BRYAN IS RlGHT But Was Ddeated is ebmraska Demo craic State Campaig. WANTED LOCAL OPTION But the Convention Vt-ted it Iknti and Stood Pat on the Liq-.a- Q'. tion-They Frard Itryan'. Swpech and Attempted to Guy Him lIut Failed. The Democratic Staite Convention of Nebraska met a: Grand 1.-and on Tuesday. Amid a tumult oZ cheers from the former ftllowers ot W. je ngs Bryan. permanent Chairman Smyth of the Democratic platform committe.-. read the result of a test vote of the gathering. wh-en pract8 eally took from Mr. Bryan the k-m ocratic leadership of Neiraska. which he has sustaired for fourteen years. The vote came on a rot ion made by Congressman G. M. Hit'hcook. a candidate for the Senatorial nomina tion. which in effect w.ts to elinut nate the introduction of platform planks with accompamninlg speech es. unless submitted as a section of the majority or minority report of the 'ommittee on resolutions. Mr. Bryan. seated as a member of the Lancaster County delegation. was on his feet immediately with a protest and offered an amendment that would modify that inzent of the or Iginal motion. The Bryan adhere-ts denounced the Hitchcook motion as "gag rule." and their opponents de clared that "individual rule" must not prevail. Chairman Smyth or dered a roll call on the amendmet. When two-thirds had been called. opponents rf Mr. Bryan realized that he was defeated and a wave of cheers that drowned the roll cal. began. As Chairman Smyth read the re sult. 436 against Mr. Bryan's amend ment to 394 in favor of it. the dele gates sounded a fresh volume of cheers that seemed to indicate their relief from the uncertainty that .had existed as to the strength which Mr. Bryan mi&ht flevelo2 in the Conveu tion. The orkiSnal motion of M. Hitch cock was then adopted. The action of the Convention prac tically prohibits any speech from Mr. Bryan unless, as a member of the resolutions committee. he should speak on one of the planks offered by the committee to the Convention. The plank in dispute was. -We heartily approve of the day light salon law and we cummend the courageous action of Governor Shallenberger in approving it." The plank was adopted by a vote of 710 to 163. It was then announced that two minority reports would be s-tbmitted. one by W. J1. Bryan and the other by H. B. Fleharty. * That of Mr. Bryan read: "We "favor county optb-n as the best method of dealne with the li quor question." That of Mr. F'leharty was: "We favor local option as now provided for by law. but are oppos ed to county option." The majority plank on the liquor e question, favored by five of the sev en members then was read as fol lows: "We are opposed to making coun ty option or any other plan for the regulation of the liquor traflic a question of party creed. We stand for and insist upon strict endorse ment of our present laws and be lieve that any further charnges in our liquor legislation should be de cided by a direct vote of the peopie. and that the cause of good govern ment and public morals will be bet ter served in .hat way than by di viding the people into hostile fac tions on purely moral issues." Speeches were made by the spon sers of the planks, and the Conven tion then settled down to the final battle. Mr. Bryan. speaking from the platform in behalf of the minority plank presented by him, was greet ed by shoots of applause and was listetsed to in silence. He said in part: "If I have advocated that which is Dot good for the State. let me fee: not for the good of the Democratic party. I do not ask your mercy.'Who less than I. could desire to disrupt the Dlemocratic party. Am I n.'t aware what a resolution it your hands will mean to me? "It has been said that I am mak lng~ this flght because I am rot a candidate. Nothing could be mo-e untrue." Mr. Bryan here referred to the po litical battles he had waged and de clared that -he had been fearles when his own future seemned at stake. Continuing, he said: 'I have been called a dictator for expressing my opinion. Your candi dates here today have expressed their sentiments. By what !aw am I compelled to remain silent whe-: I feel that the good name of my state is at stake? "It has been soi-1 that I am agrieved because I have been s.'id cut by the liquor interests in n-.' cwn state. I have been sold out by~ these liquor Democrats in my own State. and saved by the votes of se:f respecting Republicans who ref used to aid in it. "I expe : :o be in politics fcr many years yet. I expect to aid in the work of the Democratic part y. but I will not remain silent when a band of pditical assassins attack me."

I'hysicianw (lain That the Only Way to I'revcnt Rabies Is to lIur zle the Do;-. The Columbia State says a dozen i or more dogs. supposed to have had rabies. have been shot at the request of their o.:.hs uihin the last t-:n days in that city. Three cows and , (alf. which showed symptoni of :.ie same. have also been killed reces. .'. The police department has kill-d The type of the disease which is1 - prevalent among the dogs this sum . mer is "dumb" rabies. called "black tongue" b~y many persons. Few if iany cases of "violent or "furiou' rabies have been reported. 3 The dog muzzing ordinance which - recently went it-to effect was paswd f by the city council for the express purpose of exterminating rabies in this city. The ordinance was sub - jected to severe criticism when it was first passed'. but it has met witu very general compliance on the part . of the owners of dogs. It is claimed that muzzling Is the s only way in which rabies. and con e sequently hydropLobia. can be pre e vented. A circular recently publish h ed by the bureau of animal industry .t :f the United States department of , agriculture advocates strongly this n measure for the extermination of the dread disease. e The muzzling of do:s was widely d enforced in Europe a few years' ago t and as a result the disease has dis appeared from the countries enforc 1. ing the law. o In regard to the use of the muz d zle on dogs and the consequent de i. crease in rabies. the circular issued e by the bureau of animal industry e says: It "To prove the practical value of e these repressive measures, we have r only to observe the results obtained in foreign countries. Prior to 18-5 .. rabies had been prevalent in Berlin a for many years. In that year a law was enacted. including the whole cf .0 Prussia. which provided for the kill 1 ing of all dogs suspected of having L rabies, and the muzzlirng and leading of all dogs when in public places. n 'This led to a complete eradication o D the disease. and no ease had oc r. curred in Berlin since 1853. p "*In Holland since 1875. rabies be . ing quite prevalent.. dcg muzzlin; was established. The disease imm diately began to disappear, and in 1879 only three cases werc reportcd. It since that time t.# country has l-e. free from the disease, except along It the Relgian border. "In Great Britain the value of muzzling. which has beon enforced ia spite of grea public opposition. h::s been admirably demonstrated. rIn 1889 it wa first adopted. and the disease had alnaat disappeareti by ISS2. when the muzzling wa~s stoppedi on account of the dietermiin ed opposition. The disease imme diately began to increase, and in 1895 muzzling was again enfced. d The decrease in rabies was imme diate and marked. and since Novemi her. l1i99. the country has been en stirely free from the disease.

V'er: MAY GAIN THREE Speculatiom as to What lacrease e Congressmau There Will BE GIEN THIS STATE By the New Census. Which Is Now leing Figured Up.-The Increas-e in Our Population May Give Us as Many as Three New Members of Congreh. One of the interesting and imper tant results of the census of 1910 will be the reapportionment of re presentation in the national house of representatives. It will be one of the duties of the Sixty-second con gress. to be elected next November. to pass a law making a new basis of representation in the lower house. the fitures of the census of 1910 be ing used in the apportionme.L Lan less thie record of 100 years is brok en. the number of representative:, in congress will I-e increased. rhe Washington correspondent of The State says: Of course the population of the United States will be shown to have increased by several millions in the past ten years. Likewise the popu lation of practically every State will show increases, although it is ex pected that in some of the New Eng land States there will be only very slight increases. if not actual de creases. The present number of re presentatives in congress is 391. the basis of representation being. as nea.rly as possible, one to every 190. 000 inhabitants. The allotment of representatives to each State is fix ed by federal law. and the Statcs themselves lay out their districts, endeavoring to arrange the districts so that each will include the re quired number of inhalitants. The congressional districts of this state. under act of the legislature approved February 20. 1902 (with one or two amendenents to take care of new counties formed since that date). are as follows: First: Charleston. Clarendon. Cul leton and Porcheser; population. 1900. 196.Z90. Second: Aiken. Bamberg. Barn well. Beaufort. Edgeflield. Hampton and Saluda; population. 1900. 1695. Third: Abbeville. Anderson. New berry. Greenwood. Oc-:ee und Pick ens: population 1900. 190.662. Fourth. Greenville. Laurens. Un ion and Spartanburg- populatio:. 19041. 1S1.9Z2. Fifth: Cherokee. Chester. Chee, terfield.

Total popuation of South Carolina, 1.340.216. ton by a South Carolinian who pays close attention to such things that the population of thie St-ite will be shown by the present census to be between 1.800.000 and 1.900t.000. At the lower of these figures. if tihe present basis of representation pre vailied. the State wout:l be entitled to two additional rep resentatives, while if the populanion of tihe State should t:e 1.900.000 or over, the State would be entitled :o three additional mnembers of con.aross. IAn idea has gained enrro"ey in Washington that t~ e m.4 o reste sentation to be adol'tedl int *he ap portionment of m~emibes of cuctrees for the rnewt Len year is one to every 220.000. Of course. nobody knows just whit baisis will be ad:pted, and r~I11 not know until the matter is decided by * ongress iteelf. But if this guess proves to be correct, a population of I.0.O0., or a gain ( .4,:0.040 in the p'ast ten yers would ent:tle iSouth Carolina to ne additinal representaire in -ongrews.
