DEMOCRATS HUNT
IN VAIN FOR MOSES

Discover State Leader at
This Trying Time. .
to
! SPLIT IS BECOMING WIDER
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Jan. 7.-(Sppcll.) VTon't
iwime (food democrat plea tep forward
and offer himself upon the altar of poli
tics for tho good of the democratic party
and giv himself as a sacrifice for the
nomination for governor?
This la the cry going- up on every hand
i where democrats gather and was the
jtheme for discussion among some of the
faithful who gathered here today. The
'man who ha the courage to step for
iward must be ft perfect man. It will not
do for him to have any laws In hla
'makeup. He must be a wet man with
dry proclivities or a dry man with wet
proclivities; he muat be for Hitchcock
and also for Mr. Bryan; he must be for
peace and also for preparedness, for only
such a man can hope to receive the united
vote of a badly demoralised though once
powerful party.
Bryan Opposed Hall.
It was thought a few weeks ago that
Dr. P. L. Hall could qualify under those
requirements, but two things stood in the
way. Ono was that the doctor utterly
refused to toe the line and tho other was
that Mr. Bryan announced that he could
not receive the Bryan support.
Either would have put any man to the
bad, but when the two together loomed
tip the stuff waa off and the democratic
Diogenes once more started out with his
lantern looking for the perfect democrat.
Kcrecently the cry went out that he
had been found in the person of a Lin
coln business man, but when the political
council gathered at least two flaws were
discovered In his supposedly perfect
armor and another Idol was amashed.
State officers recognise that the demo
cratic nomination for governor la liable
to bo by default and with no one to lead
the party their chances for re-election
will bo greatly harmed.
;prar Hall Barred.
Pome one this morning who has watched
with considerable Interest the way In
which State Treasurer George Hall has
elood up for tho law and tho constitution
ajgestcd that perhaps Hall might he the
political Moses to save the party, but he
as promptly Informed with considerable
joy by a democrat who haa not been In
sympathy with the treasurer's ,-stubborn-
t-in " that Ha at a t i i t nrfiVithlttfl ttlA
state tsreasurcr from being a candidate
for governor during his term of office as
treasurer.
Attorney General Willis E. Reed has
been quoted as saying that were It not
for the "abominable statutes" he would
be just the man to fit Into the situation
and lead the party In an attempt to dupli
cate the atunt of the "Noble Six Hun
dred" of history.
o, ot Mayor Sryaat
So there you are. Suggestions that the
nomination might go by default axe met
with gloomy shakes of heads and the
thlny appears to be shaping Itself either
Into that or toward the nomination of
Mayor Charles Bryan.
Of course there is still Edgar Howard
and J. 8. Canaday of' Mlndcn left, but
neither of these looks good to the demo
crat who takes a little for his stomach's
sake. Both of these men are just as dry
as Mayor Bryan and nothing looks good
to most of the fellows who are now In the
saddle If It is attached to the water
waxon.
The situation from a democratlo stand
point Is Very serious and getting more so
all the time.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. ixeaponslbillty,
as between Great Britain and Germany,
for the disturbance of neutral trade on
tha seas, was the subject of another
spirited debate in the senate today dur
ing consideration of Senator Walsh's
resolution to Investigate the freight em
bargo at eastern ports.
When Senator Newlands wss stating
that the ttelng up of German ships wss
partly responsible, Senator o Gorman in-
quired if ha considered In that connec
tion that 200 neutral vessels had been
taken from commerce because of Brltisn
orders In council, rightly designated by
the State department to be In violation
of all International law.
"It la not true that the trade has been
deprived of 300 neutral vessels," declared
Senator Nelson. ';Many neutral ships
may have been taken Into port by Greit
Britain, but only for temporary deltv
during search for contraband. What has
taken freight ships off th ocean are Ger
man submarine that have been blowlrtg
up freighters."
Senator O'Gorman insisted he had not
said the 200 vessels hsd been held up
contirfuoualy, but some so tanen had been
held up for months. . Debate on the Wals,h
resolution was not conciuaea ana will
