Kennedy peelarea Hltnself.
- In the Lincoln hall the applause was
unstinted and he was literally forced to
the platform. Chairman Kennedy re
viewed his record as state chairman and
defied any man of any party to point
out one Instance where the committee
bad failed to give a square deal.
"A year ago I took the chairmanship
f the state committee," said Kennedy,
"and we elected our whole state ticket
with an average majority of 10,000. I
stand now as I stood then, with you
squarely on the national republican plat
form. Never have I had more faith In
the republican party than today." And
Mr Kennedy told of a flva-day struggle tWe duIy chQien n
With the opposition upon Whom hefpublican convention assembled, reaffirm
fairly placed responsibility for the future
of the party.
. J. Halner of Lincoln, a former con
gressman, followed Mr. Kennedy and pro
tested his fealty. to the republican party
and its unchanging principles.
Victor Rosewater Speaks.
Victor Rosewater. lauded for aervice
rendered the state and nation at Chicago,
lit stirring speech declared that he had
no apologies to make to anyone. He
Said he had come back to Nebraska to
resrn under Governor Aldrlch how to
run a steam roller. He referred to the
governor as a man whose Intentions were
fees coarse than his performance. The
convention listened intently while the
Speaker told of a two-hour parley In
which the opposition had held out hopes
of a harmonious settlement of republican
differences In Nebraska, ,
"All we sought," said Mr. Rosewater,
"was an assurance that we might be al
lowed to vote for the presidential and
vice presidential nominees of -the re
publican party, but at the end of our wait
we were told that all negotiations were
off.' Tou know what happened at the
auditorium, where we were given no op
portunity to enter a motion or to appeal
from the chair, which apparently knew
not the difference between a temporary
chairman . and a chairman rapping for
order to turn over the convention to Its
regular officers. So we here formed a
regular republican convention to carry on
the campaign without shooting the party
, from the rear."
Judge Mapes read the list of delegates
as returned by the credentials committee
and reported no contests. This brought
a good natured laugh.
Committee to Saturn Records.
On motion of Judge Holmes of Lincoln,
a committee of seven was appointed to
procure the papers and books of the
tUte committee. They are J. L. Ken
nedy, A. B. Allen. E. J. Halner, E
Holmes and J. "Warren Kelfer.
Judge Reavls. of Falls City, during
a momentary lull In the regular order of
business told in glowing terms of the
splendid record of President Tuft whose
whole course he said . was a steadfast
adherence to high Ideals. The speaker
repudiated "standpattsm," and said
there was not a standpatter In the room.
He condemned Roosevelt as the arch-
destroyer of the republican party and
closed with a roar of applause.

S. A. Searles of Omaha, in a brief ad
dress, prophesied the return of the bull
moosers to republican ranks as soon as
the middle west realized that democracy
meant 10 cents for corn and cents
for hogs, tie said the middle west would
revolt from men who said: "We are
getting too much for our corn and cattle
and general produce of the land."
Resolutions Adopted
Just before the resolutions committee
reported its findings B. 8. Baker with the
caustlo sweetness of which he is master,
criticised the action of the bull moosers,
of whom he said they could not be re
publicans who had refused to allow a
republican convention to endorse repub
lican nominees. His words were soundly
cheered and he yielded his place to
Judge Slabaugh of Omaha who presented
the following resolutions:
our devotion to the republican party
ocmmencmir witn the administration or
Abraham Lincoln and coming down to
the administration of William H. Taft,
the party of free spench, free soli, and
free men, and the party of true progress
anJ achievement.
We pledge our support to the candidacy
of William H. Taft and James S. Sher
man and all the other candidates on the
republican ticket who uphold the name of
true republicanism and who subscribe to
and support the platform adopted at
Chicago by the convention and the can
didates of the convention.
With ill will towards none, we protest
sgalnst the use of tho republican name
by any assemblage which denies to re
publicans the right to 1oln with us in
furthering republican principles and re.
publican candidates as enunciated b
his and the national conventions,

B. F. Marshall of Omaha created a
stir when he arose after the Douglas
county vote was cast and announced that
his vote went with the majority under
the unit rule and that personally he
favored the plank.
"I want to say," he continued, "that
the Douglas county delegation does not
fairly represent the democracy of Douglas
county."
Mayor Dahlman did not appear in the
big tent for the evening session of the
convention at all. At his request, II. B.
Fleharty served on the resolutions com-
mlttce in his place. It was after midnight
when the convention adjourned.
In the afternoon W. H. Thompson.
"Little Giant" of Grand Island, was
elected chairman of the state central
committee over the present chairman, J.
C. Byrnes. The friends of Byrnes made
a stiff fight In his behalf, but wer
nerved for defeat which they saw com
ing and repressed their bitterness in a
desire for harmony. Byrnes, himself,
before the first ballot was announced,
moved that Thompson's election be mads
unanimous.
Heaolatloas Committee.
The committee on resolutions ap
pointed by Chairman W. H. Thompson
was as follows: H. K. Hanks, chairman,

Victor Wilson of Polk county Intro
duced a resolution demanding that the
party platform be adopted In the open
convention without the aid of a commit
tee, but on motion of ex-Senator Placek
of Wahoo, the Wilson motion was tabled.
Wilson then moved that when the com
mittee reported a platform, it be opened
for amendment and addition. The mo
tion was carried and the chair pro
ceeded to appoint the committee.
When a motion to adjourn and go to
the ball game was voted down. H. B.

were declared the state committee.
A motion of M. L. Corey of Clay
county seeking to allow the state com
mittee to select its own officers was
voted down.
Here the motion to adjourn until 7
o'clock was Introduced, this time by
Matt Miller of Davlfl City. A roll call
was necessary on the motion and it was
lost Many considered this as a move to
test the strength of the two factions, as
Lancaster county voted its full 58 aye
and Douglas voted Its 106 no.
Metcalfe In Chair.
A half dosen men were now on tbe
floor at once moving to proceed with
the nomination of a state chairman
Chairman Thompson immediately asked
R. L. Metcalfe to take the chair tem
porarily, knowing, of course, that his own
name was to be placed before the con
vention as a candidate.
J. J. Harrington of O'Neill placed Mr.
Thompson's name before the convention.
The nomination was at once seconded by
Logan, Lancaster, Johnson. Clay and
other counties.
Byrnes Friends to 'Fnre.
M. L, Corey of Clay county leaped upon
the platform, made a long plea for har
mony and finished by placing the name
of J. C. Byrnes before the convention for
re-election as state chairman.
"If you elect the best democrat In the
state." he said, "it will still be a direct
repudiation of Mr. Byrnes,"
This was answered by long, loud cries
of "No, no, no," from most of the dele
gations and notably from the Lancaster
county delegation, which had stationed
itself directly in front of the speakers'
platform. When the speaker spoke of
Champ Clark as the grAnd democrat
whom he had supported someone In the
great crowd cried out. "Clark needs to be
saved from such fellows as you."
W. D. Oldham of Kearney In second
ing the nomination of Thompson did
not confine himself to the praise of
Thompson, but took occasion to refer
to the present governor of Nebraska
as the "Psalm singing, Dogberry, hypo
critical governor."
He praised the work of all the state
chairmen within his memory, closing
with T. 8. Allen and J. C. Byrnes, but
said no weather was too cold, no stream
was so wid and turbiileat that "LlU'.i
BUI Thompson did not cross it to do
battle on the other side when the demo
cratic ranks needed his services there."
WlUls E. Reed of. Madison spolto iu
favor of the candidacy of Thompson.
E. E. Places: of Wahoo placed tn nomi-
tton N. J. Ludl of Wahoo as a com
promise candidate, but created no stam
pede. Arthur Mullen spoke in favor of
Byrnes.
When the roll was called and It was
seen that Thompson had a majority,
Byrnes took the platform and moved the
nomination of Thompson be made unan
imous. He said he expected to support Mr.
Thompson In his work throughout the
campaign Just the same as If he had
been elected himself.
Tom Allen at once moved a vote of
thanks to Mr. Byrnes for the able man
ner In which he had handled the work
of state chairmanship during his service.
It was carried. Mr. Thompson spoke
very briefly, saying ha knew he would
have the support of Mr. Byrnes In his
effort this fall, after which adjournment
was taken until 7:30, when the resolution
committee was to report.
PLATFORM OP THE DEMOCRATS
Docnment Comprehend an Immense
Prog-ram of Promises.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., July 3L-(Spe-clal
Telegram.) These are the resolutions
as presented to the democratic convention
bylhe resolutions committee:
U'vVe, the democrats of Nebraska In state
the democrats of the nation, and congrat
ulate them upon the good results at the
Baltimore convention in the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson for president and
Thomas B. Marshall for vice president
and in the adoption of a thoroughly good
progressive platform. We hereby ex
press our unqualified approval of the
nominees and of the platform.
We point with pride to ths leadership
Nebraska's democracy has taken during
the last eighteen years under the guid
ance of William J. Bryan. We congratu
late the democrats of the nation that
they had in Nebraska's distinguished
citizen, a man who dared defy the ele
ments that had wrecked the republican
Sarty and that sought at Baltimore the
estructlon of the democratic party;
that with superb courage he challenged
the right of those elements to dominate
In democratic convention and stood for
what he believed to be the interest of
"the folks at home;" that through his
leadership the convention at Baltimore
was transformed from what at one time
seemed to be a reactionary gathering into
a real democratio convention with real
democratic candidates standing upon a
genuine democratio platform. We cor
dially approve Mr. Bryan's course at Bal
timore ana we nearuiy commend mm to:
the course he adopted and we congratu
late him upon the magnificent victory.
We approve the work of the democratic
house of representatives and we heartily
commend the Nebraska democratic dele
gation in either branch of congress for
their faithful efforts to represent in the
votes that they have cast the demooratlc
sentiment of Nebraska.
Deals vrtth State Hatters.
We Invite attention to the fact that
these are Important problems of state
government and we pledge the best ef
forts of democratic members of the legis
lature and ether remocratlc officials to
the solution of these problems by tbe way
ot constructive legislation.
We favor the adoption of the proposed
constitutional amendment providing for
the initiative and referendum.
We favor the adoption of the proposed
constitutional amendment giving to cities
of morj than 5,000 population the privilege
of framing their own charters consistent
with the .constitution and laws of the
state. '
We favor the adoption of the proposed
constitutional amendment providing for
a board of control for the government of
state institutions, and we promise that the
democratic governor will appoint as
innmbers of the state board, men upon
whose integrity and capability the people
may re!v for economical and business
like conduct of all the affairs of the
state Institutions.
We favor zealous guardianship of ths
right ot the state to regulate common
carriers with relation to intra-state com
merce. "
We favor the passage of a 1w having
for Its purpose the abolition of vote trad
ing, commonly; called "log rolling," hi
the leglsature. - j
We favor a law requiring the governor
to' make publlo the names of all persons
who petition him, either verbally or in
writing, to approve or veto any measure.
We commend the last democratic legis
lature for the passage ot the Ollls stock
yards bill, and we promise such further
regulation of stock yards as the public
welfare may require.
We promise the faithful enforcement
of the anti-lobby law to the end that
such law shall no longer be a dead let
ter upon the statute dqok
... t . nt a law tatlnff
. . . i
a stats niKnway cubhiuowuh, m wiun w

thereby further the good roads movement'
W favor tne eignt-nour worn oay tor
all tollers, especially In the case of itate
and municipal work.
Our state is ncn in naiurai resources
not yet developed, a condition due to tho
lack of publlo knowledge of such wealth.
We therefore favor uoerei appropriation
by the legislature for the purpose uf
giving publicity to the state's resources.
Abolition of Monopoly.
w favor the enactment of a law di
recting and empowering the state uilway
commission to examine and audit the
bnnka and accounts or an pueuc service
corporations doing business within the
state, ana to limn tne earning power
of such corporations to reasonablu pro
portion of the capital invested.
We recognize In the merger of t.u tele
phone companies of the state an effct
to establish a complete telephone mon
opoly. We promise that our memher
of the railway commission will do every
thing in his power to see that liu tele
phone business is properly regulaUd and
that rates charged for telephone feet vires
are reasonable. We further promise such
additional legislation as may So neces
sary to protect the Interests of tho users
of telepho us in Nebraska.
We deplore the needless delay In the
disposition ut controversial Uiron(,-hout
ths courts ot the state and especially thht
of the jupra.re court, and pledge our can
didates .o the legislature It elecUJ, to
support suoh measures and endcaya.- to
erystallxe into law an act of the legis
lature which will result in the speeilter
disposition of cases In the higher coutta
of the state, and at the same time taiely
guard the rights of litigants.
New Scheme for Revenue.
Nebraska's awkward and Inequitable
taxation system should be replaced by a
twentieth century method. ' We favor,
therefore, taxation reform by separation
of the sources of the state and local rev
enues, thus giving to counties and towns
the privilege of enjoying the taxes from
purely local valuations. Land held for
speculative purposes and without im
provements ought to carry a larger share
of taxation than It now bears. To this
end we promise to submit to the vote
of the people a proposed constitutional
amendment enlarging tbs powers of thi
legislature with respect to the enactment
of the taxation system and then provide
for the selection of a commission whose
business it will be to Investigate and re
port for the consideration of the legis.
lature Its Idea of the taxation system
beet suited to Nebraska's popular needs.
Regulating Insurance.
We favor Insurance .reforms for "old
line," a well as tne fraternal companies.
We favor automatic benefit in case of
lapse of policies after three annual pre
miums have been paid. Securities in
which insurance reserves are invested
should be deposited with the state for
protection of the policyholders, and the
Initiative and referendum should begivsn
to fraternal organizations for tbe pro.
tection of the rank and file.
Recognising the growing demand for
sclentitrcally trained teachers to the end
that the best results may be raised from
the vast sums of money annually ex
pended for the maintenance ot our public
schools, we favor liberal appropriations
for our four state normal schools and
for normal training in the high schools,
we point with pride and approval to ths
fact that the last two democratio legis
latures appropriated more money tor
the permanent equipment of normal
schools than had been before expended
for like Durnose during the entire history
of the state. We pledge ourselves now
to the support of these institutions com
mensurate with their growth and de
mands. We point with pride to ou.- state uni
versity and agiicuitural college and favor

LINCOLN. July 31.-(Speclal.)-Follow-Ing
U the platform of the bull moosers:
In convention assembled, the republi
cans of the state of Nebraska reaffirm
the fundamental principles enunciated by
the ZSSSSr of tne Party. Briefly sate
these principles are: Individual liber ty.
equality of opportunity, and the right or
the Xle people to dictate the policies
of the government. Belief in, and ad
herence to these baslo principles, is the
only badge of membership In the republl
ran party, and the only true test of
fealty We deny the right of any indi
vidual or class of men to set as atand
ard of republicanism .the support of any
candidate, rather than adherence to these
fundamental principles.
We believe In a permanent non-partisan
tariff commission, and we demand
that those schedules of the present tariff
which have already been proven exorbi
tant be immediately reduced. We admit
that the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was not
a fulfillment of the platform pledge of
WOSV and we call upon the republicans
in congress to assist in speedily redeem-
'"whne'wel-eUev. in the strict enforce
ment of the Sherman anti-trust law, and
the prosecution ju& imprisonment oi n
violators thereof, we do not believe that
this 'will settle the trust problem, and
we believe that a nonpartisan Industrial
commission should be created with the
same power over the monopolistic trusts
that the Interstate .Commerce commission
has over tne raiiroaos - --
not believe that the common people of
the nation will permanently permit any
set of men to control the output of any
commodity as well as the price.
Res-nlattn National Conventions.
We believe that representation in the
national convention should be based
upon the republican votes and not on
population. We are unalterably epposed
to the arbitrary bossism ot any party
committee, either state or national,
whereby the will of the majority of the
party i subrogated to the will of tne
minority and we believe that tne rules
of the national committee should be so
amended that memberw electea vo the na
tional committee should take their seats
immediately upon election.. W fwtner

of the state central committee should

We believe that the people who elect
presidents have the right to nominate

speedily enact a general presidential
primary law. .

We csnnot ignore the fact that all over

in sending to the senate a nomination
for federal Judge, to send therewith all
the endorsements, written or ore', of

Some Universal Demands.
We believe in a thorough revolution of
our public road laws, looking to a more
efficient system of road administration
to the end that the farmers may have
better means of transportation from theii'
farms to the markets.
We believe In equal suffrage for women,
and we pledge the republican party oi
Nebraska to do all in Its power to bring
It about.
We object to the interference of federal
maries, and we believe that a law should
be passed taking the enttie postofflce
department out of politics.
We believe in the short ballot as neces-
BRANDEIS OLD
sary for the preservation of the direct
primary law.
We believe In the initiative, referendum
and recall, and the nonpartisan board
of control of our state institutions under
civil service regulations, and we call upon
the people of the state to vote for tho
constitutional amendment providing for
direct legislation.
The balance of the platform Is devoted
to state issues.
Senate Amendments
to Tariff Measures
Voted Down in House
WASHINGTON. July 3L-With machine-like
precision, the democratic house
today forced, over all opposition, three
tariff measures back upon the senate.
They were the wool ana sugar tariff re
vision bills and the excise tax bill, and
they were sent back with none of the
senate's amendments accepted. On the
wool bill no, conference was asked. Ths
house left it flatly to the senate whether
that branch desired to pursue the legis
lation further.
The senate tonight was in a quandry
as to what program it would adopt In
further consideration of the .three bills.
The regular republicans were reported
to favor a plan whereby they would ab
sent themselves from the chamber, thus
giving the democrats a chance to pass
the measures and send them along for
the presidential veto. The republican
"Insurgents," however, opposed this,
scheme and Instated that the differences,
where they are reconclliable, be threshed
out in conference.
Senate democrats, enjoying the repub
lican disagreement, will seek to take
advantage of it. Some concerted plan
u:
n
f action probably will te adopted to
morrow morning when the senate dem
ocrats caucus on the wool measure. It
1$ admitted that the whole tariff pro
gram will be discussed.
The wool tariff revision bill was the
first taken up In the house today. There
was virtually no debate, except a state
ment by Majority Leader L'nderwood
and a short reply by Representative
Payne of New Tork, ranking minority
member of the ways and means commit
tee. Motions by Mr. Payne and Repre
sentative Crumpacker of Indiana to con
cur In the senate amendments were voted
down. 159 to 78 and 172 to 5. The last
named vote automatically rejected the
senate changes.
