The right this fall in Ohio It Is gen erally acknowledged,' win be a hard one; but Mr, 'iaft feels that a convention made up of 1,200 delegate can Well be trusted to choose its candidates in Its own way. Mr. Taft has-been told that none of three avowed candidates, Car ml Thompson, War ren O.' Handing and d.'B. Brown, has a majority of the votes. This has led to the opinion tiiat a compromise candidate must be found, 1 ' The friends of James R. Garfield are hopeful that tha delegates may turn to him, but the state leaders Who are friendly to the administration, "and who will . write a strong endorsement of Mr. Taft and all of his acts in the platform,' declare that Mr. Garfield Cannot be' nominated. The only other "sprung" candidate who Is much talked of is Representative Nicholas Long worth.' It Is said, however, that Mr. Long worth much" prefers "to Temaln in congress and It will take a great amount of pres sure to fret him Into the state fight.

Law and Lawless County Option Leads Up to Prohibition and Substitutes Lawlessness for Law. Second .trelrle. To the Editor nf The H It was with some misgivings that I finally persuaded myself to do what I am now doing. But I snail not write for fanatics or politicians A man might as well deliver a temperance lecture to a man suffering from delirium tremens as try to reason with a fanatic The politician lines the fanatic for the at. talnment of his own selfish ends. The pres ent writer sddresses neither of the clssses. but spesks to the plain, common people. Now, all men of all parties have a com mon interest, and, disregarding the desires of fanatics and politicians alike, they should look to what will conserve the Inter est of the state as a whole. That prohibi tion will be a dead letter In a great part of the state, we firmly believe and have, I think, already shown. Nebraska Is not Maine, and Is not Kansas. Maine, on three of its sides. Is enclosed by custom houses; for a whole generation It had a barricade of two prohibition states on the other side. The people of the state are Spartan and Puritanical In their tastes and habits. With an interregnum of one year, they have had prohibition so long as I have lived; and It Is now a .part of their existence. Without stopping to discuss, at this Dresent mnm.nt whether it Is a good thing for them or not, I will simply say that the conditions In Maine are not the conditions In Nebraska. Kansas was settled In anti-slavery time by abolitionists from Massachusetts and the western reserve. These people were Ideal ists, who have always been ready to take up any fad that on Its face promised a bet terment of humanity. Their constitution did not allow a foreigner to vote until he was naturalised. On the other hand, the law of Nebraska allows a foreigner to vote if he has taken out his first papers thirty days before election, and has resided In the precinct or ward, countv and state th M. quired periods. This Inducement has brought into mis state a large foreign vote. The German has drank beer since the days of Oambrlnus. Calus Julius. Caesar, In his commentaries, describes the national drink of the Oerman, and It answers to lager beer. To force Puritanism upon these for eigners, would be like England forcing her tepoy soldiers In India to bite cartridges greased with lard and tallow. The Budd hist sepoy objected to biting the cartridges greased with tallow, because the cow which produced the tallow was sacred to Buddha. The Mohammedan sepoy objected to lard because the hog was unclean. These ob jections brought on the sepoy revolt In India. Perhaps the sepoys were foolish, but they had a right to be. The German as a rule Is not a drunkard. They all drink, but they are the most moderate drinkers I have ever met. Power of Cnstom. , You will make a failure In IrAVnritlna to legislate against a national custom. We have had plenty of experience In this state. For nearly a generation we have had the celebrated anti-treat law In Nebraska. The treating la the American's method tf .hnw. Ing his hospitality. Tou say it Is foollBh, and I grant it. But we i,iv . miserable failure of attemwlna to lritot. against It, and the whole thing should be wipea ort the statute book. We have In Nebraska the best civil damajre law ov eracted on the planet. Our supreme court nas construed this law rigidly against the seller of Intoxicants. In any community whf.ie liquor is sold each and every man who signs the bond at whether that dealer be a druggist or saloon- Keeper, is In a sense tha bondaman nf every other dealen in the town: We will suppose that there is one druggist and three saloonkeepers in a certain town an that a man goes to the drug store and gets a very light drink of brandy for an imagin ary. Illness, and then goes to two nt th. saloons and gets a small beer at each place; anerwaras ne goes to the third aawn and. In the popular vernacular, bowls up; men on his way home he falls ntt hi. wagon and breaks his neck. Any one of me dealers can be held resDonslbln tn hi. widow for his death. A widow ran r-.... irom a saloonkeeper, even thousrh aha i.j given him express permission to sell her nusoand liquor. But It Is useless tn .n through all the stringent provisions of the so-called Slocumb law and the atrina-.n constructions given, for these are familiar to nearly every man, woman and child in tne state. Safearnarda ReneaJed. Now. remember when we enact state-wide prohibition we repeal this Slocumb law, with all of it stringent Drovlsiona tnr o.ivii damages. All of the provisions of that law making a man liable for remote and conse quents! damages are purely statutory and do not exist In common law. Tha hnt. legger Is generally irresponsible, and, were ne otherwise, he could not be hed responsi ble for the remote and conseouental result of his traffic. Remember . again, for. I state what every good lawyer knows, that it Is the high license state like Illinota r Alabama which has held the llouor dealer to strict acoount. It la the prohibition state like Maine or Kansas which haa con strued the law In hla favor. The supreme oourt of Maine quashed an lndlotment against a liquor seller because the venire which summoned the arand Indicted him was not Impressed with the seal of the court which issued the writ. Let me contrast thla with soma nf tha rulings of the supreme court of Illinois for during long years I have run thaaa questions down thoroughly. In the early history of the state they had laws punish ing people for harborlna runaway alavra They had a democratic court then which was disposed to favor the slaveholder. That court held that a host was bound to know the character of hie xueet. and. nnn a. quently, a farmer who harbored a white woman over night and was Innocent of any knowledge that she was sn octoroon mnA a runaway alave was criminally liahia f- glvlng her shelter. Tears afterwards a re publican supreme court In passing on cases which involved the aelllnar of limine tn minors, cited these decisions and held that a liguor dealer was bound to know Tie Incapacity of his vendee, and. althnne-h tha person who purchased the liquor was six reel man ana had a beard, yet the seller was criminally liable. t . I hope the voters of Nebraska will nana and hesitate before they repeal the best liquor law In the American union and turn the state over to a lot of unnunnin fa. natlcs, herded by designing politicians.

That portion of Victor' Wilson's Interview with himself and his announcement of bis can didacy for railway commissioner which appeared in several state papers' of recent date In which be states that he promoted the company which laid out . the towns of Polk and Hordvllle, waa read by the people here with mingled feelings of sur prise and disgust. The only true portion of his statement relative to the matter Is that which he makes by Implication that Folk and Hordvllle were laid out by a com pany which Installed a system of water- urk. The facts are that this townaite company mas planned and organised by .

LINCOLN, July 18.-(Speclal.)-Follcw1ng Is the statement Issued by Richard L. Met calfe In accepting the filing by petition for the race for United States 'senator on the democratic ticket: . -- , In announcing my candidacy for United States senator, subject to the democratic and people's Independent primaries to be held August 1, I am responding to a call that has been made upon me by a large number of personal and political friends. It is true I would like to .represent Ne brrska In the United States senate, but I would not have entered the race unsolicited and I am acting now after the most thoughtful consideration on my own part and after consulting with democrats and populists In various sections of the state. I assume that In nominating their sena torial candidate the democrats and popu lists In Nebraska will select the man whom they regard as most available In, the con test to be waged against one ot'the mdst skilfull politicians ever elected by a west ern state to a seat in the senate. Should the men with whom I have affiliated for nearly a quarter of a century of Nebraska politics conclude that I am the available candidate I will make an active camoalan against my republican opponent and will do my best to win. V As reporter and political writer on the Omaha World-Herald from lm to 1896, as editor of the W-orld-Herald from 1896 to IU5 and as associate editor of the Com moner since 1806 my views on public 'aue Hons have been made known to the people oi iNBDrasKa.

Mr. O. M. Hlifki, M'.. W.""8 E- are both rich men. while I am a wage-earner. It will not therefore, be possible for me to make as active a contest for the nomination as these gentlemen will make. But I am not without confidence that from now until August 18 some of the men whom I have met upon the firing line and with whom I lave stood shoulder to shoulder In de fense of the very Drlnclnlea that popular today will lend me a hand so that I may not, after all. be greatly handicapped In the race. . I enter this contest "with malice toward none, with charity for all." I would not knowingly sacrifice one personal friend ship upon the altar of ambition. While I 8tla,"w ",ta.nd, ""o1"1' for the things in which I believe I grant to every other man the right to his opinion and respect It accordingly. I hope nothing shall occur to tarnish tbe fair friendship that has existed for many years between myself and the two good men who are opposing me. I shall try to so act that both Messrs.
