From the Center of Things
I Six.'Clul Lincoln CnrrvstHmricnrt.
Lincoln, Nebr,, August 20 This has
been the quietest week Lincoln has exper
ienced since the latter part of June, when
the first Denver 'delegations began stop
ping ofl an their way to the mountain city.
This has enabled Mr. Bryan to devote
considerable time to the speeches he has
arranged to deliver. With his secretary,
Robert F. Rose, he has diligently worked
on the speeches, but has taken time to
hold long distance consultations with
Chairman Mack, and to answer a valumi
nous correspondence. Mr. Bryan left on
Wednesday evening for Des Moioes, Iowa
where he delivered a tartffl speech on
August 20. From there he went to Chica
go and spent Sunday, seizing the oppor
tunity to consult with the national com
mittee. From Chicago he went to Indian
apolis to attend the Kern notification. He
will make one and possibly two speeches
in Minnesota during the last week in Aug
ust, then go to Topeka to speak on the
bank guarantee question. Labor Day he
will deliver the address of the day in Chi
cago. This celebration is under the
auspices of the Chicago Trades and Labor
Council and will be held'.it Sportsman's
Park.
The famous Minnesota trick mule, pre
sented to Mr. Bnnu by Minnesota demo
crats, arrived i 1 Lincoln this week,
"Minnamascot" was the name selected by
- Mr. Bryan for this animal, but after a
startling experiencu at Fair view the name
"Major"' was added. This was in honor
of Major Dickinson, the veteran corres
pondent of the New York Herald- who
volunteered to be the first to ride the ani
mal. .As the result of the effort Major
Dickinson spent a couple of days in bed,
and "Major Minnamascot" was put to the
prosaic task of hauling a lawn mower.
The re-nomination of Governor Johnson
of Minnesota was very pleasing to Air.
Bryan, and he wired his congratulations
to both the governor and the convention,
"It Is a great compliment to Governor
Johnson to be nominated a third time,
said Mr. Bryan, "and I think his candida
cy will help the national ticket in Minne
sota. The Announcement that the New York
World had come out unreservedly for the
democratic ticket and platform was wel
comed at Fairview, While expressing his
pleasure at the World's announcement
Mr. Bryan refused to be interviewed on
the -subject.
Fifteen years ngo the Northern National
Bank of Big Rapids, Mich,, closed its
'doors. On August 3, 1908, the depositors,
tired of the long delay in securing a settle
ment of their claims, held a mass meeting
for the purpose of taking some action
looking toward the ascertainment of the
exact status of affairs. The receiver says
he cannot make settlement until pending
litigation is settled. The facts of this case
will be used by the national committee as
an object lesson showing the necessity of a
law guaranteeing deposits. Incidentally
it might be remarked that it took some ten
or twelve years to settle under the present
order of things, the receivership of two or
three Lincoln banks that failed in the
early 90's, A comparison of these inci
dents with the Coalgate, Okli., bank set
tlement will be interesting to the people of
the country.
Hon. E. E, Brown, a pioneer resident
of Lincoln, and one of Mr- Bryau's warm
est friends and most, active supporters,
died last week apd was' buried Saturday,
Mr, Bryan was one of the pallbearers.
Mr. Brown was a republican until 1896,
when he allied himself with the "silver
republican" party, and afterwards regis-
tered as ,V democrat. He wa connected
with trae Of Lincoln j (argett banks and
was accounted one of the wealthiest of
Lincoln's cititens.
From every quarter homes the most'
cheering news of the polftlcal situation.
This is especially true of the big industrial
centers where the labor vote is large.
Several official organs of trades unions and
labor organizations have come out unre
servedly for the democratic ticket. One
of these is the Weekly Bulletin of the
Clothing Trades, official organ of the
t'nited Garment Workers' Union, and
another is The Trackman, official organ of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trackmen.
The Ceutral Trades and Labor Councils
of Washington. Chicago Philadelphia,
Lincoln, Denver. Pittsburg and other
centers have endorsed the American Fed
eration of Labor's political program, which
is an endorsement of the Denver platform
and ticket. The Colorado Federation of
Labor at Its recent meeting endorsed (lie
democratic platform and ticket. The In
ternational convention of the Glass Bottle
Blowers' t'nion, representing 150,000
members, endorsed Bryan and Kern. The
Brickmasons' convention took similar ac
tion. John Mitchell has publicly an
nounced his support of Bryan, thus set
ting at rest the claims of the republican
press that the great labor leader had "re
nigged" since his appointment as arbitra
tor for the Civic Federation. In a private
letter to the writer an organizer of one of
the strongest trades unions in the country
says ho has just completed a tour of West
Virginia und is absolutely sure that that
state wilt give Bryan and Kern a hand
some majority.
Congressman Pollnrd. the republican
representative from the First Nebraska
district, addressed the Taft club of Have
lock, the Burlington shop suburb of Lig
coln, one, night last week and undertook
to prove to the railway men that Taft was
their best friend. He explained that the
failure to adopt the injunction bill asked
for by organized labor was due to the fact
that there was a street car strike on in
Cleveland. "If a little strike in one city
will prevent a republican congress from
doing Justice to the whole body of wage
earners, in Hod's name when will we get
justice from a republican congress!" ex-
J claimed a Brothurhood man after the
meeting.
To many, it may seem that the hope of
carrying Ohio for the democratic ticket is
a dream, but Mr. Bryan is in receipt of
hundreds of assurances that the democra
tic ticket has more than a righting chance
in the Buckeye, state. Ohio democrats
are united as never before, and the repub
licans are engaged in factional fights that
are even warmer than the republican
scraps in Iowa.
The Philadelphia Publtc Ledger sneers
at Mr. Bryan's slogan, "Shall the people
rule," and declares that the people do
rule. This, mind you, from a newspaper
published in the rottenest city in America,
where 100,000 or more dead men are vot
ed every year to hold in power the most
corrupt political machine ever constructed.
Philadelphia is republican by an enor
mous majority. .
John W. Tomlinson, chairman of the
committee on club organisation, has asked
all precinct, city and. county committee
men to proceed at once with the organiza
tion of democratic clubs and have 'the
same perfected on or before September
15. Ihe names and address of all cam
paign orgaizations, their officers and com
mitteemen, should be sent to John W.
Tomlinson, chairman of committee on
club organization, democratic national
headquarters, Chicago, III, No special
form of organization or bylaws necessary.
Noting the fact that the railroads graut
ed a special rate to the Taft notification
and refused a special rate to the Bryan
notification, the San Francisco Star says
that it is not to be wondered at. "People
should remember," says the Star,. "that
the railroads are not in the habit of charg
ing regular rates for their own construc
tion material or for their employes," It
will be admitted that the Star explains
what might, at first blush, look like a dis
crimination. In a carload of watermelons received by
a Lincoln wholesale house from Oklahoma
last week was a melon inscribed "with ihe
name of Bryan, and carrying a card ask
ing that it be delivered at Fairview. The
wholesalers sent it out as requested. It
weighed sixty-one pounds. This is a few
pounds more than the famous Texas melon
weighed the one Mr. Bryan divided with
the nowspaper correspondents while the
convention was cheering the name of the
democratic leader.

Swinging to Bryan Financing th
Democratic? Campaign.
By WILLIS J. ADDOT.
Tln work of pushing the Bryan cam
paign has begun In earnest nt the
headquarter of the Democratic na
tional committee In the Auditorium
Annex, In this city. Colonel .Ibhn W.
Tomlinson, the national committeeman
from Alabama, who Ih in charge of the
bureau of organization, said tho other
day: "Wo have not less than C0.000
precinct committeemen throughout the
United States. To every precinct rep
resentative It Is our Intention to fiend
requests for the formation of clubs, a
plan for their organization und direc
tions as to where they can secure the
proper lithographs, buttons, post cards
aud other paraphernalia necessary to
club work. While It Is not altogether
probable that we diall get returns
from all of these committeemen, I feel
It Is certain that we will get nt least
20,000 answers. You cnu rendlly un
derstand that 20.000 organizers of clubs
throughout tho country will mean a
tremendous power for the. Democratic
cause. Of the 20,000 at least half aro
lu doubtful states, but we shall have
clubs lu all states, whether doubtful
or not. I wish yon would say, If you
have an opportunity, that men other
than precinct committeemen who will
write to me at the hendquarters of the
national committee can secure authori
ty for the organization of clubs and a
printed certificate of the authority,
provided thnt some oue has not earlier
been appointed in tho same precinct.'
Colonel Tomlinson will shortly begin
a tour of the country organizing clubs.
Meantime those who desire to take
part In this work may well communi
cate with him nt the Chicago head
quarters. 'Political Finances.
The nuances of the present campalgu,
both In the Republican and Democrat
lc parties, are likely to be embarrassing.
No doubt the Republican party will
hnve the more money, but as for many
years It hnB been In the habit of hav
ing absolutely unlimited menus Us
comparative poverty this year Is like
ly to trouble It mora than the positive
poverty to which "the Democracy has
long been nccustomed. Apropos of
that, the chairman of the flnaucinl com
mittee. Moses Wettnorc of St. Louis,
gave me tho following Interview:
"The committee on finance will nat
urally need a certain nmount of money
with which to pay the legitimate ex
penses of tho campaign, and Chairman
Mack of the national committee Is de
termined to run the campaign on n
very economical basis. The committee
Is very much enenvrnged by the fact
thnt, while no organized effort hns yet
been made for the collection of funds.
Governor Haskell, treasurer of the
committee, reports that very gratify
ing contributions are coining Into his
offlee every day.
"When the Democratic newspapers
all over the country take dp tho mnt
ter of collecting money we expect subt
stantlal results. You know thnt this is
a people's campaign, and the people,
therefore, must produce the money to
carry It on. Donations of n small sum
will be just as thankfully received ns
those of a larger amount, and our rec
ords will be so kept that the small con
tributor will receive the same credit
and be Just as gratefully remembered
as one who contributes a larger sum.
We feel that In fixing the maximum
limit to be received from any 0110 per
son nt $10,000 we acted patriotically
and wisely, but we would rather have
10.000 contributions of $1 each than
one big lump sum for the perfectly ob
vious reason that such a list of contri
butions would mean 10.000 loyal sup
porters of tho Democratic cause."
The Gtrman Press In the Campaign.
It is no doubt due to the influence
of the New York Stnats-Zeltung and
its distinguished editor, Herman Kid
der, that so great a number of German
paperu have swung over to the Demo
cratic party. A rather Interesting Il
lustration of this was furnished me the
other day by L. 13. Fay of the Clifton
Dally Advertiser of Iowu. Mr. Fay
Is a candidate for congress lu the Sec
ond congressional district of that state,
and he Informs me that blx German
newspapers which heretofore have
been Republican are this year sup
porting the Democratic ticket. This Is
a rather unusual situation in the mid
dle west. While many German, have
been In sympathy with Democratic
politics and with the candidates of
that party, there has liecn on the part
of voters of that nationality, and par
ticularly on the part of their newspa
pers, an Inclination to support the Re
publican party. Possibly this hns
prown out of the service of bo many
Oennuns lu the civil war. Possibly It
may have leon due to the nlunust dom
luant Influence of Carl Sthurz and of
nriuau Bidder In' earlier days. But
It smiim now that the German devo
tion to the Republican party is dually
brokeu. It began In 1S02 to weaken
when tin Issue of the Lutheran schools
trus first rul.ted and when, under the
leadership of Governor AMgel 1 the
question as to the existence of the
"little red schoolhouse" lirst became
Important. If In oue Iowa district ev
ery German paper swings to the Dem
ocratic ticket, both congressional and
national, one can very readily Imagine
how many papers and how tunny Gcr- ,
mans will come to the support of De
Uormcy In the ponding cnnipnlgn.
Mr. Kern's Speech of Acceptance.
Lou before this time the speech of
ncceplnnce of the Democratic candi
date for the presidency has been print
ed lu all the newspapers of the laud.
Mr. Brynn'H speech was characteristic
of ihe mum It was ethical rather than
political. It dealt with broad princi
ples of popular rule rather than with
distinct Issues, tilt or which had been
covered by the platform on which he
Mauds, and flnnlly It pronounced for
Bttcli fundamental principle as tin
title of the government by the people
and the assertion thnt the Democracy
believed In oqtrit rights to nil and spe
cial privileges to none. Mr. Kent Is
yet (o Issue his letter of nccctftnnce.
but my understanding Is that It will
follow very much the same Hue. lie
Is a clear thinker and one who can
express his views concerning public
questions with absolute und convinc
ing frankness. People have been say
ing that John W. Kern was not known
widely outside of his own stale. That
Is probably true, but I venture to ex
press the belief thnt before this cam
paign Is over he will be one of the
most widely kuowu men In the United
States. His style of oratory Is rather
restrained than florid. But he talks
convincingly, nrgumentntlvoly an.l
quietly, and perhaps Bometlmes a quiet
tall; does more to Influence an audi
once thnn the fireworks of the fire
brand orntor. Moreover, Mr. Kern will
mnko a close and a dear friend of ev-,
ery man whom ho meets. This will
not perhaps Influence tho election very
greatly, for this year, according, to the
figures that I have seen compiled,
there will be not less than 18.000,000
voles cast, and no man can personally
meet even a modicum of those voters.
But those who meet him will admire
him rti'd. In my judgment, will vote for
him.
Newspaper Men In the Campaign.

though there were one or two Repub
licans In the guthcrlng. declared that
their people wore going to support the
Democratic ticket this year and thnt
their belief was that Mr. Bryan would
have nn overwhelming victory. Pcr-
hups this Information coming from Ala
bnmii or Arkansas might not have been
astonishing, but when It enme from
Indiana and Oregon it Is worth atten
tion. Taft and Injunction.
When the Republican party goes to
the voters of this nation, nnd particu
larly If it asks anything from the
worklugmeu. It will find the fact that
Us cntulldnte, William II. Taft. was
the head and almost the originator of
the Injunction ngalnst labor movements
will rise up to curse It. It was Taft
who when on the bench Joined with
the somewhat notorious Judge Ricks
In Issuing the first sweeping Injunction
against the right of laboring men to
either strike or to agitate. It was a
Taft convention which voted down any
resolution that meant action on this
particular evil. What Taft may say
now Is Immaterial, Whnt he did when
ho snt on the bench was to Issue n
sweeping Injunction against the right
to carry on a strike because It pro
hibited men" engaged In a labor dispute
from Inviting others to join them. It
prohibited them from agitating the Is
sues Involved lu the strike nnd even
declared that they should not be al
lowed to gather on the streets, "to ac
cumulate by contributions from mem
bers of the labor union a fund which
shall enable them to live during the
pendency of the strike" or. In brief,
to conduct the strike In any wny thnt
would make It effective. The members
of the American Federation of Labor
are cognizant of these facts. The mem
bers of the Switchmen's union, one of
the strongest labor organizations, know
about It. The reason thnt every labor
paper In the United States Is printing
nrtlclcs hostile to Taft. tho reason that
every labor leader In the country Is
fighting him. is simply because of
that original Injunction and because
of the fact that a convention which he
absolutely controlled refused to ndopt
resolutions denouncinthe principle of
government by Injuuctlon for which
Judge Ricks. Judge Woods and Judge
Taft were and nre today responsible.
A cnndldate Is to be Judged by the
platform on which ho stands. No brief
and polite words Issued now to tho la
bor press or to the dally press by Mr.
Taft can by any possibility correct his
record ns Judge or the record of the
Republican convention which he dom
inated wholly.

An Election Primer
Pertinent Points About Our Election
Machinery For New Voters and Old
. THE ELECTION OF 1904.
Who were the two leading presidential candidates in 190'. 1 I
Theodore Roosevelt and Alton B. Parker, both of New York. I
Did Hoosevelt receive a majority of the popular vote ? I
He did. Ilia clear majority over all candidate was 1,730,26.
There wore four lesser candidates.
And who were they?
Eugene V. Dobs of Indiana, Socialist; Silas G. Swallow of Penn
sylvania, Prohibitionist; Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, Populist, atid
Charles U. Corrigan of Xow York, Socinlist Labor.
What was the vote of these candidates?
Debs, 102,2!:V; Swallow, 258,r3Q; Watson, 117,1S3; Corrigatt,
31,241). '
Did any of these lesser candidates carry any electoral votes ?
No. Tlie total electoral vote was 470, of which Roosevelt got 330
and Parker 1 IQ. Tho electoral vote for tho vice presidential candi
dates, Fairbunks and Davis respectively, was tbo same.
Is not that a ways the case ?
Not npcessarily. In 1S9(5, when Bryan was nominated on both
the Democratic, and the Populist tickets for president, with Arthur
Sewall of Maine for vice president on tho first liekot and Thomas E.
Watsoit of Georgia for vice president on the second ticket, Watson
received twenty-seven electora votes for the vico presidency.
What was Roosevelt's plurality oyer Parker?
It was 2,54.",.rl5. llooevclt'3 total vote was 7,G23,480; Parker's
total, 5,077,071.
At an early hour last Friday morning
this community was shocked at the news
thnj Mrs. Fosket could live but a few hours.
While it was generally known that Mrs.
Fosket.had been in poor health for several
weeks her condition was no: considered
alarming even by her family until about
four o'clock Friday morning. For several
weeks her left arm has been bothering her
add it was thought to be rheumatism 6ut
developed an abcess which was operated
on Wednesday. She seemed to be gain
ing after that until at an early hour Fri
day morning when her physician was sent
for and told them that she could only last
a few hours. Her daughter at Omaha
and a niece at Lincoln were telegraphed
for who arrived on the early train Satur
day too late to see the mother and aunt
alive. With the passing of this noble
woman the husband and family have lost
a faithful and devoted wife and mother,
the church an earnest and faithful worker
and the' community a woman to follow
whose example all would be better.. Mn
bosket was a christian in every respect.
She leaves a husband, six children and
one brrther to mourn her loss: to these we
can only say in the words of the deceased,
"God's will be done." The entire com
munity extends sympathies to the family.
