"told me after investigating that
LaFollette electors could be placed

possibly Idaho. Since then a dele
gate from Idaho to the conference at

Follette undoubtedly would be plac

John W. Davis, combined with the
republican nomination of Coolidge

Senator LaFollette. He will be in

FOR GOVERNOR
In looking around for a capa le
man to fill Governor Bryan's she a,
cast your optics eastward in the i
rection of Cass county. There y u
will find Senator W. B. Banning,
who has been prominent in Nebras
ka politics for twenty-five years.
j The day was never too hot or too
cold and the night never too dark
land rainy for Senator Banning to go
' when called to the aid of his party
friends.
He is not only able, but has been
publicly connected with many affairs
of state. He has served several times
in the state senate and held member-
!ship on important committees that
influenced much action for the bene
fit of the taxpayers.
Bill Banning was born and reared
on a farm but for many years has
been in a public business life. The
Journal pushes him forward because
we know he would prove a worthy
successor to Governor Bryan.

quarters. Mr. Davis, in a letter to a

"I conceive it." he said, "to be the

'NO GO
WITH REACTION,'
ASSERTS DAVIS
New York. July 9. John W.
Davis, the democratic presiden
tial nominee, declared in a
statement late today:
"There will be no compromise
wr.h reaction Liberal principles
must and will prevail. This is
ti e mandate cf the hour and I
shall obey it."
Mr. Davis' statement follows;
"The history of national con
vent ions may be searched in
vain for one which has excelled
this in freedom or frank dis
cussion or whose actions have
been more clearly the result of
the unfettered wishes of the as
sembled delegates. The resolu
tion and endurance they have
exhibited is but proof of their
sense of the solemn responsibili
ties to the country which they
acted upon and of the supreme
vitality of democracy.
"I cannot but feel deeply sen
sible of the honor done me by
the convention end am even
more conscious of the weighty
obligations that have fallen to
me by its deliberate and unani
mous choice. Not least of these
is the duty to put before the
country as clearly as my powers
permit, the democratic creed and
the democratic policy as the con
vention has declr.red them
"That this creed and this pol
icy will receive the militant sup
pert of all those who call them-f-:ves
by the democratic name
I do not doubt for an instant. I
shall hop to rally their aid of
that body of liberal, progressive
and independent thought which
believes that 'progressive is mo
tion, government is action' which
detests privilege in whatever
form and which does not wish
the American people or their
government to stand still or re
treat from the midst of a chang
ing world.
"There can be no compromise
with reaction. Liberal principles
must and will prevail. This is
the mandate of the hour and I
shall obey it."

GIVES FIGURES AS
TO AUTO BRIDGE
State Railway Commission Makes
Estimates as to Cost of Platte
River Bridge.
The matter of the securing of the
wagon and auto bridge over the
Platte river north of this city by the
state and the counties of Cass and
Sarpy, was given a new life today
when the report of the state railway
commission on the physical valuation
of the bridge was received at the
office of County Clerk George R.
Sables.
The commission places the origi
nal at $21,251.70 and figures the de
preciation at 50 per cent as being
$10,625.85 and the cost of construct
ion of the present type of bridge at
this time, with the prevailing prices
!of materia! at $32,166.06. and the
d'preciation at the present material
prices at $16,078. figured on a fifty
percent basis.
The commission does not in their
estimate of tho co3t take into con
sideration the elements of value as
to location.
The fact that the bridge is pro
tected by the two railroad bridges is
estimated as one of the advantage
and also the fact that an island on
the north portion of the river is an
added protection to the structure.
In the report the commission states
that they have made no recommend
ation or report as to the fair valu
tion of the bridge.
Accompanying the report is the
oninion of Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Lloyd Dort as to the procedure
of the state as to acquiring or con
structing a bridge as that of en
tering into a contract with the two
counties as to the securing of a
bridge.
Under the plan as proposed by the
county commissioners of Cass and
Sarpy counties two years ago the
state was to furnish one half of the
purchase price and the counties one
quarter each and the bridge to be
operated as a toll bridge until the
price had been repaid to the two
counties and it was then to be
operated as a free bridge.

conversation with the genial barber,
he told us of visiting at Lucas. Kan
sas, the home of an aged gentleman,
Mr. S. D. Deusmoore, who is ninety
years of age and the father of live
generations who honor him and has
recently married, getting as a bride
a lady of twenty summers. He has
built himself a home which he has
seen fit to name "The Garden of
Eden." This tract is composed of
twenty acres of land, and he has
built the house in a very peculiar
fashion, but withal a very good resi
dence. With concrete he has made
logs and with the logs built a log
house, and has an excellent one.
With concrete he also built a tree
in the yard on which he put fruit,
and the apples he gave a different
name to each, selecting Bible names
such as Cain. Able, and going along
down the list of patriarchs. He also
constructed a sepulchre for himself,
c onstructed alike of concrete, to have
ready when he shall shuffle off this
"Mortal Coil." He also adorned his
tree with a United States flag of con
crete, six feet by six feet, which he
made in colors with different cement
and it is so nicely poised that it
turns with the wind. Mr. Simpson
has many other wonderful things to
tell about this man and his home.
After Years of Suffering
Will Browning, Pattonsburg, Mo.,
says, "Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets cured my wife of ser

from which she had suffered for
years." So easy to take, so pleasant
in effect, and so small a cost only
