Repeating the Forgery.
The News in it3 issue of last evening
reproduces without apology, the forged
letter sent the Chicago Tribune from
this city making false representations
concerning the position of Mayor Henry
R. Gering in thi3 campaign. This is
absolutely inexcusable inasmuch as this
paper in its issue of last Saturday,
October 3, denounced this letter as a
forgery and only serves to show the ex
tent to which the personal hatred of
of the News for Mr. Gering can go.
Being given circulation by such sheets
as the News, the letter can do Mr. Ger
ing nor the democratic party any harm,
for the animus which impels its publi
cation is so plain that the most dense
person cannot fail to see it. However,
it is just as well to have the public
know as at any other time that the
whole miserable emanation is the vile
forgery of some person with a personal
grievance against Mr. Gering. The
Chicago Tribune was imposed upon in
its publication and will take steps to
detect and punish the party responsible
and the United States goverment will
attend to the party using the mails for
its transmission. Henry R. Gering is
in full and hearty accord with the dem
ocratic national platform and in abso
lutely unity with its candidate the
Great Commoner, William J. Bryan.
Former: s and malicious pers-oncl at
tacks cannot injure him, nor swerve

Tin; Lincoln Star in answer to the
Journal's editorial calling attention to
the fact that Mr. Taft did not say a
word about the guarantee of bank de
posits, in his speech here, remarks that
"Mr. Taft does not believe in bank
guaranty, but he had so many other
things to talk about issues that are
touched upon in his own platform that
he did not have time to discuss the de
posit question in this state."
It further says that it is not in his
platform nor in the republican state
platform, and that Mr. Taft was speak
ing for Nebraska republicanism when
he toured this state.
Yet, the attention of the people is
called to the fact that Mr. Taft in the
east did speak upon the bank guaranty
question although it was not in his plat
form nor was it in the platform of the
eastern state where he spoke. But he
believed his views would be popular
there and he knew it was disastrous to
give them vent in this state.
Then the Star helps a little when it
says Taft represented Nebraska repub
licanism in his speeches. That being
the case, the man who wants his bank
deposit protected should vote the de
mocratic state ticket as well as the
national ticket.
But the pregnant fact is that Mr.
Taft spoke against bank guaranties in
the east and was silent in the west
where people wanted to hear his views.
If his views were good in the east they
were good in the west and why was
he afiaid to state them.

Is a candidate who speaks against an
issue in one state where it is not men
tioned in either state or national plat
forms and then declines to speak on the
issue in another state because if is not
an issue, sincere '

Some Responsibility.
The republican orators from Mr. Taft
: down have been harping upon the high
price of farm products and declaring in
stentorian tones that the republican
party alone is responsible for them.
Such a thing as even dividing the respon
sibility with the Creator is out of the
question with those worthies. It is all
republican the republican party pro
duced the rains and the winds and the
clear light of Heaven all this is due to
the great and benificent republican
party. While all this is tommy-rot and
nonsense Taft and his speakers continue
to regale the country with it day after
day.
But there are some things Taft and
his party disclaim responsibility for and
one of these things is the panic which
has swept the land broadcast like a
typhoon. They have denied respon
sibility for a condition by which the
farmer with his high prices could de
posit his money in the banks and then
have the banks calmly tell him that he
couldn't have it when he wanted it.
They deny the responsibility for the
work of man but claim the glory of the
Creator. They deny that under their
admistration money went out of cir
culation in this country and paper with
out even government credit was made
to serve in it's stead. They deny re
sponsibility for absolute conversion of
the country from a gold basis to that
on credit which existed in this country
last fall.
But the farmer knows who was re
sponsible for this state of affairs. He
knows that the republican party was in
power last year and is in power now,
and that last year he could not get his
money from the banks when he wanted
it but instead, was given a piece of
paper issued absolutly without author- From every quarter of the county
ity of the law and told to take that or reports of the strength of Billy Ram

Now, isn't it time for the republican i going to win out for election is a fore-
Guarsnty of Deposits.
In this state the republican papers
are making a desperate effort to
have it appear that the question of
guaranteeing banks is not an issue. The
word has been sent forward to confine
their remarks to a repetition of the cry
that it is not an issue. Taft in his in
vasion of this state did not discuss the
question because "it is not an issue,"
yet. Mr. Talt did discuss the question
earlier in the campaign when he made
it an issue if it had not already been
one, by his statement of opposition to
the idea.
And it was a question in the republi
can state convention where the bankers
won out and defeated the proposition
by a decisive vote. This too, in spite of
the fact that Governor Sheldon led the
fight for the proposition.
As the democrats in the nation and
state have declared for the guarantee,
it becomes a most vital issue in the
campaign and one which Mr. Taft and
the republican state candidates must
meet.
And the reason for it being an issue
is that it is a just and needed remedy
for many of the troubles which beset
the financial and commercial world. It
will stop such panics as those occasion
ed by a loss of confidence. In his speech
at this point, Mr. Taft stated that the
panic which we are now suffering from
was due to a "lack of confidence." If
that is true the enactment of a law
which would have assured depositors
that their funds in the bank were safe,
would have prevented the hardj times
from which we now suffer. It would
have kept the hundreds of thousands
of working men at their toil, and it
would have kept the market for the
farmers products open. It would have
kept the money in circulation which at
the beginning of the distrust, was
hurriedly drawn from the banks and
hoarded because of the distrust of their
methods.
Mr. Taft and the republican papers
know this. They know this law is justly
due the people; that the only people
opposed to the law are those who seek
to use the people's money to their own
advantage and escape liability for their
acts. Yet knowing all this, they still
maintain "it is not an issue." Such
talk is folly. It is an issue and the
farmers, laboring men and business
men are united in demanding the pas
sage of the law. To this end they will
vote together and elect William J.
Bryan and a democratic congress in the
nation, and Ashton C. Shallenberger
and a democratic legislature in the
state.

After all Taft shows some political
genius. He only speaks on subjects
mentioned in the platform when he
knows public sentiment is against him
on those subjects not mentioned in his
platform. In states where he believes
public sentiment is with him, he de
nounces those things not in his plat

In Nebraska he is silent upon this be

A One-Sided Bargain. j
The information is coolly given out
from an inspired source that if Pollard j
stays by Uncle Joe in this fight he is to '
get the chairmanship of a good com- j
mittee. There fore Pollard should not !
i
be pressed by his constituents on the ;
Uncle Joe question. '
A few years ago when legislators j
traded their votes for post offices and j
collectorships anb jobs in Alaska the j
people came to call the action by the
ugly name of "bribery." j
What about the congressman who
trades off the interests of his con
stituents for a chairmanship? Is he
different from the man who trades for
a postoffice?
Chairmanships in Washington are
important to the individual who holds
them. He is up that much closer to
the throne. He is part of the "pull."
He becomes a cog in the machine which
is used by the "interests" in bossing
the law-making body. He may even
be known in time as the "whip" for
the speaker.
But where do the constituents come
in? How many people in Nebraska
