Bryan Reception
Campaign Feeler
Metical
Pot Begins to Simmer
—Wet and Dry Coalition
to Be Sought.
imperial Dispatch to Tho Omaha Roc.)
Lincoln. July 6.—All political eyes
are centered this week upon a public
reception to be given Saturday night
at JJie governor's mansion to demo
cratic political leaders in the state. •
Hot only will Governor Bryan be
t!**re, but his distinguished brother,
William Jennings Bryan, three times
candidate for president and looked
upon by many as willing to make the
sacrifice a fourth time, will be on
the receiving line.
There, in the advantageous posi
tion of hosts, it is confidently pre
dicted that the riryan brothers will
do everything possible to gain con
sent of party leaders to follow the
Bryan banner in the pending pre
convention fight.
At the present time William
Jennings Bryan has expressed a lik
ing for the McAdoo candidacy.
Whether the brothers will openly at
tempt a unison of democrats behind
the McAdoo banner or will be content
tej sound out sentiment for candidates
and let that suffice for a time is
problematical.
Fly in Ointment.
There is one fly admittedly in the
ointment at this lime in the person
of Governor A1 Smilh of New York.
It ,is known every effort is being
mdde by Governor Bryan to keep the
wet democrats, already organizing
Smith-for-president clubs in Ne
braska, ih line with the Bryan stand
ard.
To accomplish this purpose, Gov
ernor Bryan has absolutely refused to
be quoted on Governor Smith's action
ning the prohibition repealer in
Vork. He also has handed out
Prize political appointments lo the
liberal element in democratic ranks.
To gain the friendship of the wet
element the governor has been
obliged openly to fight the officers of
the Antisaloon league and mutterings
of a “double cross" by the governor
are heard daily in prohibition ranks.
Despite the governor's opposition the
same officers of the Antisaloon league
who fought him in the election be
cause of his tieup with Senator Hitch
cock were re-elected recently by the
league.
With both of these elements being
urged to attend the democratic recep
tion and every effort being made to
impress upon them the need of a
ufiited democracy, which. Incidentally
must be led by the Bryans, the Yneet
ing here Saturday night promises to
b<j Interesting.
Senator Hitchcock is in Atlantic
City and his regrets have been re
ceived. The question is whether such
democrat* as James C. Dahlman, .1.
N. Norton, Theodore Oaterman, Dan
Butler and Arthur Mullen are willing
to gather round the governor's festive
board and boost whatever the Bryan
plans for the coming presidential and
senatorial campaign may lie.
