Skvekal severe cyclones have lately hit this state, but thov are not a patch ing totho one that will blow the repub lican party into kingdom come next No Vcmbef. . The republican candidate for United States sena'toY jn' the recent Oregon . election was a gentleman named Cako ' but his namo is Dough now. Cako was too aristocratic to suit the corncake voters. ' Governor Sheldon says ho longs to return to his farm. Well, ho won't have to wait long. The democrats will x elect another fellow in the fall to suc ceed him, and Ihen he will be at liberty to go homo and husk his corn in his . law office. The republicans are trying to mako political capital out of the fact that the democratic national committee contrib uted a few thousands to the democratic campaign in this state in 1904. Shade of Mark Hannal What Pecksniffs these carping critics bcl U. S. Senators Brown and Burkett are scrapping over which shall bo called to second Taft'a.ripminntion, on behalf of Nebraska, at Chicago next week. Whichever1 one secures the honor is quitcTlikely to find himself ashamed of it after the ides November. Judge CoNNOH(xowncr of tho O'Keefe ranch near Hemtagford, was defeated for re-nomination to congress in the re publican primary election in Iowa last week. The judge may bo able to con sole himself with the reflection that he would not feel happy in a democratic congress anyhow. At a state meeting of the anti-ljquor league held at Hastings last, week, Rev. S. Z. Batten of Lincoln denounced the , .SlocumU lawv.and declared that '''high license "laws" are the most iniquitous ever vomited from (he pit of hell.'1 Is tho Rev. Batten trying to rival "Rev." . Billy Sunday in the use of intemperate language? Rev, Batten better stuff his mouth with cotton batten, else his hear ers will fill their cars with that article. The prospects for democratic suc cess aro brighter now than they have been at any time since Grover Cleve land attempted to assassinate the dem ocratic party. The. times are ripe for a change. Republican policies have brought distress and ruin to thousands of people. The workingman can not he bambpozled, this year with fables about tho full dinner pail. Tho square deal no longer means a square meal for everybody. Tho enemies of democracy are divided and discouraged, while we are tinited and confidcut. With proper effort, success is sure. All that is nec essary to achieve a brilliant victory is good .organization',' intelligent leaders, and work nvorkivork. The rank and file of the party is lull of faith. But it i3 well to remember that "faith without works is dead." Wo once knew a pious old darkey wlib prayed fervently for several nights that the Lord would send him a chicken for his Sunday dinner. Sunday came, but no chicken. Sambo then prayed that tho Lord would send him after a chicken. He got it. He also got thirty days. hut that's another story. Primary election Maws sometimes bring unexpected -results. In Iowa the "stand-pal republicans carried the state for Senator Allison by 10,000 ma jority and at the same time lost nearly all their congressional nominees to the "progressive" republicans. In Oregon a still more peculiar anomaly was the result of the primary held in that state last weak. The republicans secured an overwhelming majority in the legisla ture, and yet, under the provisions of the Oregon primary law, they lose a United States senator because the dem ocratic candidate received more votes than his republican opponeut. This result certainly proves that primary laws promote independent voting, and -it also seems to indicate that such laws . , may eventually cause trua disintegration of all political parties and the nomina tion and election of men to office with out any regard whatever being paid to '- their partisan affiliations. Whether eyuch a 'result is'esirable is as yet a de batable question, but the tendency of the state-wide qpeq primary is certainly in that direction. " WOK OF Currency Bill a Radically Vicious Measure. WILL REACT ON REPUBLICANS Senate Majority .Surrenders to Forces of Plutocracy- La Follette's Brave Flht Ineffeotual Wisconsin May Swing to the Democracy Fairbanks True to the Trusts. By WILLIS J. ABDOT. FerlinpB It was because this haB been n fighting and n singularly HI tempered congress that It closed its first session with a hurst of hilarity and nonpartisan good fellowship such as has never before been witnessed in the house of representatives. There were songs, processions, wild dances on the part of distinguished Btatcsmcn, general eulogy of Speaker Cannon even from that side of the chamber which has been denouncing him as nn autocrnt as, of course, ho Is songs by members of tho press gallery and songs in return from the lloor directed toward tho prcso gnllcry. One Incident unparalleled In the history of congress wob what might bo called n battlo of tho pictures. A big photograph of tho speaker attached to a broom was horno Into tho hall at the head of a procession of members of both politi cal faiths, who joined in singing verses In his eulogy. Thereupon a militant Democrat, Ilollln of Alabama, looking upon Uncle .Too as a receptive presi dential candidate, discovered a por trait of Mr. Bryan In the Democratic cloakroom, attached it to a broom ami, at the head of a procession of Demo crats, brought It Into tho chamber. A struggle ensued between the two fac tions, each striving to hold tho por trait of its champion the hlgLcr. It wns settled finally by a Republican tossing the Cannon picture Into tho press gallery, whence it wns proudly displayed. The Democrats tried to do tho same thing with the Bryan picture, hut missed their aim, and it fell to the speaker's desk, nnrrowly missing his head. As It was heavily framed it might have led to a serious accident. The scene must have been a curious one to people not familiar with tho fa cility with which nn American legisla tive body can turn from serious busi ness to horseplay and back again. jsvery nvo or ten minutes a messenger from the senate would nppear In the center aisle to announce the passage of a hill, and at the tap of the speaker's gavel perfect order would bo restored, only to have pandemonium break out again tho moment tho business wob ended. Tho speaker scorned 'to- enjoy it as much as any. one, hut asked the press associations to scud out little concerning It, because, as he put it, "tho boys on the floor and tho boys In the press gallery understand this Bort of thing, but there is the diplomatic gallery crowded with representatives of forelgu legations, and whut they must thluk of this sort of frolic stumps me." The Last Hours of the Senate. There was less good humor and more dignity In the senate as Us session drew to a close. Tho attempt of Sena tor La Folletto to defeat the currency bill by talklug It to death left 11 good deal of bitterness at that end of tho capltol. It waB a gallant Dght that the Republican Insurgent uiiidc, and I urn inclined to apprehend that some west ern aud southwestern Democratic sen ators are likely to suffer among their constituents for leaving him to make it almost unaided. Beginning at 12:30 p. in., ho talked continuously until uft cr 7 o'clock tho next morning, breaking thereby tho record for long distance oratory. There havo been other fili busters who occupied the floor for a longer space of time, but that was by aid of the device of sending loug docu ments to the clerk's desk to be read, during which time the speaker had nn opportunity to rest It was In this way that Senator Tom Carter tulked the river and harbor bill out of exist ence and Senator Cannack In a later congress, slaughtered tho ship subsidy bill. I Jut this year a rule was brought In prohibiting this practice, and all quo tations which La Follettc desired added to his speech had to bo read by him. The fact that he has been for nearly two months a sick man made his per formance all the more extraordinary. Ills only nld came from Senator Stone of Missouri and from Senator Gore of Oklahoma. The latter's speech was In no sense a filibustering device, though, delivered at tho time It was, It aided the effort to talk down the currency bill. It was, In fact, one of the ablest speeches delivered In the senate this session, touching upon all present day Issues of Democracy, and will make one of the best campaign documents the Democratic national committee can circulate. It Is not probablo that even had the Democrats as n whole Joined La Toi lette, Stone aud Gore the bill could have been beaten. A filibuster can only bo completely successful when the day of adjournment Is arbitrarily fixed, ns In the case of the short sessions of congress. There was absolutely noth ing to prevent this congress sitting until next December unless it were the anxiety of senators to get to tho Chicago convention, But a hard fight might have compelled the amendment of a radically vicious bill and perhaps the concession by tho Republicans of the publicity bill, unoq" jv.blclj t,he Democrats are a unit. ' ', There wus a certain pathos In tho In cident that terminated the filibuster. Senator Gore Is blind. It had been ar ranged that when he ended his speech CONGRESS Senator Stone should tako up the flght-'once mora. Tho Missouri s'enajon liad stepped out of the chariibci; for n few inomoi&s, and Senator Gore, not being warned and being, of course, un able to detect his absence, brought his iftmatks to nn end. Tho Instant ho pat down Aldrlch sprang tp his feet, secured the floor and demanded' that voting begin. Some Possible Political Effects. The day nfter La Follette's defeat in this fight Washington was buzzing with speculation as to -whether the bit terness which ho manifested would not result in his openly abandoning tho Republican party. This I do not be lieve, although I agree wltli the very generally expressed opinion that tho treatment of the Wisconsin senator by tho other Republicans In the sennto und by tho vice president will go u long way toward making Wisconsin n doubt ful state this year. As 11 presiding officer Mr. Fnirbanks adopted tactics that w'ould make the late Tom Reed and the present Joe Cannon wonder at their own moderation. The only sen ator on tho lloor whom he seemed able to see was Aldrlch, and ho responded to the arguments and even to tho ges tures of that somewhat notorious legis lative agent of the trusts, monopolies and plutocratic forces with n docility that was amazing. He Invented prec edents nnd shattered old ones. Per haps tho senate never saw one of its members so thoroughly Incensed as was Senator Ileyburn of Idaho at the cavalier fashion In which ho was treat ed. Tho remark was current that if Falrbunks should bo renominated for vice president he would need to look out for tho Idaho vote. Th Chicago Contests. Secretary Dover of the Republican national committee reports that there are more than 1200 contested seats for the Chlcugo convention. It Is 'o bo kept in mind thut primarily these con tests uro to be settled by the preseut national committee, which Is notori ously hostile to Tuft. This committee will make up the preliminary roll of the convention, and these "00 seats may give the Uutl-Taft people control of its organization. In pussing upon credentials politicians are peculiarly cold blooded. Questions of justice sel dom enter into consideration. AH the hopes of the anti-Tuft people center upon these 200 Beuts. For my own part, il do not believe that Taft cin now be beaten, nnd I am decidedly in clined to the opinion that the man who should beat him would havo u soiTowful time in the campaign unless that man should be Roosevelt himself, and through a specially favored White IIouho correspondent the president has put out another announcement of bis purpose not to run. Democratlo Progress. -,. The result of tho Texns, New nabn shire, West Virginia, New Mexico and Arizona conventions added slty-twV' instructed delegates to the Bryan col umn and eight delegates from New Hampshire who are not instructed, but who arc all avowed advocates of tho nomination of tho Nebraskan. The name of no other candldute was men tioned in auy of these conventions. This gives Mr. Bryan C53 absolutely Instructed votes. Furthermore, out of the fourteen votes of Connecticut at least six are for him. In Florida there has been some misunderstanding not readily explainable at this distance. The vote in that state is by direct pri maries and not by a convention, and it wns supposed that the delegates. had been chosen and all were for Bryan. But It appears that owlug to some In formality or Irregularity In the proce dure new primaries must be held In six districts. There Is no expectation, however, that the reported result will bo changed. Seven out of the eight Rhode Island votes aro his and twelve votes from Maine. In brief, the friends of Mr. Bryan may rely today upon 590 votes to Denver, much more than a majority, enabling, even should there bo unexpected reverses later, the Bry an men to organize the convention. But there Is no reason to anticipate reverses. Tho dally report of tho ac tion of country conventions Indlcato th-.it there will bo Uttlo serious hostili ty to him In the convention of the Old Dominion. For some time there was a rather general opinion that Louisiana might send an anti-Bryan delegation, but Congressman Favrot, who returned to that state recently, said that word had come to him that not only" would the delegation be favorable, but that It would be easy to secure instructions. Congressman Pujo, who has not been favorable to Mr. Bryan, only the other day gave up the fight nnd conceded his stute. It has been an interesting fea ture of the discussion, particularly hero In Washington, that so many of tho "leaders" have been somewhat op posed to this nomination, but that all coucede that It is demanded by their constituents. , The Rival Candidates. There has been no change in the ex tent of the support of either Judge Grny or Governor Johnson. Judgo Gray's frleuds uro muklng n canvass for him which somewhat re&emble3 his own character, calm, dignified nnd honorable. Governor Johnson is iu danger of suffering from the misdirect ed zeal of his spokesmen. For exam ple, the proclamation put forth from his headquarters In Chicago that the plan of the men who are leading Bry au delegations to Denver wns to nomi nate him there and defeat him at tho polls in order to be permanently rid of him does not come with good grace from a supposedly Democratic source, Every Democrat of lawful age has rr right to aspire to a presidential nomi nation, but It is one thing to make a -cnnroBs for a candidate aud another to devote all your political energies to the effort to destroy another candi date.

The Republican National Convention will bo held in Chicago next week. The republican national executive committee is already on the ground and is making Taft delegates as fast as the contest machine can be worked. There were over a hundred contests from the south, most of them brought by the opponents of Taft, and up to tho present writing all that have been disposed of haye been decided in favor of the secretary. Mr. Talt or rather,-Theodore Roosevelt, the Prince Tallyrand of American poli tics has a grapevine twist on the com mittee, and every time Teddy swings Jiis big stick," down goes a bunch of anti-Taft coons. Consternation has seized the allied opposition and they are making all sorts of threats to bolt the committee and take their grievances on to the floor of the convention. But they will do nothing of the kind, for they would find less mercy there than the committee has shown them. They are whipped, and their howls are sim ply an evidence that they realize it. Though a democratic paper, The Her ald cannot but express admiration for Roosevelt's brave flight, in behalf of his friend, against the most powerful elements of his own party aud against the majority of his party, who did not want Taft forced upon them. As a partisan 01 uryan s, we are ot course pleased with the president's action, for it makes Bryan's calling and election sure. Cummins of Iowa is no longer consid ered a comin' man.

NORMAL NOTES The large enrollment this year, the largest by far in the history of the Alli ance Junior Normal, is exceedingly grat ifying to the management. The enroll ment Wednesday was 200, and there is every reason to believe that it will go considerably beyond the 200 mark. 2 The faculty is as follows: Supt. D. W. Hayes, Alliance, prin cipal. Instructors Supt. Walton of Chadron, Supt. Pate of Sidney, Prin. Wilson of Stella. C, W. Phillips of the Lincoln high school, Supt. Phlpps of Box Butte county, Supt. Ritchie of Cheyenne county, and Susie Frazier of Alliance. Rev. Jefiers conducted devotional exercises at chapel Tuesday. The dif ferent members of the faculty were also called upon for brief remaiks and re sponded in a faceious and enthusiastic manner. Books were distributed and lessons assigned Monday, and on Tuesday ev erything was moving along as though school had been in session a month. J Rev. Graves conducted devotional exercises Wednesday at chapel. He will address the students at chapel next Wednesday on the subject, "The Poet ry of the Bible." Citizens of Alliance are cordially invited to be present at this, as well as other chapel talks. Chapel talks scheduled forthis week were: Wednesday, Supt. Pate, subject, "The Boy"; Thursday, Supt. Walton, subject, "School Athletics"; Friday, Governor Sheldon will address the stu dents. I Supt. Gibson, of Gibbon, represent ing the Nebraska Teacher, was with us, presented the merits of his paper, and took subscriptions for same. i A photograph of the school was ta ken Wednesday morning. I Fully 100 students are boarding at the Normal dining hall. Although this is is a greater number than was expect ed, those in charge of the culinary de partment have been equal to the emer- gency. Everyone has been well taken care of, both as regards quantity and quality of food. i County Supt. (Miss) Ellis of Dawes county is with us and has charge of the special features which distinguish this w1ek aiiP8t!tute week of the Normal. Miss Elhs has a large delegation of teachers here, and her assistance has been of great help in securing the large enrollment we have,
