Myers for County Attorney.
Edwin L \ Myera is being men
tioned as a candidate for the
Republican nominal ! > n as County
Attorney and , we understand , is
conferring with his friends as to
advisability of filng for the
place. Mr. Myers is one of the
rising generation of men who
were born and raised in Custer
county. He is a graduate of the
Broken Bow High School , the
State University and took his
law work at the Harvard Law
School. This position is one
usually held by the younger
members of the bar. Mr. Myers
has prepared himself well for
Huch work by his college train
ing and by the partnership he
fprmed with JEx-Governor Silas
A. Holcomb. which was but re
cently terminated. He is a man
of strength and ability and
should give the county efficient
service if he decides to run and
the people choose to elect him.
There Will be no Dearth of Political
Candidates.
Last week when W. H. Hitch
cock Publisher of the World
Herald announced himself as
candidate for United States
Senator on the democratic tick
et it was general supposed that
as his announcuicnt would put a
quietus on the possibilities of W.
J.- Bryan and W. H. Thompson
Mr. Hitchcock would have a clear
field. But such docs not seem to
In- his lot. W. B. Price of Lin
coln who does not drink out of
the same canter of the Omaha
democrats announces himscl :
democrat and populist candidate
on the Bryan platform.
The candidacy of Mayor
Dahlman of Omaha for governor
and congressman W. H Hitch
cock of the World fjera f °
United States Senator has forced
the county option issue to the
front in the democratic ranks.
W. H. Prices announcement
that he will be , a democratic am
populist candate for Unite <
States Senator , subject , only to
the possible candidacy of Wl J.
Bryan is an indication if not a
direct imitation that the Lin
coin Bryanites will not submit
to the Dahlman and Hitchcock
plan of mixing their drinks for
them this year.
Speaker Cannon Deprived of Power.
The fight that has been a
matter of general discussion no
only in the House of Congress
Imt through out the land for the
past two years met its culmina
tion Saturday , succeeding a con
tinuous session of twenty four
hours Friday previous.
The termination of the conten
tion was effected upon the mo
tion of Congressman Norris of
Nebraska which provided for
reorganization of the committee
on rules of six republicans and
four democrats , omitting the
speaker from the committee.
The motion carried by a vote
of 182 to 160.
Jt was only through the united
support of the democrats that
tiic insurgents were able to win.
The prime object of the demo
crats was to aid in widening the
breech in the republican ranks ,
from which they.hoped to secure j
political guin.
In this they were disappointed
in their first move. Oi a motion
by Uurleson of'lVxisto declare
the office of Speaker vacant with
the view of placing Champ Clark
in the chair , a signal defeat was
scored. Although Sp.-akur Can
non invited the motion the insur
gent republicans fell in line with
the regulars and defeated the mo
tion with a greater m j irity then
they had carried the motion for
removing the Speaker from the
committee on rules.
Speaker Cannon is a man of
recognized ability by both friends
and opponents. In his position
he wcilded a power so great that
all legislation was largely con-
troled by him. He is of the
Stone Wall Jackson type and not
disccte in wisdom in cleccrning
the rights of others. He has no
one to blame for his down fall
more than himself. The auto-
ctatic manner in which he cxer
cised his power enganerdcd a
eeling among the members that
wad culminative with years of
coercion , which he augmented
) y personal ostracism df those
who dared oppose him
It was only the loyalty to
? arty that held the majority of
lis own party with him.
As party pledges can only be
enacted in law by the united vote
of its members many feared the
result of revolutionary measures.
In this they were in a measure
justified as no one is worthy of
the support of his party unless
he is true to the principles of his
party that placed him in position
yet this loyalty does not deprive
one of maintaining his personal
convictions or from taking cx-
ception'to means and methods to
accomplish political ends. Yet
in this , one can go to far.
The great danger now is ol
the so called insurgents being
able to realize the seriousness o
their newly attained prominence
They can not expect the as
sistance of their late allies , the
democrats to enact into law the
pledges of tne republican party
neither can they decline to co
operate with the majority ot their
party and impell defeat of ad
ministration measures.
Their constituents will no
condone sulking in camp.
They must now prove them-
seves true to the principles upon
which they were elected and true
to the anministration or make in
their minds to bid adieu to the !
high positions they now hold.
No creature is greater than
his creator nor is it safe for an
individual to assume to be great
er than the party that promote
him.
