LINCOLN. Oct. a. 4 Special.) 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.

Physicians attending young Roliert
Sweeney, the hoy who shot himself in
school yesterday, state that he Is doing well
and unless complications set In will entirely
recover from his self Inflicted wound within
a few week. Young Sweeney, who Is shout
17 years of age. shot himself during school
hours at the Huffslo school near .Spring
field. The report of the revolver threw
the school Into great confusion, but as soon
ax possible the teachers. Miss Mnxficld and
Mls Stratman, summoned assistance and
a physician from town arrived within a few
minutes. Sweeney was at once conveyed
to his home a mile distant. In an automobile
and upon arriving walked unassisted from
the road to the house, a distance of fifty
yards. Dr. Lord of Omaha was called and
decided that it would not be advisable to
probe for the bullet, as from Its probable
location It would not be likely to cause any
trouble. Young Sweeney used a 22-callber
revolver In hla attempt to end his life and
(june very near being successful, as the
bullet passed but a fraction of an Inch be
low the heart. He gave no explanation for
his act further than stating that he had
a reaon. From all that can be learned It
Is probable that his attempt to kill himself
waa the result of a boyish love affair, or
possibly 111 health, as he has not appeared
to have been at himself physically of lata.
Robert Sweeney Is the second eldest son
of Mr. and Mrs. John Sweeney, prominent

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."
