Place Where JOkers Appear

IihCt nHtIc JOkeIh Appear
Il have been watching the legislative
wheels 60 round for many years. The
same objections apply in legislatures
as apply in Washington.
Every one knows that 1t is in the
conferences between the two houses
that most Of the dirty work is done. II
is here, behind the absolute veil OF So
crecy and with no record even Of votes.
that so many jokers are inserted and
so many good things which the people
fssire are quietly murdered.
Then when the bill emerges the
members Of the two houses have only
the right to vote it up OF vote It down.
Il know plenty Of reasons why the
interests and those with special priv
ileges should desire the continuance Of
the present system in the state lcgis-
latures. But what defensible reason
can any friend of the people have for
not advocating the change to the small
single branch body.
"This would eliminate the necessity
OF conferences. Il would eliminate
secret compromises. Friends Of the
people could force an open roll call
on any question they saw ~. The
people would know just who voted for
them and who against them without
any possibility Of concealment"
The announcement by Senator Norris
that he would not be a candidate for
reelection was one Of the big sur
priscs Of the recent campaign. During
the session Of Congress just before the
campaign Senator Norris had q break
down one day in the Capitol He went
out to Wisconsin, where he remained in
seclusion for long, absolute rest,
during which he did not even read
newspapers. Completing his recovery
early in October, he mapped out a
singlc-handcd campaign through Ne
braska. in which he hammered con-
tinuolly on Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock. for
many years his Democratic colleague.
Cause Of Howell's Victory
Politicians generally credit the huge
plurality rolled up By K. b. Howell
against Hitchcock very largely to this
extraordinary campaign conducted b.
Senator Norris. II Is difficult 20 ex-
aggerate the strength Of Senator Nor
ris with the people Of Nebraska. lie
has never been troubled with the ne
eessity Of finding out what the people
Of his state think.
Norris's colleagues are very much in
terested in his desire to reform the
legislative system Of the forty-eight
states starting with Nebraska, but they
are somewhat agitated by his obviously
increasing eRgerncss to get out Of the
Senate. The point is that on January
1 Charles ". Bryan will be Governor
of Nebraska, and IL Norris should re-
sign from the Senate Mr.. Bryan would
appoint his successor. II is just pos
sible, it was pointed out here to-day,
that Mr.. Bryan might appoint his
brother, William jennings Bryan, as
Senator.
