Conipicnoaa by Their Absence.
The birthday banquet tendered to
Mr. Bryan was a significant gathering,
but, like the platform, which is as
binding for what it omits as for what
It contains, its significance lien as
much In those conspicuous for their
absence as those noticeable by their
presence. The absence from the bsn-
quet board of democracy of many
familiar faces that have year in and
year out worshiped at the shrine of
the distinguished Nebraskan, indicates
that there is something doing behind
the breastworks, and that the prelim
inary skirmish at Grand Island last
summer has serried the ranks and
broken the column, although it has
by no means deprived Mr. Bryan of
followers. In bis official capacity as
sentinel, Edgar Howard, who is a thick
and thin member of the Bryan guard,
last week cried out from the ram
parts:
Today Nebraska lit aa certainly lost to
Bryan, and all for which he stands, as the
first battle of Bull Run was lost to the
unorganised union army. But organization
can win Nebraska for Bryan as certainly
as organization retrieved union losses on
that historic field of war.
The birthday banquet looks like the
first roll call for volunteers In the
fray, but in all probability those who
were missing will not enlist on the
Bryan side.

Now, It will be interesting to see

ity leader when they go to make ap
pointments or map out a program of
house business.

Trying to Break Deadlocks.
Powerful pressure is being brought
to bear from the outside to force New
York and Colorado democrats to break
their senatorial deadlocks and elect
senators before the extra session of
congress convenes. The democratic
party leaders see where they can use
the votes of those two senators to
good advantage. It seems now that
Senator-elect Martlne of New Jersey
may be detained by physical disability.
The party's strongest influence, there
fore. Is being wielded to compel action
by the legislatures in New York and
Colorado.
Although the convening of congress
is now less than two weeks off, so far
as the elements of disagreement in the
two states are concerned, they are ap
parently no nearer harmony now than
they were at the outset and probably
would go on indefinitely as they have
been unless outside powers intervened.
"Boss" Murphy in New York, to be
sure, professes to have assented to the
plan of Sheehan's withdrawing from
the race, but could not get the consent
of Mr. Sheehan and "up-state demo
crats." He pretends, therefore, to
have thrown the matter entirely upon
Mr. Sheehan for decision, which, of
course, will not be taken seriously by
people acquainted with the Tammany
method'of doing business.
And it probably is just as true that
in Colorado, whenever the big inter
ests agreed to support some other
man than Mayor "Bob" Speer of Den
ver, Mr. Speer's candidacy would col
lapse and an election of a senator en
sue. In a sense the national democ
racy is on trial as to the extent of Its
power or Influence. It is knowledge
of this act that is arousing the na
tional leaders even though their inter
ference is a plain violatton of their
professions favoring states rights.

If a political gerrymander Is accomplished
It will be a sad blow to democratic hones

Weslem laborer: It seems to us If the
legislature were to pass a simple enabling
act granting to all cities and towns In Ne
braska the right to adopt the commission
form of government It would be more sat
isfactory. Then each city or town could
whip out the kind of plan It desired to
adopt for Itself and have all the time It
wanted for discussion. It Is too big a
question to be settled by the rush act.
Hastings Republican: If the Plarek bill
Is Intended, as claimed by The Omaha Bee,
"an evident attempt to gerrymander the
democratic voters into the dominant posi
tion," is should be defeated. The only
excuse. If any, for a redisricting of the
state should be purely along equitable and
fair lines. If It cannot be accomplished witM
this end in view, the measure should be
killed. These are times for legislators to
tote fair.
Grand Island Independent: Mr. Bryan
has a new panacea. Ha would have a law
passed requiring every newspaper to pub
lish the names of Its holders aa also the
holders of every mortgage on such prop
erty. But wherefore this class legislation,
Colonel? Why not apply the principle to
every other corporation or at least to all
public utility corporations? As to the
newspaper, let the editor take tha cussing.
For what other purpose Is he? Isn't that
the way In which he earns his munificent
salary?
O'Neill Independent: Lincoln Is having a
taste of what the democrats got last year
In the open primary. This time the demo
crats are using it to nominate a man re
publicans do not want. The open primary,
while good in theory has proved vicious In
practice and will be jtsed in this way as
long as It remains upon our statutes. The
democrats were made sore last year by
having a man forced upon their ticket that
they did not want and here Is the time ta
get back at them In a way that will cause
them trouble.

Several of our public school build-

others in abeyance until the- regular

Now it seems that Champ Clark as
speaker and his democratic colleagues
will follow this precedent. That is
suggested in the Interview of Con
gressman Hammond of Minnesota, who
is a member of the ways and means
committee. He ventures the opinion
that only the rules, accounts and mile
age and possibly one other committee
will be selected. The ways and means
is already made up. While the rules
now deny the full appointing power to
the speaker, he and his coterie of inti
mates will undoubtedly hold this
power over any democratic brethren
inclined to be recalcitrant, at least
until the close of the extra session and
the beginning of the regular one. Nor
Is it even certain that the tentative

That did her pulses stir.
