What has become of the Tobcy
Hayward congressional fight. If there
in anything doing it is being kept
very "secret, Get into the limelight,
gentlemen, and make a noise like real
candidates.
The poor old democracy in this
state is in a hopeless muddle. If it
does not do the bidding of Insurgent
Bryan it will be damned and if it does
it will be damned just as hard.
This insurgency business is getting to
be something fierce and there is no
knowing w here it is all to end.
To see the big fight fest between
Jcfferics 'and Johnson you will have to
go to San 1'rancisco, for Ted llickarel,
the referee, has so ordained. If that
fight was held a mile up in the air there
would be n big crowd at the ring side
and Halley's comet would not travel
fast enough to suit some of the sports
who will go at the appointed time.
Bryan will probably come out as
as avowed candidate for United State's
senator unless Governor Shallenberger
calls an extra session of the state leg
islature for the purpose of submitting
the initiative and referendum, Bryan
has been running the democratic party
in the state of Nebraska for so long
that he has inbibed the idea that he
is the party and the rank and file
an appendage like unto the tail of
Halley's comet. It is not good for
any party to delegate to one man,
no matter how great he may be(or think
lie is) the power to dictate policies
of legislation.

Is it possible that Billy Bryan is

and incidentally, wrote a speech of
several pages of manuscript upon count

instead the man who received it
threw it into a waste basket and no
mention was made of it. There was
a time when such an act would hav
now counts a new and most startling
variation from conventional cow paths.
One- of the country's notably conspic
uous and consistent democratic parti
sans fer twenty years appears em the
stage in the heart of the democratic
country. He hires a hall to voice his
views, and quails not though he eloes
not find local democrats enough in
sympathy with him to fill a chairman
ship for the nice ting. "The democrat
ic party in Douglas county docs not
seem to stand for what I elo," he re-
arks, and talks on as if that made no
ifferenee. With the frankness of an
nfant terrible he drops a remark like
lis: "Not a member of the Doug-
is county democracy raised his voice
or offered to aid me in holding this
meeting. To such a degree is the
irty in this city terrorized by the
irewcrs.
Compared with this outbursrt the
insurgency of La Fole-tte, a Cummins
or a Beveridge is lamblike gentleness
U-sieles, these are comparitivcly huni-
e Uniteel States senators, whereas
M. Bryan is the titular leader fo the
party now ami thrice in the past its
indicate for president. Ami such
change! This is a man, who true to
ic gods of party regularity, declared,
Great is Tammany ami Croker
its prophet. Even so in Denver,
as Judge Lindsey observes, he speike
for a democratic ticket representing
verything that is corrupt and preda-
ory just because it was labeleel ele-me!-
cratic. And they elo say that in the
amc of party regularity he helped
lect the present senators from Doug-
is county.
This Is the Bryan who rises in Oma-
rn to protest against having the elemo
cratic party the "avowed representa
tives of the lifjuor interests" and is
"willing to be counted as one who
protests whether those who argec
with him arc few or many."
This sounds like the voice of a Paul
whose eyes have been opened. It
must be remembered, however, that
the fire test of Mr. Bryan's insurgency
is yet to come. When a elemoeratic
conventiem of Grovcr Cleveland post
masters was sitting upen the young
Mr. Bryan some sixteen years ago
ic said something about serving his
country "under another name." When
machine methods were making Jutlge
ravker the democratic nominee in
1004 Mr. Bryan did some tall conven
tion insurgn.. Yet Mr. Brvan has
never bolted a democratic candielatc.
The worst democrat has always bobbed
up as better than the best republican.
When the time conies to choose be
tween a county option or initiative
and referendum republican for legis-
ator or governor anel a democratic
"representative of the liejuor inter
ests," then we shall know whether
Mr. Bryan's insurgency is more than
tongue deep. Slate Journal.
If life is so unbearable in Nebraska
becaus.; of these grievances, whv
have they not been abated by our
democratic law-makers who promisul
if given the power that they would
make this a laud of milk ami honey?
If things are growing worse in Nebras
ka instead eif better, the n may it not
be because of democratic misrule
in the state house, and may not. the
remeely be to turn cut the demo
crats and restore the republicans?
The only real progressive legislation
we ever hnd here in Nebraska has
come from republican law-makers,
and not from elemoeratic law-makers.
So cheer up! Life is still worth
living, even in Nebraska, because
the-re is hope that we may be relieved
of the democratic yoke and seion again
enjoy the balm of republican sun
shine. Bee.
