nt Central City tho other day showed
that lio possesses tho qualifications
neccossary for holding high olllclal
position. This address was in reality
his platform declarations and it con
tains much that meets with our ap
proval. Among other things ho said:
"Jt is only necessaiy that wo stand
firmly for the essentials of good gov
eminent and do not allow ourselves to
be swervod from tho basis principles
upon which our party rests." But
more than all I want to seoan amend
ment submitted giving tho right of
initiative and roferondum, or direct
legislation, to the. peoplo of Nebraska.
I am in favor of this great pinciple of
free government heeauso it gives ad
ditional power and protection to tho
people and democracy always trusts
the judgement of the majority. 1 am
in favor of It because it is democratic
in principle and carries with it the
solution of questions upon which the
democratic party is divided. 1 am op
posod to capital removal, county
option, prohibition or woman's sutler
nge going into the democratic plat
form because all of these questions
ought to bo finally settled by a major
ity of all the voters of the state and
this will only bo possible whon tho
init'iativo and referendum shall give
to the peoplo tho right to pass judg
ment upon them at tho ballot box.
This position will, wo believe, appeal
to thinking men everywhere as sound
and opportune. Tho same piluciple
Is involved in dealing with tho liquor
question for tho state as for the city
mid we have always contended that
this question should be settled bv it
self and not in relation to other in
terests. With the initiative and ref
orondum tho peoplo of this state can
take up tho liquor question and settle
it without jopordlsiug other import
ant Issues. Like city elections it will
transfer the light from tho candidates
to tho question itself and can be set
tled on its own merits. The majority
should inlo and this will give the
people an opportunity of registering
their judgment, unbiased by any other
consideration,
Continuing the Coventor said: "As
democrats we should stand today
where our party has always stood and
where it will always stand for equal
riglu to all and special priviledges to
none; for law and order and good
government; for economy retrench
ment and reform; no oppressive laws;
for tho homo and for tho school; for
civil and religious liberties; for tho
sanclty of, tho ballot box; for a fair
wage ror au lioncst day's work; for
the man above the dollar; for saftr
and better.bauklng laws; tho ellmln
ation of partisanship from our courts
and from our schools; for a graduated
income tax; for an equitable system of
taxation so distributed that the rich
as well as the poor shall pay their
share of the burdens of government;
for a fair and Just revision of the tariff
downward; for theolection of senators
by the direct vote of the people; for
the right of tho people to reserve to
tbemsolvos thru tho initiative and ro
lerondum the power to determine tho
final solution of all matters of moment
essential to the public welfare."

- To All Nebraska Democrats:
IJy order of the democratic state
committee, mid under its auspices, a
hI al( wide meeting of the Nebraskii
democracy has been called for Coluiti
bu. on Juno 27th, at 0:30 p. in., at
which hour a banquet will bo served.
A dozen democratic orators will bo
heard at tho banquet.
Tlio purpose oi.tltat meeting is to
organi.o a Nebraska Dutnoctatlc club.
On that club, perhaps more than any
other agent, the party will have to de
pend for victory in this fall's election.
mo ciuu is expected to Do inane a
state organization, reaching Into every
county, town and precinct.
The Nebraska Democratic club is to
bo no temporary campaign expedient,
but a permanent Nobraska orgauizat
Ion. Its importance, however, In this
year's campaign is obvious. Less than
five months will intervene between
tills date and election. Within thoso
five mouths our local and stato con
volitions must bo hold, our platforms
agioed on, and adopted, out-candidates
nominated, and tho campaign organ
ized and perfected. Kvory day will
count. Hvery Democrat's help will bo
needed, and the club will furnish the
thousands of handles of which demo
cratic hands may take hold. That is
why we are organizing it.
I want to urge every democrat who
can possibly do so to attend this meet
ing at Columbus. It will bo the must
ittipoitaut meeting of the year,e.copt
ing only the stato convention. It will
perfect and launch a stato dcmociatic
club, decide on its plans and policies,
choose its officers, and start it to work.
If this duty is wisely attended to; if
the meeting is sulllciently represent
ative in character, we will begin there
a work that is indispensable, and that
spoils victory in Novembor. If, on
the other hand, the meeting is slight
ed and neglected, it moans tho delay
ing of our stato campaign for at least
another month: a mouth, when days
aro precious'.'
The democratic paity management
has nowhero'to go but to tho peoplo
for tho brains, the energy, tho bone
and muscle, tho money and the devo
tion which arc all necessary to carry
on a successful campaign. Wo there
fore come to you now. We ask you to
come to Columbus on Juno 27th, and
help us start this fight. .1. C. Byii.nkh

Apricots are just now ripening fast,
and tliero Is a rush to prepare them
for market, so peoplo rich and poor,
old and young, arc going out to tho
orchards In the surrounding country
to holp in tho business of cutting ami
pitting them for drying and canning.
The work is remunerative for a few
weeks as it has to bo done swiftly;
theiefore many who go, do not stay
long.

The city council by unanimous voto
lias decided to install u day electric
current and glvo us contiuous service.
For somo time it has been evident
that such a borviee would pay but ow

was deferred until yesterday. The
city finances aro now in good condi
tion and the necessary funds aro avail
able to give us this much needed ser
vice. Instead of being an cxpotiso tlio
day current will undoubtedly net a
neat sum as there are many establish
ments which nre ready to put in motors
and do away with the troubles of gas
engines. Rod Cloud is rapidly taking
on the conveniences of modern invent

growing and tlio development has
been very pronounced tho last four
