I desire to announce to tlie people of
Box Butte county that I nm the regu
lar nomine of the second district for

The question of "a dollar a day is
enough for a workingman" is causing
the republican managers all kinds of
alarm. Taft's indiscreet utterance in
this respect is causing them days of
worry and nights of sleeplessness.
And now Win. Taft has been com
pelled to renounce his former declara
tion that he would not leave home to
make campaign speeches, and will take
to the rails in his attempt to stein" the
tide of popular expression that he shall
not be elected president.
Count do Toulouse-Lautree was re
' ccntly'arrested in Antwerp for cashing
bogus coupons. He protested on the
ground that he was an American citi
' izen, but we are willing to let the mat
ter drop if they will agree to keep the
distinguished and' long-named gentle
- man on the other side of the Atlantic.
Republican guarantee of reforms are
loud and numerous before election, but
thereafter soon forgotten. The prom
ise of reducing the tariff is a sham as
is also the promise to secure the de
positors of the banks. How can a
voter rely on a party that constructs n
platform' to rend one way and has a
candidate who avers Hint be will do
directly contrary to what it implies?
Willie HearBt, the father of the new
independent party, created to assist in
attacking the demociatic vmrty this
year, made a. speech labor day at Dav
enport in which he intimated that Win.
J. Bryan was not a triend of the labor
ing man. Willie had not n word to
say against Judge Taft, the father of
injunctions. This alone is sufficient
evidence where Hearst stands politi
cally, but there is little fear that lie
will fool the laboring man.
The Herald's Shakespearian quota
tions are questioned by our contemp
orary, the Alliance Times, but no dis
pute is made as to the correctness of
this paper's statement that Candidate
Judge Taft is the originator of labor
injunctions and the assertion that a
dollar a day is enough for a woi king-
man, and these are the points at issue
today. "The man with the hoe" does
not take issue as to whether Shakes
peare said this or that, but he is vitally
interested in the utterance of the re
publican nominee for president when
his day's labor and his American free
dom &re in jeapordy.
The democratic national campaign
text book is printed and ready for dis
tribution. The price is 25 cents, and
it can be secured from national head
quarters or at this office. It is by all
odds the most complete volume of its
kind ever given out by a political party.
It is along new lines and gotten up in
an interesting manner. As a rule, pol
itics makes dry reading but this is not
the case with this text book. It is in
teresting from cover to cover and at the
same time treats on every important
subject that is involved in this cam
paign. It is also profusely illustrating
in cartoon and color work.
W. J. Bryan was the speaker at a
monster labor day meeting in Chicago,
w hen he laid before his audience facts
that appealed most interestingly to
their minds. The platforms of the
two loading parties were analyzed and
amoug other things the following was
said: "There are two questions, how-
ever, intimately connected with the
labor problem upon which the demo-
cratic and republican parties do not
agree, and I not only feel at liberty to
discuss these, but, under the cirtum-
stances, I have no right to ignore them.
One relates to the issue of injunctions.
The republican convention did not deal
candidly with the laboring man on tho
writ of injunction. Secretary Taft has
endeavored to amend his plalfonn in
this respect and to mnke some promises
which are not supported by hia plat
form, but his promises offer nothing
substantial in the way of reform, and
arc not binding on republican senators
and members. The republican con
gress has made a record on labor ques
tions, and the republican party can
not escape from that record."
Follows Bryan's Moves.
Win. J. Bryan left Lincoln at 4
o'clock Sunday afternoon over the
Rock Island tor Chicago and thus be
gan a three weeks' campaign tour which
will carry him into the middle west,
the eastern states and back through
the west into South Dakota before re
turning home. Perhaps no recent
news afforded the democratic candi
date for president so much interest as
the announcement that Mr. Taft pro
posed making a campaign tour. Mr.
Bryan regarded his opponent's decision
as a distinct vindication of bis course
in the present, as well as his two pre
vious campaigns, when he traveled
over the country and delivered political
speeches. When asked if he had any
comment to make on the subject, Mr.
Bryan said:
"Well, I am getting a great deal of
consolation out of the way the presi
dent and Mr. Taft have been doing. I
use to be called hard names because I
advocated an income tax, and now the
income tax has been endorsed by the
president and Mr. Taft. I used to be
bitterly denounced because I favored
railroad regulation. Now the president
and Mr. Taft have brought that reform
into popularity, and I am no longer
considered dangerous.
"I'tised to get a good deal of criticism
because I favored tariff reform, but
now tariff reform has become so urgent
that Mr. Taft is williug to have a spe
cial 3ession culled immediately after
inauguration to act on the subject. It
used to be that when I talked about in
dependence for the Filipinos I was told
told that the American flag never came
down when it once went up. Now we
have a republican candidate for presi
dent who believes that the Filipinos
must ultimately have independence.
"But I have reason to rejoice over
the fact that some of the things I have
done are viewed in a more favorable
light. When I made some phonograph
recotds in order that I might discuss
political questions befote more people
the republican papers ridiculed me and
called it undignified, but Mr Taft lift
ed the phonograph to an eminence by
talking into it himself.
"And now my greatest sin is to be
made a virtue by imitation. Surely
'imitation is the siucerest form ol flat
tery.' When I went out campaigning
in 1896 and 1900 they said it was dem
agogic to run around over the country
hunting for votes. Now it is eminently
proper since Mr. Taft is going to do it,
and I hope the republican papers will
make due npologies. They said, in
180G and 1900, that I was scared when
I made speeches from the rear end of
a train, and I was, and the results
showed I hnd reason to be. I have
been wondering whether this explana
tion would be given when Mr. Taft
starts out, and whether the result will
be the same with him that it was with
me.
' It is hard for us to keep our patents
from being infringed upon this year. I
am afraid they will try to raise a cam
paign fund by popular contributions."

Lincoln, Nebr., September 7. The
Democratic Campaign Text-Book is now
ready for delivery, and may be had by
sending twenty-five cents to the Text-Book
Committee, care democratic national head
quarters, Auditorium Annex, Chicago.
And it is well worth sending for, John
E. Lamb of Indiana, Josephus Daniel of
North Carolina and Richard L. Metcalfe,
editor-in-chief of the Commoner, were the
members of the Text Book Committee,
but Mr. Lamb and Mr. Daniels cheerfully
admit that Mr. Metcalfe performed the
bulk ol the work, The national committee
is a unit in declaring it the best Text-Book
ever issued by the party. It is crammed
full of interesting facts and figures, pre
sented as only a first-class newspaper man
can present them in printed page form.
Last Friday night Mr, Bryan was shock
ed to learn of the sudden death of Alexan
der Troup, editor of the New Haven
(Conn.) Union. For the past twelve
years Mr. Troup has been one of Bryan's
closest friends and most trusted advisors.
The friendship between these two men
has often been remarked, for they were
men of almost identical ideas. Mr. Bryan
was overcome when the news reached him
and was unable at the time to give ex
pression to his high regard for the dead
editor. Mr. Troup has been high in the
councils of the party in the east, and the
New Haven Union Mas admittedly one of
the strongest of the democratic dailies on
the Atlantic coast.
Herman Kidder, editor of the New
York Staats Zeitung, called at Fairview
last week and brought glowing reports
of the political situation. According to
Mr. Ridder, New York is already in the
democratic column, the republicans losing
ground every day.
"Democrats were never so united as
they are now," said Mr. Kidder, ''and
every day sees an increase-.in enthusiasm
and determination to give New York's
electoral vote to Bryan and Kern. ,The
leaders are engaged in a good-natured
contest to see which can do most for party
success."
Mr. Ridder was on his way home from
a brief visit to the Pacific coast, and he
said the situation in that section was most
encouraging.
"It looks like victory, and it looks better
every day," said Mr. Ridder.
Last Thursday Governor Crawford of
South Dakote spoke at the, state fair
grounds in Lincoln, making a radical re
publican speech. It was the big day of
the fair, 35,000 people passing through the
gates. Governor Crawford spoke to about
3,000 people. On Friday, the last day of
the fair, Mr. Biyan spoke The attend
ance on Friday was less than 12,000 owing
to the closing of the fair and the tearing
down of the exhibits. Mr. Bryan's speech
was non-partfcan. and he spoke to 6,000
pecple all who could get within seeing
and hearing distance ol the stand in the
big auditorium.
'This is mentioned merely as a "straw."
Speaking of "straws," have you noticed
in anv of the big republican dailies any
reports of "straw votes" on railroad trains?
Four and eight years ago these papers
were forever giving the results of "straw
votes," but they were all favorable to the
g.o.p. then. The absence of these vote's
this year is noticeable and it is a safe bet
that if they were not unfavorable to the
g.o.p. the administration organs would be
full of them
A Nebraska banker called at the Com
moner office last week and it so happened
that several of the eastern correspondents
were present.
"Can you give me, oS hand, the names
of any men who have heretofore been vot
ing the republican ticket, but who are
now supporting Bryan?" asked one of the
correspondents.
"Yes, sir; I can," was the banker's re
ply. "Four years ago of the seven bankers
in my town I was the only one who sup
ported the democratic ticket. This year
five out of the seven are supporting Bryan"
and the banker gave their names. "There
are five ministers in my city," giving their
names, "and all five of them have always
voted the republican ticket. Not one of
them ever supported a democrat for presi
dent until this year. Now four of the five
are supporting Bryan, openly and enthusi
astically." And the banker gave the
names of the four. Then he proceeded,
offhand, to name a dozen or more repub
licans who are today supporting Bryan.
The correspondent was convinced.
Forty editors of as many official organs
of trades unions attended a conference in
Chicago on September 1. They decided
that the interests of organized labor de
manded support for the democratic plat
form and ticket. Of the forty editors
present only two dissented from this deci
sion, and these two favored, independent
political action the formation of a labor
party."
Here are two or three samples o'f how
the tariff is "fixed'' in the interests of the
rich:
The man in humble circumstances who
is compelled to buy the cheaper grades of
flannel underwear finds that the grades he
buys is taxed 144 per cent. The fine
grades of flannel underwear are taked 86
per cent.
The ordinary grades of woolen blankets,
such as the average workingman buys, are
taxed 1C5 pef cent. The extra fine grades,
such as the rich and well-to-do buy are
taxed 71 percent.
Knit fabrics worth 36 cents a pound are
taxed 141 percent; those worth $1.07 per
pound are taxed 96 per cent.
The tarrifl is a tax on consumption, and
the burden falls heavier upon the poor
man than upon the rich, for the simple
reason that the necessities of the one are
the necessities of the other and the poor
have least to buy with and pay the most
tax in proportion.
The simple downright truth of the po
litical situation is that the managers of the
democratic campaign dare not believe the
reports that come to them they are too
good. The managers are simply dazed by
the rosy reports that come from every
quarter. There are scores of things that
are having a bearing on the present strug
gle, one of the chiet being the bank guar
antee issue. This is especially strong in
the west. The tariff issue is cutting a big
figure in the east, and strange as it may
seem, a lot ol manufacturers, who are
working up an export trade, are foremost
in demanding tariff revision along' demo
cratic lines. The union labor vote is
tending solidly towards Bryan. Another
influence is at work that it may not be well
to mention, but it is heard on every side,
discussed quietly. It meuns thousands of
votes.
Mr. Metcalfe, who has just returned
to Lincoln from a three weeks' visit in
Chicago, where he was consulting with
the democratic managers, says the auvices
from all sections are simply amazing in
their uniform optimism.
While in St. Paul last week Mr. Bryan
stepped into a music store and asked to
have a phonograph grind out some of his
own and Mr. Taft's speeches. Mr, Taft's
sMech was run-first and Mr. Bryau'.lisjenj
ed with interest. Then one of his own
speeches was put on the cylinder and Mr.
Bryan listened with a smile. When his
own speech was concluded Mr. Bryan
turned to the throng about bim and with a
broad smile on his face said:
"Gentlemen, I am now convinced."
Another "straw:" One day last week
the writer "snuck away" from work and
ran down to his old home in Missouri for
a day's fishing. While there he talked
with an old friend, a democrat, who pro
ceeded to give the situation in his own lo
cality. He gave the names of thirty-five
republicans in that one.county who were
supporting Bryan. Of the thirty-five, the
wi iter knew twenty-five personally, and
knows that they have always been staunch
republicans.

By WILLIS J. ABBOT.
The real political sensatlou of the
week In Democratic circle has been
fthe wholly unexpected growth of the
demand for the guaranty of haul; de
posits as provided In the Democratic
Intform. I think but few public men
aside from Mr. Bryan himself had nuy
(conception of the wildfire way In
which this Issue would sweep the agri
cultural states of the middle west. A
(prominent 'Washington official, a Re
publican, who was in my office the
lother day said thnt he had bcci travel
ing through Kansas and Ve'iraska and
found the people, Includ ; the bank
ers, earnest Ip t'iclr do : id for the
adoption of this plan. In Kansas the
Republican stnlo convention has put
the proposition lu Its platform, thereby
presenting the phenomenal spectacle
of the party In tho state taking sharp
Issue with tho position of the party In
the nation. Secretary Taft. who eer
jtalnly seems to have the courage of
hls convictions, bitterly denounced the
'project In a speech which by n curious
coincidence was delivered on the same
day thnt Hie Republican convention in
Kansas met and adopted it.
Tu 11c. of the matter Is that the

those In the neighboring state which
afford a security prescribed by law. If
Kansas adopts the system, as it doubt
less will when Its next legislature
meets, Nebraska will follow suit. The
plan will proceed from state to state
until the whole tier of agricultural
states bordering the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers have adopted It. This
lis not mere Idle speculation, but it is
rtho well founded opinion of travelers
land correspondents who have visited
those states since the Denver conven
tion. The Republican pnpera In the
larger cities and In the east recognize
the danger of this issue and are con
centrating their tire upon It. The Dem
ocrats welcome these attacks and re-
Holee that the utterances of both Sec
retary Taft and President Roosevelt
have mnde the Issue Hqunrely on this
point.
One Attack Confuted.
' Recently through some political
agency most of the big city dailies
printed an article to the effect that the
ystein of bank deposits had been
tried In New York state ami failed
The authority cited wus 11 certain his

think that the experience of eighty
years ago. before the banking system

But. even If It were. Investigation
fallows that the cases tire not parallel,

method which naturally would lead to

evoti us It was It worked successfully
ifor 11 number of years. And even In the
panic of 1837 none of the banks lu this
(combination went down. About 1840,
however, some of them failed, and the
law was amended so that the accumu
lated fuud could lie used for the pay
pent of other creditors than the hold
ers of notes. The fund proved insuf
ficient for this purpose, and the whole
;ilan was abandoned. The New York
Commercial, the dally exponent of
Wall street views. Is curiously enough
the one paper there defending the
fiank deposit plan. It was the agency
through which this particular canard
was explained away.
Frying the Fat.
A recent occurrence In the western
headquarters of the Republican nation
al headquarters gives an Illustration
for the need of complete publicity. The
assistant treasurer of the committee,
stationed at Chicago, sent out n letter
iddressed to corporations all through
Illinois and adjacent states soliciting
contributions. With calm effroutery
and amazing frankness he Informed
jthe corporations that a law on the
ptntute books enacted by tho Republic
an party prohibited the solicitation of
Ifunds from corporations, but that Indi
viduals connected with the corpora
Jlons could contribute as they saw fit.
!'.ut these letters were not addressed to
3dl IdtmU, not eveu to the responsible
presidents of the corporations. The;,
(wore sent addressed to the corporation
ptself by name and constituted a de
scription of tho way In v.hkh the law
might be Jointed.
Rut. more than this, this collector
of campaign funds, this frier of fat
nut if the corporations of Chicago and
vicinity, happens to be president of
the board of review of Cook county.
What that means Is that an Individual
or n corporation that feels the assess-'
nient too high has to appear before
this board of rerlew to seek Its reduc
tion. Coutd tncre be a mora acao
daloun situation than that the man
who Jidda in his hand power to ratsa
cr lowi r assessments Bbould be collect
ing n campaign fund for the Republic
an party?
The Musio of the Campaign.
Campaign songsters are common
enough, but it isn't often that we havo
a successful politician and a governor
of a state who writes his own songs
for campaign purposes. Governor Boh .
Taylor of Teunessee. now United
'states senator, has long diverted his
audiences by playing the fiddle be
twecn speeches. But Governor Has
kell of Oklahoma beems to have rath
er eclipsed him by writing his own
Wongs nnd drilling the glee clubs that

well known music of the "Star Span

Labor In Politios.
A thoroughly well Informed labor
editor of this, city estimates today, that
85 per csnt 01 i onlzed labor1 vote
of tha L'nl'cd Kta.es is for the Demo
cratic tlc'ft. iut he also hazards the
prophecy that by the methods of pur
chase and of coercion the Republican
party may materially reduce this per
centage before the day of election.
Yet It is a fact that never before In
the history of fie Democratic party
has there been apparent so widespread
a determination on the part of work
lngmen to vote that party's ticket
And the student of political affairs
who wonders how the election may
come out must not ignore the enor
mous Influence exerted by the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, led by Sam
ucl Gompers. In the last number of
the Fedoratlonlst, the organ of that
labor organization, I find this as tho
text recommended for the political
guidance of all members of the federa
tion: "We now call upon the workers of
our common country to stand fulth
fully by our friends, oppose and defeat
our enemies, whether they be candl
dates for president, for congress or
other ollices. whether executive, lej.
latlve or Judicial."
Onl. In Mr. Gompers' editorial are
upeclllc names used. But no one who
wishes to understand the divergent at
titude of the two parties toward the
rights of labor should fall to get the
American Federatlonlst for September
and read It with care. Such an ex
pression as this, coming from tho bend
of nu organization numbering 4,000,000
worklngnien. Is of vital Importance:
"The Republican party and Its can
didate for the presidency, Mr. Taft,
have spoken. Where labor Is not Ig
nored it is either Insulted or the aim
is evident to rivet the chains of in
Justice still more firmly upon tho
masses of the tollers.
"The Democratic party and Its can
didate for the presidency. Mr. Bryan,
have also spoken. The latter give ab
solute assurance lu their declarations
of nil that labor asks. The working
people and their friends and the pub
lic spirited public can elect the candi
date of the party which has made la
bor's contentions for Justice its own.
Real Independence iu this campaign
consists in the workers voting for this
candidate."
If Mr. Gompers' posltiou may seem
extreme, it Is illuminating to give the
list of labor leaders who in the same
number of the Federatlonlst expressed
approval of it and announced their
purpose to support the Democratic
ticket:
John Mitchell, second vice president
A. F. of L.; James Duncan, first vice
president A. P. of L.; L. R. Thomas,
hecretary of Metal Trades association;
P. J. McArdle, president of Amalga
mated Iron, Steel and Tin Workers:
Daniel J. Keefe, sixth vice president
of A. F. of L.; Thomas F. Tracy, chair
man of legislative committee; Jere L.
Sullivan, Becretary-treusurer of notel
and Restaurant Employees; J. C.
Skcmp, secretary-treasurer of Broth
erhood Talnters, Decorators and Paper
hangers; Walter McArthur, editor of
Coast Seamen's Journal; Owen Miller,
necretury of American Federation of
Musicians; Cnl Wyatt, general organlz
, it or A. F. of L.; John Golden, presl
dent of Vnltcd Textile .Workers ot
1 America.
This is but a seloettoii from the list
nf names of those who wrote to tli
Atuerlciiu Federatlonlst approving Mr
Uompers programme. It Is a repre
j lentatlve selection, but there are many
others of quite as high standing
1 When the leaders of organized labor
; une I'l this fashion Into the open to
press n political programme and to
iupport the candidates of one pnrty
there Is reason for that party to count
kvlth confidence upon tbe organized la
bor vote.
