i To those who have watched the progr ess of this store and its constantly expanding influence it is perhaps needless to say that
this sale offers a most wonderful selection qt up-to-date clothing. Looking into the future we foresaw a big fall business our pur
chases were in accordance. Our big Fall business was transacted from the largest stock we ever had. Consequently our Broken
Lots are more numerous. That means bigger variety at this sale than at any previous sale even at this store. To those who knew
nothing of this store we say you will never really understand what is meant by a half price sale until you attend ono of ours. In
the next paragraph we will tell you why.
This store never had the chronic "Sale habit." Our low regular prices attract an immense patronage in the face of all compe
tition. The quality of our garments is never questioned. Our prices are always the same to all. We show no favoritism and allow
no discounts to any customer. We purchase no "Job Lot" clothing for regular or "special sale" business. Twice a year after each
season we offer all broken lots at exactly one-half their all season selling pricos. The wholesale cost is never considered. We
have an object in so doing. Our garments are all sold during the season for which they are made. No "season before" goods ever
found here. We lose money but we gain prestige.

LINCOLN, Jan. D. (Special TeleKram.)
The name of William Jennings Bryan

twenty-five names was filed In the sec
retary of state's office. All the signa
tures are of men from Douglas county
and with tha exception of one from
Douglas precinct are from either Omaha
or South Omaha.
Tha petition, belnK In regular form, was
uccepted and the name will go on the
primary ballot.

petition:

P. H. Lubslher from Douglas precinct
ulso signed the petition. A. A. Arter maiie
the filing.
Petitions have been In circulation for
over a week In the different congressional
districts of the state asking that Bryan's
name be placed on the ballot as a candi
date for delegate at large. Mr. Bryan's
friends lntond to push the securing of
signatures despite the ruling of the secre
tary of state that a name can appear on
the primary ballot but once.
Charles W. Bryan, brother of ..illiam
J. Bryan, made the following statement
with regard to tho petition: t
"This filing was done against Mr. Bry
an's wishes and without his knowledge.
Both Secretary Walt and Mr. Arter will
be asked to have the petition withdrawn.
Thoro will be no legal proceedings unless
thoy should become neceaaary."
C. W. Bryan staled that Mr. Arter had
never been unfriendly to the former pres.
Mondial candidate and that he believed
that Mr. Alter had filed the petition In
Knod faith. V. J. Bryan is now In Jack

A. A.
KIllaaT Creates Itow.
The filing of Mr. Bryan s name as a
presidential candidate on the primary bal
lot has started considerable speculation
among the Intimate friends of Mr. Bryan,
w ho are supposed to know the real senti
ments of the Nebraska leader. Whether
Mr. Arter knows the real errect or the
filing causes smio speculation, but his
answer to a question put to him by B re
tary Wait would seem to indicate that he
does. Mr. Wait auked him It he knew
that Mr. Bryan's name could go on the
ticket In onl yone place and for only one
, position aaa b replied that he did. Prom
this It Is inferred by soma that It Is a
deliberate attempt on the part of aome to
keep tha 1 alrvlew man from being a dele
gate to the national convention of the
Uowociatic party, It being generally con-1 to fix
ceded that he aspired to be one of the
delegates-at-large from Nebraska.
Primary Law Interpretation.
Under the primary 'aw, as Mr. Walt
informed Arter, Mr. Bryan's name can
appear only once on the democratic bal
lot as the presidential filing takes pre
cedence by reason of being the first
made Bryan cannot be a candidate for the
coveted office. No one of course believes
the Fair-view man would not prefer to
be president but then there have always
appeared to be some obstaoles In the
way of gratifying that ambition.
The crux of the wholo sluatlon comes
in the peculiar wording of the primary
law. In every other office except presi
dential preference the acceptance of the
candidate Is necessary to make a filing
by petition effective and even then tho
party can withdraw from the race If he
desires. In this case the name can only
be withdrawn by consent of the party
who filed it. If Mr. Arter so desires he
can keep Mr. Bryan's name on the bal
lot whether the latter wills It or not.
May ne Covert A it ark.
It Is this state of facts which leads
seme to believe the move Is one made
with tho deliberate purpose of keeplnK
Mr. Bryan out of the democratic convention.
W. J. Bryan Is out of the city, but his
brother, Charles Bryan, 'said that Mr.
Arter waa undoubtedly a friend of W. J.
Bryan and thax his motives were good,
but that the filing was without the
knowledge or consent of W. 'J. Bryan.
Charles Bryan said he heard of the move
to file the petition and had been trying
for some time. Ineffectually, to get Into
communication with Mr. Arter, pre
sumably to head off the filing, though
Mr. Bryan did not" say so. There-Is no
question but the filing hat disconcerted
the plans Of the Bryan men and that
every effort will be made to procure the
withdrawal of the petition.
S. D. Mast of Frontier county has
asked the secretary of state how to get
his name on the primary ballot as repub
lican candidate for representative from
the Frontier-Gosper district. Mast was
a member of the previous house.
Alflrlch "Woo Id He Delegate.
Governor Aldrlch Indicated today that
he desired to be a delegate to the repub
lican convention. In this matter he Is
up against the same proposition which
confronts W. J. Bryan since the filing
of the latter's name for presidential pre
ference. The secretary of state has con
strued the law that no name can go on
the ballot twice for any office and that
this Includes delegates. The governor Is
cf the opinion however, that a delegate
to a convention Is not an office within
the meaning of the decision of the su
preme court on the ballot law, and prob
ably will ask the attorney general for an
opinion on the question. Whether he goes
as a delegate or not the governor will
attend the convention but he greatly de
sires to bo a delegate that he may have
something to' say on the matter of plat
form. Jumri Poutlna Discharged.
James Itintlua of Indlanola,- who has
been before the federal court on . the
charge of sending obscene matter through
the mall, the same txilng printed In 'a
newspaper, waa discharged today, tbe
opinion being that it would bo difficult,
if not impossible, to show that tne matter
In question waa obtcrne wlthtn 'l.u mean

Donovan Oppoar Deal.
J. F. Donovan, one of the retiring di
rectors of the t.'nloii' Fire Insurance com
pany, who was paid I2.0u0 on resigning,
said today that at no time waa ha In
favor of the transfer of the company and
that he contested the move on the day
the organisation disposed of his office
without his consent; that his name la not
on the contract and that he never con
sented to the deal, but that after the
transaction was completed he felt that,
under the present arrangement, he could
be of no further service to the I'nlou and
took the !,00t.
. Date for Patterson Hearing;.
After a conference with Attorney Gen
eral Martin. Auditor Barton today agreed
a date for hearing on the claim
of Sam I'atterson for two years' salary
as secretary of the banking board. The
auditor said.
"There Is no ' doubt whatever In my
mind as to our decision, and unless you
feel this Is a necessary step It would be
a wsste of time, but if you desire to do
so, let me know what date will bo con
venient and we will arrange the hearing."
The bank examiners met today In the
office of Secretary Hoyse of the bunking
