Such a plan would mean first of all the
overthrow’ of Champ Clark from the Speaker
ship and the overthrow 7 of Underwood from
the Chairmanship of the Ways and Means
Committee, which carries with it the House
Leadership, and it would lie followed in the
Senate by the overthrow’ of the Senators whom
Mr. Bryan cannot control.
With such a split as this in the Democratic
ranks there would be nothing whatever ac
complished, and when time for the next nom
ination rolls around the Democrats would be
looking for another man to succeed Wilson.
Os course, upon such an occasion Mr.
Bryan would be willing to make more sacri
fices and again lead the forces of Democracy
—and lead them to another Waterloo.

After days of chasing about the country,
the process servers of the United States gov
ernment announce that they have located, or
rather that they have agreed with Win. Rock
efeller's attorneys for him to be served, with
the provision that he will accept service for
January 13, to appear before the Pujo Com
mittee, and give testimony as to certain deals
in which he has taken part.
For many days these officers of Congress,
with the aid of a private detective agency,
have been making every effort to serve a sub
poena on Rockefeller, and for this length of
time he has been defying and laughing at the
authority of the Congress of the United
States.
Os course Wm. Rockefeller being a brother
of John D., and many times a millionaire
himself, is a powerful man—one whom Con
gress dare not go at in the way the usual sub
poena dodger would be gone after.
