Travels Over Nebraska Do Not Dis
close Wilson Enthusiasm.
PEOPLE PEEVED AT BRYAN
Treachery to Champ Clark Does Not
Rest Well Upon Shoulder of
. Proletariate Who Diatraat
Sea Girt Statesman.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 19. (Special.)-John T.
Kent, a former close associate of Mr.
Bryan in his campaign for the 'presi
dency in 1908, and who recently re-
Winced allegiance to the democratic
party, which he was affiliated with for
twenty-two year, says that he is receiv
ing daily letters of commendation from
democrats for his outspoken condemna
tion of the work of the democratic na
tional convention. "There are plenty of
democrats in Nebraska and the west,"
said Mr, Kent, "who do not like the
raw deal pulled off by Bryan in going
against the instructions of the . demo
crats of Nebraska and heading an on
slaughter on the man who it was easily
shown was the choice of democrats of
the west.
'Somehow that man Wilson is not
creating much enthusiasm among those
whom I meet who assail me for the stand
I have taken, and I am enclined to be
lieve that there will be less as the cam
pajgn progresses. Mr. Wilson is not a
man who can , create enthusiasm. He
is not built that way and neither are
his sympathies with the rank and file
of the people. Somehow he seems to
be up on that lofty plaae, which Is so
hard for the average cltisen to reach
with his every day thought."
Mr. Kent has Just returned from a trip
out In the state and Is not impressed
greatly with the way the candidacy of
Mr. Wilson is taking with democrats.
"I am inclined to believe from what 1
learned on my trip," he said, "that the
opposition to Mr. Bryan in the Grand
Island convention will be much stronger
than it is generally believed. While they
may not 'steam roller the gentleman, I
would not be aupprised to see him told
a few things which he will not like aod
which will practically be a condemnation
of his treachery 'toward Champ Clark."
Norrla and Hia Plan.
The proposal of Congressman Norrtg
to submit the proposition whether he Is
a republican and If not to get off of the
ticket, to the voters, is . not thought to
be a scheme that can be pulled off.
Some of his friends think. there is no
way in which it. may be done and that
the expense would not Justify the out
come which ever way It might go. Others
look upon It as a sort of "grandstand
play" on the part of the . congressman,
while others say that In a ' matter of
that kind it would be Impossible to get
the facts In the case before the people in
such a way that they could Intelligently
act as a judge in the matter and that it
would be simply a matter .of the voter
csting his vote as a prejudiced Juror, .
. " Democrats Caucna.
Six more democratic precincts of the
city of Lincoln held their? caucuses-last
night and elected delegates favorable to
the -progressive"1 program "'Of Hlie party.
Among tbe number" are "Brother Charlie"
and "Brother-in-Law Allen" of the great
Commonor.

You can choose, without restriction, from our entire stock. The reductions are as great as any store can make,
considering that there are no extra charges tacked on for alterations, deliveries, etc. These charges we assume and

that usually happens at Special Sales and the attendant disappointment for belated shoppers. It's eminently fair to
all. There is an ample choice of a suit for every customer. It's the highest type of bargain giving yet devised and
appeals particularly to that class of men who like to be treated with consideration, even though they are- bent on
