Norris Fires Broadside at Partisan Rule Not Only Bryans, but Men in All Parties Guilty of Spoils System, Sen ator Says. Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Washington, Deo. 28.—There are others besides the Bryan boys who in the opinion of Senator George W. Nor ris have destroyed their usefulness in public life to a great extent by their extreme partisanship. It is with an idea to make it plain that he isn't making a partisan at tack on the Bryan boys for their par tisanship that the senator issued a statement in Washington today set ting out clearly that the intense spoils in partisanship to which he objects has been evident in republican ranks as in democratic ranks. “In an interview printed in Nebras ka recently in which I criticized Wil liam Jennings Bryan and Governor Bryan for their partisanship, I said in substance practically everything the correspondent has alleged yet he gave readers but a small portion of what I actually did say,” Senator Nor ris said. Both Parties Guilty. “I was talking to quite a number of gentlemen on the question of par tisanship and was showing what I believed to be one of the great evils in our governmental affairs. I gave them quite a number of illustrations where, in my judgment, prominent men in public life have injured their usefulness by being unri "'nablj partisan. I gave more illustrations from lives of republican party men than I did from that of democrats. “The correspondent picked out what I said about the Bryans and omitted the balance. Besides, the interview would purport to be one where the object of it was to make an attack on both William Jennings Bryan and on Governor Bryan, when as a matter of fact, I gave them only illustrations of the rule I was condemning. Thus the interview as printed is given a setting which in reality, made prominent one of the illustrations and omitted al most entirely the real object I had in view. Drawback on i'rogress. "I am not apologizing or retracting anything that I have said in regard to the partisanship of either of the Bryans. They, of course, like all other men, have a perfect right to be as partisan as they please, but I am not selecting them as a class by'them selves and condemning them for this reason. There are just as many re publican partisans as there are demo cratic partisans, and I do not wish to he placed in the attitdue of condemn ing one more than the other. "I wish it also to be understood that I frankly admit many of our great and good men have been and are bitterly partisan. It is my judgment, how ever, that ih every such case, Buch men injure their usefulness and stand in the way of. human progress. I have often admired William Jennings Bryan in the attitude he has taken on various public questions, but I have often seen him destroy the good ef fect of hid own work by what seem ed almost a slavish obedience par tisanship. Cites Attitude Toward Hitchcock. "One of the first things that Gov ernor Bryan did after his election was to give a public interview in which he bewailed in the most sorrowful manner the fact that Senator Hitch cock had been defeated In thy same election, and that a republican legis lature had been elected, and yet I knew, and I think everybody else knew, that Governor Bryan regarded Senator Hitchcock as the embodiment of all that w'as wrong and objection able in public affairs. If the voters of the state had heen as partisan os he was In that interview, he would not have received the thousands and thousands of republican votes he did receive at the polls. "From what 1 could observe at a distance, the legislature and the gov ernor gave to quite an extent at least, an exhibition of the evils of par tisanship, particularly in stale gov ernment. each trying to get a party advantage over the other.

'Controversies that might honestly have arisen ought to have been set tled on broader grounds than party politics. In fact, the settling of any question purely a partisan basis never gives any assurance whatever that the settlement is just and right. “What I have said about partisan ship applies to both political parties and to the federal government as well as the state government. I cannot, of course, and do not pretend to an swer misrepresentations that occur from time to time, regarding my po sition on public questions, but so far as I know, while The Bee does not agree with me on a great many things, it has under its present man agement, always been fair, and in this case, while I think its cor respondent In Washington Intends to be fair, he has shown me In a par tisan attitude that is unjust. For Business Government. “I do not expect partisan newspa pers to agree with me in my atti tude on partisanship or my desire to banish it as much as I can from gov ernment, particularly In our own state, hut I Invite honest construc tive criticism, not only from The Bee, but from any other source. “I want to see our great slate banish partisanship entirely from Its government and place It squarely and entirely upon a business basis, abol ishing criticism that comes from party consideration and make all criticisms upon a constructive basis. “We should not ascribe all kinds of evil motives either to public men or to private citizens, simply be cause we do not agree with them in politics. If they are wrong, criticise them in a ^instructive way. If they are corrupt or evil minded, condemn them as severely as can possibly be done.” Chief Indian Summer Cloudy and Colder Saturday's Foreeast Is Ready to Leave Chief Indian Summer is almost ready to pack up and go. Ills phe nomenal return I to Omaha yesterday is only one of a series of vain though desperate attempts to keep the sea sonal calendar wondering what the world is coming to. This, in sub stance. is the opinion of officials at the weather bureau. “Mostly’ cloudy Saturday and colder" was the offi cial forecast given out yesterday by M. V. Robins, meteorologist. Snowstorms were reported yester day in northern Montana, northwest ern Wyoming, and eastern Oregon. But a storm of quite a different sort was in store for inhabitants of Chey enne, where at 7 a. m. an 80-mile an-hour wind treated the houses and everything else to a coating of dust. Rain fell along the northern Pa cific coast and in the eastern states. Zero yveather continued at Canadian stations. Edmonton and Prince Al bert both registered 8 below zero at 7 a. m. In the United States, Moor head, Minn., sprang into prominence with the lowest temperature of 8 be low. Other temperatures were 24 above at Valentine and 20 at North Platte. In Omaha, the mercury started out at 7 a. m. to live right up to pre dictions of “colder." But with the changing of the wind, the mercury commenced to rise. At 3 the temper ature was 49, Nebraska News Nubbins PLATTSMOUTH—So greatly lias the ferry business increased in the past year that John Richardson, who operates the Missouri river ferry, has let the contract for a new ferry boat capable of handling 10 cars at a trip instead of five, the capacity of the boat heretofore in use. The new boat will be put into use as soon as the ice breaks up in the spring. WVMORE—The bridge over Indian creek on the Comhusker highway, the main thoroughfare to Marysville from Wymore, is being rebuilt and the double curve at Its approaches is being straightened out. PLATTSMOUTH—One of the larg est feeders of sheep In this part of the country are the Warga Brothers, who are feeding 1,500 on their farm south of this city. The lambs were all bought on the Omaha market, and after several weeks feeding are ship ped back to that city. PLATTSMOUTH—Employes of the Burlington shops, with the exception of the coach shop numbering several hundred men. are having a 10-day vacation, extending from the Satur day heforo Christmas, until Wednes day, January 2. Slack business In all lines but coach repair work is glvpn by the railroad company as the reason for this enforced layoff. COLUMBUS—Central and northern Nebraska cattlemen are dropping cat tle for sheep, according to breeders attending sales from those sections who declare the purebred beef stock market is temporarily glutted as the sale of cattle herds progresses. Pre dictions are made by stockmen that sheep herds will be found in great numbers this winter because market ! prices are enabling the buyers to pick up good animals at a minimum cost. PL.ATTSMOUTH—K. M. Pollard, of Nehawka. one of the largest and most successful growers of fine apples in Nebraska, has shipped 16 carloads of fruit this full, each car containing about 500 bushels. In addition he sold some 1,500 bushels at the orchard and had over 1.000 bushels left for use In making cider,. To Cure u fold In One lluv.
