Defeated Before the Demo
cratic National
Committee.
Wiliiam J. Bryan made his fight in
the Democratic National Committee at
Washington Moi'.day and lost. He made
the unseating of Col. James M. Guffey,
member of the committee from Penn
sylvania, the issue, and the committee,
by a vote of 30 to 18, declined to un
seat Colonel Guffey. Mr.. Bryan at once
appealed from a decision of Chairman
Mack and was defeated 33 ta-13.
The committee session was marked
by extreme bitterness of feeling. Once
the lie was passed and blows seemed
imminent. Mr. Bryan from first to last
was the central figure m the proceed
ings and the fight he precipitated lasted
throughout the day.
So much time was devoted to the con
tested seats in the committee that the
more important matters of choosing a
convention city, fixing the time of the
gathering and adopting a form of call
to include the “permissive primary”
plan of selecting delegates went over.

POTASH SUIT SETTLED
Royster Company Accept
$500,000 in Lieu for Their
Claims*
The payment of $500,00 to the F. S.
Royster Guano Company, through their
attorneys, Anderson, Felder, Roun
tree and Wilson, King and Spauldmg
and C, G. Collins of Norfolk, resulted
in the withdrawal of that company’s
suit for $752,541 against the Interna
tional Agricultural Corporatfcn of
New York for failure to carry out a
potash contract.
This is one of the suits 'Rowing out
of the German potash controversy in
which a settlement was reached re
cently with the understanding that all
suits would be compromised.
The defendant company had contra
cted to deliver the Royster concern
12,000 tons of potash annually for two
years beginning January 1, 1010, with
the privilege to the plaintiff of extend
ing the contract for five additional
years. The levying by Germany of a
prohibitive export tax prevented the
carrying out of the contract and the
plaintiff alleged damages to the amount
of the suit.
IS STILL IN THE
Bryan Open Caucus Plan
Is DeteateJ by Underwood
Future caucuses of the Democrats
of the House of Representatives will
be conducted under new rules, which
while they do not answer the demand
of William J. Bryan, for an open cau
cus. satisfy the champions of the open
caucus movement in the Hoase. The
Democrats met in secret session for
three hours Saturday. After protra
cted debate over a resolution proposed
by Representative A. Mitchell Palmer
of Pennsylvania, compromise on the
Bryan plan was adopted by a vote of
103 to 27. The 27 who voted against
it fovored opening the caucus to the
press.
The new rules provide that a re
cord vote be taken on demand of one-
fifth of those present and that a jour
nal be kept for publication. Debates
and other incidents to the meetiigs
will not be made public.
The rules were proposed by a com
mittee appointed several months ago.
Speaker Clark, owing to his illness,
was not present. Representative Un-
derw'^od, floor leader, showed his force
to be still a'jswering to call and en
gineered the movement by which the
Bryan men were defeated. The feud
between Mr. Bryan and Mr, Under
wood has lasted for many months and
the defeat of the Bryan open caucus
movement at this time is taken as
another victory for the Alabama lead
er.

The greatest outburst of applause
that greeted William Jennings Bryan
during his address before an audience
that taxed the capacity of the great
new auditorium Saturday night at
Raleigh was when he declared that he
realized now that there are men in
the party who can poll more votes for
Democracy than he and that he will
apply himself to more earnest work
for them than he ever did when bur
dened with personal candidacy; that
he has abandoned the expectation of
office, but is by no means out of poli
tics. Mr. Bryan’s theme was “Pro.

FOR WOMAN’S SUF-

Bill Introduced in Con
gress by Representative
Latterty.
Representative Lafferty. of Oregon,
introduced a resolution in the house
last Tuesday providing for nation-wide
woman’s suffrage and this action re
called to Lafferty’s colleagues his un
fortunate experience of last session
when he wrote the “I would like to
meet you” no*^e to a young woman in
the gallaries. The young woman turn
ed the note over to her father and the
Oregon member had considerable dif
ficulty in explaning that he meant no
harm but that as a bachelor he merely
desired an introdaction to the gallery
queen. Mr. Lafferty showed his con
tinued interest in the fair sex by in
troducing the bill to amend the consti
tution so that all women may vote.
And Lafferty is just the chicken for
this work. The fact of it, Mr Laffer
ty ought to be put in short skirts with
red flannel drawers to his shoe tops.
It would be a decidely becoming dress

Stirring Up Strife
A gentleman who is personally
quainted with Colonel Bryan, and
wrote the first article we ever
praising Bryan, said to us the other
day: “The brilliant Nebraskan has
been souied by three defeats and he
seems to be determined to see that
no other Democrat is elected if he can
prevent it. “ This opinion is shared by
many others. At any rate, there is
no parallel in American pohtics for
the dog-in-the-manger attitude that
Colonel Bryan has assumed towards
canditates for the Presidency in his
own party.
The colonels contributions to the
Commoner are largely devoted to at
tacks on Democrats whose names have
been mentioned in connection with the
partys ticket this year. Governor
Harmon seems to be his very especial
aversion. The secret of these antago
nisms are said to date back to the
Nebraskans own last disastrous cam*
paign, when Governor Harmon failed
to enthuse over his candidacy. He
now brands Governor Harmon as th®
candidate of “Wall street,” the “in
terests” and the “reactionaries.”
