High powered political ex-
plosions from democratic
leaders of the anti-Bryan
forces were heard in Omaha
Wednesday when the full
meaning of Governor Charles
W. Bryan's announced pro-
gram began to soak in.
The governor made it plain
that he wants a hyphenated
candidate. A democrat
cannot win is Bryan's idea.
Nebraska, a republican state,
will not give a majority
against Adam McMullen un-
less there is a hyphen candi-
dacy against him. Therefore
the governor insists that the
candidate be a "demo-radical-
progressive"
More Than State Issue.
The explosions are coming chiefly
from the following:
Arthur Mullen. democratic ma
committeeman.
Dan Butler, democratic member
Of the city commission.
Neither is the roar that is filling
the sounding box Of the democratic
party in Nebraska confined TO state
issues.
While no open charges have as yet
been made there is an uneasy feeling
that Bryan is seheming to "gip' the
national ticket by flirting with La
Toilette In an effort TO get himself
named as the La Toilette candidate
for vice president.
Bsyan's Back Door" Hopes.
Bryan's hopes on this score are
said to be founded on the La Toilette
plan to throw the election for presi-
dent this fall into the house OF rep
resentatives. BY blocking the nam
ing of a presidential candidate, the
senate. which selects the vice presi.
