied and brought to
close in good time" Besides, as the
Mass, in spite of all it's poiyphony. Is
easily understood and easy of execu-
| ton. 1t should be welcomed by church
choirs and soon become a favorite
with them.
