Washington. Dec. 20.--All indica-
tions OF grave scandals in the ad-
ministration of Governor General
Leonard Wood in the Philippine is
lands were brought to the surface
here today in a demand for a con-
gressional investigation.
A resolution proposing an inquiry
by the house rules committee was
introduced by Representative James
A. Frear, progressive republican, Wis
consin, who stated that he would
press for action when congress re-
convenes after the Christmas holi-
days. The resolution, containing
about 5000 words and 81 specifica-
tions of the charges against Governor
Wood, is one of the longest docu-
ments OF the kind on record.
The high spot is the implied charge
that Wood has used his high Office

ran for the republican presidential
nomination In 1920.

Spoils Rule
of Bryans
Senator Assails Governor for
Paying Political Debts
at Expense of
Taxpayers.
May Take to Stump
BY =. c. POWELL.


Washington Correspondent. Omaha Bee.
Washington, Dec. 2o.-Whether
Senator George w. Norris is a can
didate for reelection or not, 1t is al
most certain that If an attempt is
made to foist Governor Charles w.
Bryan on the Nebraska electorate a
second time, either as governor or
something else, the Nebraska senator
will take the stump against him.
For the senator looks upon Gov
s'hor Bryan and William Jennings
ers of the spoils system, which the
senator detests. Whenever the SEN
ator speaks of the -spoils system he
rings in the Bryan brothers and
points to their insncerity in support
ing candidates on the democratic
ticket whom they have denounced in
party squabbles.
Pay Debts at Public Expense.
why, a republican can't even
raise fish in Nebraska under Govern
or Bryan" the senator said recently
in discussing the spoils system in
vogue under the Bryan regime. He
referred to the discharge OF time
tried fish hatchery head by Gov.
ernor Bryan and the appointment of
a democrat to succeed him.
Continuing, the senator cited In
stances in his knowledge where the
same tactics were pursued by Will
liam Jennings Bryan.
Bryan is a positive character and
has blazed the trail many times, but
he isn't any better than his brother
when it comes to the spoils system,
Senator Norris said.
IT know of an incident In Illinois
where an old woman s3 years old
was given a postoffice at the direc-
tion of William Jennings Bryan be
cause when he was a youth she had
coddled him on her knee. There was
a young man and an efficient man
who was an applicant for the posi-.
ton.
Robbing Taxpayers.
"Now it was a wonderful sentiment
that induced Bryan to give this
woman this position, even though
mAe couldn't work or give the gov
eminent the service demanded. But
it isn't right to put ones hand in
someone else's pocket to pay sen
timental debt. 1t Is the public, moi
Bryan, who paid that debt.
'How are we to have efficiency In
government as long as such instances
as these abound in our public life?'
Another incident of the sentimental
debts of the Bryans being paid al
public expense, which may form q
part of the senator's drive against
continuation of the spoils system In
Nebraska, is the act OF Governor
Bryan in placing nearly the entire
staff of the Commoner office on the
state payroll after the Commoner was
sold.
