Though hi execution la set for Friday, no niova has been marls to save the Ufa of Bert Taylor. convicted of the murdwr of hi slater-ln-law, I'eral Taylor, age 1& years, at Minden In IWJti. Taylor today requeMed that Chief Jut-tlce Hcese and Governor Hhallenberger visit lilni In liia cell, a he had a statement to make. In tha absence of the governor, Secretary lAirse visited Taylor and talked with him. The condemned man simply repeated what he had said before that he did not commit the murder, but that one Jake Martin waa th guilty man. Martin, he aid, met him on the street the night of tha murder and went with him to his home. After talking together. Taylor said. Mar tin left him and was gone for an hour and a half. Than ha came back to the house and teld Taylor that he had committed the crime for which Taylor Is now to pay the penalty. Taylor told Mr. Furse that he had been tied up at tha home by Martin, but finally managed to escape and followed him into Kansas, .then Into Colorado. In Celnrsdo the train waa wrecked and a man supposed to be Martin was found dead beneath tha wreckage. Taylor wrote two Jotters, to be given to the governor. Both of these letters are In coherent, and tell of a "control machine" which exercised its powers over the con demned man. I'ndec the law if Insanity proceedings are started It will be necessary to file the petition In tha oounty where the crime waa committed, but so far as heard from, na papers have been filed. Taylor has made no appeal to the governor other than sending hlra tha two letters today. He told Mr. Furse .that he very much ob jected to dying a( this time and from tha penitentiary it was learned that Tay lor baa about - lost his nerve and may break down at the last minute. Uaara for Ak-Sar-Hea. The movement to have the National Guard of Nebraska camp at Fort Omaha next fall during the Ak-Har-Ben festivities la already under way and an effort will be made also to have a portion of the Iowa guard take ' part In the military maneuvers at that time. Adjutant General Hartlgan ia working on the matter and while ha may not be at the head of the guard at that time, 'before he goes out of effiee ha expects to have the arrangoments so far made that there will be na doubt of the scheme being carried out. General Hartlgan believes that the ex pense to the state will be. practically noth ing, except possibly railroad fare from Ash land to Omaha. His plan Is to have the annual encampment -held st Ashland and move the troops from Ashland to Omaha for two days. Breaking and making camp, ho says, ia work that the guard needs and tha kind of work that brings good results. Hla idea la simply to have the troops break camp at Ashland, go to Omaha, remain In ramp there a. couple of days or so and then go baok'to Ashland. This' can be . done, ha say a. at very little expense If any expense at all to the state. Aaoolatmeat Delayed.

QRESHAM The democratic candidates for senator and oounty representatives from York county have announced that 1 they are against county option. Their , many friends In York county and many leading democrats are taking no Interest in tha campalgu of Judge Oood, the demo- 1 cratic nominee fur congress, because of the fast and loose way Oooil Is straddling the oounty option Issue. They claim that In localities wnere there Is a strong senti ment against county option Oood claims that he is with them, and when he strikes such localities as York oounty, then Oood gets out his temperatnee dope and claims to be against county option. Candidates from York county for the legislature on the democratlo ticket have eome out against county option, and the familiar acrobatlo tactics of their candidate for congress havj disgusted so many that a number consider scratching Good. Ialka for t'oaaty Optloa aad Says He Will Be a Governor of the People aai Mot of Any Special Interest. Chester H. Aldrich, republican candidate for governor of Nebraska, begun his sec ond day's campalcn work In Omaha by a noonday address to S"0 business men In the Commercial club rooms. One of the results of the Commercial club address was effective removal of the Impression that Mr. Aldrich Is arrayed against Omaha. He showed where com mon bond links city and state and pointed plainly that each needs the other. His evening round began at .Magnolia hall, Twenty-fourth street and Ames avenue, ten minutes after 8 o'clock, where he de livered an address which brought a tumult of applause from a packed house. Then Mr. Aldrich was whisked away in an automobile and at 9 o'clock he was bring ing cheers from another big audience In McKenna's hall. Sixteenth slid Locust streets. Shortly before 10 o'clock he was addressing a still larger crowd In Muel ler's hall. Seventeenth and Vinton streets. 1 Mr. Aldrich arrived In Omaha at o'clock Monday morning. Between that time and midnight Tuesday, when h tumbled Into bed, he had delivered seven teen speeches speeches, not mere talks Interviewed hundreds of business men, clambered through the Intricate maze of South Omaha stock pens, climbed a hun dred or more of stairways on side streets where buildings as yet are innocent of elevator service, grasped the hand of per haps 6.000 Douglas county voters, dictated a voluminous array of correspondence, be sides dispatching a budget of miscellaneous obligations such as spring up here and there along the pathway of the strenuous candidate. "I am feeling fine," said Mr. Aldrich at the close of his Vinton street speech, "and now that I am started, I wish I had half a dozen more speeches to make." Stand aa t'oaaty Option. Judge Ben S. Baker, Fred D. Wead and Byron Hastings accompanied Mr. Aldrt.h from place to place last night. Soon after his Introductory remarks In the Ames avenue hall, Mr. Aldrich delved Into a dis cussion of the county option question. He explained that county option Is Just what its name Indicates a plan by which the people of any county may determine for themselves whether or not they want liquor sold. "Men." he exclaimed, "do wo want to rule the state of Nebraska ourselves we, the people or do we want to appoint the brew eries of the state our guardians. Last year tha dty of Omaha sold 112,000,000 worth of agricultural Implements. Where did they go? Out Into the great state of Nebraska, mainly. Other wholesale trade aggregated approximately 1190.000,000. And the greater part of that trade went out Into the state of Nebraska. Thus we see that city and state are Interdependent they are bound by a tie of common Interest. As Nebraska prospers, so does Omaha prosper. So you see, my friends, I am not hostile to Omaha, as has been erroneously reported in cer tain peals of campaign thunder. "But now to get back to the county op tion question again. I have given you soma figures concerning the Volume of Omaha's wholesale trade. I have told you about the agricultural Implements and other eommodltlesighat Omaha sella to the state. And now 'I' am going to tell you that tha whole brewery product of Omaha, measured In dollars and cents. Is but little more than one and one-half per cent of the aggregate of other wholesale lines. Ana ) t there are some w ho w ould allow the breweries and the liquor interests to choote the governor of this imperial state. "I ask you. nun. do you want to elect the next governor, or do you wish the breweries ulul other special Interests to do It for you? Don't you really believe that 1 the people are capable of governing them- j selves without heeding the dictation of spe- j clul Interests? ; What He Pronalees. I "When I sin elected governor I shall be j governor for the whole people, and I shall not consider it my right to veto any proposition that is hacked by a majority ' of the votrrs. Everybody shall have all i that they are entitled to. and" j "We democrats have got what we want ! now," shouted a strident voice from the 1 rear of the hall. Mr. Aldrich stnllod at the Interruption and shouted back: "Yes. and are you ra! sure that you are I'roud of what you've got?" There came no answer, and the speaker proceeded. Torching briefly upon several other topics which are considered issues in the rrtmpa'gn Mr. Aldrich reluctantly I cloud In order thnt he might go to his other appointments. Out In the street elbowing his way to the automobile a crowd surrounded Mr. Ald riih Intent upon shaking his hand. Reaching' the Locust street hull, It was with difficulty that Mr. Aldrich. .Indite Baker and ' others of the purty worked their way to the rostrum. The crowd had waited over an hour for the coming of the candidate and the hall was packed to the limit. "1 want to talk to you about personal liberty." said Mr. Aldrich, soon after he had mounted the rostrum. "You hear a Kreat deal about personal liberty these days. Some people are so afraid they are going to lose their personal liberty that they aa dashing about the state In auto mobiles at breakneck speed telling the people what dire results will follow the elimination of personal liberty. Personal Liberty. "Now, my friends, I want to tell you that my Idea of personal liberty Is that kind of liberty which gives every man the liberty of making the most of himself, that kind of liberty which makes of him a better citizen, that kind of liberty which makes for better government, for mora school houses and fewer almshouses." Then the speaker reiterated in part his , hitherto expressed Idea of county opvlon. bringing out the fact that In Kentucky, where the greatest distilleries of the world are located, oounty option has proven suc cessful; that the people of Kentucky have settled the liquor question to suit them selves, and that now every county In the state Is dry except twelve. If Douglas county wants saloons county option makes It possible. If some other county does not want saloons county option makes It possi ble. And so It goes county option Is merely the voice of the people of each respective county. Let the majority rule." "More! Morel" shouted a score of voices as the candidate closed In the Locust street hall, but the voice of Judge Baker rose above the din and his mandate Vinton streetwards was without appeal. For Organised Labor. The Vinton street audience was composed largely of laboring men. "Yes, I am for organised labor," said tha speaker, "and the reason why la because If the labor pepple do not take care of them selves, nobody else Is going to do It for them. When I was In the senate I was Instrumental In the passage of several laws In the interest of labor, and I have never had cause to regret my action. I believe- If an employe of a railroad Is killed while In discharge of duty tha railroad company should rot be allowed to aay that the man's life Is worth only SS.OOO. I be lieve. If through the negligence of a fellow servant an employe Is killed or maimed. It Is the obligation of the corporation em ploying those fellow aervants and that the act should be taxed against the employer." HAl.r'-MlMTK HTOIIK TALK "This certainly Is some store" said a traveling 11111 yesterday. "Or itnsrv st. nes nuist have a lot of apologising to do. Don't see how anvone would ele-M to Imv rlothes In Mich stores, when tliey can come Into a store like this, select such clothes ah you sell, stul enlo men service as this More offers." It does seem strange thst some people slwnvs feel contented with the common place thing of life. 1 rrl"00El Jfx -TBI IOH1 Or C0ALITT CXOTsIBa- It is just as easy To wear good clothes ns it is to wonr the other kind.

REALLY GOOD SUITS $10, $15. $18, $20, $25 to $40. REALLY GOOD OVERCOATS $10 to $50. liid Passing from the labor question. Mr. Aid rich touched at length upon the other gen eral Issues entering Into the campaign. His Vinton street speech was of longer durstlon than either of the others, due to the fact that he had no other appointments to make and therefore was not forced to hurry. Not onoe did he Indulge In any abuse of his opponent. Not once did he sling mud. On the contrary, he held aloof from per sonalities and sought to Impress his hearers that while he is a republican and is the regular nominee of his party, there are Issues In this campaign which are of a nonpartisan nature, and which render It necessary for voters to rally for clean gov ernment regardless of party affiliation. Many democrats were present at each place and as a rule they listened respectfully and with evident Interest. Mr. Aldrich leaves Omaha this morning for Oakdale, where he speaks today. this matter at once, so aa to enable then to begin work on their new depot at once. They agreed If this street was vacated t build a subway under their track at Ninth street, after raising their tracks five feet; maintain and ' light this subway as long as the city might desig nate.
