Gov. Charles Wayland Bryan of
Nebraska, Democratic candidate for
Vice President, has achieved much
, political fame and is probably as
widely known as the average man
who aspires to that office. He is
known as a student of politics—part
ly as a result of the great files of
index cards which he started com
piling long ago. giving data on Re
publicans as well as Democrats.
In spite of any handicap that may
have come to him as a result of hav
ing a distinguished brother to over
' shadow his individuality. Gov. Bryan
now stands with the foremost poli
ticians of the land. He is before the
American people and we see him on
the occasion of his notification with
uplifted hand solemnly accepting and
pledging “that every ability I can
exercise shall be with an eye single
to the material, moral and spiritual
welfare of my country and country
men.”
' Every candidate for Vice President

books I p ('enstittuion.
Gov. Bryan had scarcely been nomi
nated for an office that is often re
ferred to as the* fifth wheel in the
“ governmental wagon when his pri
vate secretary was found reading the
somewhat obscure provisions of the
Federal Constitution relating to the
possibilities of a failure of the elec
toral college to choose a President
and the Senate being called upon to
select a Vice President who would
act as President in the event of a
deadlock in the House of Representa
tives over the choice of a President.
Booking backward, it is seen that
when Gov. Bryan was a humble sales
man, selling soap, flavoring extracts,
baking powder, or as. a broker at
, tempting to break the tobacco trust,
his brother, William Jennings Bryan,
was setting the prairies afire with
his eloquence as a candidate for
President.
In Lincoln, where people know
Gov. Bryan, no sympathy is wasted
on him because of the possibility of
his having been overwhelmed by the
majesty of a big brother. It can't
be done.
Likes n Itaep and n Boat.
But besides politics and its smoke
of battle Gov. Bryan has at least
three hobbies. They are boxing,
hunting and horse racing. As a
youth in Illinois he once won an
amateur contest with the gloves on.
He taught his son to box for the
self-reliance it gives and for the
lessons in the principles of give and
take. The governor never misses a
state boxing bout of any consequence.
Under the Nebraska law. which con
centrates power in the governor, he
is the legal head of the State boxing
commission, which licenses and regu
lates boxing and wrestling. He re
, ceives all reputable boxers and is
eager to let them know he has prac-

ticed the art himself. Strange as it
may seem, the Nebraska law still
prohibits prize fightiing, but it per
mits licensed boxing bouts, 5 per cent
of the gate receipts going to the
State commission, and the result is
boxers still box for purses.
All that is known of Nimrod is he
was a mighty hunter before the Lord.
This much is conceded of Gov. Bryan.
He is a mighty hunter. On his last
spring's annual duck hunt in north
ern Nebraska, his companions testi
fy, he brought down three ducks with
three successive shots from his pump
gun, just as they were coming down
to decoys.
Good Revolver Shot.
He is equally good as a revolver
shot. As a member of the Tecumseh
Squirrel Club last Fall he brought
down his share with a revolver while
others were using .22 rifles. This
club had a skull cap made of squirrels
killed by Gov. Bryan, to be presented
to him with suitable ceremonies. He
is accustomed to the skull cap habit
as a result of a nervous ailment
which is intensified by artificial light
or sunlight. The cap habit is not
on account of a desire to conceal
lack of hair upon his massive head.
He got his love of open-air sports
in his career as a farmer. He's a
real farmer.
On the morning following his noti
fication he was found in his office
at the capitol in company with
Charles E. Hull of Salem, Hi., mer
chant, banker and former member of
the Ilinois Legisature, a neighbor and
boyhood friend, who came to attend
the notification. There is a story
about a bull that played some part
in his young life on the farm near
Salem. As the story is told, this
bull had gored and killed two driving
horses owned by young Bryan and
had injured two others. Young
Bryan was wrought up. Ho borrowed
a meat saw from a butcher, tied the
bull by the head to a manger in a
log stable and, while several men
tremblingly watched from the hay
loft, the youth sprang astride the
animal, got a firm hold with his legs
and while holding on to its neck
with one arm sawed off—no. not its
head, but its horns. It was the first
record of dehorning in Illinois. Bryan
had been told dehorning would kill
the animal.
Drove Roll in Harness.
“I'll leave it to Mr. Hull if it is not
true," said Gov. Bryan. “He knows
all about it. But there is a sequel to
the tale. One year later I was pre
paring to remove to Nebraska. I
wanted to sell that bull. It was a
Jersey, 4 years old, and large. 1 ap
proached Mr. Hull several times and
offered to sell it.

show that even a bull can reform.
“ T can drive it to a buggy.’ I said.
“ 'Drive it down to my store and
I’ll give you SSO for it.’ he said.
"Well, I knew that was a challenge,
so I got a man to help me harness
that bull. We put a ring in his nose,
hitched reins to it. and got the ani
mal between the shafts of a buggy.
We wrestled that bull all over the
pasture and finally he became so tired
that I could drive him in a straight
line down the road. So presently 1

large crowd had assembled in honor
of the occasion.”

off. “ ‘That's one on me. I'll take
him,’ 1 said, and I did.”
“Did you in all that manipulation
throw the bull?” asked a listener —
ex-Gov. A. C. Shallenberger, now Rep
resentative from the fifth Nebraska
district.
“No, 1 did not,” answered Gov.
Bryan, casting a glance of suspicion
at the congressman, with whom he
has had some political difference.
As a result of his intense activity
Gov. Bryan has, acquired a lively set
of opponents at home, but It Is said
of these, “They have kicked him up
stairs.” When he left the city coun
cil, where he had once served as
mayor, his associates in office adopted
a resolution indicating pleasure at
his transfer from the city hall to
the governor's chair. That w.as the
first propulsion toward the top of
the stairs.
When Gov. Bryan went to New
York, ostensibly to capture the nom
ination for President, his political op
ponents in the State capitol wished
him well, sincerely hoping he would
capture something that would take
him away from the chief executive
office, where he is naturally the dom
inant figure. On the other side, he
had well wishers among the people
of his home State, who had elected
him governor in 1922 by a majority
of 50,200, which is the largest ma
jority ever given any Governor of
Nebraska.

philosophy, Gov. Bryan said:

effort to prevent the stronger mem
bers of society from imposing upon
the weaker. That has been my cen
tral thought—trying to Improve con
ditions of the common people, to pre
vent any ground.** for unrest, to make
government responsive to public will
and public needs, make it so honest
and fair and equitable to all concern
ed that the government will be sup
ported through love in place of Tear.
"If the common people and wage
earners can be made to realize by ex
perience that any political and ad
ministrative wrong could be righted
through Government, there will be
no 1. W. W. nor bolshevlsts nor anar
chists in this country. *
“When the Government fails to
function, when the people have been
taken advantage of by profiteers,
when there is restraint of trade
through monopolies in the necessities
of life and officials in public life hold
positions and draw salaries, but do
not utilize governmental machinery
to prevent the weaker members of
society from being imposed upon,
that is when unrest spreads through
out the country and we hear of for

Tight, form-fitting coats have gone into the
discard. The model that will be most popular
this season has double-breasted coats, square
cut at the bottom, with straight back and side
lines and no vent. Vests are cut square at the
bottom, and trousers are much fuller and cut
straight for all models.
The lower points of single=breasted coats are grace=
fully rounded, but back and side lines are much straighter
than those of last year.
