Bryan Won't Go to

Declines Invitation Of Cover.
nor Pinchot to Attend
Executives Meeting.

Lincoln. Nov Ex-Governor Bryan
today made public telegram sent to
Governor Pinchot In which he de-
clines the Pennsylvania executives
invitation to attend the conference of
governors at which plans for reduc-
ing Dhe price of anthracite coal TO the
consumer Will be discussed.
II believe the only way TO deal
with the coal combine Is through
government competition or govern
ment control the message reads.
"and have been successful In
Carrying on competition In this state
the last two months and have reduced
the cost Of soft coal on an average
of $350 ton.
THE basis OF settlement OF the re-
cent coal strike Is costing the coal
consumers OF the country an addl-
tional 81 .000 900 week" the message
said
II am advocating that the govern
ment take over the coal mines, both
soft and hard. and operate them for
the protection OF coal consumers and
business until definite and practlc-
able plans can he devised by the
government to regulate the coal bust
ness SO that the coal trust can no
longer impose upon the people of the
entire nation

Senator Norris
May Be Candidate
for Reelection
Letter Indicates He May Ac-
cede to Wishes of Friends
and Again Enter
Race.

Lincoln, Nov. Ex-senator Norris
may be forced to reconsider his de-
cision to withdraw to private life, ac-
cording to persons in close touch
with him here. They base their belief
on letter recently received from the
senator in which he states that he
has been overwhelmed with letters
urging him to place his name on the
ballot. and that the demand may
prove to be so great that 1t will be
impossible TO adhere TO his original
course.
Senator Norris advanced poor
health az his chief reason for retiring
from public activities, but his letter
confirms reports that have been re-
ceived from Washington declaring
that the senator is now IN excellent
physical shape.
Despite she intimation that the
pressure may become irresistible. the
senator reiterates his previous state
ment that he hopes such will not be
the case.
Should he allow his candidacy TO be
filed ii Is probable that c. H. Gustaf-
son and Fred johnson. who have an
nounced their senatorial aspirations.
will withdraw from the race. both
candidates having stated in their an
nouncements that they are acting on
the assumption that the senator will
not be a contestant at the primaries.
