Bryan Would Weld Two Parties Commoner Scheming NewPo I litical Coup for ‘Next Time Holds Out Olive Branch to Progressives. Move Aimed at G. 0. P. BY H. K. REYNOLDS International New* Service Staff Cor reapondent. Washington, Nov. S.—William Jen nings Bryan tonight Inaugurated a movement to bring the democrats nnd progressives under a single par ty standard in 192S. Admitting that the chief object in this was to wrest control of the gov ernment from the republicans four years hence, Bryan extended the olive branch to the voters who supported the l.aFollette-Wheeler ticket last Tuesday and invited them to come into the democratic fold. "The democratic party,” Bryan de clared, ‘'remains the only hope of the progressive element of the coun try, The third party, even under the able leadership of Senator LaFollette, polled such a small percentage of the total vote that his supporters must be convinced It Is impossible to build up a class party in the United States." This was Bryan’s first extended statement since the election which took the name of Bryan down to de feat in a presidential campaign for f tlie fourth time. leaders In Doubt. It came at a time when the lenders of tlie equally unsuccessful progres sive party are declaring that the ques tion of whether a permanent third party will be organized by the forces that supported the La Follette-Wheel er ticket "can not be answered With confidence at this time.” The progressive leaders are await ing word from Senator La Follette and Senator Wheeler as to their fu ture course, and are also looking for , ward to the conference for progres ’**" sive action to be held In January, 1925. It was this conference that nominated Senator Le Follette for the presidency, and it is expected to be the basis for any permanent par ty that may be organized. Bryan's plan, however, is to go over the heads of La Follette, Wheel er and the other progressive leaders with a direct appeal to tlse voters who supported the Indendent ticket. The republican landslide this year, Bryan said, "was not as disastrous to the democrats as the victory of 1920.” “Mr. Harding," he said, "carried in with him an overwhelming ma jority In both the senate and the . house—two-thirds of the house and I nearly two-thirds of the senate. This year, the republican majority is so so small In both houses that reac tionary legislation will be almost If not quite, impossible. The Mellon (tax) plan, for Instance, can hardly pass either house." Tribute to Victors. With regard to Tuesday's election, Bryan said: "It is too early to estimate with aocuray the relative Influence exerted by the several factors all combined to bring about the republican victory, but democrats find consolation in the fact that the high character of Pres ident Coolidge and General Dawes insures that the country will have the very best service that they can render. The government can not be shaken by the victory or defeat of ^ any party. It Is difference in opin ion and not difference in purpose that makes political campaigns. The defeated will share in all the good that their opponents can bring to the country, and the victorious will suffer with the defeated if any mistakes are made at Washington. "While the total vote has not been announced, it is evident that It is far below what it should be, the number of stay-at-homes being de plorably large. It is to he regretted that there are any who feel indiffer ent in presidential campaigns. They may decide the next election. “Notwithstanding the large plu r rality secured by the republican ticket, its tenure of office will depend upon what it does. The opposition will be strong enough t-> continue the fight; but it the democrats do half as well two years from now as they did two years ago, they will control the next congress arid lay the foun dation for the campaign of 1928."

Bryan Will Open Coal Yard Expresses Intention of hol lowing Hobby as Soon as Governor-Elect McMul len Takes Over Duties. Scores “Gasoline Trust” jB ■ By l\ C. POWELL. Staff Correspondent of The O mu ha Rpc, Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 8.—Governor Charles W. Bryan appeared in his office today for the first time since his defeat at the polls election day. The governor stated that he had nothing to say about the Coolidge Dawes victory. He devoted himself entirely to state issues and his own personal plans for the future. Will Open Coat Yard. The governor stated that he would enter the coal business in Lincoln after Adam McMullen became gover nor of Nebraska. Bryan said that he intended to handle coal, as a whole saler, as cheaply as possible, and ad mitted he would do all In his power to utilize the mailing list of coal pur chasers obtained by him ns governor in handling his private coal business from Lincoln. He then launched into an attack of republicans of Nebraska. The gover nor stated that since election day he has communicated with friends in the state who have informed him that the day following election the price of gasoline was Increased from 1 to 3 cents a gallon in every town in the state, excepting Lincoln. “Didn't Dare Do It Here." "They didn't dare increase In Lin coln because I had my state gasoline station here,” he said. “That's the price the people of Nebraska paid for a republican victory. The fact that the republicans won means i loss of approximately $4,000,000 a year to the I*eople of the state in their gasoline t^ll alone. The minute the gasoline monopoly discovered that the state of Nebraska went republican word was sent b raise the price of gasoline.” Will Be Candidate Again. Among the politicians in Uncolit it is taken for granted that Bryan in tends to run for the democratic nom ination for governor two years hence against J. N. Norton, who was de feated by Adam McMullen in the elec tion: The Norton men are asserting to day that the Bryan doublecross was working all during the (lection. Nor ton, they say, was a poor man and Bryan's friends Implored the gover nor to supply money for the cam paign. Tlie governor, they say. did not furnish the necessary money. Doiiblccroas Worked. The dope in the state house is that Bryan realized Davis was to be de feated in the national election and that the only political hope remain ing for Bryan was the governorship two years front now. Hence, the fail ure of Bryan to support Norton for governor as Norton's friends think Bryan should have done if he were a true-blue democrat, fighting for the success of the party rather than hts own personal success In the guberna torial primaries two years from this date. DIRECT PRIMARY LAW DEFEATED An analysis of figures of practically 1 complete unofficial returns from last Tuesday s general election on a pro posed constitutional amendment to make the direct primary system « part of the constitution and remove the party circle on election ballots for state and county officers reveals that the proposal was beaten by an overwhelming majority.

Even had tire proposal re ceived a majority vote the vote in its favor would have had to have been 35 per cent of the total vote cast be fore it could have become effective. The total vote was wore than 450,oa0. 1JDGE TALKS AT TEMPLE ISRAEL District Judgw T.. It.

While everything in the trial may not necessarily go to show fraud. Judge Woodrough said, it Is necessary that the prosecution be given an opportunity to present its; case.

Chancellor Resigns Post IS.v KARL H. VON W1EGANI), t niversul Service Staff ( nrre«polldent, Berlin, N'ov. 8.—A political and eco nomic crisis which threatens to blow up the whole financial sanitation pro gram of the league of nations haa broken over Autsria as the result of a general strike on its railways which has tied the country into a knot and left numerous Americans and other foreigners stranded in Vienna. The strike is the revolt of the rail road workers against the wages im posed on them through the program of the allies that the league worked out for Austria. t'hancellor Seipei, who wav* pledged to carry out this program, has re signed, partly it is assumed, to warn the strikers against possible con sequences but more especially to show the world that it is impossible to carry out that program. Dictator May Quit. Herr Zimmerman, the leagues dic tator in Austria, is expected to follow suit. The strikers, however, have the support of other underpaid work ers and the telephone and telegraph employes threaten to declare a sym pathetic strike. The strike which broke out over the final difference of less than 1150,006 is merely the most specta cular of a whole succe.tion of crtse* through which Austria has passed, each bringing it a little closer to final collapse. It is viewed merely as a new demonstration of mutilated Austria with its top-heavy govern mental organization In which capital is unable to live. The strike was carried «out with military precision and thoroughness. Since midnight not a train has moved except a few milk and food train* taken in to Vienna by the striker* I themselvr-. The government begged the strik ers to transport members of the na tional council into the capital. Th<* last train that reached Vienna was the Geneva express, which carried many Americans. English and trench from Italy. They are now unable,to get away. The last train leaving A ienna resembled a refuge* train, it was so packed with foreign ers. Germany May Be Next. A situation similar to that in Aus tralia i« developing in Germany. Th* Austrian rai! strike has electrified both the Germain railroaders and th* government officials who have jong been dissatisfied with their pay. The railroad district unions are loudly .-ailing for a strike and th* central rxe- utive committee has call ed representatives of the whole sys tem to Berlin on Monday to decid* on what action shall be taken. T-aN.r leaders believe a strike on the German railroads which recent ly wore converted into a private com pany under international control, ac cording to the Daw-* plan, is in evitable.
