2 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTL.AXD, JULT 17, 1910. BRYANI5M PULLS N EB H AS KAN S "Peerless" Leader Not Candi date for Senate, in Face of Repudiations'. BIG PETITION IS FIZZLE Demand That He Run Not Sponta neous, as Friends Hoped Blank Sheets of Paper In Place of "Mile of Names." OMAHA, Neb., July 1. (Special.) It is now definitely settled that Wil liam J. Bryan will not be a candidate for the United States Senate from Ne braska, and back ot this decision on his part is the worst slap Mr. Bryan has ever received from the Democrats of his home sfate. Mr. Bryan will not be a candidate for the office because he knows that he cannot possibly be elected. He will not "accept" the nom ination because the nomination will not be offered him. For two months supporters of Mr. Bryan canvassed the entire state seek ing signatures to a "giant" petition asking: Mr. Bryan to permit his friends to send him to the Senate. In every county in the state these petitions were circulated. Politics cut no figure; no man was barred from attaching his name to the list. "Thousands of Re publican friends of Mr. Bryan will vote for him. prophesied his hackers. So the petitions were offered to Demo crats, Republicans, Populists and So cialists alike. Commoner "Much Surprised." All this was done in the absence of "Mr. Bryan, while the "Great Commoner" was in Europe attending; missionary meetings. lie was kept in dense ig norance of the move and was "very much surprised" when, upon returning to Nebraska, he discovered the efforts his friends were mnklng. True, the head and front of the petition cam paign was Attorney"!. H. Hatfield, of Lincoln, one of Bryan's closest friends. Hatfield was in dally conference with Charles Bryan, W. J. Bryan's brother and manager. The Nebraska news papers were filled with references to the petitions which were being- cir culated and Mr. Bryan always has Ne braska papers sent him wherever he may roam. But in this case Mr. Bryan never heard of the move until he returned to Nebraska. Then, four days after his arrival in Lincoln, he Issued a state ment that he was "not a candidate for the Senate." Before the definite announcement was issued. Attorney Hatfield, circula tor of the Bryan Senatorial petitions, was summoned to Fairview and spent several hours in conference with the "peerless leader." "Monster" Petition Falls. What happened at that conference? The petitions that had been returned to Hatfield by his agents throughout the state were shown to Mr. Bryan. He a w petitions half filled and peti tions with scarcely a name on them. There were long sheets of paper with one or two signatures, and some there were that had been returned without the name of a single man who would pledge himself to vote for Bryan. Re publicans "passed him up"; Iemocrats wore "tired of voting for Bryan"; even the Populists, once Mr. Bryan's strongest supporters. had turned against him and no longer believed In him. In short, the "monster" petitions, the "mile of Bryan names," had fallen to a few thousand signatures said by the "Insiders" to be less than 5000. When Attorney Hatfield opened his campaign, two months ago, 60.000 to 75,000 was the minimum number of names with which the managers of the movement said they would be satis fied. Some of those at its head set their figures at the 100,000 mark. The exact number of signatures on these petitions has not been made pub lic, nor will it be. The showing Is too poor. Insiders say the dearth of signatures secured by Attorney Hatfield and his men is responsible for Mr. Bryan's de cision not to be a candidate and to the name, reason Is laid his decision not to "accept" the nomination should it be offered to him. There is scarcely a doubt that Mr. Bryan would have accepted the petition and announced his candidacy had the number-of signatures thereto warrant ed hint In the belief that' he could scure the nomination and election. That his mind was, at least, open to an acceptance Is shown by that portion of his last announcement in which he says that he told all inquiring friend's that he would not promise not to be a candidate. The change In Nebraska's sentiment toward Bryan Is shown to be even greater than had been suspected, by the failure of the "petition campaign." Friends and foes alike were aware that the feeling In this state toward Bryan was changing rapidly, but none knew Just how great this change really was. Mr. Bryan himself is said to believe yet that he only has to raise his voice to have all Nebraska Democrats and Populists at his feet, ready to vote as he dictates. But the failure of the Senatorial petitions should unblas his mind, say those opposed to htm. Ami it is now definitely settled that Mr. Bryan will not be elected to the Senate at the next meeting of the Legislature. NEW RECORD FOR COTTON July Co n tr arts Sell at 18.53, High est Since Sully Year. NEW YORK, July -IS. July contracts sold at 16.53 at the opening of the cotton market today, making a new high record for the season on the highest price reached since the Sully year. Slight re lictions occurred from this figure, but there was a continued urgent current movement and while the July gain was only 19 points as compared with yester day, otlur near positions sold from 25 to 31 points net higher. New crop deliveries were firm In sym pathy and buying seemed to be a little more general owing to a five-year wage uBreement in Manchester, and less fav orable crop advices from Texas, while old crop positions were Btlll practically under the control of the big leaders. AVIATOR SUFFERS FALL Karl's Son Fourth to Meet With Ac cident at Bournemouth. BOIRXEMOT'TH. England. July 16. , Alan .Boyle, son of the Earl of Glasgow, r was seriously injured today when the monoplane in. which he was making a flight at the aviation meet fell to the ground. Boyle was picked up unconscious and was found to be suffering from con cussion of the brain, but tonight was re covering. This was the fourth accident that had marred the present meet. For some time this afternoon much anxiety was felt for Robert Loraine, the actor who started on a round trip flight In a biplane to the Needles. - For several hours nothing was heard from him,' but reports of his safety were received later. Loraine temporarily lost his bearings In the mist that enveloped the Solent, but eventually sighted the Isle of Wight and made a safe landing near Alum Bay on the west coast of the Isle. MON'OPIiAXE ENTERS BIG RACE Seven Sow Announced for New York-Chicago Contest. NEW YORK. July 1. J. Olieslaeg ers, the Belgian aviator who recently carried off the speed and height prizes at the aviation meets In Heliopolls, Egypt, Nice and Boulogne, has entered the New Tork Times-Chicago Evening Post aeropiane race, which will - start from Chicago on October 8 and head for New Tork for a purse of $25,000.

MILLIONAIRE PAPER MANUFACTURER'S WIFE GETS ABSO LUTE DIVORCE. f - A f ., y .i- MRS, MARY SCOTT HARTJE AND HER CHILDREN. PITTSBURG. July 16. A decree of absolute divorce to Mary Scott Hartje from her husband. Augustus Hartje, the millionaire paper manu facturer of Pittsburg, was granted by Judge Robert S. Frazer in Com mon Pleas Court today. The court found that the charge in Mrs. Hartje's libel of wilfull and malicious desertion was sustained. The Hartjes' quarrel has been before the public nearly five years, having been begun by the husband's charge of infidelity, naming a colored coachman as co-respondent. Hubert Latham, -who Is to represent France In the contest for the Interna tional speed trophy at Garden City, 1. I., on October 22. has already cabled that If he can get a reliable machine for such a long cross-country race, he may compete. M. Olieslaegers will probably employ a Bleriot monoplane in the Chicago New York race. This makes the first monoplane entry In' this contest. This will make the contest the first in the United States in which aeroplanes of one and two-surface types have com peted with each other, and the first cross-country contest In the world In which the monoplane has fought It out with the biplane. BRYAN IS STORM CENTER HISORY REPEATING ITSELF IN NEBRASKA POLITICS. Ofttlmes Democratic Candidate To day Is Making Big Fight to Maintain Leadership. LINCOLN, Neb., July it. (Special.) History repeats Itself In Nebraska poli tics this year and William . J. Bryan is again the storm center. Not since 1893, when the J. Sterling Morton fac tion squelched Mr. Bryan's following in the state convention, has any such war fare developed In the ranks of the party a this year. Beginning In 1894, 16 years of comparative harmony under the Bryan leadership has ensued and a number of victories' have been won by the party. Now factional lines once more threat en to split the Democratic ranks Into bitterly hostile camps. This time Mr. Bryan's position is reversed to what it was In 1893. He was then Just launch ing his political career and struggling against an old-established regime. To day he Is in a fight to maintain his leadership. " He has put himself In dlret oppo sition, to practically every Democratlo leader in the state from Governor Shallenberger down, and defies the Democratic committee as at present constituted. He has been warned re peatedly that he is leading a losing light and will be humiliated at tho coming state convention, but it has not changed his programme. Mr. Bryan will go into the state con vention at -Grand Island on July JC backed by the solid delegation of his own county, and demand that the con vention in its platform commit the in dorsement of county option, being a direct and uncompromising challenge to liquor interests for a fight to a finish. Moreover, it was a declaration of inde pendence of such leaders as Governor Shallenberger. Congressman Hitchcock and Mayor Dahlman, of Omaha. Flood Fills Prisoners Cells. CHICAGO. July IS.

Springfield will be bombarded Monday with petitions from candidates for state and Congressional legislative offices. "When the doors of, the Secretary of State's office are swung open for the filing of documents that will get office seekers upon the ballots for the pri maries September 15, plenty of por tents will be visible that new faces galore will be In the General Assembly next Winter. Dispatches from the down-state Sena torial districts today Indicated that of 96 retiring Assemblymen of both houses about 75 will seek renominatlon and that of these 75 perhaps one-third and more face the toboggan, their constitu ents being alive to the necessity of a new regime in the Legislature. In some districts now represented by good law makers the incumbents are to be sent back without a contest, while in others, not so fortunately represented, there has already been a clean sweep that has put all tlvi old members out of the way. "JackpQt" Grabber Is Out. Reports from the Forty-seventh district last night showed that still another member of the "bathroom" squad Is out for renominatlon. He Is Michael S. Link, of Mitchell, who con fessed that he got a bribe for voting PASTOR OF NEW PIHT ENG LISH EVANGELICAL CHURCH. Rev. F. B. Culver. The new building of the First English Evangelical Church.

Link is the only one of the self- confessed bribetakers who has the monumental temerity to look for re nomination. In Ottawa Representative Lee O. Brown, tinder Indictment in Cook County on charges of having patd a bribe to Charles Whit? for his vote tor Senator Lorimer, is a candidate, but according to the Legislative Voters' league he has not a "ghost of a chance." Joseph S. Clark, of Vandalia. who confessed that he met Robert E. Wilson in St. Louis the day it is charged the "jackpot was split up. but denied that he received a share, is out for renomi natlon but is not expected to run very far or very fast. In the Forty-second district, the home of two self-confessed- bribetakers. Sena tor D. W. Holtslaw and Representative n- J. Beckmeyer. there is to be a clean sweep. Representative Harvey D. Mc Cullum, of Louisville, Is the- only pres ent member who Is running for re nomination and he is said to haye no chance. Plan to Work for Reform. Charles L McMackin. of Salem, the Republican member, has withdrawn from the race. Both parties have held mass meetings and the candidates have pledged themselves to work for legis lative reforms. - - The report of the Legislative Voters' League on retiring members' Is being given wide circulation and In many dis tricts it will bn followed by the appear ance of new candidates to fight mem bers who are condemned on their rec ords. In the Twentieth, for example. tne criticism ofw Representative Jsrael Dudgeon will lead the Grundy County Republicans to bring out a candidate who will file later. In the Fiftieth district, Frank E. Davis, who was removed from office as Sheriff of Alexander County by Gov ernor Dineen after the race, riots at Cairo, Is seeking Republican nomina tion for the House. He has four rivals. Three hot Congressional fights are already in progress and there will be a scramble to get first place on the bal lot. . r JOE CANNON - COLLAPSES (Continued From First Pape.) was noticed he did not walk with his old- time, firm step as he advanced to address his audience. The Speaker seemed to realize he was in "the enemy's country." While the audience was not hostile, it certainly was not friendly, and this made "Uncle Joe's" task more difficult. Almost from the beginning he aban doned his manuscript and spoke on the development of constitutional govern ment- After an hour and three-quarters he took up the Payne tariff bill. He had spoken but a few words lauda tory of K when the temporary collapse .me. Condition Not Serious. Speaker Cannon's itinerary in Kan sas, as arranged, included five speeches the first two days of next week as fol lows: Emporia, Monday night; Burlingame. Monday night; Alama, Tuesday morn ing: Herington, Tuesday afternoon, and Marlon, Tuesday night. Dr. L. A. Jakobus, after examining the Speaker, pronounced the Speaker's heart action good, and said he would probably not suffer further ill effects. Congressman Campbell said tonight: "I do not regard Mr. Cannon's condi tion as serious, but I shall advise him. In view of his advanced age, to aban don his speaking tour." V Cannon's Winfleld speech was the first of his Kansas tour. Before speak ing. Cannon declared: "I am .not here to talk on tariff schedules." The Speaker said in part:, f " 'The pocket nerve,' Is ene of the most sensitive nerves in our civiliza tion and that nerve Is always the first affected by any general discontent or want of confidence. I have seen no evidence of weakness In the 'pocket nerve' out here in Kansas, where you are reveling in high prices for farm products and showing no sympathy for those in the East who complain about the high prices of beef and pork, of wheat and corn. I have seen, no evi dence of attack of the 'pocket nerve' anywhere In the West, where business is moving with a push rarely seen be fore. Tariff Is Misrepresented. "The 'pocket nerve' was never In better condition than ft Is today, and that is the real evidence of confidence on the part of the American people la the economic policies of the Govern ment." Speaker Cannon declared the oppo nents of protection had misrepresented the tariff; lied about Its schedules, and resorted to every conceivable trick to keep the tariff in politics. "The demagogue," said he, "may pick out an item here and there and say that duties are too high, but the law is to be tested by all its provisions and not by an isolated item here and there." The Speaker referred to the unsuc cessful opposition to Representatives Smith and Kennedy in the Iowa pri maries recentlv. and continued: "My information is that in Kansas Senator Bristow, with his allies, Gov ernor Stubbs, Representative Murdock. and others, is 'opposing the renomlna tion of Representatives Scott, Camp bell, Anthony, Calderhead and Reeder, for the reason that these Representa tlves voted for the tariff bill and co operated with their Republican breth ren in the House of Representatives. "This is a Government by the people but in order to govern it is necessary. with a population or ninety million, that those who substantially, agree. touching economic and other policies, should co-operate, and they can only co operate through organization.

Complaint Is Heard at Lakeview Be cause of Expense That Would Be Incurred in Case. LAKEVIEW, Or., July 18. (Spe cial.) Attorney Farrell has filed no tice of appeal to the Supreme Court for a new trial in the case of Ike Har rell, who pleaded guilty to killing the NeweU boys. The grounds on which the case is appealed is that the. court was not in session when Harrell was sentenced by Judge Noland last Satur day. This raises a very nice point at law. The courts all over the country have been in the habit of adjourning the regular terms to blank date, and when the Spring term of court here was ad journed no time was set for holding court prior to the regular Fall term. The attorney for Harrell contends that in view-of this there was no legal court session when the murderer was sen tenced to the death penalty. The people of Lake County resent this action on the ground of added ex pense. The condemned man is now in the penitentiary at Salem. People here are anxious to see Har rell expiate his crime on the gallows. State Has $848.952 on Hand. SALEM. Or., July 16.
