On April lSth the democrats of Nebraska will elect four
dt-It ntc.-at-larjre and two delegates from each of the- six con
gressional districts to represent the Nebraska democracy at the
St. Louis convention. 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

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.
