THE BEE: T DEMS CAST ABOUT T0 FIND LEADER Question Whether Norton of Polk Will Succeed to Posi- tion Held Last Session, SOME LIKELY TO REBEL (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 29.—(Special.)—If Representative J. N. Norton of Polk county desires again to be chosen leader of the democratic house of rep- resentatives this winter, he is liably to meet with opposition. “The domocratic majority in the coming legislature is not going to recognize any man as its leader, who was not true to the entire demo- cratic ticket at the last election,” said one democratic member from out in | the state, and his statement was sec- onded viborously by his companion. “We have the goods on Mr. Norton,” said the first speaker. “We are re- liably informed that he fought two of the leading candidates on the democratic ticket in the election and for that reason he cannot expect to pose as a true, blue democrat and act as a leader.” Plan To Get Even. According to the gentlemen, none but the true and. brave may wear democratic spurs of leadership and in this statement they say they have the support of many of the leaders of the last -session, who several times gnashed their teeth in silence when the “Gentleman from Polk” took the legislative bull by the horns and forced compliance to his demands. The list of returning democratic statesmen contains many who would doubtless like to have the mantle of leadership thrust upon them even if they have to fight for it Richmond of Douglas has had lots of experience and would probably make a good leader, while Taylor of Custer, if -he could curb his intense personal feel- ings, might wear the crown with much pomp and glory, Numbers of Others. J. J. McAllitser of Dakota county, with his strong voice and fighting spirit, might consent to take on the duties of leadship, while Dick Regan of Platte, the Irish patrioty could command lots of respect as a leader. Soren Fries of Howard, who \will serve his seventh consecutive term and has been the author of many “very meritorious little measures,” would look good as a leader, although he might not be willing to give up his usual place as chairman of the committee on roads and the claims committee. J~A. Ollis of Ord is another man who has had much legislative exper- ience and has qualities of leadership, which will bear inspection, while former Speaker George Jackson is a very popular man. However, Mr. i i Jackson with Mr. Trumble of Sher- man are candidates for the speaker- ship and the one clected could not be a floor leader. Take Action to Force The Trains to Stop South Sioux City, Neb,, Nov. 2 (Special.)—Residents of this town and Dakota City near by, will combat the | action of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minne- polis & Omaha railway _in refusing to| stop trains here and at Dakota City for the accommodation of passengers bound south. An appeal to the Ne- braska Railway commission will be | made, Passengers enroute to and from Sioux City, Ia, have been departing from and boarding the trains here, thus evading the 2}i-cent fare law al- lowed in interstate commerce. Last Sunday a large number who had spent the day in Sioux City departed on the interurban line at Sioux City for this place, thus saving the bridge toll of Zg) cents and an additional toll of 5 cents for mileage. The Sioux City | interurban runs to the Omaha's South Sioux City Station. The passengers were amazed when the 5:10 train rushed by the station at a fifteen-mile an hour clip and left them to get home the best way possi- ble. They were unaware of the road’s new time card. Plan Reconsideration 0f Reorganization Plan (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 29.—(Special.)— From all appearances it seems that the so-called ‘“editorial highbrows” who a couple of weeks ago rgan- ized” the Nebraska Press a: ation, are not satisfied with the work done and it is under that President Clark Perkins has called,a meeting of- the executive committe next Friday to go over the mattes again. Vi Much opposition has developed to the plan among newspapermen who have been with the association for many years and it is this opposi- tion with a possibility that it may re- sult in a new association which has caused the executive committee to sit up and take notice, according to an old member of the association liv- ing at Lincoln who has taken much interest in the reconstruction of the association under the new scheme, Taylor on National Valuation Committee (From a Staff Correspondent.)

During the afternoan the county boards of Holt and Boyd counties met in joint session at the court room and on motion of State Engineer George H. Johnson accepted the bridge and ordered the return of the contractor’s bond.

Cronin of O'Neill, in an address, gave the history of the bridge and of the state aid law under which bridges have been built costing $700,- 000 in the last four years.
