6 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 7, 1917. Nebraska MULLEN DODGES BRYAN'S BRICK; MAY BE FRIENDS "Old Politician" at Lincoln Says "Politics Make Strange Bed Bugs Buggier;" Tells j of Mattes. : (Frnm Stuff Correspondent) Lincoln, Oct. 6. (Special.) The controversy which has arisen over the charges made by Charles W. Bryan in an interview in The Bee in which ha declared that Arthur Mullen, dem ocratic national committeeman for Nebraska had lost his power to dictate things politically in this state, has stirred up a merry row among demo crats. " The charge was made by Bryan that when the state went "dry" Mullen's power as a party boss went with it. This is denied by some, while others point to the fact that with the state dry" and a prospect that Lieutenant Governor Howard may succeed to the fjovernorship there will be mighty ittle consolation for the Mullen crowd. Busy All the Time. The Bryan men are willing to admit Mullen is a astute politician nad that hit political noodle is working most of the time. They point to the fact that with a state W.000 "dry" the crowd Mullen represents was able to make the senate mighty close on the "wet" and "dry" question, so close in fact that it seemed at one time as if the "wets" were in the majority, and this, too, with the help of only two republicans. . They are willing to concede that it will not do for the "dry" democrats. speaking only in a political way, to WORLD'S CHAMPION BERKSHIRE BOAR Prize porker now on exhibition at National Swine Show, in Omaha; T. A. Brush, Santa Rota, Cal. Tf ' VSj S'ilttJSP'' T'"m,VSi. If;- ; 1 .'1 V " it v I go to sleep. ' They point to the fact that Mullen's position as national committeeman gives him a prestige that will count for a Rreat deal, and that being a man who never rec ognizes defeat until he has to will mean that the Bryan wing of demo cracy cannot afford to take things easy just because Bryan believes Mul len s power is on the downward grade. Many Brvan democrats still fear the Mullen wallop and they do not want to feel it. ; What Will Howard Do, A great deal may happen between now and when the daisies bloom in the good old summer time. Should wan dread alarms call Governor Ne ville to active duty at the head of th new Seventh regiment. Lieutenant Governor Howard will then be gover nor., , The storx that, he would shortly after donning . the executive raiment, resign and let Senator John Mattes, president of the senate, succeed to the governorship, In order that he," How ard, might get Mullen's support for the democratic nomination to the United States senate, is not at im probable as some of the state house democrats would like to believe. Politics "makes strange bed bugs buggier" and it would not be the first time that political enemies' have em braced each other in an effort to better their own condition and save the old political ship from the rocks. It is well known that the senior senator from Omaha has presidential aspira tions. In order to make himself strong in the next national democratic con vention, he must have the undivided support of his party from his home state. '-. Wants to Make Up. National Committeeman Mullen is a strong personal friend of the senior senator. ( It will be up to Mullen to see that Nebraska's democracy is solid be hind the Hitchcock boom for the big nomination. There "is only one way to insure a solid democracy that is to for get the past and kiss and make tip. What more plausible proposition than that the national committeeman from Nebraska should swallow the democratic feelings against Bryan and go to Bryan's very strongest political champion, who happens to have an itching to go to the United States sen ate, and say: . "Howard, old top, you would like to be ' United : States senator . from Ne braska. - In order to get there' you must have the support of our party. Now we want to make Hitchcock the big cheese we want to make him the party nominee. - ' "In order to do that we must have a united democracy behind him in this state. Governor Neville soon will re sign to go to war. You will succeed him. It will be then up to you to make yourself solid with certain par ties by resigning and letting Mattes, who has president pro tern of the sen ate will be next in line for governor, succeed you as state executive." ; - Steering From Reefs. ; ; He could tell Howard that he was sure Mattes, would be perfectly satis fied to fill cut the unexpired term and this would leave Howard free to make a campaign next year for the United States senatorship and with the Mat tes contingent feeling kindly toward him and the Mullen crowd satisfied, there ought not to be any reason why he could not land the democratic nom ination for the United States senate hands down. Such a proposition might arouse the risibilities of average politicians, but as one looks over political history he may be able to recall several instances where politicians with the old political ship manned by a crew on the brink of mutiny have forgotten their personal differences when they found the old ship headed for the rocks, and in des peration have jo'ned forces. Burglars Break Into Kearney High School Kearney, Neb., Oct. 6. The office of City School Superintendent A. L. Caviness was entered by burglars last night. Entry was obtained to the high school by removing a win dow. A small fireproof safe was forced and 50 cents 'in money taken here. The desk of the superintendent was then pried open and a quantity ot stamps taken. Next a door into another office was jimmied, but here the thieves gave it up as a bad job, havi ngsecured but little plunder for their efforts. The school officials and police are unable to connect any one up with this jub, but pupils are above suspicion as the entry bears all the marks of a knowing hand. On another night, this week some hoodlums bent the large steel flag pole on the high school grounds, damaging it almost beyond repair. The two acts are nor connected up by the police.

TAFT TALKS HERE TfflCEOH OCT. 19 To Address Fine Arts Society in the Afternoon and the Palimest Club at Night. Ex-President William Howard Taft was in great demand as a speaker in Omaha, when it was found he was to be here October 19. He was so much in demand that the Omaha Fine Arts society, which organization is spend ing its money to get him for an after noon appearance in the Boyd theater, had to call a halt. They called a halt on the Com mercial club, for the club was plan ning to get Mr, Taft to speak at a pub lie affairs luncheon at noon on that day. The Fine Arts society (decided that if 600 people heard him free of charire at noon they would not rush manly to the Boyd to hear hum again so they nipped in the bud the ambi tions of the Commercial club. Commercial Club Retires. Out of deference for the priority claim of the Fine Arts society upon the statesman, the Commercial club immediately retired from the race. The Palimpsest club, however, stuck in the chase and landed an engage ment. They will have Mr. Taft in the evening at a dinner. Jonn Lee Web ster, president of the club, said the nlace had not vet been arranged. However, the time and place for his anpearsnce under the auspices of the Fine Arts society is fixed for the aft ernoon of October 19 at the Boyd. the feeling expressed was not a bit ter one and the cases were not at tendent with rioting. Three German-Americans, residing near Pleasanton, were called upon by a delegation of their neighbors, also German-born for the most part, who demanded in each instance that the American flag be conspicuously posted about their homes. One of the trio was made to publicly express him self as regards his attitude toward the kaiser and he promptly shouted, "to hell with the kaiser," and ve hemently denied that he had any love for the Hohenzollern family or its like. The "visitation" took place just after a number of national army men had left cleasanton for their journey to Camp Funston. Another of the trio, a school direc tor, pleaded that he had not found time to come to Kearney and pur chase an American flag and that he would gladly hoist one were it avail able. He was accommodated by his callers und the flag fles high from his family home now. German-Americans to Display the Flag Now Kearney, Neb., Oct. 6. (Special.) Judge W. D. Oldham, chairman of the Buffalo County Council of Defense, received another report yesterday of deminstrations made against German Americans of this county. This time Pershing Declares Americans Will Drive Germans from France American Training Camp in France, Oct 6.America's lighting men will carry the cause of the entente allies to a successful issue over Germany, General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the American forces in France, declared today. His state ment was in answer to reports that the war on the western front will re sult irt a' stalemate. American newspapers recently ar rived in France telling of efforts in certain quarters of the United States to spread, the idea that the western front can never be broken or the Ger mans driven out of France , have aroused not only General Pershing, but the entire American army. Fur ther resentment has been caused bv the information that these reports had been taken up by German news papers in an attempt to belittle Amer ica's effort in the war. "German propaganda working in America through the agency of our pasifists would spread this idea among our people in order to weaken our initiative," said General Pershing. "Having lost its tactical advantage in the Ypres salient, which it en joyed for more than two years, the German army continues to yield ground before the hammering British assaults. Everywhere on the west ern front, despite the large number of German troops which the Russian situation has released, Germany is on the defensive and the atlies are on the offensive. "America has the resources in men and material, once they are prepared, to add the weight which must force a military decision against Germany. Our troops are imbued with a spirit of aggressiveness, a spirit that means we are going to win this war and that we have no idea of allowing our selves to be influenced by pacifists or enemy propaganda. Neither have we any false notions that victory is go ing to be, an easy matter. But that only makes our determination stronger. "Every man, from top to bottom, has entered this war imbued with the fighting spirit; which meais that the cause of the allies will fee carried to a successful issue."
