The Metcalfe letters Is as follows: LINCOLN. Neb., fcpt. 17. lfllQ.-Hon. Chnater H. Aldrlch. David City. Neb.. Dear Sir I intend to give you my support In your candidacy for the office of governor of Nebraska. I have known your opponent. Mr. James C. Dahlman. for more than twenty years and would not Join In any personal disparagement of him. On the contrary I respect him for certain sterling qualities 1 know him to possess. But his nomination was secured through the active and notorious Interference In democratlo primaries of the liquor Interests and he represents, admittedly, everything the liquor Interests dsslre In the way of legislation.- He promisee to approve a Mil re pealing the S o'clock closing law and to veto a county option bill and In every way stands aa the frank, outspoken champion of tha most obnoxious of all the special In terests. It would be difficult to make an issue clearer than the one that lias been forced) upon tU people ! Nebraska through the hold and undisguised edlot of the -liquor trust. It Is a bigger question than 8-o'clock doting and a more Important one than county option. Beside It the personality of candidates sink Into Insignificance. "Shall "the people of Nebraska surrender political power Into the keeping of- the- liquor trust; shall the put the stamp of approval upon that trust's executed threat to destroy a governor who dared to go counter to Ha tc ,.:.l23AM1234MlSM6il23 wlshesr That la the Issue aa I under atand It. "I respect every man's opinion on this question, but 1 am unable to see it in any other light than that a vot ror Mr. uam- roan la a vote to deliver Nebraska into tne merciless keeping of an institution that la responsible for too many tears and too much sorrow ta be ntrv!ted with, tha gov ernment of this great state. Aa a democrat who from boyhood days haa served his party, I am reluctant to do anything that ' would even temporarily separate me from party organisation. But the democratic primaries recently held were controlled by republicans, voting un der the leadership of the liquor interests, rather than by democrats; and If we must follow republican leadership then I prefer to choose the sort of republican leader ship I am to have. "In the exercise of this privilege I choose you as my candidate for governor and I am at your service. Tours truly, "RICHARD U M ETCAU'E."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. The second bul letin of the census showing the growth of cities was Issued today. Of the thirty eight cities which lyoo had a population of 100.000 and more, twenty-four are given, and to these are added five which have attained the 100.000 mark during the past decade. The aggregate population of these twenty-nine cities now is U.5W.819, as against 10.3TS.012 In 100 and 7.904.140 In 10. The absolute growth between 18H0 and 1!(J0 amounted to 8.471,872, between 1H00 and 1910 to S.230.W7. The precentages of Increase for this ag gregate population show very little change In the rate of growth during the two decades, being for the earlier one 31! per cent and for the later SI per cent. The fact la noted that the high rate of Increase is not confined to any one geographical section. Of the seven cities whose rate exceeded 40 per cent, two. Newark. N, J., and Bridge port. Conn., are eastern; one, Atlanta, Is southern; and four, Detroit, Denver, Kan sas City and Columbus, are western. Of the two cities with the lowest rate, one Is eastern and the other Is western. Remarking upon the facta piesenled the bulletin says: "The rates of Increase for Atlanta. De troit Denver and Kansas City must be re garded as phenomenally . high, but even mere extraordinary Is the high percentage for New York, which exceed Ihe average for twenty-eight cities' in th .ftoup by 114 per cent, and la Itself exceeded only by the rates of seven cities. The New York City rate, moreover, has been maintained at Its present high point for two decades, and may therefore be regarded as a normal rate for that city," Fifty-four cities of between 25,000 and 100.000 -are given, showing an aggregate population of 2.723.40. aa against 1.901.7S In 1 1900, a gain of 43.2 per cent, a rate of I growth which the 'census bureau pro nounces pnenonienaiiy nigh.

FELLOW SENATORS SIT AS JUDGES Three Republicans and Three Demo crats Constitute the Court. WITNESSES ARE TO BE CALLED Great Latitude Given and Bribery I Charges Will Bs Gone Into. H0LSTLAW IS TO TELL HIS STORY Lee O'Kr-tll Dronsr Has Bee ti tled to Appear aad Tell Ills Mde of tke Story to tke Sis. traslon. Members of the senatorial committee which , will investigate the elections of United I Slates Se nator William luirlmer will be-J gin their set-slons here next Tuesday morn-1 !ng at 10 o'clock in the Congress hotel. I They will go Into the bribery charges much j farther than It is possible to do in a .court trial. The committee Is empowered to summon witnesses and to administer oaths. The evidence given will have as much force and be entitled to the same consideration an in a criminal court. There probably will be more latitude, however. In the ex amination of witnesses. Senator Dorimer will be represented be fore the committee by counsel, but he said today he hadn't determined who his law yers would be. It la understood that former Judge Elbrldge Hanecy. who ap peared In the arguments preliminary to the first trial of Dec O'Neill rirowne, will have charge of the senator's case. Senator J. C. Burrows of Michigan is chairman of the InveHtlgatitig committee and the other members are Senators W. B. Heyburn, Idaho; Robert J. Gamble, South Dakota, and William P. Dillingham, Vermont, republicans, and Senators J. B. Krasler, Tennessee; Johnston, Alabama, and Vaynter, Kentucky, democrats. It Is reported that all the leading mem bers of the bi-partisan combine which elected Mr. Lorlmer have been summoned to appear before ' the committee, and In addition to those, all the democrats who have confessed they were paid for their votes will be called as witnesses. In this hearing the evidence of Senator D. W. Holstlaw will be received, whereas It could not be offered In the Browne trial. Holstlaw says . he was paid J1500 by Senator Broderick . r his vote on the sen atorshtp and Broderick Is under indictment for bribery. That will make four demo cratic members' of the legislature who will testify In support of the charges that cor ruption was used In the election. Another point of Interest will be . the attitude assumed by Lee O'Neill Browne. He did not go on tht stam) as a witness In either bf his trials, but he will be given a chance to tell his side of the story to the senatorial committee, for it Is said lie has been summoned as a -witness. The members of the committee are ex pected to arrive here some time Monday, and It Is believed their hearings will con tinue two weeks or longer.

After Which Mrs. Potter Sasraests ttettlasj Busy. CHICAGO. Sept. 17. (Special Tele gram.) The Chicago Teachers' Federation today refused to act upon a communi cation from the Chicago Federation of Labor, asking Its support in the forma tion of' a national political labor party, because .the platform tentatively pro posed made no reference to woman suf frage. The organization wanted, to know whether the teachers would support a political party made up of labor and so cialist organizations, or If they were In favor of an Independent labor party. "What Is their platform?" asked one of the teachers. When this document waa read and -without a single allusion to woman or woman's suffrage, there was a chorus of exclamations. "Where do we. benefit by this?" asked one young woman. "The Ideal" exclaimed , second. "They want our support, but would fall to give us any recognition." . "Send It back without action," sug gested a third, and this was unanimously agreed upon. The Teachers' Federation, which met this morning In Masonic temple, was ad dressed by Mrs. Frances Suulre Potter, who resigned tiie chair of literature In the University of Minnesota to devote herself t the advancement of the suf frage and equal rights causes. With reference to the suffrage movement, Mrs. Totter said: "It Is time to stop talking and turn to work that la real; but. It you must talk, let It be with some definite aim. What may be considered prophecy on the lips of a seer like the late Susan B. Anthony becomes a rant when voiced In a period of real, systematic organization. "The suffrage movement has passed be yond the propaganda stage, and sensa tional methods of trying to get the ballot will not avail. Get down tu real wurk, organize on rational lines, in districts or precincts, and let the evolution come from within. U t It be educational, and work not alone for suffrage, but fur the general uplift. If you tvlti sucte-a."

The F.nglifh astronomer will be In the limelight of the world next year as one ol the foremopt lnvcs;igalii s of astronomical phenomena, when he heads an expedition to the Friendly Islands. The prlefct will have a large party in his charge to observe (he total eclipse of the sun in April. The omnia, or ecllise. will be a mere Incl di nt of but three and one-half minutes duration, but it Is deemed of such impor tance that the liiitlsh government will send the astronomer half way 'round the world to see It. His party will make the trip on a British warship, and will take actual ob servation, with photographs, on the island of Vavau of the Friendly group. Vavau is the only point at which a full view of the phenomena can be had, as the Island lies directly In the path of the forthcoming shsdow.

Sept. 17-Theodore Roosevelt returned to the defense of his new nationalism today, as was specifically (Indicated in the title o- '' address at the state fair here. "Th New Nationalism and the Old .Morality." "The new nationalism," he reiterated, "moans nothing but an application to new conditions of certain old and fundamental mortalities. It means an Invitation to meet the new problems of the present day In precisely the same spirit In which Lincoln and the men of their day met the new pioblems." To his critics, he put this Issue.

The speaker fol-jwcd with a Justification of his attacks on the supreme court of the l nlted Italia, lie chose two argu mentsone. that in his criticisms he had nieiely echoed the minority opinions of the court itscll, the other tr.at he had il niMrlous piecedi'iit, namely Uie example of Abraham Lincoln, who, he said, had betn far more outspaken than he himself had ever been, and the example of Presi dent Tuft from whose utterances fifteen years ago In tavor of public criticism of the courts he quoted. "Take for instance," lie continued, "what I said In reference to two decisions of lbs supreme court. One decision was in tha Knight sugar case in which, acordlng to ttie dissenting opinion of Justice Harlan, the 'Judgment 0f tne cuurt placed the pub lic, 'so far as national power Is concerned (the only power which could be effective) entirely at the mercy of the combinations which arbitrarily control the prices of articles purchased to be transported trulu one stale to another state' "I merely took the vie which the learned Justice had taken in his dissenting opinion.

It not, let them cease their irltleis.n." The other case mentioned was one pro hibiting New York state to regulate hours of work In bake shops: and again, tha speaker said, he had based his criticism on a dissenting opinion within the court Itself. Ksanapl of Lincoln. "Fifty-three years ago." he continued. "Abraham Lincoln was assailed for his re peated criticisms of the supreme court In the tired Scott case. As regards this de cision, he announced, not once, but again and again, that he held It to be not merely the right but the duty of citizens, who felt that Judicial decisions were erroneous and damaging, loyally to abide by the de cisions aa long as 'hey stood, but to try hard to secure their reversal ( his language on one occasion being as follows: " 'We do not pioxse to disturb the rights of property thu settled. We pro pose, so resisting the decision as to have it reversed if we cun. and a new Judicial rule established umn the subject.' "He repeated this statement In slight) differing language in seech after rpeech. Moreover, he used very strong language about the decision, far stronger than I I dream of using or than it would be proper to use about the decisions with which I now deal. But his view as to his right and duty to call attention to an erroneous de cision which vitally affected tho lights oC the people, was, 1 think, entirely sound. At any rate. If I have erred In commenting; as I have commented niton the decisions In question. 1 err In company with Abra ham Lincoln. The criticism of me Is per haps well summed in the following speech cf an eminent public man: . " 'He makes war on the decisions of tho supreme court, i wish to say to you. fel low citizens, that I have no war lo mako on that decision, or any other ever retv dered by the supreme court. I am content to take that decision It Hands, d lUertd by the highest Judicial tribunal on cart It, a tribunal established by the rontdtutlon of the Vnlted states for that purpose, and hence that decision becomes the la v of th land, binding on you, on me, and on every other good citizen, whether we litis It or not.
