W. J. Bryan is a candidate for one of the i in- dele uates-at-lartre. In appealing to the democrats to elect him a delegate he claims to be a friend of the president although admitting that he does not agree with him. What Arc The Facts In The Case? The democracy of Nebraska is united in support of President TTilsou and in accord with his policies. Mr. 1-Jryan is not in ae--urd with the president and does not represent the democracy of liis stcite. 13 v his own actions Mr. Brvan has forfeited his right .0 speak for the democrats of Nebraska. After accepting the high office of sec retary of slate in Presi dent Wilson's cabinet, Mr. Bryan embarrassed the president and lowered the dignity of his position by accepting speaking engage ments in which he appeared on the same program with yodlers, vaudeville performers, etc. lie did this under the plea that he could not live on 12.000 a vear and continued it until driven from it hy the press of the country. HE DID IT FOR MONEY. After a bunglesome career as secretary of state he resigned under tire and at a time when it would embarrass the president the most and seriously hamper his successful negotiations with foreign powers. This act was widely commented on as little short of treason. His career since his resignation has been one of insidious criticism and hostile propaganda against President Wilson and his policies. The president put forward a modest and conserva tive preparedness program. This was immediatelv branded bv Mr. Bryan as "MILITARISM." lie attacked the president ;s program in his Commoner and kept it up for several issues. His In-other in Lincoln sent out thousands of circular letters attack ing the president's policy and asking people to send in clubs of su!-ri prions to the paper so that it could carry on the fight with greater effect. These attacks became so pernicious that it was nec ssary for the president of the United States to take his case directly to the people, which he did with marked snecss. - Any one who has read the president's speeches has no doubts as to whose utterances he was refuting or alluding to. The press of the country, democratic and republican alike, recognized thai Bryan was righting the president. We are all familiar with his last fiasco in congress. TCir t ported conference with Senator Gore of Oklahoma and the ap pearance of the Gore resolution in the senate and the McLemore roolution in the house. His trip from Miami to Washington at the time this agitation was at its iieight and his dinner with mem bers friendly to his propaganda in congress in regard to the armed ship controversy. This unpatriotic action and interference with the president's plans became so acute that President Wilson had to put the matter tip as a clean cut issue and informed con gress that the resolutions must be tabled or the whole fabric of bis foreign policv would be destroyed. Patriotic democrats and rcpubli.-ans in congress rallied to the president's support and Wood row Wilson was sustained. It is fair to assume that if Mr. Bryan is sent to St. Louis he will coininue to fight the policies of the president and endeavor to incorporate planks in the platform that will in effect be a repudiation of the president. Mr. Bryan should not be permitted to do this and will not be permitted to do it UNLESS TEE DEMOCRATS ELECT HIM. Mr. Bryan is now on one of his annual or biennial visits to the state. He is here to further the political prestige of himself ami his brother, although ostensibly advocating another issue, lie has his own hand-picked candidates for delegates-at-large running with him. These men are expected to do the Bryan bid ding or they would not be selected by him. There are, however, four candidates for delegates-at-large who arc not hand-picked and who will support President Wilson ungual iriedly and unreserved!' regardless of Mr. Bryan. These candidates are: W. D. OLDHAM of Kearney " i W. B. PRICE of Lincoln DOUGLAS CONES of Pierce LOUIS PIATTI of Omaha There are also two candidates for district delegates from the First congressional district who are not in the Bryan list. These men an;; W. F. MORAN of Nebraska City H. E. GOOCH of Lincoln A VOTE FOR THESE SIX MEN WILL BE A VOTE FOB AX UNQUALIFIED AND ABSOLUTE ENDORSE MENT OF PRESIDENT WILSON AND HIS POLICIES WITHOUT RESERVATION. VOTE FOR THESE MEN ON ELECTION DAY AND STAND BY THE PRESIDENT. This advertisement la paid for hy H . B. Gooeh, President The Star Publishing Co., Lincoln, 'eb.)

Driven Back By French Fire Around Chauffeur and Cailette Woods. Paris, April 6. The French gained ground north of Cailette wood, north east cf Verdun, in the course of sev era lengagements during the night, the war office has announced. In Monday's fighting around Ver dun the Germans lost considerable of the gained ground and again sustain ed heavy casualties, notwithstanding the new formation of their attacking parties. At 3 p. m., after the ground had been battered by several hundred tons of projectiles, a thin line of riflemen debouched from Chauffeur wood, just northwest of Douaumont. The Ger mans advanced by short bounds to ward the French trenches, situated about 300 yards south of the village. A second and a third line followed at equal distances with small supporting and attacking columns in the rear. This formation has been noticed dur ing the last few days and is regarded by the French as proof that the Ger mans have been sorely punished in their previous assaults in serried ranks. New Form of Attack Failed. But the change proved ineffective. The first line of riflemen advanced to within fifty- yards of the French po sitions and then had to drop to the ground under heavy blasts of shrapnel and sustained musketry. The second and third lines attempted to support the first line, but were stopped far in the rear by a terrible machine gun fire. The Germans in the first line were in a very critical position. Shrapnel worked havoc among them. To charge was out of the question, and as long as thev remained at the point to which they had advanced they were exposed to a withering fire. The second and third lines were but little better off, for they were within range of French three-inch guns. The entire attack ing force finally adopted the only move open, and retreated to Chauffeur wood under a raking fire. They left half of their number on the field. At least three regiments took part in the attack. Still Were Not Safe. Chauffeur wood proved to be an in secure shelter, for the French artil lery, increasing its range, covered the entire area. It demolished shelters and piled up the German losses. The action is regarded by military critics as of great significance, show ing that the Germans, even with their new formation, are unable to escape the furious blasts of French artillery, that the French positions, though vul nerable at certain points, perhnps. cannot be shaken and that the French counter offensive is effective. lei ill USHSli i - I I - -w ry T IT T - l X AK'c 1 FrcparaticntrAs- j tinitlx S tods and BmJ - ;rr5 .
