KAHO Think of a corset that nrilics jrou more comfortable
for having it on; that lots you breathe full and deep; that won't
press the floating ribs out of place, or do any of the terrible things
that old-time doctors charged tn corsets. And the corset that
cannot hurt you and which gives you better lungs for golf and all
enjoyments of life is the very decidely stylish corset of them all-
The straight front with long hips nnd hose supporters at $2.50.
Kabo is best, costs little more than you planned to pay, it gives

Watson' two hour organisation of con-,

noon for both democratlo and populist con-'
vention. Organization was effected by the
populists with B. R, B. Weber of Lancaster
as temporary chairman, P, I.' H.; Ferris of
Dodg as temporary seoretary. - There were
no contests. J. H. Kdmleten, R. V. Suth
erland and P. W. O. Allen were suggested
for permanent chairman.' Sutherland and
EdmUrten withdrew and Allen was put In
the chair by acclamation.: Allen had left
the hall and a committee, had to-be sent

wa that the convention- should be made
a business meeting.
An effort at this stage to get a confer

first brisk debate. Ex-Lieutenant Governor
Gilbert made a plea for fusion.. Ex-Secretary
of Stat Porter answered him by say
ing hi motion to dispense with a con

pedlat fusion without frittering away the
whole night. ' Chairman Allen cut the knot
by ruling the motion out of order.

Barry, wo adopted- It wo wonderfully
made ' up, reversing all previous practice,
putting all minor matters ahead and fol
lowing that with consideration of the question-
ot fusion -and then ta nomination- of
candidates for the various state offices.
It wa not adopted, however, but a pro
test wa made 'by Quinby of IXmgta
against postponing the vltuj question to so
late ia the fcenaioiu The, convention Imme
diately voted to change the order of busi

the first roll .call, and disclosed tweoty-flve

fered resolution sgulnst fusion, but not
barring the nomination of one or mora
democrats wi ling to stand on the populist
platform and support the popullat national
ticket. The flood of oratory was then
turned loose. Krtc Johnson started the
downpour. He Insisted the democratlo
party was tied more effectively to Wall
street than the republican party and tie
denied that fuslou would give promise of
success. ' '
Bennett Travis of Franklin accused
Bryan of turning bis back on the populists
and wanted to know how they could sup
port Bryan with his cross ot gold p refund J
on his own breast. '
W. P. Porter of Merrlrk OftV red a substi
tute to go ahead with a fuvion program, I
taking the governor and dividing the rest I
of the ticket with the democrats, but re- 1
quiring acceptance by both convention to

and the reajion Is ber-aune our Uadi-r of
Ino Is now supporting Parker."'
L. J. Qulmby of Douglas followed along
the same line. "When It come to a choloe
between Rooaevelt and Tarker I am for
Roosevelt," which brought npplnufe to
him. "Bryan's Interest la not with Parker,"
he said, "he ougnt to be with us. How can
he get his reforms If Parker wins?"
At this point the resolutions committee
reported through Edmlston. It was well
received and unanimously adopted.
. - Popallat Platform. '
We endorse the national platform as
adopted at 8prlngrteld.au., J"ly 4. lwn. and
pleoge our allegiance to the candidates
thre nominated.
We demand the repeal of the present
revenue law. passed by the laat republican
leKinlature and the enactment of a law
J that will place th.0- burden of tnxatlon
. where It belongs, ao that corporations as
well as Individuals.' and rich as well as
poor, shall each pay taxes according to
the amount of property owned, and we
pledge our candidates to work for such a
law.
We arraign' the republican party of thl
state for Its extravagance and for the In
crease of public expenditures since It came
Into power, and point to the fact tht the
republican administration ha greatly In
creased the burden of taxation, as shown
by the offlclale, a follows: The last fusion
legislature Appropriated $2,835,843 and the
Inst republican legislature appropriated
.7O4.2S0. The late funlon administration
reduced-the state debt ttiTT.OSS In foor years,
while In three years of republican adminla
trntlon the state debt has been Increased
lUij.T-H. We hereby pledge our candidates
to a policy of strict economy In public ex
penditures. We demand that the next legislature
shall enact a law which shall effectually
Insure to all persons, associations and cor
porations equal shipping and elevator site
privileges on all railroads In this state.
We demand that steps shall be taken to
revise the operatiun of tho mitxlimim
freight law by suitable proceedings in court
If that can be done, or In lieu thereof that
legislation ehHll be enacted to regulate and
reduce tho prevailing high freight rates.
A motion to make the last clause Include
passenger rates failed.
On resumption of the discussion of fusion
a Thayer county, man described the dptha
to which fusion had brought the party
there down to a delegation of ten, all pres-.
nt In the person of two men. Freeman
of Colfax added his plea for an Independ
ent ticket. ' ' .
Mullen of Holt said the ' opposition to
fusion came from counties that gave; re
publican majorities. "We are . not afraid
of the republicans so much as the mid
road pops," he said. He took a shot at p.
Clem Deaver and reviewed fusion history.
Bee a New Llerht..
Sundeen of Saunders made a confession
that ho had been converted'to fusion alnoe
he came to the convention. He advised
concessions to the democrats to get demo
cratic votes for the populist' electoral tic
ket. ' Mike Harrlnsrton asked and got unlimited
time to unburden himself. He made a
characteristic fusion speech.
"Fusion ha not been failure. It has
given us much for which we must be
thankful," he asserted -and recited a long
list of alleged benefits. "There Is a chance
to defeat Mickey and Mlckeyism if w will
only get out and work and stop kicking,"
he continued, "but if we divide here, we
will go home feeling that the fight Is over
and It Is no use to go further." He added:
"If I had to choose between Roosevelt and
Parker, I rather think I'd go fishing. Alton
B. Parker,, has no more chance -of being
elected than I have. As to Roosevelt's iloc
tlon, It' all over but the shouting. Parker
cannot be elected without Indiana und
thousand of Indiana democrats will never
vote for August Belmont Parker. When
Parker Is defeated, a he will be defeated
at 12 o'clock election night, William. J.
Bryan will again be the nndlsputed leader
of the democratlo party." . ,
Ex-Senator pale o( Phelps combatted the
remarks' of' .Harrington. He wanted th
party to be Independent In fact as well as
In' nam.

as an o'-d "war horse" brought forth some
little applause. Judg; Loomls spoke a

Wo concede to every democrat the rignt,

Tribute to Bryan.
Blnce you hurt met in state convention
the democratic party, ha held It national
convention. There our repreaenta lives
came together to diiCttss matters of great
party interest and public concern; and they
did discuss them. There were the great'
men of the east, and the south ana the
west. There, too, was that man of match
less courage, that Intellectual giant, that
moral Gibraltar, that-Niagara ot eloquence,
that greatest of all glaulators that ever
entered the political arena, the uncon
quered and ' unconquerable Bryan of Ne
braska. All the world knows that he was
there. A great convention! Ifea, ine great
est In the history of our country. A stormy
one? lee, for democrats think, and they
don't always think ailke, and when GreeK
meet Greek then comes the tug of war;
when flint strikes" flint the fire flies; but
when the majority haa once spoken their
word becomes, for tn time being, demo
cratic law. ....
Our convention ' adopted a platform - on
Which all who profess to be democrats can
unite; and it nominated aa our candidate
for president one of the brainiest and best
men of our country. Because the years of
his active life have mostly been pasned In
the halls of justice the general public ha
not known him tor half what he la worth,
but the legal profession has long recog
nised him as one of the ablest Judges on
any bench, and he will grow mightily in
puollo esteem as the campaign progresses
and the people tome to know him better.
On his private and public life there is not
a stain and his Judicial career commands
the admiration of all men. With a demo
cratic reverence, for the constitution of his
country he will never be a party to us
violation either In letter. or in spirit. With
a sincere love for our form of government
anu understanding cleariy the rights and
limitations of all of It branches, he will
never, as president. Invade the domain of
congress audi attempt- to enact legislation
by executive order. Believing that honor
and Justice should characterise our na
tional Intercourse with other countries, he
will not deem It necessary In our loreign
relation to tread lightly and carry a club.
Loving Justice as the guiding star of na
tional action and believing that the prin
ciples of common honesty are as binding
on nations as on. Individuals, he will not
make a treaty intended for the protection
of a weaker country an excuse for dis
rupting and despoiling It. Believing In the
JetTersonian doctrlne of friendships for all
nations, entangling alliance with none, 1
will not welcome-occasions to become em
broiled In the disputes of other countries
whereby we may possibly be drawn into
foreign war. ' Having a higher conception
of national morality than that might makes
right, be would not, Jiave tils count) y act
the part of an international freebooter, nor
conduct herself ' towards the sister repub
lics ot the Bouth-aoias to lose their respect
and Incur, their enmity. He would have
his country command the respect and ad
miration of the- world hy force of example,
rather thani byo-.toree' of. arms-; he. would
have It loved, for it. Justice, rather than
feared for Itswer.' . m, K s . -

would not be necessary. He thanked the
democrats 'of Nebraska for' the delegation
they sent to St. Louis. "We came back
feeling that we had done fairly well," he
said. "The delegation failed to get what
it wanted, but It got more than we ex
pected." He said the platform didn't hav
anything In It . the democrat could not
endorse. ',. .
The candidate, he said, wa not on whom
the delegation enthusiastically endorsed.
He told the democrat his part wa clean
and he had no doubt ot his course. "Whil
the candidate fall hort of th Nebraska
standard." he said, "the republican candi
date falls far horter. The platform de
serve the support of democrat If for no
other reason than th reason that it op
posed Imperialism' '
"The election of Judge Parker," he said,
would remove the menace of military domi
nation. . H believed the fight of WW wa
still oh and this belief he got at St. Loula
from the expression of delegates. If Judge
Parker wa elected hs believed the race
question would be settled without strife,
Hs said the election of Judge Parker and
the success of his sponsors would not pre
vent th triumph "pelf over principle."
la Plgkl for Parker.
"Ri.muu I believe my principles are
right I am willing to contribute all I can
to the election of a man whom I fought to
defeat, because I believe he will fight the
question of the future," he said.
While populist were oppoeed to th dem
ocratic national ticket, he said, there was
no reason why they should not unite on
state wsuee against a common enemy.
"There la no difference on state Issue," h
said, "and I hll be very much dlaap

Atll o'clock time dragged so that Edgar
Howard aecured a feces of thirty minutes,
though theae wa only a half convention
present to participate.
About half the delegate were able to show
up when Chairman Looml called th con
vention to order after recess.
Howard Ha a Scheme.
Chairman Hall of th committee on order
of business reported the populist order of
business and Edgar Howard moved that
this proposition be made to the populiats:
I'iniiThit the democrat name the gov
ernor and secretary of state and the pop
ulist ail other omoers.
Second. That the populists nam the gov
ernor and auditor and the democrat th
others.
The populist had- offered to donate to
the democrata th office of lieutenant
governor, ecretary of lat and, attorney
general. A number ot delegate spoke of
running bluff on th populists and not
make them two propositions at once. How
ard then withdrew his latter proposition.
A motion was then made to table the
Howard resolution.
A delegate from Hitchcock county made a
plea for th . populists' proposition and
Oeorge West of York wanted to stay a
week If necessary to nam a democratlo
candidate for governor.
Mr. liryan poured oil on the waters by
saying it made little difference what wa
done with the preliminary motions If It
brought around fusion. Mr. Bryan strad
dled well and spoka a good word for each
party. He thought It would do no harm
to try to get a democrat upon whom the
populists would fuse. Then he railed at
tention to the fact that five of the demo
cratlo congressional nominees bad been
eifdorscd by the populist. While not will
ing to give up Parker for Wataon, ha was
perfectly willing to give up the demo
cratlo candidate for governor.
M. F. Harrington of th populist con
vention headed a delegation that came In

CITY SAVINGS DANK, Uth & Douglas Sts.
Harrington announced with a few prelim
inaries that the populists had agreed to
give the democrats the lieutenant gover
nor, attorney general and secretary ot stats.
He then modestly claimed some ot the
credit for the democrat getting such a
bargain.
He then announced . that Ihe populist
had nominated for governor George W.
Berge of- Lancaster, to be In force and
effect when ratified by the democrat.
Following thl cam a story 'of tlus. debt
the democrata owed the pupujifts and a
plea for Berge.. Daring hit .remarks Har
rington said Berg stood with, Jefferson for
a graduated Income, tax and ..stood a Jeff
erson would have stood on federal owner
ship of railroads.
AdoptvConferrace Report.
Following ith Harrington plea, the prop
osition to table tfa Howard resolution wi
again taken up. Howard explained he had
Introduced hi resolution with good mo
tives and he said he spoke for. the strong
democratlo. communities as ; Harrington
spoke for. the -populist. He explained that
he wa afraid to go home, without having
made an effort to secure a democratic gov
ernor,, and ."were it not for th boys at
home." be said, "I would withdraw toy mo
tion." And he. did withdraw it with the
applause raising announcement that he
thought more of Nebraska than he did of
Mickey.
-Immediately n motlomof W. H. Thomp
son a vote of thanks wa tendered How
ard. Howard moved, that the decree of
the populists be accepted and that the
nomination of Berge be ratified. Thomp
son seconded the nomination.
A. C. Shallenherger, heretofre a candi
date for governor, though not a delegate,
asked permission to speak. He made a
plea for fusion, denounced the republican
state administration and national adminis
tration. He disavowed any ambition to be
governor and withdrew his name.
After several amendments were offered
and withdrawn and It looked like the
democrat would take their medicine grace
fully Howard himself withdrew his mo
tion to endorse Berge. The report of the
conference committee wa then carried
with a number yelling "No."
