CHALLENGE OF
BRYAN BROUGHT
HITCHCOCK IN
Nebraska Senator Tells Why
He Became Presidential
Candidate in Address in
Hastings, Neb.
Hastings, Neb., April 14. (Spe
cial.) United States Senator G. M.
Hitchcock, speaking here tonight in
behalf of his presidential candidacy,
stated that one of the circumstances
which led him to become a presi
dential candidate was the challenge
issued by W. J. Bryau at the Jack
son day dinner at Washington,
against the leadership of President
Wilson and the inference that Mr.
Bryan would be or might become a
candidate for the, democratic nomi
nation for president.
"I felt that if Nebraska were -to
present a candidate to the national
convention he ought to be a man
who is at least in harmony with the
present attitude of the democratic
party and not one who is attempting
at this time to displace President
Wilson as leader of the party," the
senator said.
Wanted Challenge Accepted.
The speaker announced that at the
time he decided to become a candi
date he had hoped and expected that
Mr. Bryan would have accepted the
challenge by submitting his name
before the democrats of Nebraska
so that a fair test of democratic
sentiment might have been made.
"He preferred not to do so and
the result is that I appear before
you, asking that Nebraska demo
crats give me their support and 1
appear without any substantial op
position, the senator continued,
"except such as is offered by the
candidacy of Mr. Ross of Lexing
ton, whom I do not know, but I note
that he enjoys tfie backing and sup
port of Mr. Bryan, so I assume he
has passed the test of Mr. Bryan's
standards for the office of presi
dent." Participates in Legislation.
The senator referred to his partici
pation in the passage of the federal
reserve bank bill and of the estab
lishment of the greatest banking
and currency system in the world.
He told of the arduous duties im
posed on him during the period of
the war as a member of the com
mittee on foreign relations and also
the committee on military affairs.
"Nebraska that, has been already
three times honored in democratic
conventions may nevertheless ven
ture to present 1ier candidate if the
democrats of this state decide to do
so," he said in conclusion.

SAYS OMAHA IS
BEING GOUGED
ON SUGAR SALES
Denver Wan Alleges Prof
iteers Are Cornering Mar
ket I and Keeping
Prices Up. Here. ,
"Why the people of Omaha stand
for the big sugar price gouge is
a thing I cannot understand, when
merchants of other cities of the state
and the west are selling granulated
beet sugar. at a small margin of
profit," said J. M. Wardlaw of Den
ver, who was a visitor at the local
stock yards Wednesday.
'I am a stockholder in the Great
Western Sugar company." contin
ued Mr. Wardlaw, "and have made
it my business to look into the
prices paid for sugar in Omaha as
compared with other sections 01
Nebraska and in the city of Den
ver. In the latter place, fine table
granulated beet sugar is being re
tailed at IS cents a pound and in
some places it is as low as 14 cents.
Powdered sugar is only 18 cents;
cube sugar, 20 cents, and cane sugar,
$17 a 100-pound sack.
Sold Much Cheaper.
"I found that in western Ne
braska and in the North Platte val
ley, sugar is selling at retail for
14 cents, while in Denver, where
I visited a week, the price has not
gone above IS cents for granulated
beet .sugar. Yet lsee sugar is sold
in some places as high as 24 cents
a pound and in the most of the
retail stores, not less than 20 cents.
I made - special inquirry as
to the price of beet sugar quoted
by the Great Western Sugar com
pany, and was told that it was
being sold for 12 cents a pound to
the wholesale houses ' at present,
and that in January, several hundred
tons was shipped to Omaha forlO
cents a -pound. I have found that
there is plenty of sugar on the mar
ket or tnat it has been turned out
by the scores of sugar factories of
the west, and there should be plenty.
Limit Purchase Here.
"In the face'Tif all this I find in
most stores in Omaha a customer is
hmited to a purchase of two pounds
of sugar for which he has to pay
at least 20 cents a pound and the
merchants tell you the wholesale
houses refuse to sell them over a
sack or two at a time.
"In Denver we were gouged by
the potato profiteers and the popu
lace have formed one big union to
carry out the determination to boy
cott the use of spuds until the price
comes within a few dollars of nor
mal. I found that one Denver firm
had bought a large supply of po
tatoes from a farmer for $4.25 per
100 pounds, and was retailing at $8
per 100 pounds.
