Some ' surprise was expressed here today when It be came known that The Commoner, Col, W. J. Bryan's ' paper, had come out against Senator Simmons for the sen ate, Tho Commoner taking the position that Mr. Simmons Is not a progressive and1 expressing surprise that North Carolinians have tolerated him as long as they have. Mr.. Bryan did not Indicate who he was for, but Judge Clark's friends are prepared to make the most of the situation. If It could be called that. Inasmuch as Mr. Bryan named Judge Clark as one of the men eligible for the democratic nomination for president. While none of the leaders of Sen ator Simmons have been seen since thi article reached here, many of his sup porters expressed no fear of the outcome. The senator did not happen to be a supporter of Mr. Bryan four years ago, although . he worked hard for the ticket after it had been named. Mr. Simmons in an Interview thought the democratic party would have a better opportunity of winning with a new candidate, and said so. His friends think this is one of the reasons" Mr. Bryan Is against him. Thnt Governor Kitchin and his friends were elated there is no doubt, and the governor will use the words from The Commoner in his-speeches attacking Senator , Simmons record.

Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon, replied yesterday to Colonel Roose velt's statement that he and former Congressman Sibley of Pennsylvania were the only legislators v.' ho ever called at the white house during hla administration in regard to Standard Oil. "I must confess surprise at Col onel Roosevelt's dragging my name into the controversy he is now hav ing with Standard Oil representatives and others," said Senator Bourne. The senator, explaining that in 1908 he did endeavor to settle differences between the government and Stand ard Oil, declared that he did so "be lieving that such a result -aould pre vent the continuance of a panic start ed in 1907 and that the government could secure much better terms by a settlement train through the court." Senator Rourne further tleobu'ed' that he "told President Roosevelt he. thought the time opportune to make a settlement with the Standard Oil company and to secure their co-operation' In getting a federal Incorpora tion law that would provide mroo of refuge for honest business with the government, the harbor master, and the penitentiary for the dishonest bus iness man." 'President Roosevelt expressed grave doubt, senator Bourne con tinued, "about any settlement favor able to the government being mude with the Sandard Oil company. En tirely on my own volition and with out the colonel's knowledge, 1 went to New York and sought an Interview with Mr. Archbold. I explained to him tlve advantages of a federal in corporation law Mr. Arch bold expressed himself as willing to compromise with the government and favored a stringent federal incorpor ation law." ,. Following ' this the senator said several conferences were held with the representatives of the department of liiKtice. "In my opinion," he con tinued, "the government would have been much better off had one been made rather than the final decision of the supreme court. I wish to tate that 1 had no personal interest in the matter other than a desire to minimize the panic, and secure the support of big business Interest for a virile federal Incorporation law. 'I hnve never had any interest In any of the Standard Oil companies. I have known Mr. Archbold and his family for several years and have visited his house. Neither he nor any of his associates has ever talked to me about any congressional or state legislation other than my talk with him on a federal Incorporation law and the popular government at funda mentals."
