LINCOLN', Jan. 13. (Special. )-True to
his promise that the public had not yet
heard the last of the myelin of the self
styled Insurgents,. Paul Clark, graduate
of the Burlington school of Insurgency, re
ported bright and early this morning to
Frank Harrison for further orders., The
former speaker of the house of representa
tives In the old machine days went to Har
rison's book store without waiting for Har
rison to report to him. an was the custom
In the old days. . ' '
The two are getting frantically busy for
the meeting net for next Thursday, for
that meeting will afford Paul Clark An
opportunity to get In the limelight, such
us has not been offered since he raised
the row over the placing of a Taft banner
over O street during the late presidential
campaign.
In passing, good republicans are wonder
ing whether the Rryanlxed Mlssourlan who
Is at the head of the D. E. Thompson
paper here la Insurglng' "yet or again" by
understanding with the democratic state
committee.
According to the officials of the demo
cratlc state committee, a Star represents
tlve signed a contract with the democratic
state committee to print such matter as
the committee would supply In the Interest
of the democratic party candidates during
the campaign of 1908. This statement cn
the part of officials of the democratic state
committee was verified by the then man
aging editor of the Star.
And Here's 'Bill" Clark.
In Its efforts to discredit the administra
tion the Star not only has the aid and
assistance of those old progressives, John
C. Fremont McKesson and Paul Clark, but
of "Rill" Clarke, hlmself-"HIH" Clarke,
who lost his Job looking after the mail
sacks at the postofflce.
The meeting next Thursday will afford
"Bill" Clarke an opportunity to break Into
the limelight such as Jje bas not had since
he proposed "Three cheers for Jake Wolfe
at a Bryan meeting a few years ago.
Aa for McKesson, his friends expect him
to give a good account of himself, for it
bas been a long time alcne he was a mana
ger of the politics of this end of the state,
But when he was on thn Job he worked It
hard, all right.
, Why Bud Llndsey was left out when the
meeting was held has not ben explained
for he Is one of the rankest Insurgents of
litem all, though a recent remark of his
might have caused him to be barred. I.lnd
sey and a number of persons were discuss
lug the action of Mr. Thompson's paper In
fighting Senator Burkett when he turned
to a representative of the paper and said:-
'Well, I thought I was going to get to
fight Burkett this year, but If you fellows
keep jumping on him you will force all us
dicent fellows to be for him."
