Robert Cralinni Nominated.
At tlio conventions of the democratic
nml people's independent parties, held
nt Crawford last Tuesday, Kobett
Graham of Alliance was nominated for
Representative of the 53d district. Mr.
Graham's nomination was unanimous
in both conventions,
In the opinion of T11H Hkrild, Mr.
Graham was the strongest candidate
who could be nominated. Able, honest,
and fearless in his convictions, ho will
make an ideal representative of the
people of the 53d tcprosentativo dis
trict. Mr. Graham is one of Western
Nebiaska's woll known stockmen and
his thorough know ledge of the wants of
this important element that is regulated,
by legislative action would mean in the
event of his election an uncompromis
ing champion of their lights. An
other commcndablo feature of Mr.
Graham's caiididac) is his wide knowl
edgejgjbf all ucstions portaming to
national and state legislation. This is
the ability u candidate for legislative
distinction t-liould possess and wo can
assure tfie voters of this district the
democratic and people's pai ties' stand
ard bearer is not lacking in this im
portant respect.
Mi. Graham's nonunatiou'a eamo
unsolicited and it wastluough thoeffoit
of his friends that he was placod in
nomination.
We publish on anothur page the
portrait qf Congtessinnn Hitchcock,
candidate for re-election from this
state. Mr. Hitqhcock is the well
known and able editor of the Omaha
World-Herald and very popular in
newspaper and political ciiclos. Mr.
Hitchcock is not only a Rood looking
democrat, but he is as good as he looks
when it comes to standing up for J offer
bonian principles.
The Democratic campaign toxt-book,
in hauling Senator Gallinger over the
coals as a "falsifier," says: "The total
alue of our manufactured goods sold
at home is not less than 6,000,000,000.
The alue of thaso same goods for ax
port is only 4,600,000,000, and the
difference botw 0011 these two amounts
(71,200,000,000) is what the American
people pay for protection." In othor
words, American goods uro sold in
Europe at one-quarter less than they
can be bought or by American con
sumers here at home. Is this to con
tinue forever?

The potato digging contest last Satur
day developed into afield trial. The judges
appointed failed to make any report owing
probably to a desire to live a short time
longer. Some thought one digger the best
and some another and the net result was
that it was an instructive test to those who
were present enabling them to tell which
digger suited each best. There was no
decision made which would help any one
not there to a choice.
