MULLEN DODGES
BRYAN'S BRICK;
MAY BE FRIENDS
"Old Politician" at Lincoln
Says "Politics Make Strange
Bed Bugs Buggier;" Tells
j of Mattes.
: (Frnm Stuff Correspondent)
Lincoln, Oct. 6. (Special.) The
controversy which has arisen over the
charges made by Charles W. Bryan
in an interview in The Bee in which
ha declared that Arthur Mullen, dem
ocratic national committeeman for
Nebraska had lost his power to dictate
things politically in this state, has
stirred up a merry row among demo
crats. "
The charge was made by Bryan that
when the state went "dry" Mullen's
power as a party boss went with it.
This is denied by some, while others
point to the fact that with the state
dry" and a prospect that Lieutenant
Governor Howard may succeed to the
fjovernorship there will be mighty
ittle consolation for the Mullen
crowd.
Busy All the Time.
The Bryan men are willing to admit
Mullen is a astute politician nad that
hit political noodle is working most
of the time. They point to the fact
that with a state W.000 "dry" the
crowd Mullen represents was able to
make the senate mighty close on the
"wet" and "dry" question, so close
in fact that it seemed at one time as
if the "wets" were in the majority,
and this, too, with the help of only
two republicans. .
They are willing to concede that it
will not do for the "dry" democrats.

go to sleep. ' They point to the fact
that Mullen's position as national
committeeman gives him a prestige
that will count for a Rreat deal, and
that being a man who never rec
ognizes defeat until he has to will
mean that the Bryan wing of demo
cracy cannot afford to take things
easy just because Bryan believes Mul
len s power is on the downward grade.
Many Brvan democrats still fear the
Mullen wallop and they do not want
to feel it.
; What Will Howard Do,
A great deal may happen between
now and when the daisies bloom in
the good old summer time. Should
wan dread alarms call Governor Ne
ville to active duty at the head of th
new Seventh regiment. Lieutenant
Governor Howard will then be gover
nor., , The storx that, he would shortly
after donning . the executive raiment,
resign and let Senator John Mattes,
president of the senate, succeed to the
governorship, In order that he," How
ard, might get Mullen's support for
the democratic nomination to the
United States senate, is not at im
probable as some of the state house
democrats would like to believe.
Politics "makes strange bed bugs
buggier" and it would not be the first
time that political enemies' have em
braced each other in an effort to better
their own condition and save the old
political ship from the rocks. It is
well known that the senior senator
from Omaha has presidential aspira
tions. In order to make himself strong
in the next national democratic con
vention, he must have the undivided
support of his party from his home
state. '-.
Wants to Make Up.
National Committeeman Mullen is
a strong personal friend of the senior
senator. ( It will be up to Mullen to see
that Nebraska's democracy is solid be
hind the Hitchcock boom for the big
nomination. There "is only one way to
insure a solid democracy that is to for
get the past and kiss and make tip.
What more plausible proposition
than that the national committeeman
from Nebraska should swallow the
democratic feelings against Bryan and
go to Bryan's very strongest political
champion, who happens to have an
itching to go to the United States sen
ate, and say: .
"Howard, old top, you would like to
be ' United : States senator . from Ne
braska. - In order to get there' you
must have the support of our party.
Now we want to make Hitchcock the
big cheese we want to make him the
party nominee. - '
"In order to do that we must have
a united democracy behind him in this
state. Governor Neville soon will re
sign to go to war. You will succeed
him. It will be then up to you to
make yourself solid with certain par
ties by resigning and letting Mattes,
who has president pro tern of the sen
ate will be next in line for governor,
succeed you as state executive." ;
- Steering From Reefs. ; ;
He could tell Howard that he was
sure Mattes, would be perfectly satis
fied to fill cut the unexpired term and
this would leave Howard free to make
a campaign next year for the United
States senatorship and with the Mat
tes contingent feeling kindly toward
him and the Mullen crowd satisfied,
there ought not to be any reason why
he could not land the democratic nom
ination for the United States senate
hands down.
Such a proposition might arouse the
risibilities of average politicians, but as
one looks over political history he may
be able to recall several instances
where politicians with the old political
ship manned by a crew on the brink of
mutiny have forgotten their personal
differences when they found the old
ship headed for the rocks, and in des
peration have jo'ned forces.
Burglars Break Into
Kearney High School
Kearney, Neb., Oct. 6. The office
of City School Superintendent A. L.
Caviness was entered by burglars
last night. Entry was obtained to
the high school by removing a win
dow. A small fireproof safe was
forced and 50 cents 'in money taken
here. The desk of the superintendent
was then pried open and a quantity
ot stamps taken. Next a door into
another office was jimmied, but here
the thieves gave it up as a bad job,
havi ngsecured but little plunder for
their efforts. The school officials
and police are unable to connect any
one up with this jub, but pupils are
above suspicion as the entry bears all
the marks of a knowing hand.
On another night, this week some
hoodlums bent the large steel flag
pole on the high school grounds,
damaging it almost beyond repair.
The two acts are nor connected up
by the police.

TAFT TALKS HERE
TfflCEOH OCT. 19
To Address Fine Arts Society
in the Afternoon and the
Palimest Club at
Night.
Ex-President William Howard Taft
was in great demand as a speaker in
Omaha, when it was found he was to
be here October 19. He was so much
in demand that the Omaha Fine Arts
society, which organization is spend
ing its money to get him for an after
noon appearance in the Boyd theater,
had to call a halt.
They called a halt on the Com
mercial club, for the club was plan
ning to get Mr, Taft to speak at a pub
lie affairs luncheon at noon on that
day. The Fine Arts society (decided
that if 600 people heard him free of
charire at noon they would not rush
manly to the Boyd to hear hum again
so they nipped in the bud the ambi
tions of the Commercial club.
Commercial Club Retires.
Out of deference for the priority
claim of the Fine Arts society upon
the statesman, the Commercial club
immediately retired from the race.
The Palimpsest club, however, stuck
in the chase and landed an engage
ment. They will have Mr. Taft in the
evening at a dinner. Jonn Lee Web
ster, president of the club, said the
nlace had not vet been arranged.
However, the time and place for his
anpearsnce under the auspices of the
Fine Arts society is fixed for the aft
ernoon of October 19 at the Boyd.
the feeling expressed was not a bit
ter one and the cases were not at
tendent with rioting.
Three German-Americans, residing
near Pleasanton, were called upon by
a delegation of their neighbors, also
German-born for the most part, who
demanded in each instance that the
American flag be conspicuously posted
about their homes. One of the trio
was made to publicly express him
self as regards his attitude toward
the kaiser and he promptly shouted,
"to hell with the kaiser," and ve
hemently denied that he had any love
for the Hohenzollern family or its
like.
The "visitation" took place just
after a number of national army men
had left cleasanton for their journey
to Camp Funston.
Another of the trio, a school direc
tor, pleaded that he had not found
time to come to Kearney and pur
chase an American flag and that he
would gladly hoist one were it avail
able. He was accommodated by his
callers und the flag fles high from his
family home now.
German-Americans to
Display the Flag Now
Kearney, Neb., Oct. 6. (Special.)
Judge W. D. Oldham, chairman of the
Buffalo County Council of Defense,
received another report yesterday of
deminstrations made against German
Americans of this county. This time
Pershing Declares Americans
Will Drive Germans from France
American Training Camp in France,
Oct 6.America's lighting men will
carry the cause of the entente allies
to a successful issue over Germany,
General Pershing, commander-in-chief
of the American forces in
France, declared today. His state
ment was in answer to reports that
the war on the western front will re
sult irt a' stalemate.
American newspapers recently ar
rived in France telling of efforts in
certain quarters of the United States
to spread, the idea that the western
front can never be broken or the Ger
mans driven out of France , have
aroused not only General Pershing,
but the entire American army. Fur
ther resentment has been caused bv
the information that these reports
had been taken up by German news
papers in an attempt to belittle Amer
ica's effort in the war.
"German propaganda working in
America through the agency of our
pasifists would spread this idea among
our people in order to weaken our
initiative," said General Pershing.
"Having lost its tactical advantage
in the Ypres salient, which it en
joyed for more than two years, the
German army continues to yield
ground before the hammering British
assaults. Everywhere on the west
ern front, despite the large number
of German troops which the Russian
situation has released, Germany is on
the defensive and the atlies are on
the offensive.
"America has the resources in men
and material, once they are prepared,
to add the weight which must force
a military decision against Germany.
Our troops are imbued with a spirit of
aggressiveness, a spirit that means
we are going to win this war and that
we have no idea of allowing our
selves to be influenced by pacifists or
enemy propaganda. Neither have we
any false notions that victory is go
ing to be, an easy matter. But that
only makes our determination
stronger.
"Every man, from top to bottom,
has entered this war imbued with the
fighting spirit; which meais that the
cause of the allies will fee carried to a
successful issue."
