euphcr, William 3. Bryan, the PcerleM, If
twice vanquished lender, in this stato
mcnt of why, how and when:
The puhtman - Democracy started' the
trouble. They Instated upon taking two
and giving' 114. una, and then attempted to
dictate whom that one should be. We Old
not Care anything bovtt the personnel of
the proposed delegates, only Insofar as they
might stand for Ijfthlmanlam. We felt that
Air. Hayden did not aland for this Id any
sense. ' l was different, however, with
Rogers, He T as regarded as a "dyid In
the wool" disciple of thn peculiar cult, and
It w:ih thought that his selection would
Indicate tin endorsement. In some degree,
of tlie unuVmncratlc policy which Dahlman
Ism represent!;. Imhlmanlam Is the epitome
of thai policy which Is willing to adopt
any meaim, no matter what they may be.
If they only promine success. It stood and
stands today for an open and unblushing
dlsohedlenju of law; and It regards tine
swaggering cowboy of the frontier as 'an
Ideal cltlxcn.
How teold It Bet
To fight this we Old not think could pos
sibly be construed Into an attack on Mr.
Uryan or his policy,, especially In view of
the fact that many of OS have been with
Mr. Uryan in eveiy liattle which he has
fought, Inside and outside of the party,
for the laat eighteen years. We thought
we could make the ground of our oppoxi
tion to Dalilmanlmn, so clear that every
one would see what the Issue waa. Hut as
time went on il begun to develop thut an
elfort was being uiadu by the enemies of
Jir. Uryan to construe tue contest as In
volving something crttuir openly or se
cretly unlriendly to Mr..' Bryan. Kuatern
papers said that there. va a fight bn
within tho deinmialic party In Mr. liryan s
home state. Only yesierday a Sioux City
paper, In larg headlines, declared that
there was n sviious- ojipotitkm In Omaha
to Mr. liryan. .
In view of this ' the Jacksonlans con
cluded that possibly the contest might re
sult in giving hope to Mr. Bryan's enemlea
in other slates, and Uils,' of course, was
the very last thing which any of the Jack
sonlans -desired, as a result, placing- our
loyalty to Mr., ill y an and his cause, tor
which we have always stood far beyond
any local differences, and feeling that the
time would come In the near future when
the unsound and obnoxious policy of Dahl
manlsni could be put to the test without
Injury to Mr. br.Van or his cause, we con
cluded to sink our differences In the wel
fare of our party and consequently to
compromise the differences that existed
between the two organizationa.
Tie arret I.oalna: Mr. Harden.
We. regret exceedingly that Mr. Hayden
could not be one of the delegates. We
know that lie was seleuted by the Dahlman
democracy, not because they regarded him
as a representative of theirs, for
he was not, but because they
thought they could use his name to
give some degree or respectability to their
cause. The ease with which they awung
away from him when the time came shows
this. Ir. McCrann was suggested by our
club. He was our South Omaha choice "In
case of a fight. Wt had seen him and cm
aulted him long before Ids name was men
tioned In the conference. He Is, I under
stand, a member of. our club, but I am not
sure of this.
By the compromise, we get Dr. McCrann
ana Mr. uunn, and they take Mr. Kogera.
we only regret that this settlement In
volves, even in the least, a compromise
with Pahlmanlsm, but we are wilUng that
this should be so, In order that nothing
nijr rust in mis state wnicn ooulrt ny any
possible construction be need against Mr.
Bryan,
BOTH CAMPS HOIST TUTS FLAGS
Jims and Jacks Make Show mt Get
tlnar Together.
Two white flags went up together last
night, one a fine pleca of white silk at
Seventeenth and Farnaro streets; the other
a frayed cotton cloth, still bearing the
traces of the "XXXX" usually seen on
flour sacks, at Fifteenth and Farnam
streets.
The Jacks and Jims both surrendered
shortly before midnight.
George Rogers of the Dahlman Democracy.-
Dr. William McCrann of South
Omaha, once agreed upon by both demo
cratic clubs, will be the democratic district
delegates, with Ig. Jehovah Dunn of the
Jacksonlans as delegate at large, Joseph
Hayden positively declining to act.
There Is rone opportunity to start tha
guns to roaring again. The Dahlman
Democracy meeta tonight, and the privates
In the ranks may have shouldered arras
for good, and refuse to abide by the de
cision of the leaders, after declaring that
hey were out after scalps.
But tha compromise was only made pos
lbl by the withdrawal of Joseph Hayden,
who had been glvoi a place on the ticket
which Dahlman w.a to carry to the pri
mary. Tha leaders of the Jims say that
If Mr. Hayden had stayed In nothing in the
world which the Jacksonlans could have
dona would have saved thetn from being
"eateo alive." v - -
It was only an accident that a Dahlman
meeting was held lust evening. It waa
called at tha Instigation of H. e. New
branch, political editor of Congressman
Hitchcock's paper, who saw a turndown In
tha way the Dahlman Democracy dodged
Mr. Hitchcock's name when it was sub
mitted to tha Jims Saturday night for ap
proval as one of the delegates to yie na
tional democratic convention. The Dahl
man democrats almply sent back a counter
proposition. In which the congressman
editor did not figure.
Newbranch wanted to know Just how tha

USED THE WOULD
f
rahlman democrats felt about hla chief,
ana a handful of Mayor Jlm'a followers
was summoned by telephone to gather and
say "hurrah" at least for the congress
man.
Mr. Newbranch represented that he had
a letter from Mr. Hitchcock In which the
congressman positively declined to go as a
delegate to the national convention. The
Jims refused to elect a man who would
not go, but a friend cf the congressman
auggested that It certainly looked bad for
Mr. Hitchcock not to offer Mm the place,
and L. J. TePoel offered the "hurrah"
motion. He moved that It waa the sense
of the meeting that If It was not known
that the congressman would not go as a
delegate, the Dahlmarr club would endorsj
him as one of the three to attend the con
vention In Denver.
This satlaflfd Mr. Newbranch. and he
went to the rooms of the Jacksonlans,
where ha repeated his talk. Ed r. Berry
man said the Jacksonlans gave Mr
Newbranch an opportunity to present Ms
cas and assured him that the Jar.hson.
lans were ready to pass a "hurrah" motion
for Mr. Hitchcock moat any time. .
After hearing the Dahlman Democracy
say "hurrah," and likewise "hurahee." fop
Mr. Hitchcock, Mr. Newbranch auggested
that the Jacksonlans be allowed to fill the
vacancy left by the resignation of Mr
Haydcn, on the Dahlman ticket. Chairman
Kogers tooic me suggestion up and wanted
to knew If It would be agreeable to an.
point a committee to visit the Jacksonlans.
and Inform them that they could name the
delegate-at-large. It they would accept
Rogers and McCrann.
Roarers Starts fntethlnar.
The moment Rogers made the suggestion,
he realized he had cannon to the right of
him and cannon to the left of him:
"Nothing mete to do with that bunch up
the hill," came from eighteen of the
twenty Jims present
"Let them come down here If they watit
anything."
V'Wo've got more good democrats to take
Mr. Ilaydcn's place."
And It wag evident that the Tuesday
night meeting would reject such a propo
sition. Before another motion could be
made Mayor Dnlilmin moved that the meet
ing adjourn.
Two hours later the mayor and a few of
his lieutenants were amusing themselves
at fox and geese In the back room of the
club rooms. There was a heavv tread on
the stalre. Every heart beat of the Dahl
man officers felt like a drum beat.. A small,
soon man wnn wnite hair and an anxious
look stepped In. It was Ed P. Berryman.
He had the proposition to place Ig. Dunn on
the delegation and accept McCrann and
Rogora. Leadera of the Jims were sum
moned. They came as rapidly as possible
and, ahortly before midnight, the leaders
agreed to recommend that the proposition
of the Jacksonlans be accepted, when the
strength of Dahlman Democracy will met
at the rooms of the club.
Mayor Dahlman smiled when the sur-'
render waa made last night. "I want to
thank the republican newspaper of Omaha,"
he said with a sly but sincere look in his
eyes. I really want to thank

ing. The funeral service will be held a',

a runaway accident, which occurred on
the Missouri river bridge Some four years

to be around among her friends and In her
regular places during the four years which

who became Mrs. George E. Prltchett.
She was born In Council Bluffs, la., Janu
ary 11, 1864, and soon afterward the Hans
com family moved to Omaha, where she.
grew to womanhood. Her good works would
make a long list If they were known to her I
friends, but whatever she did she ac
complished In her own way and few knew
of the humanitarian services she rendered.
"Positive In her opinions and usually right,
determined like her father, who feared no
Intellectual tourney," is the tribute which
friends pay Mrs. Harriett O. Prltchett.
She has been closely identified with tha
work of Trinity cathedral and Us auxiliary
societies.
The children of Mr. and Mrs. Prltchett
are: Marguerite, who Is Mrs. John I Ken
nedy; George H., whose home Is In Wyom
ing, and Harold t, yet In college. Her
brother, Duane Hanscom. lives In Cali
fornia, and Virginia C. Hanscom, her only
sister, in New York City.

Mrs. Huvet did not know that her husband
had been sent on and knew not where ho
had gone. She was unable to talk, other
than Russian, and owing to destitute cir
cumstances did not receive the necessary
care for herself and baby, and during this
time no suitable food was given her for
her baby and It became very much weak

our language and her lack of knowledge of
travel It was some time before she was
sent on to York, and within a few days

The legality of the creation by

The point was raised when Mr. Tawney
urged that the house conferees disagree

the commission. Mr. Tawney declared that
he did not question the motives of the chief

Theodore Sutro of New York, president of
the New York frranch (ind former Commhi'
sloner of taxes.
A running exchange of thrusts between
Mr. Sutro and Representative Llttlefleld,
who Is a member of tho Judiciary commit
tee, enlivened the hearing. Among those
In attendance were several members of tl.e
Women's Christian Temperance union and
half a dozen clergymen from as many
Cities.
Mr. Sutro assumed the familiar ground
that "You cannot legislate morality into
the people," and he flung Into Mr. Littln-
fleld's figurative teeth the assertion t';at
Maine, Mr. Llttlef leld's state, exemplified
In a great measure the soundness of the
claim that "prohibition does not prohibit
iimn, saia otr. Liitueileld, do 1 un
derstand your argument to be that morality
cannot be Inculcated upon the people by
legislation? Do you stand on that? An'
swsf me directly, please."
"I stand on that," said Mr. Sutro, "but I
want my meaning understood by this com
mittee. I "
In other words, he wants to fix a lcon-
noie to crawl out or," suggested a volte.
mo,- saia Mr. euiro, "he does not. But
I do not propose to be misunderstood and
taken advantage of. What I stand on is
this: The only way to make temperate

of themselves to be moderate, is to make

misdemeanor, and that is the province of
the state, not of central government. If
the law can say to a man, 'Thou shalt not
take a sip of wlne or beer, or whisky, or
brandy,' It can by the same authority say
to him, Thou shalt not take a mouthful of
mince pie and a tumbler of Ice waterJ
Gentlemen of the committee, overindulg
ence In intoxicants Is not tha only excess
conducive to crime In this country. I give
It aa my firm belief that as many murders
have been committed by dyspeptics made
dyspeptic by mince pje and Ice water as by
men Inflamed Into violence by strong
drink."
When the laughter subsided, Mr. Sutro,
returning to the philosophy that Drohlbl-
tion does not prohibit, delivered this in
quiry: "If prohibition is effective, why.
not so long ago, were many members of
this honorable house of representatives in
the habit of going down stairs Into the
house restaurant and calling for a "cup of
tea" with a large wink In the left eye, and
being served with strong waters? I will
ask the gentleman from Maine, Mr. Llttle
fleld to answer."
Again when the laughter had subsided,
Mr. Llttlefleld said: "Ask the other mem
bers of the committee that. It was before
my time. "
