Hurt by Wet Support By Mark .Sullivan. Washington, Jan. 21.—McAdoo has just given the Bryan brothers his for inal assurance that in view of his long friendship for them he will not embarrass them by entering his name in the Nebraska primaries. This will have a large effect on McAdoo's political fortunes, and some developments arising out of it will emerge shortly. To understand the . national significance of this event, it is necessary first to understand its local significance in Nebraska. in Nebraska there are two demo cratic factions. One is led by ex Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock and For mer National Committeeman Arthur-' Mullen. The other is the Bryan fac tion and tlie leader of It now is W. J. Bryan’s brother, Charles W„ who is the present governor. Shakes Off Mullen. • The Hitchcock Mullen faction has lately been airnins to lead the McAdoo band wagon In Nebraska. McAdoo is popular in the stale, and the faction identified with him would have to that extent an advantage in the local situ ation. Governor Bryan and the Bry an faction have been embarrassed by the fact that their uppopents had ap parently succeeded in identifying their fortunes with McAdoo as the favorite candidate for the*presidential nomin ation. . Now, by Mr. McAdoo's action, all that is off. McAdoo declines to be in tlie position of being an embarrass ment to (he Bryans and an aid to the opposing faction. For this, W. J. Bry m will undoubtedly lie grateful, and hat gratitude will express itself out -•iile the boundaries of Nebraska. May Kblist Itryan .Support. It is difficult to conceive of this ( ■_ sture on the part of McAdoo as ^ _ . itlierwise than meaning that W. J- , Bryan will he at least a silent Slip . porter of McAdoo, and possibly a vocal , i,i:e. At least, it saves McAdoo from , the possibility of Bryan opposing him ( for the nomination. At the most, ( Bryan may becomrain active support- ( n of McAdoo. From now on. Bryan ( may lie expected to fight Underwood , vigorously, nnd fur Bryan to flight ^ to help MoAdo. Moreover, it he comes certain that after the nomlna 4 t on. If McAdoo gets it. he will have ] the hearty support of Bryan In the tr.miaign. Bryan will not hang I,nek as be did in the case of Cox in 1920- And whether Bryan is active or reluctant oi Ids supimrt of a democratic candl- ' 'date for the presidency makes a good deal of difference In the electoral vote j west of the Mississippi. After Cox was " nominated at San Francisco in 1920. Bryan gave out a picturesque Inter view. In which he said: “My heart.Is . in the grave." Whereupon a goo3 many democrats west of flip Missis sippi said that if the heart of Wil liam .1. llryan was in the grave, the hopes or .lames M. Cox might as well he In the same hole. The result was that Cox got fewer democratic votes west of the Mississippi than any other candidate withiri the memory of man. In Natural Alignment. McAdoo lias done extremely well • for himself by making himself solid with the Bryans. The tieup is very easy for Bryan to accept. It is well enough for William .1. Bryan, where he Is in running to be a delegate from his new state of Florida, to ronie out ^fnr a, let us say, not very well | known college professor in that state j as a. candidate for the democratic j presidential nomination. But the fact j is that among the serious contenders, McAdoo Is far closer to Bryan's prin ciples than any other. McAdoo, like Bryan. Is real “dry " McAdoo is a, 100 per delft dry, both as a. matter of political principle and also as a personal practice, which latter doesn't always foljow In the rase of all |xili Brians. McAdoo really believes in prohibition. This present Incident Is n proof lpat the McAdoo campaign is being much better managed than four years ago. The fact is the fight between McAdoo and his opponents is as evenly balanced and as expertly fought as any fight we have seen In recent years, .lust at this moment , It Is in the position of a tight tug-of ' war at perfect equilibrium.

POWEIX, Washington Correspondent The Omaha Bee. Washington, .Ian. 21.—The message of%the plight of the middle western wheat farmer ns set out In the special wheat growers edition of The Omaha Bee was carried to the White House and to the floor of congress today. A full page of the congressional directory was filled with a speech made by Congressman William Williamson of SoutH Dakota, author of the wheat tariff bill. The speech was a repetition of facts and figures presented In The Bee's edition In support of a higher duty on wheat to protect the American wheat grower from the lower IransjtortaUon rates and lower pro duction cost of Canadian wheat. For a week 1 have been compiling information to make an appeal to this body for support of a higher wheat duty, and I find that in The Omaha .Sunday Fee the facts and figures complied as well or better than I have them, and my address will he The Omaha Bee's arguments almost exclusively," Congressman William son said while making his address for the wheat tariff. In the morning. Congressman W. R. Green of -Council Bluffs, chair man of the ways and means commit tee, called at the White House for a conference with the president, armed himself with facts as outlined in The Bee's special edition, la addition to discussing tax revision measures, with which his committee Is now dealing, he presented the farmers’ demand for relief through a higher duty to the president. "I .found the president intensely interested in the farmers’ problems and extraordinarily anxious to ex pedite in very lawful manner the investigation by the tariff commis sion of Canadian and American wheat production costs, as urged upon him by The Omaha Bee two months ago." Congressman Green said. "These facts concerning the unfair advantage In Canadian rail rates to water outlets are intensely valuable in Washington. It was only yester day that 1 told a fellow congressman that the American farmer was strug gling. not only against lower produc tion cost in Canada, but also against lower freight rates for hauling grain and he told me there was absolutely nothing to it. He asked me for fig ures to prove it, and I didn't have them. I will introduce that part of The Bee's edition dealing with rail costs in the two countries to our in terstate commerce committee as a part of the committee record." Another object of Congressman Green’s visit to the White House was to bear to the president conference views with reference to the tax Mil. Vhe Iowa congressman did not state tvhat message he bore from the con ference. hut it is believed it was, to the effect that there should be a compromise on surtax rates. While ongressniMn Green is known to favor the bonus, he declined to state wltether it was discussed with the president or not. Edgar Howard Urges Bryan for President by P. l\ POWKI.I. It asliington Correspondent The Omaha Bee. Washington, .Ian. 21.—A plea, close tf resembling a demand, has been Is-1 cCM by Congressman Edgar Howard pf Columbus, that Gov. Charles W. Bryan file for the presidential prl nary vote In Nebraska. A statement by Howard to this effect" was given out shortly after the Nebraska gov ernor left Washington. According Is views entertained and expressed openly by Howard, a filing by the governor for re-election or for the senate is far less important to the people* of the nation anil state than iiis tiling for the preferential presl lentlal vote In Nebraska. At the same time Howard slates emphatically thut bis first choice is William .1, Bryan, hut with the latter's flat footed de nial of presidential aspirations this season, Howard has turned to "Broth er Charley." "While the governor was here 1 pleaded with him to file for the pres Idcntlat preference primary vote in Nebraska, hut without success," Mr. Howard said. *T shall he hoping that* the democrats of Nebraska will Join multitudes of democrats In other stales In requesting Governor Bryan to file f >r the presidential vote of his home slate. "I think it is more important lhat lie shall make such a filing than (list he should file as a candidate for gov rrnor or United States senator. He has made good In the office as gov ernor. arid he would make good In the United Slates senate, but there is more than a fair chance to place him In the presidential chair, and that chance should not lie overlooked by Nebraska democrats." 21 Diyn of Below Zero, Weather at Beatrice, Neb.

Washington, .Ian. 21.—The scandal which has been hovering over for mer Secretary of the Interior Fall's lease of the Teapot Home oil reserve to the Sinclair Interests broke today before the senate Investigation com mittee in an amazing manner when Archie Roosevelt, son of the late pres ident and brother of Assistant Secre tary of the Navy Theodore Kooae velt, told the committee that1 he re signed his connection with the Sin clair company because he was con vinced the lease was corruptly ob tained. Ho was followed on the witness stand by CJ. U. Walberg, Harry Sin clairs rlghlhand confidential man. who told the committee he intended to forward his resignation from the Sinclair concern tonight, "because he could not longer be happy in Sin dair's employment.” Assistant decretory Roosevelt tes tified that he had advised his brother to resign from the Sinclair company after Archie had told him of a con versation with Walberg, in which the latter had advised the same thing. He told the committee, that he brought his brother to testify to cir cumstance* revealed in that conver sation, which Involved the charge that $68,000 had been paid by Sin clair to Secretary Fall's ranch fore man. Archie Roosevelt testified that Wal berg told him he *«d seen canceled checks for that amount. Sinclair sailed several day* ago for Europe.

Limit Put on Federal Aid to States President Coolidge, in Budget Message, Expresses Desire to Get Away From In creasing Subsidies. He Praises Fiscal System Washington, Jan. 21.— President Coolidge added two new planks to the administration's platform* of gov ernmental economy today In an ad dress at the semi-annual meeting of federal executive officers comprising llie government's business organiza tion. He will permit no expansion here after of the system of federal sub sidles to state governments and will countenance no incurring of obliga tions by federal agencies in excess of their annual appropriations except in extreme circumstances. He told the thousand or more of ficials that to increase the tax burden was to disregard the general welfare and held up tax reduction as the means of enlarging "the reward of every one who toils." "The budget lias been a success,” Mr. Coolidge said, "l’ou have demon strated that there can be and Is, a business organization of the govern ment. With the easing of conditions, the time is at hand when we shall decide whether a business administra tion is to continue or whether our government is to lapse into the old unbusinesslike and wasteful extrava gance. .

To 'increase that burden Is to disregard the general welfare. Through constructive econ omy, to decrease taxes Is to enlarge tile reward of every one who toils. say to you frankly that except where specifically authorized by law. I will not countenance the Incurring of obligations in excess of these ap propriations. I itm equally frank in saying to you that I do not look with favor upon the practice of asking for additional funds for the year in progress. "I take this occasion to state that I have given much tfiought to the 1 question of federal subsidies of state governments. The federal appropria tlns for such subsidies cover a wide field. They afford ample precedent for unlimited expansion. T say to you. However, that the financial program of the chief executive does not con template expansion of these sub sidies. My policy in this matter Is not predicated alone On the drain 1 which these subsidies make on the na tional treasury.

M’Donald to Be in Power n.v l liMml Service. London, Jan. 21.—The house of commons voted the downfall of the Baldwin cabinet by a vote of 32S to 256, at 11 o'clock tonight. The vote came on the labor party * amendment to the message from the throne delivered by the king at the stute opening of parliament. As has been well understood since the announcement by former Premier Asquith tha* the united liberals would not take part In any movement to prolong the life of the tory cabinet headed by Stanley Baldwin, the gov ernment was doomed on the labor demand for a vote of lack of confi dence. It is now settled that King George will send for Ramsay MacDonald and invite him to form the first labor cabinet ever to rule in Britain. It will probably be two weeks be fore the new government will be fully organized and functioning. Mean while, Premier Baldwin will retain control. Hr Associated Tress. London.
