THEY FAVOR COUNTY OPTION
Resolutions Adapted toy Nebraska Ep
worih League
At the recent session of the Nebraska
Epworth assembly the prohibition work
era were very prominent in the advance
ment of their cause Several of thb
them Before
meetings were conducted by
fore the close of the assembly resolutions
on reform and temperance were adopted
by the league In these the two great
political parties are called to task for
not recognizing county option The
resolutions are as follows
The presence and speeches of
Eugene W Chaiin nominee of the pro
hibition party for the presidency of the
United States of those noble women
from the south Mrs Armour and Miss
Belle Kearney of Governor Hanley and
of Senator Robert M La Follette upon
our platform this year makes more
prominent than ever the position which
the Epworth assembly occupies in the
state of Nebraska as the heart of the
great moral and political reform that is
taking possession of the offices of the
state backed by the suffrages of a united
moral citizenship
We congratulate the people of Ne
braska upon the vantage ground gained
for political and moral reform by the
enactment of the law providing for the
nomination of the candidates for office
by the people in primary elections
We call upon all good citizens to attend
the primaries and to there use their in
fluence in securingthe nominationof men
committed to moral and political reform
We reffiarm our unfaltering allegi
ance to the principle of the prohibition
of the liquor traffic by municipality
county state and nation We pledge
our active co operation in thr present
campaign with the anti saloon league
the state temperance union and with
the campaign committee of the allied
temperance forces of the state to secure
the nomination and election of such
men to the legislature as can be relied
upon to enact an effective county option
law
We hereby give notice to the plat
form makers of the political parties of
the state that unless they give the
Christian voters due recognition by a
plank favoring county option to prohib
it the legalizing of the saloon they must
expect the aggressive hostility of the
churches and temperance organizations
to their party
We commend the Womans Chris
tian union as the most efficiently work
ing organization in our state working to
secure advanced temperance legislation
and state wide prohibition We urge
the women of our churches and espe
cially yae young women to enter into
membership with it

measure intended to regulate in a just
and equitable manner the powers and

to create a monopoly I believe they
should be placed under strict regula
tions by the state

WESTERN FARHEI
Republican Success the Only Guar
antee of Farmers
Prosperity
Three times within twelve years
have the farmers of the west by their
1
cupport of republican candidates and
iepublicau national policies saved to
themselves and to the country at
large that abounding prosperity which
has placed the United States in the
forefront of the nations of the world
In wealth power and material pro
cess While other sections of our
common country contributed to the
result and lined up to be counted tu
supporters of the policies advocated
by the republican party the over
whelming support given those policies
by the farmers of the central west
was in truth the pivotal incident of
the last three presidential cam
raigns rendering to the republican
candidates and policies a sweeping
victory and insuring to the country
that era of prosperity which has been
enjoyed in fair proportion by every
branch of labor and industry and inj
which the farmer has had no small
and inconsiderable share
There was a time in the halcyoni
days of democratic administration in
the days of democratic rain bow
promises when the term farmer
was synonomous with mortgage hard
ship and ceaseless work but happily
those days have passed away under
lepublican rule and for the change
the western farmer is himself to be
largely credited for his sturdy sup
port of the sound principles of
hcan policy which while preserving
to him the home market of the United
States has opened to the products of
the American farm the markets oE
the- world Three times within the
last twelve years in 1SG In 1900J
and again in 1904 u has the farmer
been approached with the wily de-
celtful arid specious arguments andj
promises of the democratic
ticians hoping to enirap him to his
own undoing in exchange for the
painted bauble of democratic sue
cess and to the credit of the intel
ligence and sound business sense of
the farmer each of these efforts sig
nally failed of success and thej
agricultural interests of the west pro i
Tided overwhelming majorities for
sound money sound government andj
the well founded business policies or
the republican party
Again in the passage of time the
country approaches the date when it
becomes necessary for the people to
choose and define the national poli i
cies which they desire their repre
sentatives in public office to follow
and to execute and to select from op
posing ideas and theories of govern i
ment the administration under which
for the next four years they will live
and pursue their usual avocations I
The western farmer is in the best
sense a business man and in his
best judgment as to the effect on his
interests and pursuits with proper
reference to the well being of all
other lines of honest industry will he
decide the important question of his
support of policies and parties He
must weigh the evidence of past ex
perience with the promises of the
rarties and the probability of their
performance and judge with whom he
will cast his lot and with what party
he will record his vote That his de
cision intelligently formed and based
on sound reason and established re
sults will be for Taft and the policies
of the republican party goes almost
without saying and is a renewed
tribute to the foresight and sound
judgment of the western farmer The
real question before the farmer as
before all the people is Will he ex
change what he has what he knows
he has because he
is in actual pos
session of it for democratic prom
ises Will he exchange the garnered
fruits of the Roosevelt policies and
the Roosevelt accomplishments as
represented in his chosen al worthy
successor Taft for the
theories of a Bryan
whose avowed beliefs have brought
business stagnation distress idleness
and low prices on every occasion
when they have threatened the coun
tiy In short will ho trade Taft and
a known future of assured prosperity
for Bryan and a reasonable prospect
of business stagnation and possible
business disaster No ordinary course
of reasoning indicates that he will
In the year 1S9G the farmers of
Nebraska were blessed with a bounti
ful crop of corn On every hillside
and in every valley the golden ears
ripened In the autumn sun promising
the farmer an unusual reward for his
toil The harvest was garnered and
what the result For four years our
national affairs had been adminis
tered by the democratic party A
democratic surgery accomplished on
our protective tariff had removed the
principle of protection to American
Industries and our mills and factories
were to a great degree closed and
trrantless thousands of consumers ot
farm products thrown into Idleness
and forced into the lis of unem
ployed The home market of the
farmer was to this degree destroyed
raid as a direct result the bounteous
crop of Nebraska corn was marketed
at an average price around ten ceuts
per bushel a price below the cost of
production while live stock and other
products of the farm found an equally
low market Distress was apparent
and real Nebraska farmers were
suffering from the application of
democratic theories and practice
plied to the business affairs of the
country But light came through the
clouds and a promise of better things
in store With the inauguration of
IcKinley in March 1SD7 the busi
ness of the countiv showed immedi
ate evidences of revival and hope and
confidence returned to the farmer the
workingman merchant and manufac
turer A republican congress quickly
restored the principle of protection
tn American industry to our tariff
schedules the act received instant
approval of a republican chief execuJ
tive and the march of prosperity andj
progress had begun a march tliatj
still continues after carrying our
country to the heights oZ pioaperityj
in competition with the nations of the
earth Since the days of democratic
theories and practice passed away the
Nebraska farmer has known no ten-
cent corn nor 250 hogs his homcj
market has been broad and ample
the markets of the world have beea
opened to him through wise
hcan legislation and administration
and today the Nebraska farmer as aj
direct result is a creditor of his
low men with ready capital of hisj
cwn to expand and extend his oppor j
tmiities Can any reason be found inj
this experience to warrant the ex
change of Taft and republican accom
plishments for Bryan and democratic
promises
St is but human to forget the ills of
the past when better days come -and
to most people and very rightly soj
the general distress of that period1
lemains but an unpleasant memory
Yet in the face of the fact that again
the decision must be made in which
the same dangerous conditions are in j
volved it is but the part of wisdom
o recall exactly what they were their
scope and extent A conservative
writer has since penned the accurate
history of those days in these words
Never in American history was the
situation of the American farmer as
distressing as when the republican
party met in convention in June 1S96
Business confidence was gone labon
was idle capital retired farm values
shrunken and the sheriff with his
fcieclosed mortgage sales the only
active man in rural communitiesJ
That convention planting itselt
squarely upon the side of nationa
honor and business integrity nomi
nated a man whose whole life work
was summed up in his trenchant
declaration Open American ilifls to
American Workmen With Mr
Bryans nomination the issue was
squarely joined and presented to the
American farmer for settlement on
candidate offering a debased cur
ie ncy a cheap dollar the other
standing for sound money protection
to American industries and full em
ployment for labor at American
v ages
The vote of the great farming
states of the west elected JIcKinley
and all the world knows that pros
perity for the farmer followed
No American farmer unpleasant as
the recollection is should ever for
get those days and the hardships
they entailed nor should he forget
that relief came not as a lucky
chance or happy accident but from
the deliberate adoption by the Amer
ican people of the principles and
rolicies of the republican party and
the election of republican candidates
to inaugurate those policies and give
to them vital force and effect Good
crops sent by a bountiful Providence
marketed at good prices by virtue of
republican policies has solved all the
bitter and grinding problems of hard
times and all but the lesson taught
by that disastrous democratic
fence may well be forgotten The les
ion should remain a permanent and
valuable memory to the western
farmer and when tempted through
ttate pride or specious reasoning to
desert the ark of his safety for the
imstaworthy and waterlogged craft
earned Democracy he may recall
the good and sufficient reasons for
refusing the siren call and in 190S
ps in the three preceding assaults on
his home his income and his general
prosperity stand pat for Taft and
Sherman and the republican policies
which have made him independent of
the loan agent paid his debts In
creased the value of his lands made
Mm a creditor instead of a debtor to
Ms fellow men and so far as human
agency can control issues hhn a gold
coin bond of guarantee for continued
and increased prosperity for the four
years to come j
