Trenmore Cone ^ Hunts Up Issues Iin Washington Taxes and Rail Rates Interest Nebraska Democratic Can didate for Senate; Ready to Disown Bryan. By P. POWELL. \Vii»liivtKt<>n Correspondent The Omaha Bee. Walhington, Jan. 9.—Trenmore Cone, candidate for the democratic nomination for t'nitcd States senator from Nebraska, arrived in Washington this week, for the first, hut he says, not the last time In his life. Trenmore believes firmly that a candidate to be successful needs is sues. It is for for those elusive, vote vote-catching issues that Trenmore is in Washington this week getting first hand information on matters politic during those hours he is not getting lost on the entangling streets and avenues of the capital city. There arc two things certain in the life of the orrdinary man. One is death. The other is taxes. Trenmore is extraordinary in that to him three Things are certain. Death, taxes and ids nomination as democratic candi date for ttie highest office in the Rail Kates ami Taxes. I Trenmore, .however, knows that ■vhile candidates are born.' for in Itance, the Bryan family, they must Seed issues t.a win. lie has an inkling *hf a number of platforms that would JtfRvle the political palate of Nebraska. Kit he wants to get these issues Kuare in his mind hers in Washing Ik .One matter or paramount impor lance to the people of Nebraska, taxes. ^ tariff and other things, notwithstand ing. is the railroad Issue, aecording to t'one. So he came to Washington at a time when he can listen to argu ments pro and eon (in the railroad consolidation plan. Trenmore Is neith er for or aginst the proposition at this time, lie is merely forming an opinion while the arguments are un der way before the interstate com merce committee. Another proposition which is caus ing the Kray matter in Trenmore s head to work overtime is the Income tax. He thinks two or three years after a person files liis Income be fore he learns how much of his hard earned cash shall be turned over to 'the government Is too long and too hard on the nerves. Trenmore has some pertinent questions to ask the proper income tax official in "Wash ington relative to this alleged abuse c ' governmental powers. The only i-i-ason Trenmore hadn’t asked them at the time of this writing was be cause he was having one terrible time In locating both the proper revenue office and the revenue of ficer who would take the responsi bility answering them. Against C. W. Bryan, an fact. Trenmore. until jusl be fore he leaves Washington, has only one matter of public Importance, one platform ready for utterance. That is, that Brother Charley has gone f.s high as he can in public life and hk^nrs absolutely no business getting W' Into the senatorial race. I As for AVashington itself, Trenmore thinks less of George Washington as an engineer than he ever did before, because It was no ot^ier than George Washington who plotted out the city nnd its pestling streets. True, at the time. It was felt it was a matter of military sagacity to make it a city of mystic, abrupt ending streets. However. Trenmore speaks the truth when he says the "war's over,” and asks why not straighten out the streets and let political issue hunters have less difficulty in Inerting both themselves end the issues in AVash ington? ".lust before I leave I'll have some hot stuff for you," was Trenmore's parting promise to s newspaper man. Prisoner Who Broke Jail at Fremont to Go to Pen Fremont.
