WHERE DO YOU STAND?
Among other propositions b2-
fore the public and worthy cf
consideration, are:
1. The guarantee of bank ds-
posits. & I
2. The election of United j
cnmuii oy aireci vote
of the people, and
3. An Income tax levied on
large incomes to help pay the
expense of the general gov-
ernment
Those propositions commend
themselves to three-fourths of
the voters of Nebraska. Bryan
stands pledged to everyone of
them. Taft and his party are
against them. Where do you

any more.
The Issue Not Shifted.
Mr. Bryan declared in a recent speech
that "there is another issue" ' of this
campaign and that is the question of
whether he is running against one man
or two. Mr. Bryan said that he had
been under the impression that he had
been running against William II. Taft,
but that it appeared that he was also
running against Theodore Roosevelt.
We do i.o' care to raise an issue with
Mr. Bryan, but it is constrained to call
his attention to the fact that the ques
tion he discMi.-.sed is nt'another is;:ue. "
It is the great issue of this campaign,
and bv that issue, Mr. Bryan's election
is made sure and certain. For Wiilian
J. Bryan is running against two men
on the Republican side or, rather one
madman and his proxy.
The issue is row and always has been
"Roosevelt Against the People"
"Rooseveltism Against Sanity." Be
hind every speech that he has uttered,
in every sentence that he has penned,
"my policies" have been the motive or
the theme, and Theodore Roosevelt,
the paranoiac of the White House, has
been predominant
Not daring to call his mind his own,
unable to draw one breath free from
censorship, living, moving and having
his being in the fear of the "Big Stick, '
William H. Taft has been the most
pitiful spectacle that ever paraded in
the likeness of a presidential candidate.
These tacts present the issue the
old issue that has appeared in a thous-

to shift the issue, but it will not be
shifted.

fixed it and when future historians

for Senator, Challenges His Op
ponent's Mouth-piece.
The Weeping Water Republican, the
mouth-piece of my opponent, has seen
fit to attack me, and is endeavoring to
convey the impression that I am oppos
ed to any legislation of benefit to the
farmer organizations, and that in the
past I have been connected, or a party
to combinations.
I do not deny that I belonged to the
old Nebraska Grain Dealers Association;
also did my opponent's running mate,
D. Smith, and A. F. Sturm, Chairman
of the Republican County Central Com
mittee. In fact, most of the grain men
did, but I positively deny that either of
the above-named gentlemen or myself
were acting in an unlawful manner in
any way, shape or form. I challenge
the author of the article in the Weeping
Water Republican, or my opponent, or
any of his friends to produce any proof
that I was ever, in any way, connected
with or guilty of any conspiracy to pool
or combine any of my business with any
party, company or corporation, or any
way guilty of the charges attempted to
be set forth in the Republican.
I will post a forfeit of $500,00, to be
placed in any bank or responsible par
ties' hands, and give them a hearing be
fore any five good, substantial farmers,
and if they can prove the charges they
attempt to set forth in their article, I
will forfeit the above amount. All I ask
is a hearing before the election.
This challenge is good to all comers.
