FATE INSIDE WEEK
(Continued From Paco One.)
row and Clarence 8. Darrow, chief
couneel for the defense, said that the
defense would rest before adjourn
ment. He added that the defense had
not more than three or four additional
witnesses to offer. They will include
Allen Loeb and Foreman Leopold,
brothers, respectively, of Richard and
Nathan.
Several Days Longer.
The state has a list of approximate
ly fifty rebuttal witnesses, Including
four alienists.
The hearing will require at least
the remainder of this week, accord

The young defendants found numer

their technical men, for their talents
in their various fields, not in view of
their political beliefs. The wizard
Stelnmetz was understood to have
been a socialist. It is an unjusti
fiable Inference that your views on
matters of public concern approxi
mate those of your employers or that
called to high public office you would,
upon any consideration, accommo
date your own to theirs or grant them
aught beyond Justice. You owe them
nothing, not even gratitude. You
gave them service. They paid you.
Your powerful clients never discov
ered you until your fame as a law
yer was firmly established, until your
pre-eminence at the bar was nation
ally and internationally recognized. I
am sure your gratitude is reserved
for those humble friends who took a
chance on you when you were a strip
ling at the law, eager to demonstrate
your ability, yet unproved.”
Fays Respects to Lawyers.
The senator then paid his respects
to other lawyers, "whose employment
unfits them for public service.” Of
them he said;
“Among that class there are some
who never had any clients except great
Industrial or transportation corpora
tions, or at least the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary. They
never enjoyed the distinction of rep
resenting or the delight of succeeding
for the under dog. Every problem ever
attacked by them was viewed from
the standpoint of the vested Interests.
I have known some excellent men
who for a generation or more have
represented on a salary a single cor
porate client. It Is inevitable that
lawyers whose field of thought and
action have been so circumscribed
should yield in their intellectual proc
esses to the Influence of their en
vironment, that they should come to
view all public questions, at least
those of concern to their clients, in
harmony with them, that they should
acquire an incorrigible state of mind
with reference to sufch, totally incon
sistent with a comprehensive and Just
view of the Interests of the public at
large.”
The senator then continued his de
fense'by urging that the mind of Mr.
Davis had not been warped in favor
of the "vested Interests." It was at
this point in his speech that many of
his hearers felt he was "damning,”
the candidate with "faint praise.”
Severe criticism was heard when he
uttered the following:
Scoffs at Wall Street Relations.
"The discerning managers of the
gigantia business houses with which
you have been more recently associ
ated were troubled with no apprehen
sion that you had become disquali
fied to represent faithfully their In
l“rests because of your earlier service
against them. Your friends know
that coming back to the service of
your country your mind will be un
warped by any association with those
ith whom, in the pursuit of your
profession, you have meanwhile been
thrown. The interests with which
you have dealt in your professional
i-eer both for the government and
f> r your private clients have been
vast, affording you »n outlook de
nied to the lawyer concerned with the
ordinary controversies engaging the
atiention of the courts. Your profes
sional engagements peculiarly fit you,
they In no sense disqualify you, for
eminent service as president of the
United States.
"The argument that you are a Wall
Street man, in an opprobrious ^sense,
is without merit, as is the assertion
that your nomination Is a Wall Street
nomination. It was effected without
any support from delegations popu
larly believed to be under the influ
ence of Wall Street. It was not until
after your vote had been swelled by
accessions from every section of the
country, particularly from the south
and the west, and your nomination
wad assured, that th* great atates of
New York and Illinois on the final
roll call changed their votes and en
rolled under your standard. Neither
calumny nor overzealous partiaanship
can raise to such heights as to charge
that the convention from which your
credentials come was bossed by any
one.”

Dilemma on Right
of Butler to Run
Secretary of State Must Rule
on Eligibility—Certain
to Offend Some Wing
of Party.
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Lincoln, Aug. 11.—Fate haa handed
Charles W. Pool, secretary of state,
a cruel blow In forcing him to decide
wether or not Dan Butler can be the
progressive candidate for governor.
Pool’s decision must be made Au
gust 14.
Never before In all of Pool’s polit
ical life, and his political life vies
with his years of actual life in length,
has anything so difficult occurred In
advance of an election. It forces
Pool to take a stand, one way or an
other, and that’s something he de
spises above anything else.
Pool loves to be a friend of all the
the people. He Is politically for ev
eryone and _ then, suddenly through
no fault of his own, to be forced to
become an arbitrator in a vicious po
litical fight is to his acute political
mind a calamity little short of death.
If he decides to let Butler run for
governor he offends the Norton wing
of the democratic party and loses its
support. For Norton’s friends look
upon Dan Butuler's candidacy as
sure political death to Norton.
Or, If he rules that Butler cannot
j run he has done as much to offend
the friends of J. J. Thomas, demo
cratic candidate for United States sen.
ator. For Thomas already has the
progressive nomination for United
Statea senator as well as the demo
cratic nomination and, under the Ne
braska law, the combined progressive
and democratic vote is used in calcu
lating the total. And, according to
the opinion of Thomas’ friends, But
ler’s candidacy will carry several
thousand progressive votes with it.
all of which Thomas wants.
That is not all of Pool’s troubles.
He maneuvered during the primary
to obtain the progressive nomination
for secretry of state as well as the
demoncratlo nomination. He wants
the friendship of the progressives as
well as friendship of both the Norton
and Thomas wings of the democratic
party.
The politicians here say that his
decision on August 14 will be an in
dication of his judgment as to
whether the Norton or Thomas wing
of the party is strongest. However,
It may be that before August 14 Pool
will decide he has no business making
a decision on Butler's eligibility and
will pass the huck to a court or some
one else.
There is little doubt that if Pool de
cides Butler is not eligible to the pro
gressive nomination for governor, the
fight will be carried to the court. Thn
politicians here believe that Butler
would not have gone into the fight
if he did not have powerful backing
from some source and did not have it

good Idea as to whether he was
eligible to the nomination.
Pool today made a minor decision
relative to the demand of Roy Har
rop that Henry Ford head the pro
gressive ticket In Nebraska as a can
didate for governor. According to
Pool, the Ford candidacy Is entirely
illegal and so far as he Is concerned
Ford’s name won’t head the progres
sive ballot.
