William J. Ilryan today sustained a crushing defeat before tho national democratic committee, when that body, over bis bitter protest, seated James Out toy as committeeman from Pennsylvania by a vote of 29 to IS. Bryan with every resource ut his command backed up tho fight inado by Congressman Palmer ot Pennsyl vania on Otiffcy, which at ono timo brought out tho "shorter and uglier" word and nearly resulted in a fist fight botween the two Pennsylvan lans. The defeat of Palmer and of Bry an is conceded to be tho heavy blow ot those admirers of the Nebraska:! who hoped to see him again a presi dential candidate as a compromise between the Harmon, Clark, Under wood and Wilson factions. E UMPP Robert W. Telfer for Recorder and Sam L. Sandry Makes Three Arrests Gus H. Samuels for City Treasurer Are Certain of Election Little In terest Displayed.

While the race.-, ju some instances will be close no great excitement or interest lias been stirred up this year as has been the case in the past. Hubert W. Telfer is certain choice for city recorder, due principally to his excellent handling of the city re corder's office during the past two years and n half, lie is opposed by K. W. Kgan, a socialist, who until recently was employed as a porter in Qus Samuels, prosont deputy city (iiisSamuols, present deputy city treasurer, is equally certain of elec tion, having the indorsement of Lee L. Jacobs, who has served for yoars us city treasurer, and who refused to run again. Samuels is opiKised by John ltcter, a barber and socialist. The race in the First ward is be tween two men, L. 0. Porter and J. W. .Mitchell, although Frank B. San key is on the liekets for tho social ists. Porter and Mitchell will make n close race. In the Second ward K. C. Irolnml opposes P. K. Wvnkoop. 1. M.

The barometer ut noon Monday showed 30.2, which is not indicative of mi especially severe storm. In fact, there is promise of good weather. Sunday tho weather was summer liko and all Medford wus out enjoy ing tho sunshine mid balm of spring time. Medford newspaper writers for Portland papors all received mossuges Monday from their papors asking for a "story" on the dnmugo done by the storm, They cuoh wired buck, "No storm hero and no damage." A store deserves to reap the full "advertising value-.'' of its genuine hurgu.iu Miles but it uoicr docs t without the fullest publicity. WASHINGTON, I). C, Jan. 8. War within tho democratic national committee nnd with W. J. Bryan wielding the hatchet resulted Imme diately whon that body met hero to day to name a convention city. When the first on tho list ot committeemen was called Bryan at onco moved that James Wetheryl of Alabama be seated. Chairman Norman Mack took exception to Bryan's action, rul ing that such a motion was unneces sary, nnd declaring that Wethorly was regularly elected by tho Alabama democratic state committee. A point of order was raised', resulting in Chairman Mack's ruling against Bry an being sustained. Nettled by this turn ot affairs, Bryan appealed from tho chair's de cision and an old-fashioned demo cratic squabble ensued. Finally a motion to go Into executlvo session was carried and the doors wero closed. Bosses are There. The reaK, moving spirits in tho mooting aro Charles F, Murphy of Now York, leader of Tammany Hall; Tom Tnggart of Indiana and Hoger Sullivan, the Chicago boss. At a, conference held by this trio beforo the committee convened it was said they had agreed to force tho election of Taggart as chairman ot tho com mittee on convention arrangements. Bryan was further onraged whon he learnod that tlo machlno mou placod to seat as a committeeman James Guftey ot Pennsylvania, his old-tlmo political enemy. Bryan bit terly fought this move. By tho election of Taggart to tho chairmanship of tho convention ar rangements committee, It Is believed the old guard will ho enabled to con trol tho convention preliminaries, Tho old guard Is also oxpocted to throw Its support to Governor Jud sou Harmon of Ohio, and whllo It appears likely that they will control tho situation, tho adhoronts of Gov ernor Woodrow WIlHon of Now Jor soy aro putting up a dotormlnod and blttor fight.

Senator Chamberlain ot Oregon, who Is leading tho move ment, has tho backing ot Bryan and ho doclarod that ho has boon assured that a majority ot the committed inon will support tho resolution, which Is Identical with that which was recently rojected by tho repub lican uatlonnl committee; St. Louis nnd Baltlmoro nro fight ing toqtb and nail for tho conven tion.
