DEMS CAST ABOUT
TO FIND LEADER
Question Whether Norton of
Polk Will Succeed to Posi
tion Held Last Session.
SOME LIKELY TO REBEL
(From a Stmff Corrwpondent.)
Lincoln, Nov. 29. (Special.) If
Representative J. N. Norton of Polk
county desires again to be chosen
leader of the democratic house of rep
resentatives this winter, he is liably
to meet with opposition.
"The domocratic majority In the
coming legislature is not going Jo
recognize any man as its leader, who
was not trjie to the entire demo
cratic ticket at the last election," said
one democratic member from out in
the state, and his statement, was sec
onded viborously by his companion.
"We have the goods on Mr. Norton,"
said the first speaker. "We are re
liably informed that he fought two
of the- leading candidates on the
democratic ticket in the election and
for that reason he cannot expect to
pose as a true, blue democrat and act
as a leader." .
Plan To Get Even.
According to the gentlemen, none
but the true and. brave may wear
democratic spurs of leadership and in
this statement they say they have the
support of many of the leaders of the
last session, who ' several times
gnashed their teeth in silence when
the "Gentleman from Polk" took the
legislative bull by the horns and
forced compliance to his demands.
The list of returning democratic
statesmen contains many who would
doubtless like to have the mantle of
leadership thrust upon them even if
they have to fight for it Richmond
of Douglas has had lots of experience
and would probably make a good
leader, while Taylor of Custer, if he
could curb his intense personal feel
ings, might wear the crown with
much pomp and glory.
Numbers of Others.
J. j. McAllitser of Dakota county
with his strong voice and fighting
spirit, might consent to take on the
duties of leadship, while Dick Regan
of Platte, the Irish patriotr could
command lots of respect as a leader.
Sorcn Fries of Howard, who -wfl
serve his seventh consecutive term
and has been the author of many
"very meritorious little measures,"
would look good as a leader, although
he might not be willing to give up
his usual place as chairman of the
committee on roads and the claims
committee.
JsA. Ollis of Ord is another man
who has had much legislative exper
ience and has qualities of leadership,
which will bear inspection, while
former Speaker George Jackson is a
very popular man. However, Mr.
Jackson with Mr. Trumble of Sher
man are candidates for the speaker
ship and the one elected could not
be a floor leader.
Take Action to Force
The Trains to Stop
V
South Sioux City, Neb., Nov. 29.
(Special.) Residents of this town and
Dakota City near by, will combat the
action of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minne
polis & Omaha railwayjn refusing to
stop trains here and at Dakota City
for the accommodation of passengers
bound south. An appeal to the Ne
braska Railway commission will be
made. !
Passengers enroute to and from
Sioux City, la., have been departing
from and boarding the trains here,
thus evading the 2'j-cent fare law al
lowed in interstate commerce. Last
Sunday a large number who had spent
the day in Sioux City departed on
the interurban line at Sioux City for
this place, thus saving the bridge toll
of 25 cents and an additional toll of
5 cents for mileage. The Sioux City
interurban runs to the Omaha's South
Sioux City Station.
The passengers were amazed when
the 5:10 train rushed by the station
at a fifteen-mile an hour clip and left
them to get home the best way possi
ble. They were unaware of the road's
new time card. x-

Plan Reconsideration
. Of Reorganization Plan
(From a Start Correspondent.
Lincoln, Nov. 29. (Special.)
From all appearances it seems that
the so-called "editorial highbrows"
who a couple of weeks ago "-eorgan-ized"
the Nebraska Press association,
are not satisfied with the work done
and it is under that President Clark
Perkins has called a meeting of- the
executive committee, for' Grand Island
next Friday to go over the matte
again. '
Much opposition has developed
to the plan among newspapermen
who have been with the association
for many years and it is this opposi
tion with a possibility that it may re
sult in a new association which has
caused the executive committee to
sit up and take notice, according to
an old member of the association liv
ing at Lincoln who has taken much
interest in the reconstruction of the
association under the new scheme.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 29. (Special.)
Railway Commissioner H. G. Tay
lor has received notice that he has
been appointed a member Of the val

sociation of Railway Commissioners.
This is one of the two strongest
fommittees of the association Mr.
Taylor will accept. ' -

Butte, Neb., Nov. 29. (Special Tel
egram.) Butte celebrated the formal
opening of the new $30,000 Parshall
state aid bridge Tuesday, with a big
ox roast and dinner to the people of
Hot and Boyd counties. Exercises ot
the day began with the ceremony of
opening and naming the bridge. John
A.- Davies made the dadress, after
which Miss Dolly Reiser broke a bot
tle of charnpagne over the railing and
named it the Parshall state aid bridge,
in honor of Jonas Parshall( an old
soldier, who formerly owned the farm
on which it is located.
A procession of fifty automobiles
was then formed and went to Butte,
where dinner was served by the Butte
community.
Assisted by the women, 1,000 per
sons were fed in a little over two
hours. A free picture show and dance
at night completed the program.
During the afternoon the county
boards of Holt and Boyd counties met
in joint session at the court room and
on motion of State Engineer George
H. Johnson accepted the bridge and
ordered the return of the contractor's
bond.
This bridge is the result of a five
year struggle on the part of the peo
ple of Butte and northern Holt county
to secure a bridge. During the after
noon D. H. Cronin of O'Neill, in an
address, gave the history of the bridge
and of the state aid law under which
bridges have been built costing $700,
000 in the last four years.
The bridge was built by the West
ern Bridge and Construction company
of Omaha. S. A. SWanson, state dep
uty engineer, was in direct charge of
the work.
