Representative Randell of Tex
as held up this mirror in congress
the other day While the pic
ture is painful it is quite true to
nature
I make the assertion he de
clared that nearly ever mem
ber ol this house is in the employ
of some interest or is subject to
some influence and what holds
true of the house is equally true
of the senate I say this with
the hope that I may hurt no ones
feelings
And it is not by an means all
the fault of the repiesentatives or
senators they are chosen and
elected that way

against Mr Bryan Mrllitaheock
amfoumccp his FIRST OHQIOE
for presidential noaniinaticm
is JGiovernor Harmon of but
lie wall support either Mr Wilson
or Mr Clark iiif so instructed by
the demoionaitic voters at tine pri
maries Mir Bryam has stated
as between Mr Wilson and Blr
Clark he does not care to -express
a preference regarding them
both as progressive and that he
will be glad to vote in the con
vention for either if instructed
to do so by the denuo erajts at
the primairGes but that believiugc
that Ma Ilamnon is a reaction
ary whose nomination if secured
at all will be assured by Wall
street influcnceshe is not williroig
to le ia party to his nomination
Mr Bryan that if
elected a delegate hi will -resign
his commission and refuse
to serve if Mr Harmon receives
a plurality at the primaries If
the questiczi of instructions were
determined before the election
of delegates and determined in
favor uif Mr Harmon Mr Bryan
would not be a candidate for dd
cint1 but he- has no means of
knowing urjlil the delegates are
elcttd what the wishes of the
Nebraska demrxrats winy be in
regard to v candidate
Mn HitCluacck ini an editorial
criticizes the position taken
by Mr Bryan has conclusion be
ing summed up hi the following
sentence If Mr Bryam is not
willing to promise to abide by
the instruct as of the dc miccraits
of Nebraska he ought not be a
candidate MrB ryans ans
wer is that he believes in keep
ing the spirit cf the law as well
ai the letter -No man ought to
a tikanpt to speak for the demce
earry out the spirit as well as
e ry cut the tipppirit as well as
the lcitter cf their instructions
If Mic democracy of Nebraska fa
vor Mir Harmon it ought to be
trtpr stinted by delegates who can

Avith whom lie Jias labored fr

ag he dovi that Mir Harmon ii
a reactionary and the chcfisa oT
tk predatory in t tresis of the
ecmtry for tx democratic acm
mticn if believing thrs lis
wce willing to suirender he con
vLticus fee the honor of being a
delegate to the national
Ths is Mr Bryans po
sition and lie contends that he
is ahaiwmg more respect to demce
racy than Mr Hitchcock is
Mr Hitchcock knows as well as
Mr Bryan elocs that the democ
racy of Nebraska is prcgressiv
but he is not only willing but
anxious to misrepresent the de
mocracy of this state in1 the mat
ter of tlLe presidential nomination
He is endeavoring to prevent any
cooperation hetween the two pro
gressive candidates Mr Wilson
and Mr Clark with a now to
sc crjirung not a majority but a
plurality for Mr Harmon and if
he can do this he will go to Bal
timore and ally himself with the
plutocratic influences that are at
tempting to force Mr Harmon up
on ithe party
The democracy of Nebraska can
noj instruct Mr Hitchcock ms
to a platform if Mr Hitchcock
ds elected a delegate and can se
cure the ekcica of men like him
self he can hslp to write plat
foirm which will assassinate our
party an advance aud make it im
possible for even a progressive
to wu Net only that but if the
peirson instructed for however
progresave he may be can not be
Biom aiatew Mr Hitchcock will be
released from further instructions
and can then use liis influence
ais a delegate to foist upon the
parity aniy reactionary who may
be nominated with his1 aidyiegard
kEs cf the wishes of the demo
crats of Nebraska In other wards
he asks to be permitted to mis
represent the democracy of the
state and to help surrender the
party to interests who liave de
feated the panty in three cam
paigns hy opposing the democrati
ticket and in ai fourth campaign
defeated tha pairty still more dis
astrously hy controlling the or
ganization and the fight
JM r Bryan invites demoorats
of the state to decide hetween his
position and the position taken
by Mr Hitchcock Mir Bryan
will if the democrats wisih it
represent ithem as a delegate prO
vided lie can carry out tlieca in
structions in spirit as well asi an
leitter -If lie can not do so mot
being able to know in advance of
liin ftlAPtnoTi hp will irpsiom bis
commission and leave the eslSn
sentation to others who can give
voice to the partys wishes as
expressed at the primaries
Mr Hitchcock on the contrary
has so little interest in the de
mocracy of Nebraska and such a
contempt for its wishes that in
order to enjoy tine distinction of
being a delegate he is wiling to
betray them dnto the hands of the
enemy If the demoieraits in
struct for a progressive they are
entitled to progressives to repre
sent them If the -rule of the
people means anything it means
that those who speak for the peo
ple should say what the people
want said and do what the people
wnnt done Mr Hitchcock does
not diny the right of a repre
sentative ia finy legislative body
to resign rather than act against
his conscience and judgment and
he- would noi take the absurd po
sition that hr does if he couid
act upon this subject as an ab
stract proposition Avithout bias or

In reply to recent inquiries I
wish to state Our last legisla
ture provided for a presidential
primary at which the voters of
the different political parties may
express their choice for presiden
tial nominee of their party The
only way for this law to become
effective is for the delegate to
vote for the choice of the people
at such primary
Whether the choice of the
people of Nebraska on April 19th
should be Senator LaFollette
Colonel Roosevelt or President
Taft I will if selected as a dele
gate to the National Convention
at Chicago next June vote for
the choice as expressed by a ma
jority of the Republican voters
