PAGE FOUR PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1941. GILBERT M. a story of two By ROBERT FOSTER (Ph. D., History) (Reprinted from University of Colorado Studies, Vol. 26, No. 3; Boulder, Colorado, November, 1940.) A biography of Gilbert M. Hitch cock involves a narrative of the emer gence and development of two careers. In the first of these he was a newspaper publisher and founded the Omaha Evening World in Omaha, Nebraska, in the summer of 18S5. Four years later he purchased the long-established Democratic organ, The Herald. After passing through a crucible of financial hardship in the 1890's the World-Herald became an increasingly powerful factor in Nebraska journalism and politics after 1900, and from it Mr. Hitch cock amassed a fortune. In his second career, Mr. Hitch cock became a leader in the Demo cratic party in Nebraska and served the state for six years in the House of Representatives and twelve in the United States Senate. Like his father before him, Mr. Hitchcock began his political life as a Republican. But the tariff views of G rover Cleveland and William Jennings Bryan's pana ceas for the grievances of the west caused Mr. Hitchcock to desert his Republican background between 1SS8 and 1892. The World-Herald rendered yeo man service in advertising Mr. Bryan as the savior of the West, and his brief period of service as editor of Mr. Hitchcock's newspaper was valu able to both of them. The World Herald gained in circulation and prestige, and Mr. Bryan's name was kept prominently in the headlines. But as Bryan and Hitchcock became increasingly active in Nebraska Democratic circles, a clash of ambi tions was inevitable. When Mr. Bryan prevented Mr. Hitchcock be ing appointed to the United States Senate in 1899, a cleavage developed that was never healed. Though the World-Herald continued to support Bryan in 1900 and 190S, it was evi dent that factionalism had developed in Nebraska democracy with the "Great Commoner" leading one group and Mr. Hitchcock the other. In 1910 Mr. Hitchcock success fully sought popular endorsement in an "Oregon Plana" referendum for a scat in the United -States Senate. The state legislature recognized this unofficial popular vote as binding and elected him to succeed Elmer J. Burkett in 1911. He thus not only became Nebraska's first Democratic Senator but the first to bo chosen after an expression of popular will. He was re-elected in 1916 but was defeated by R. B. Howell in 1922. Near the close of his life he twice sought to re-enter the Senate. In 1930 he tried unsuccessfully to de feat George W. Norris and in 1933 he failed to obtain an appointment from Governor Charles W. Bryan as successor to Senator Howell, who died early in that year. Senator Hitchaock's greatest op portunity for senatorial achievement came in his leadership of President Wilson's fight for the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 and 1920. In this bitter partisan struggle he was opposed by Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, one of the most astute and cunning politicians in the history of the Senate. Be cause Senator Hitchcock believed in the League of Nations as promising a new order of world peace and un derstanding he stayed with Wilson to the bitter and dismal end of that wearisome struggle. The victory of Lodge and his "battalion of death" robbed him of the lasting fame which he would have gathered round the name of the man who led the forces which were fighting for ratification.

It is better to rely on medicine that has won world wide ac claim than on something less favorably known. Ask yaur neighbor! mmmm HITCHCOCK careers PATTERSON that he was a Democrat of the Jeffer sonian tradition. He was a party man; yet in his legislative career he exhibited, on occasions, independence of judgment and action regardless of the position of his party. A study of his life is significant because it traces the career of a public character over a life-span of three quarters of a century that stretched from frontier Nebraska and Populism to the "honeymoon" years of the New Deal. Into the pattern of hi3 life is woven much of the political and journalistic history of the state. Senator Hitchcock's life marked the transformation of Nebraska from a rough, frontier state to the modern economy of the nineteen thirties. It portrays the changing standards of Nebraska journalism from the parti san frontier sheet to the World Herald of today with all its modern facilities. In politics Senator Hitchcock's career developed against the colorful and calorific background of the ideals of the crude era of the old conven tion and the domination of strong and sinister interests. His activity as a party advocate and candidate is inseparably intertwined with the po- R. FV Patterson litical history of the state for a half century. In addition, the develop ment of Senator Hitchcock's political aspirations and the growth of the World-Herald portray the long feud between the Hitchcock family and Edward Rosewater, founder of the Omaha Bee. In politics this study tracts the history of the Democratic party in Nebraska and the feud be tween the Hitchcock-Mullen and the Bryan factions. Furthermore, the close connection between the poli tical careers of Senator Hitchcock and William Jennings Bryan makes necessary an appraisal of the "Peer less Leader" wherein Mr. Bryan be comes something more than a pious preacher of religious, moral, and eco nomic crusades. As a result, he emerges also as a grasping and de signing politician who crusaded the more zealously after he had first counted the votes that might gain for him the ultimate realization of his consuming ambition to be presi dent of the United States. Finally, this study attempts to throw light on the relationship be tween Senator Hitchcock and Presi dent Wilson during the hectic days of the treaty fisht. It indicates the handicaps under which Senator Hitchcock labored in his efforts to load the President's fight at a time when Wilson was ill and unyielding and when partisan animosity ran high. Senator Hitchcock's name will not be enrolled on the scroll of the na tion's immortals. But no account of the first seventy-five vears of Ne braska history can be written with out doing full justice to his career and the growth and influence of his newspaper, the World-Herald. 1)0?i'T BE BOSSED BY YOUR LAXATIVE-RELIEVE CONSTIPATION THIS MODERN WAY When you feel gassy, headachy, logy due to cloRged-up bowels, do as million do take Feen-A-Mint at bedtime.
