Shall any democratic candidate for gov ernor In Nebraska be preferred? If one Is preferred, who shall he beT These two questions ore stirring demo crats of Nebraska as they have not been stirred since preparations for the primary campaign were begun. The moment Richard I.. Metcalfe set his foot on the dock at New York and hastened to Washington where he told the newspapers lie would like to run for governor In Nebraska, he applied the torch to the democratic tinder. The prediction Is that In a very few days W. II. Thompson of Grand Island will file for tho nomination for governor. At least a bunch of democrats In this end of tho state would like to see the little giant enter tho raco soon and do any heading off of the Bryanlte wing that can bo headed off by timely inter ference. "Met" lias Been Sluurc'.. But "Met" has gotten in bad. Not alono by reason'of his flashing in the pan in Panama, say thoso who view his six months In tho torrid ono with the clouded vision of political animosity, but by rea son of his stand In Nebraska, has he won for himself the enmity of many demo crats in cast Nebraska. His vnhesltatlng anxiety to have a call issue for his serv ices then has caused no little stir. This has also -brought Charles W. Bryan of Lincoln to the front. He. hns been straining at the leash for many months. Only political expediency from tho view of the Washington end, It Is raid, has kept "Brother Charley" from filing long before this. Now, it is declared he is more anxious tlian over to get In the ace. Where la Bereft Tho candidacy of George AV.

But ap parently ho too, has not filled the bill, have fought many party battles. It wa? declared hero Inst night that a monu mental effort was being made to Induce tho little giant of Grand Island to enter tho lists once more. If he does so It will undoubtedly be with the hope that his long service and numerous defeats while fighting party battles will bo salve enough to cover any hurtn that the Bryan wins of the party might feci from the candi dacy of one suspected of Hitchcock back ing. A host of smaller candidates of course aro In the lists, but the big fellows are manipulating this campaign and the small fry stand only to lose, it Is said. Ollls for Hull Commtnnloner. It Is now regarded as certain that; J,-. A. Ollls will toon file on the democratic ticket for railway commissioner.

So far only one or two democrats havo filed for this officer one Mr. Ralston of Lexington, who has offices and Is connected with the commission, business of South Omaha and the other a railroad man, residing at Beatrice.

TRUST PROBLEM TOO MUCH FORCOflGRESS Demos Likely to Pass One Bill Creating Interstate Trade Body and Make it the "Goat." BODY TO MAKE INVEST! Will Look Into- Recommend W1 OTHER MATTERS ISSD PRESSING Many Conflicting Ideas Among Ma jority Leaders on Subject. THEY HAVE DIFFERING OPINIONS Task Tentntl-rely Outlined In Bills Assumes Proportions Preclud ing Its Accomplishment, It Is 8nld, WASHINGTON, April K.-Antl-trust legislation supplementary to the Sherman act possibly will not be undertaken at this session of congress on the broad scale originally outlined by tho adminis tration. This became known here tonight, demo cratic senate and house leaders agreeing that a practical solution of the vexatious problem to cope with evils of big business through legislation had been suggested. Tho plan. It was asserted, is to pass one bill which would crcato an interstate trade commission with broad powers to Investigate affairs of corporations, and with specific authorisation to inquire into the relation to commerce of Interlocking directorates, holding companies, stock watering, the Issuance of railroad securi ties and price discriminations which tend to destroy competition. The commission would recommend to the next congress what further trust regulative legislation it deemed advisable, for tho welfare of tho country. Too Many Opinions. Such a culmination of an anti-trust leg islative program, originally suggested by President Wilson In a special message to congress, has been working out In con ferences between tho president and senate and house leaders for many weeks. The tasi; tentatively outlined In bills pro posed assumed proportions that precluded its accomplishment, leaders believed.. In vlow of other legislative problems con fronting congress, and also because cf the many conflicting opinions of men in the counsel of tho dominant party as to Just what should be done. It was pointed out tonight that Preil dent "Wilson, in his trust message, sought merely to suggest to congress evils of big business which needed regulation. Since then he has had many conferences with members of the house and senate committees which have, from time to tiin'e, submitted tentative trust regulation blllsi, ' f " . koine time ago 'a' subcommittee of "tin senate interstate commerce committee wat, appointed by direction of Senator (Newlands; tho chairman, to Incorporate Into one measure all featums. of tho var loui bills contemplated. Since that com mittee has been at work many stumbling blocks have been encountered as to how far congress should go in enacting legis lation supplementary to the Sherman act: Just what would strengthen the provls Ions of the act and Just what might weaken it. Tentntire Amendment Drawn. After many conferences of democratic and republican senators, who, in turn, have conferred with members of the house interstate commerce and Judiciary committees, a tentative amendment to the senate bill to create an Interstate trade commission has been drawn, de signed to take the place of proposed bills to prohibit or regulate interlocking directorates, holding companies, stock watering, to provide for government reg ulation of the Issuance of railroad se curities and to solve the problem of destructive price discrimination. It would provide that all these problems bi referred to the proposed Interstate trade commission, directing an exhaus tlve study of tho subject for the infor mation of congress. President Wilson. It became known to night, had had thla solution . of the pioblem presented to him and it is as serted by administration leaders lie has looked upon it with favor.
