TO
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 8.
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.

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

key is on the liekets for tho social

as is the. socialist candidate.
In tho Third ward J. T. Suimuor-
villo is making tho raco against D.

.56 OF AN INCH OF
RAIN SINGE JAN. 1
The local weather bureau reports
a rainfall of one-third of tin inch
during Sunday night, innkiug u total
rainfall for the first eight days of
January of .50 of mi inch. 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

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.
Cbauibci-Iiiln Active.
Advocates of tho presidential
proferonco primary aro confident of
success. 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
