remembered that HOC was the most

STKALIXO REPIBLICA THCRDER
Nebraska Daaasm(l Platforms Eekae
Obi Reaaklle,. Ueelarattaas.
Washington Tost (Ind ).
Tha platform of the Nebraska democrats.
framed by Mr. Bryan as a feeler of tha
country. Is plainly a dragnet designed to
catch all kinds of voters. It repeals many
of the paras raphs of tha Taft platform
adopted at Columbus not word for word,
of course, but meaning for meaning. Th
Ohio republicans favor "the prosecution of
Illegal trusts and of monopolies and of evil
doer, both In tha public service and In
th commercial world, together with tha
enforcement of all wholesome measures
which havs mad safer tha guarantee of
life, liberty and property." Th Nebraska
democrats favor "tha vigorous enforcement
of th criminal law against trusts and trust
magnates snd demand the enactment of
such additional legislation as may ba neces
sary to make it Imposslbl for prlvat
monopoly to exist In th United States."
This la tweedlede and tweedledum drawn
ta a fin point.
Th Taft republicans of Ohio favor re
vision of tha tariff; so da th Bryan dem
ocrats of Nebraska. The Taft supporters
shout for a "sound financial system" and
tha Bryan supporters echo tha shout. Both
sides favor th early completion of th
Panama canal, protection to th down
trodden working man. Impartial enforce
ment of law. Individualism, modification
of th law relating to Injunctions, an em
ployers liability law and a lot of other re
form calculated to hssteti the millennium.
Th campaign next summer svldently will
ba one of men and not of polklea. If th
Ohio and tha Nebraska platforms ar faith
ful harbingers any republican nominated
could atand without difficulty oa th dem
ocratic platform, and vtca versa. Since Ht.
Bryan haa tried talce to draw votes trom
tha opposition and failed, there la no t-a-eon
to suppose that b will accomplish th
fast next fall.

able financiers have declared such banks
will be of the greatest value to the bank.
