presldonthil candidate, ia attorney for
the French Lick Springs (Indiana)
concern of which Tom Taggart Is the
head. Tho character of the French
Lick resort has been exploited by the
newspapers and Is well known to the
general public. Kern aa attorney for
this institution makes a decidedly
odoriferous running mate for Bryan,
many of who?? surportT yi ?
think that he la the author of the
ten commandments, the Sermon on
the Mount and the golden rule. Demo
cratic politicians evidently viewed a
combination of sport and spotlessness
aa a winner when they nominated
Kern as tall to the Bryan kite and
by playing "both ends against the
middle" hope to land the good and
the godless in the same political
camp.
Isn't it a little queer that Candi
date Bryan boasting of the birth of a
"new democracy" continually harks
back to the old democracy of Jeffer
son and Jackson and claims aa "his
own all the virtues of those fathers of
the party while repudiating prac
tically everything they stood for.
"How old is Ann" is a serious and
intricate problem, hut it is easy as
falling oft a log when compared with
the question, "What Is a democrat?" ,
"A burned child dreads the Are."
Is the history of democratic adminis
tration bo long gone and forgotten
that Nebraskans are ready to burn
their fingers again at the same fire?
Are the days of ten-cent corn so al
luring that anybody wants them ovei
again?

DEMOCRATIC PUBLICITY
A PALPABLE FRAUD
Insincerity of Democratic
Proven by Nebraska
Incident
Plank
In the presidential and state cam
paign on which we are entering much
will be said and many democratic
claims of superior morality and hon
esty of intention will be made on the
subject of "publicity of campaign con
tributions" inserted in the Denver
platform by the national democracy.
In discussion of this democratic
claim to suddenly acquired political
righteousness it may be truthfully
said that no plainer illustration nor
more complete and conclusive proof
of the bunco and gold-brick character
of the campaign about to be launched
on Nebraska and the nation by the
Bryan democracy Is offered for pub
lic consideration than is this self
same "publicity of campaign subscrip
tions" issue which has been incorpor
ated for show purposes in the demo
cratic platform and which, as his ad
mirers love to say, "has come as a
ringing challenge" from the Hps of
the peerless BrJ-an himself.
Readers of current news will recall
that a few weeks ago William, Jen
nings Bryan, the perennial candidate
of democracy for the presidency, laid
aside for the moment his strenuous
pursuit of the democratic nomination
and wrote a telegram to William II.
Taft requesting him to urge a favor
able report from a congressional com
mittee In whose hands a proposed
"publicity" law was under consider
ation. Great was Mr. Bryan's sur-
prise and no less great was his chag
rin to be courteously informed that
at a date a long time previous to the
Bryan suggestion, Mr. Taft had, on
his own initiative, communicated to
the chairman of the committee In
question his personal views strongly
favoring the enactment of "publicity"
legislation and for the moment the
grand-stand play of Mr. Bryan for pub
licity of contributions fell very flat
with not even a cheer from the boys
on the bleachers.
That the Bryan democracy. In suite
of a notorious and objectionable
record on the use of money in political
campaign, had determined to hood
wink the public by hoisting the ban
ner of campaign publicity as a party
Usue, now became fully apparent. By
becoming noisy on the Bubject from
Falrvlew to the Tammany Wiewam
Ihey evidently hoped to becloud the
public mind Into the belief that the
democratic party was the author and
supporter of this Issue, whereas all
legislation of this character enacted
ts date la the wnrlr rt ih. n..Kii.
3tty unassisted y either the votes
or suggestlont of democratic politi
cians.
To lay a foundation for this "Issue"
It was widely proclaimed by those
who took their cue from Mr. Bryan
that tho national democratic platform
would contain such a plank and for s
brief moment the hope was indulged
that In the future the contributions to
the democratic cause from the mil
lionaire mine owners, the Tammany
braves and the McCarren volunteer!
might receive desirable publicity. Thla
dream lasted but a day and like
Jonah's gourd, withered In a night. In
the midst of the demands of the demo
cratic "peerless" and his henchmen
for "publicity" came a bolt of light
ning from a clear sky; a chapter on
publicity not relished, by these man
ipulators of public confidence. With
astounding force came an announce
ment from a responsible source in
New York that in 1904, when Bryan
was an expectant candidate for the
United States senatorship from Ne
braska, a $15,000 slush-fund had been
raised by the Ryan-Sheehan gang in
New York city and poured Into Ne
braska to debauch the electorate in
the interests of the democratic ticket
In this state. No sign of the receipt
or the disbursement of this fund ap
peared In any of tho reports of demo
cratic campaign officers filed in this
state as required by laws on our
statute book since1 1899. Gradually
in the face of this exposure, the truth
came out by the admissions of Ne
braska democrats in charge of the
campaign for that year and nothing
shows more plainly the gold-brick
character of the democratic preten
tions of support to the issue of cam
palgn fund publicity. T. S. Allen
brother-in-law to the "peerless" Bryan
was at that date chairman of the dem
ocrat state committee of Nebraska. He
admits that he Journeyed to New
York to see what was doing, was there
promised and later received from
Sheehan the $15,000 to be used in the
Nebraska democratic campaign. He
further claims to have turned over
tho slush-fund to James Dahlman of
Omaha, the Nebraska member of the
democratic national committee, who
admitB receiving it and expending it
for "legitimate" purposes, a handy
use of the quoted word.
The Nebraska manipulators of this
corruption fund of course assert that
Mr. Bryan "knew nothing about It"
tnougn tho receiver Is a member of
hln family and tho spender his closest
political associate and admittedly sHIs
most confidential representative vto
the recent national convention which
for the third time makes Mr. Bryan
the party candidate for the presi
dency.
Nebraska has a stringent campaign
publicity law, known as the "corrupt
practices act," enacted by the repuh
llcan legislature which elected Judgo
M. L. Hayward United States senator
In the session of 1899. The provisions
of this law require that the democratic
slush-fund above. noted should have
appeared in both the receipts and dls
bursements of the democratic commit
tee, the purposes for which disbursed
plainly stated under oath of the com
mittee treasurer and the statement
filed with the county clerk in the
county of the treasurer's residence for
public inspection. In this year of
democratic gum-shoe tricks, sucking
eggs and hiding the shells, no report
of this New York fund was ever filed
as required by law and the distin
gulshed disburser of the fund so ad
mits,
In this campaign Berge was the
democratic nominee for governor and
Bryan the choice of the democrats
for U. S. senator In case of the elec
tion of a fusion ''legislature. Neither
can deny the attitude of a beneficiary
if the "money had provided a demo
cratic success at the polls In Novem
ber 1904. Under the statutes of Ne
braska no possible excuse can be
made for the failure to report the re
ceipt of this fund and the items of
its disbursement and heavy penalties
are provided for the failure to do so.
It must be logically concluded that
the uses to which this corruption fund
was put would not bear public scru
tiny and that the parties of immediate
interest "took their chances" with
the law rather than their chances
with public opinion and the cp-Incl-
dent smirching of the garments of the
peerless leader. If Mr. Bryan did not
know of the slush-fund then he at
least does now and has for weeks past
and yet no move Is aiade to compel
the "captains of politics,-wlio are still
fighting in his army and close to his
person, to comply with tho outraged
laws of Nebraska which now,and for
years past, have required the most
complete and thorough publicity of
campaign contributions and which law
has been cheerfully and literally com
plied with by the republican party
since the date of Its enactment.
Nothing can more glaringly set out
to view the hypocracy of the Bryan
democracy than this interesting Item
of New York corruption money, used
in a Nebraska campaign in defiance
of the most stringent "publicity" luws,
while the battered army of sixteen-to-one
and "no-more-fourth-of-July"
enters into the present campaign
shouting for "publicity of campaign
contributions."
The insincerity of the democratic
propaganda is so well known in Ne
braska as to require no lengthy com
ment and It Is doubtless for consump
tion In distant states and places re
mote from home that the "publicity"
issue 1b raised by the faithful dis
burses of the Ryan-Sheehan Wall
street corruption fund.
Democratic "publicity" like the
usual crop of democratic "issues" is
shown to be a delusion, a Jake and
a mere bunco trick for the purposes.
of attracting votes to the party of
Insincerity, false promises and gen
